| 2. Impiety increased; fornication multiplied; and they transgressed and corrupted all their ways. Amazarak taught all the sorcerers, and dividers of roots: Armers taught the solution of sorcery; Barkayal taught the observers of the stars, (9) Akibeel taught signs; Tamiel taught astronomy; And Asaradel taught the motion of the moon, And men, being destroyed, cried out; and their voice reached to heaven. (9) Observers of the stars. Astrologers (Charles, p. 67). |
And there was great wickedness and much fornication, and they sinned, and all their ways were corrupt. Amêzârâk taught all the conjurers and root-cutters, Armârôs the loosening of conjurations, Baraq'âl the astrologers, Kôkâbêl the signs, and Temêl taught astrology, and Asrâdêl taught the course of the moon. And in the destruction of mankind, they cried aloud, and their voices reached heaven.

And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal, (taught) astrology, Kokabel the constellations, Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven...

Ogudaktigheten tillvexte, afguderiet mångfaldigades, och de öfverträdde och förderfvade alla deras vägar. Amazarak underviste alla trollkarlar och rotdelare. Armers lärde trolldomens upplösning. Barkayal underviste dem, som gåfvo akt på stjernorna. Akibel underviste om tecknen. Tamiel underviste i Astronomien. Och Asaradel underrättade dem om månans rörelse. Men menniskorna, som blifvit förstörda, ropade och deras röst räckte till himlen.

Och det vardt stor ogudaktighet och mycket horeri, och de syndade, och alla deras vägar blefvo fördärfvade. Semjasa undervisade alla besvärjare och örtskärare; Armaros lärde besvärjelsernas lösning; Barakal undervisade stjärntydarna; Kokabel upplyste om himmelens tecken och om stjärntydningen, och Asradel om månens lopp. Och när människorna förgingos, ropade de, och deras stämma trängde till himmelen.
