And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

2. CAPÍTULO 1
Benxamín, o duodécimo fillo de Xacob e Raquel,
o bebé da familia, convértese en filósofo e
filántropo.
1 A copia das palabras de Benxamín, que
mandou observar aos seus fillos, despois de que
vivise cento vinte e cinco anos.
2 E bicounos e dixo: Como Isaac lle naceu a
Abraham na súa vellez, así fun eu a Xacob.
3 E como Raquel morreu miña nai ao darme a
luz, eu non tiña leite; por iso fun aleitando pola
súa serva Bilha.
4 Porque Raquel permaneceu estéril doce anos
despois de dar a luz a Xosé; e orou ao Señor
con xaxún durante doce días, e concibiuse e
deume.
5 Porque o meu pai quería moito a Raquel e
rezaba para que vise nacer dela dous fillos.
6Por iso chamáronme Benxamín, é dicir, fillo
de días.
7 E cando entrei a Exipto a Xosé, e o meu
irmán recoñeceume, díxome: Que lle dixeron a
meu pai cando me venderon?
8 E díxenlle: "Empregaron a túa túnica con
sangue e enviáronlla e dixéronlle: "Sabe se esta
é a túnica do teu fillo".
9 E díxome: Así mesmo, irmán, cando me
quitaron o abrigo déronme aos ismaelitas, e
déronme un pano, azotaronme e dixéronme
correr.
10 E en canto a un dos que me golpearan cunha
vara, un león atopouse con el e matouno.
11 E así asustáronse os seus compañeiros.
12 Por iso, tamén vós, fillos meus, amade ao
Señor Deus do ceo e da terra, e gardades os
seus mandamentos, seguindo o exemplo do
home bo e santo Xosé.
13 E que a túa mente sexa ben, tal como me
coñeces; pois quen baña ben a súa mente ve ben
todas as cousas.
14 Teme ao Señor e ama ao teu próximo; e
aínda que os espíritos de Beliar digan que te
aflixen con todo mal, aínda non te dominarán,
como non o tiñan sobre Xosé, meu irmán.
15 Cantos homes querían matalo, e Deus o
protexeu!
16 Porque o que teme a Deus e ama ao seu
próximo non pode ser ferido polo espírito de
Beliar, sendo protexido polo medo de Deus.
17 Tampouco pode ser gobernado polo artificio
dos homes ou das bestas, porque é axudado
polo Señor polo amor que lle ten ao seu
próximo.
18 Porque Xosé tamén rogou ao noso pai que
pregase polos seus irmáns, para que o Señor
non lles imputase como pecado calquera mal
que lle fixeran.
19 E así gritou Xacob: Meu bo fillo, venceches
sobre as entrañas do teu pai Xacob.
20 E abrazouno e bicouno durante dúas horas,
dicindo:
21 En ti cumprirase a profecía do ceo sobre o
Cordeiro de Deus e Salvador do mundo, e que
un intachable será entregado por homes
inculpables, e un sen pecado morrerá por homes
impíos no sangue do pacto. , para a salvación
dos xentís e de Israel, e destruirá a Beliar e aos
seus servos.
22 ¿Ves, pois, fillos meus, o fin do home bo?
23 Sede, polo tanto, seguidores da súa
compaixón, con boa mente, para que tamén vós
levedes coroas de gloria.
24 Porque o bo non ten ollo escuro; pois el ten
misericordia con todos os homes, aínda que
sexan pecadores.
25 E aínda que conciben con mala intención.
respecto a el, facendo o ben vence o mal, sendo
3. protexido por Deus; e ama aos xustos coma á
súa propia alma.
26 Se alguén é glorificado, non lle envexa; se
alguén se enriquece, non é celoso; se alguén é
valeroso, eloxiao; o home virtuoso que eloxia;
do pobre ten piedade; dos débiles ten
compaixón; a Deus canta loanzas.
27 E ao que ten a graza dun espírito bo, ama
como á súa propia alma.
28 Se, polo tanto, tamén tedes boa mente, os
dous malvados estarán en paz contigo, e os
descarriados te reverenciarán e converteranse
no ben; e os cobizosos non só cesarán do seu
desexo desmesurado, senón que incluso
entregarán os obxectos da súa cobiza aos
aflixidos.
29 Se facedes ben, mesmo os espíritos impuros
fuxirán de vós; e as bestas te temerán.
30 Porque onde hai reverencia polas boas obras
e luz na mente, mesmo as tebras foxen del.
31 Porque se alguén fai violencia a un home
santo, arrepíntese; porque o home santo ten
misericordia co seu insultante e cala.
32 E se alguén traizoa a un xusto, o xusto ora; a
índa que por un pouco se humilla, non moito
despois aparece moito máis glorioso, como o
foi Xosé, meu irmán.
33 A inclinación do home de ben non está no
poder do engano do espírito de Beliar, pois o
anxo da paz guía a súa alma.
34 E non mira apaixonadamente as cousas
corruptibles, nin reúne riquezas mediante un
desexo de pracer.
