English: And I said to him, 'If they agreed to this, with the consent of God, then no sin rests upon Adam.' And the Cherubim said unto me, 'By no means. If Adam had been patient for a short time, God would have said to him, 'Eat thou of the tree.'
Coptic: απνουτε fι μμαυ ντδικαιοσυνη εττο hιωωκ αfνοjf εβολ hμππαραδισοσ jεκασ ερενενταfjοου jωκ εβολ νfjοου μπεfsηρε επκοσμοσ .

Coptic: αfταμιοσ ευσhιμε αfμεhτβητσπιρ νσαρξ επεσμα .
English: and made it into a woman, and that He filled up the place where the rib was in his side with flesh.
Coptic: ουκ ουν πδιμιουργοσ αfταμιεσναυ νσωμα .
English: The Almighty did not then create two bodies,
Coptic: ευο νουσωμα νουωτ .

English: At the time when God created Adam, He created Eve also with him, in one body,
Coptic: μπναυ γαρ ετερεπδεσποδησ ρhωβ εαδαμ νερεπκεμεευε νευhα νμμαf .

Coptic: ετβεπαι απσωμα σναυ sωπε εβολ hνουσωμα νουωτ .
English: For this reason two bodies came from one body,
Coptic: αλλα μπεfπορjου εβολ ννευερηυ ντευνου .

Coptic: νsορπ νε νεfειειβ νταυωcβ αfριμε εhραι επjοεισ

Coptic: jεουοει ναι παjοεισ μπναυ εthαρεh ενεντολη μπνουτε .
English: saying, Woe is me, O my Lord. At the time when I kept the commandments of God,
Coptic: μπατιουωμ εβολ hμπsην .
English: and before I did eat of the [fruit of] the tree,
Coptic: νερεπασωμα τηρf ουοβs ντhε μπαειειβ 
English: my whole body was white like my nails.
Coptic: ετβεπαι σοπ νιμ εsαρεαδαμ cωsτ εjννεfειειβ sαfριμε νfρhηβε ντhε νιεζεκιασ νταfsωνε αfcωsτ εhουν ετjοε .
English: For this reason every time Adam looked upon his nails, he used to cry out and weep, even as Hezekiah, when he was sick, used to turn towards the wall, and weep.'
Coptic: αfριμε η ντοf ετβεου μπfcωsτ νρωμε νfριμε .
English: [And I answered and said unto the Cherubim, 'When Hezekiah] was weeping, why did he not look at a man [instead of] weeping?'
Coptic: πεjεπεχειρουβειν ναι jεtναουωνh νακ εβολ νhωβ νιμ .
English: And the Cherubim said unto me, 'Hearken, and I will make everything manifest to you,
Coptic: ω ππαρθενοσ ετνhοτ ασsωπε δε hμπεουοειs νσολομων .
English: O faithful virgin. Now it came to pass in the time of Solomon
Coptic: πρρο αfαναγκαζε ννδαιμων .

Coptic: μντμινε ννβοτανη εsαυτααυ ενsωνε νσελο .
English: and the various kinds of herbs which must be used in relieving pains,
Coptic: ασολομων σhαισου τηρου ετjο μπηι μπνουτε .
English: and Solomon wrote them all down upon the wall in the House of God.
Coptic:  ρωμε νιμ εsαfsωνε hνsωνε νιμ sαfβωκ εhουν επρπε νfcωsτ τjο sαfhε εππαhρε εfσηh ετjο εκαταπεfsωνε .
English: And any man who was attacked by a sickness [or, disease], no matter of what kind, used to go into the temple, and look upon the wall, until he found there written the remedy which was suitable for his sickness;
Coptic: νffιτf νfβωκ επεfηι εftεοου μπνουτε .
English: then he would take that remedy, and would go into his house, ascribing glory to God.
Coptic: ασsωπε δε ντερεσωλομων πρρο μου αιεζεκιασ jεhνjο μπρπε νκονια μπουhε εροου νκεσοπ .
English: And it came to pass that, after Solomon the king was dead, Hezekiah plastered over the walls of the temple with lime, and the prescriptions for the relief of sickness could no longer be found.

English: Now when Hezekiah the king had fallen sick, and was sick unto death, he could not find the prescription whereby to heal his sickness,
Coptic: επειδη ντοf πενταfjεhνjοε μπρπε hμπκωνια .
English: because it was he himself who had plastered over the walls of the temple with lime.
Coptic: ετερε μπαhρε σηh εροου μπεfhε εροου νκεσοπ αfβωκ εhουν επηι μπjοεισ .
English: And when the prescriptions which had been written upon them could not be found again, he went into the house of the Lord,
Coptic: αfνκοτκ αfcωsτ εjο αfριμε εfjω μμοσ .
English: and lay down there, and he looked upon the wall, and he wept,
Coptic: jεπjοεισ μη ουνοβε πε νταfαιααf αικωνιαζε ννjοε ετερεμπαhρε σηh εροσ hμπκωνια ειjω μμοσ jεευsανσπσππνουτε hνουhλπισ σεναλο .
English: saying, 'My Lord, let not that which I have done in the matter of plastering over with lime the walls, whereon were inscribed the prescriptions for healing, be held to be a sin [by Thee], for I said, Let men make supplication to God with hope, and they shall find healing.
Coptic: μμον νειναhε πε μπαhρε νταταλcο .
English: Never shall I find a prescription for healing whereby I may be made whole.'
Coptic: απjοεισ σωτμ αfsνhτηf hαροf αfjοου sαροf νησαιασ πεπροφητησ αfsαjε νμμαf εfjω μμοσ jεjι νουτακνκντε νγλαλωωκ μμοf αυω κναμτον .

