3 Meqabyan 6:1-16
1Think of the day when you will die - when your soul is separated from your flesh, when you leave your money for another, and when you go on the path you do not know.
2The demons that will receive you are evil; their features are ugly and they are frightening in their appearance. They will not listen to your words.
3Because you did not do the Will of your Creator, they will not hear you in your plea when you beg them; for this reason, they will completely terrify you.
4But those who fulfilled the Lord's Will have no fear, for the demons fear them. However, demons shall ridicule the souls of sinners.
5But the souls of kind people shall be joyful with the Angels in happiness; they shall be made joyful because they scorned this world.
6Angels of mercy shall receive the souls of kind and righteous people; they are sent from the Lord to comfort the souls of the righteous.
7O sinners, woe to you! Weep for yourselves before the day of your death arrives.
8Enter into repentance in your current era before your time passes, so that you might live in joy and happiness without tribulation or disease.
9Lest you follow a vain path that distances you from the Lord, let love be lavished in your self-criticism, so that gluttony and excessive pleasure are not found in you.
10As Moses spoke: Jacob ate and was satisfied; he grew fat, tall, and wide, and the Lord who created him was separated from him.
11And his lifestyle distanced him from the Lord. Let not the love of excessive pleasures be found among you.
12But a person who eats in moderation shall live strengthened by the Lord's support; he shall be firm like the horizon or like a tower with a stone fence.
13A kind person shall live in respect, like a lion.
14But those who do not love the Lord will not keep His Law, and their reasoning is not straight.
15The Lord shall bring sadness and alarm upon them while they are in this world - they will be seized with trembling and fright, and with countless tribulations.
16Lest they be among those who rest from tribulation, and lest their lifestyle be one of joy, He shall bring sadness and alarm upon them.
