Ascension of Isaiah 3
1And Belchîrâ recognized and saw the place of Isaiah and the prophets who were with him; for he dwelt in the region of Bethlehem, and was an adherent of Manasseh. And he prophesied falsely in Jerusalem, and many belonging to Jerusalem were confederate with him, and he was a Samaritan.

4And he was found in the days of Hezekiah speaking words of lawlessness in Jerusalem.

5And the servants of Hezekiah accused him, and he made his escape to the region of Bethlehem. And they persuaded [him and] the region of Bethlehem.

6And Balchîrâ accused Isaiah and the prophets who were with him, saying: 'Isaiah and those who are with him prophesy against Jerusalem and against the cities of Judah that they shall be laid waste and (against the children of Judah and) Benjamin also that they shall go into captivity, and also against thee, O lord the king, that thou shalt go (bound) with hooks and iron chains':

9But Moses said: 'No man can see God and live'; and Isaiah hath said: 'I have seen God and behold I live.'

10Know, therefore, O king, that he is lying. And Jerusalem also he hath called Sodom, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem he hath declared to be the people of Gomorrah. And he brought many accusations against Isaiah and the prophets before Manasseh.

11But Beliar dwelt in the heart of Manasseh and in the heart of the princes of Judah and Benjamin and of the eunuchs and of the councillors of the king.

12And the words of Belchira pleased him [exceedingly], and he sent and seized Isaiah.

13For Beliar was in great wrath against Isaiah by reason of the vision, and because of the exposure wherewith he had exposed Sammael, and because through him the going forth of the Beloved from the seventh heaven had been made known, and His transformation and His descent and the likeness into which He should be transformed (that is) the likeness of man, and the persecution wherewith He should be persecuted, and the tortures wherewith the children of Israel should torture Him, and the coming of His twelve disciples, and the teaching, and that He should before the Sabbath be crucified upon the tree, and should be crucified together with wicked men, and that He should be buried in the sepulchre,

14And the twelve who were with Him should be offended because of Him: and the watch of those who watched the sepulchre:

17And the Beloved sitting on their shoulders will come forth and send out His twelve disciples:

19And that many who believe in Him will speak through the Holy Spirit:
ወከመ፡ሀለዉ፡ብዙኃን፡እለ፡ይትአመኑ፡ቦቱ፡በመንፈስ፡ቅዱስ፡ይትናገሩ።
20And many signs and wonders will be wrought in those days.

22And there will be much contention on the eve of [His advent and] His approach.
ወይከውን፡ወከሕ፡ብዙኀ፡ለምጽአቱ፡ወለቀሪበቱ።
23And in those days many will love office, though devoid of wisdom.

24And there will be many lawless elders, and shepherds dealing wrongly by their own sheep, and they will ravage (them) owing to their not having holy shepherds.

25And many will change the honour of the garments of the saints for the garments of the covetous, and there will be much respect of persons in those days and lovers of the honour of this world.

26And there will be much slander and vainglory at the approach of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit will withdraw from many.

27And there will not be in those days many prophets, nor those who speak trustworthy words, save one here and there in divers places,
ወኢይሄልዉ፡በውእቱ፡መዋዕል፡ነቢያት፡ብዙኃን፡ወእለ፡ይትናገሩ፡ጽንዐተ፡እንበለ፡አሐቲ፡በመካናት።
28On account of the spirit of error and fornication and of vainglory, and of covetousness, which shall be in those, who will be called servants of that One and in those who will receive that One.

29And there will be great hatred in the shepherds and elders towards each other.
ወይከውን፡በምንኵስቶሙ፡ጽልኤ፡ዐቢይ፡በኖሎት፡ወበሊቃውንት፡በበይናቲሆሙ።
30For there will be great jealousy in the last days; for every one will say what is pleasing in his own eyes.

31And they will make of none effect the prophecy of the prophets which were before me, and these my visions also will they make of none effect, in order to speak after the impulse of their own heart.
