Ascension of Isaiah 9
2And when I trembled, behold I heard from hence another voice being sent forth, and saying: 'It is permitted to the holy Isaiah to ascend hither; for here is his garment.'

3And I asked the angel who was with me and said: 'Who is he who forbade me and who is he who permitted me to ascend?'

4And he said unto me: 'He who forbade thee, this is he who is over the praise-giving of the sixth heaven.
ወይቤለኒ፡ዘከልአክ፡ዘዲቤሁ፡ስብሓት፡ስድስቱ፡ሰማይ።
6And he raised me up into the seventh heaven, and I saw there a wonderful light and angels innumerable.

9And there I saw Enoch and all who were with him, stript of the garments of the flesh, and I saw them in their garments of the upper world, and they were like angels, standing there in great glory.

10But they sat not on their thrones, nor were their crowns of glory on them.

11And I asked the angel who was with me: 'How is it that they have received the garments, but have not the thrones and the crowns?'
ወተስእልክዎ፡ለመልአክ፡ዘምስሌየ፡ኤርፎ፡ዘአልባሰ፡ነሥኡ፡ወበመናብርትሲ፡ወበአክሊላት፡ኢሀለዉ።
12And he said unto me: 'Crowns and thrones of glory they do not receive, till the Beloved will descend in the form in which you will see Him descend [will descend, I say] into the world in the last days the Lord, who will be called Christ. Nevertheless they see and know whose will be thrones, and whose the crowns when He has descended, and been made in your form, and they will think that He is flesh and is a man.

14And the god of that world will stretch forth his hand against the Son, and they will crucify Him on a tree, and will slay Him not knowing who He is.

15And thus His descent, as you will see, will be hidden even from the heavens, so that it will not be known who He is.

16And when He hath plundered the angel of death, He will ascend on the third day, [and he will remain in that world five hundred and forty-five days].

17And then many of the righteous will ascend with Him, whose spirits do not receive their garments till the Lord Christ ascend and they ascend with Him.

18Then indeed they will receive their [garments and] thrones and crowns, when He has ascended into the seventh heaven.

19And I said unto him that which I had asked him in the third heaven:

20'Show me how everything which is done in that world is here made known.'

21And whilst I was still speaking with him, behold one of the angels who stood nigh, more glorious than the glory of that angel, who had raised me up from the world,

22Showed me a book, [but not as a book of this world] and he opened it, and the book was written, but not as a book of this world. And he gave (it) to me and I read it, and lo! the deeds of the children of Israel were written therein, and the deeds of those whom I know (not), my son Josab.

24And I saw there many garments laid up, and many thrones and many crowns.

26And he said unto me: 'These garments many from that world will receive, believing in the words of That One, who shall be named as I told thee, and they will observe those things, and believe in them, and believe in His cross: for them are these laid up.'

27And I saw a certain One standing, whose glory surpassed that of all, and His glory was great and wonderful.

28And after I had seen Him, all the righteous whom I had seen and also the angels whom I had seen came to Him. And Adam and Abel and Seth, and all the righteous first drew near and worshipped Him, and they all praised Him with one voice, and I myself also gave praise with them, and my giving of praise was as theirs.

29And then all the angels drew nigh and worshipped and gave praise.

30And I was (again) transformed and became like an angel.

31And thereupon the angel who conducted me, said to me: 'Worship this One,' and I worshipped and praised.

33And whilst he was still speaking, I saw another Glorious One who was like Him, and the righteous drew nigh and worshipped and praised, and I praised together with them. But my glory was not transformed into accordance with their form.

34And thereupon the angels drew near and worshipped Him.

35And I saw the Lord and the second angel, and they were standing.

36And the second whom I saw was on the left of my Lord. And I asked: 'Who is this?' and he said unto me: 'Worship Him, for He is the angel of the Holy Spirit, who speaketh in thee and the rest of the righteous.'

37And I saw the great glory, the eyes of my spirit being open, and I could not thereupon see, nor yet could the angel who was with me, nor all the angels whom I had seen worshipping my Lord.

38But I saw the righteous beholding with great power the glory of that One.

39And my Lord drew nigh to me and the angel of the Spirit and He said: 'See how it is given to thee to see God, and on thy account power is given to the angel who is with thee.'

40And I saw how my Lord and the angel of the Spirit worshipped, and they both together praised God.

41And thereupon all the righteous drew near and worshipped.

42And the angels drew near and worshipped and all the angels praised.