Coptic: τενου cε ω ιωhαννησ πετναειρε μπνουτε μεfκααf νσωf .
English: Now therefore, O John, God will never forsake the man who performeth [His commandments].'
Coptic:  παλιν ον πεjαι μπεχειρουβειν .
English: And again I said unto the Cherubim,
Coptic: jεπαjοεισ ειουωs ετρεκταμοι επτωs ννεχειρουβειν εsαραπευhροου sωπε .
English: My Lord, I would that thou didst make me to understand the matter of the Cherubim, whose voices cry so loudly
Coptic: hντπε ντετμντρωμε sτορτρ hιjμπκαh .
English: in heaven that mankind tremble upon earth (at the sounds thereof).'
Coptic: πεjεπεχειρουβειν ναι jεκναυ ενεινοc ντηυ ευοτπ εhουν ενευαhωρ ερεναγγελοσ hιjωου .
English: And the Cherubim said unto me, Dost thou see these great winds which are shut up inside their storehouses, over which the angels are set?
Coptic: ρsαντσαλπιγξ συμανε μπhουν μπκαταπετασμα sαρεντηυ ετcην ει εβολ νσενιfε νσαντνh μπαγγελοσ ετhιjντπυγη ντειωτε ντεπαγγελοσ κιμ ννεfτνh ντεtωτε ει εjμπκαh ντεαυξανε νcινεcροοc μπκαh .
English: When the trumpet soundeth inside the covering (or, veil), the gentle winds come forth, and they breathe upon the wings of the angel who is over the fountain of the dew; then the angel moveth his wings, and the dew cometh upon the earth, and the seed (or, grain) groweth in the earth,
Coptic: νsην μννσωsε μννκαρποσ .
English: and the trees, and the crops, and the fruit.
Coptic: εsωπε μπετσαλπιγξ μουτε sαρεουσμη εσναsτ ει εβολ hντπε ντεπμουνhωου ει εjνπκαh εfοs νfτρενκαρποσ αsαι μνμμοου μμουνhωου .
English: If the trumpet doth not sound, a harsh, strong noise cometh forth from heaven, and thereupon the waters of rain come upon the earth in great quantities, which make the fruits grow, and rain-storms,
Coptic: μννεhρουββαι νετενρωμε ρhοτε hητου .
English: and thunders of which men are afraid.
Coptic: πεhροου γαρ νντνh ννσεραφειν πετρhμμε νμμουνhωου .
English: For it is the sound of the rustling of the wings of the Seraphim which governs the waters of rain,
Coptic: sαντεfει επεσητ επεστερεωμα νfει εjμπκαh hνουcνον .
English: until they come down into the firmament; and they fall on the earth gently,
Coptic: jεννfει εfναsτ νfρπκαh νjαιε ντhε ννεhωου ννωhε μπεhρουββαι sωπε νhητf 
English: for if they were to descend upon the earth in their (full) violence they would lay waste the earth just as did the waters of Noah and the lightnings which came with them.
Coptic:  επειδη μπενσεραφειν ει επεσητ νσερhμμε μπμουνhωου . εβολ jενερεμμοου τηρου hντπε νμπηυε .
English: (This would happen) if the Seraphim did not come down to govern the waters of the rain, for all the waters are in the sky and the heavens.

Coptic: εσαsε νthε 
English: and maketh it to be suspendeth thus.'
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεεσαsε hνουπιστισ μνουτωs ντεπνουτε .

Coptic: πεjαι ναf ον jεου πεττωουν hαπκαh .
English: And I said unto him, 'What is it that supporteth the earth?'
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεfτοου νστυλλοσ νεττωουν hαπκαh ευτοοβε νσαsfε νσφραγισ .
English: And he said unto me, 'It is four pillars which support the earth, and they are sealed with seven seals.'

English: And I said unto him, 'My Lord, be not wroth with me
Coptic: sαντιjνουκ επεικεhωβ .

English: God appointed twelve Cherubim to stand outside the curtain (or, inner veil) and they were not to toil in any way, but were to sing twelve hymns daily.
Coptic: ερsανπsορπ jωκ εβολ μπεfhυμνοσ ειε ατsορπ νουνου jωκ εβολ .
English: When the first Cherubim had finished (singing) his hymn, the first hour came to an end.

Coptic:  πεjαι ναf jεειε τμντσνοουσ νουνου ντευsη νσεραφειν τηs εροου ον jινμμον 
English: I said to him, 'As concerning the twelve hours of the night: are there Seraphim appointed over them, or not?'
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεμμον αλλα ντβνοουε νε μννhαλαατε μννjατβε .
English: And he said unto me, 'Assuredly not, but when the beasts, and the birds, and the reptiles
Coptic: ευsανt ντευπροσευχη sαρετsορπ νουνου jωκ εβολ .
English: pray, the first hour is ended.
Coptic: ερsαντμεhσντε νουνου jωκ εβολ sαρενεθηριον t ννευσμη sαhραι ετμεhμντσνοουσ νουνου ντευsη .

English: And I said unto the Cherubim, 'Doth the sun know when the twelve hours have come to an end,
Coptic: νfβωκ επεfμα νhωτπ η νfει εhραι .
English: so that he may depart to the place where he setteth or riseth?'
Coptic: πεjαf ναι jεναγγελοσ νετεsαυσαλπιζε ευsανjωκ εβολ sαρεμιχαηλ ειμε jεαπμεhμντσνοουσ νhυμνοσ jωκ εβολ sαfsαjε μνπαγγελοσ μπρη νfμοοsε νfjωκ εβολ ντfταξισ .