35 Non se deleita no pracer, non entrista o seu
pr ó ximo, non se sacia con luxos, non se
equivoca na elevaci ó n dos ollos, porque o
Señor é a súa porción.
36 A boa inclinaci ó n non recibe gloria nin
deshonra dos homes, e non coñece ning ú n
engano, nin mentira, nin loita nin injuria;
porque o Señor habita nel e alumea a súa alma,
e sempre se alegra con todos os homes.
37 A boa mente non ten d ú as linguas, de
bendición e de maldición, de insulto e de honra,
de tristeza e de alegría, de quietud e de confusi
ón, de hipocrisía e de verdade, de pobreza e de
riqueza; pero ten unha mesma disposici ó n,
incorrupta e pura, con respecto a todos os
homes.
38 Non ten dobre vista, nin dobre oído; pois en
todo o que fai, ou fala ou ve, sabe que o Señor
mira a súa alma.
39 E limpa a súa mente para que non sexa
condenado tanto polos homes como por Deus.
40 E do mesmo xeito as obras de Beliar son
dobres, e non hai nelas unidade.
41 Por iso, meus fillos, d í govos: foxe da
malicia de Beliar; pois dá espada aos que lle
obedecen.
42 E a espada é a nai de sete males. Primeiro a
mente concibe a través de Beliar, e primeiro hai
derramamento de sangue; en segundo lugar ruí
na; en terceiro lugar, a tribulación; en cuarto
lugar, o exilio; en quinto lugar, a escaseza; en
sexto lugar, pánico; en sétimo lugar, a destrució
n.
43 "Por iso, Caín tamén foi entregado a sete
vinganzas por Deus, porque cada cen anos o
Señor traía sobre el unha praga.
44 E cando tiña douscentos anos comezou a
sufrir, e no ano novecentos foi destruído.
45 Porque por mor de Abel, seu irmán, foi
xulgado con todos os males, pero Lamec con
setenta veces sete.
4. 46 Porque para sempre os que son como Caín
na envexa e o odio dos irmáns, serán castigados
co mesmo xuízo.
CAPÍTULO 2
O verso 3 contén un exemplo sorprendente da
serenidade, pero a vivacidade das figuras de
estilo destes antigos patriarcas.
1 E vós, fillos meus, fuxide da maldade, da
envexa e do odio aos irmáns, e aférrate á
bondade e ao amor.
2 O que ten unha mente pura no amor, non
coida dunha muller con vistas á fornicación;
porque non ten contaminación no seu corazón,
porque o Espírito de Deus descansa sobre el.
3 Pois como o sol non se contamina brillando
sobre esterco e lodo, senón que seca os dous e
afasta o mal cheiro; así tamén a mente pura,
aínda que está rodeada polas contaminacións da
terra, máis ben as limpa e non se contamina.
4 E creo que tamén haberá malas accións entre
vós, a partir das palabras de Enoc o xusto: que
fornicaredes coa fornicación de Sodoma, e
pereceredes, todos salvo uns poucos, e
renovaredes actos desenfadados coas mulleres. ;
e o reino do Señor non estará entre vós, porque
deseguida o quitará.
5 Con todo, o templo de Deus estará na túa
parte, e o último templo será máis glorioso que
o primeiro.
6 E reuniranse alí as doce tribos e todos os
xentís, ata que o Altísimo envíe a súa salvación
na visita dun profeta unigénito.
7 E entrará no primeiro templo, e alí o Señor
será tratado con indignación, e será levantado
sobre unha árbore.
8 E o veo do templo rasgarase, e o Espírito de
Deus pasará aos xentís como lume derramado.
9 E subirá do Hades e pasará da terra ao ceo.
10 E sei o humilde que será na terra e o glorioso
no ceo.
11 Cando Xosé estaba en Exipto, desexaba ver
a súa figura e a forma do seu rostro; e a través
das oracións de Xacob, meu pai, vin o, mentres
estaba esperto durante o día, ata a súa figura
enteira exactamente como estaba.
12 E cando dixo estas cousas, díxolles: Sabedes,
pois, fillos meus, que estou a morrer.
13 Facede, polo tanto, a verdade cada un co seu
próximo e garda a lei do Señor e os seus
mandamentos.
14Por estas cousas déixovos en vez de herdanza.
15 Tamén vós dádellos aos vosos fillos en
posesión eterna; pois o mesmo fixeron
Abraham, Isaac e Xacob.
16 Por todas estas cousas déronnos por
herdanza, dicindo: Garda os mandamentos de
Deus, ata que o Señor revele a súa salvación a
todos os xentís.
17 E entón veredes a Enoc, a Noé, a Sem, a
Abraham, a Isaac e a Xacob, erguerse á dereita
con alegría.
18 Entón tamén nos levantaremos, cada un
sobre a nosa tribo, adorando ao Rei do ceo, que
apareceu na terra en forma de home en
humildade.
19 E cantos crean nel na terra alegraranse con el.
20 Entón tamén se levantarán todos os homes,
uns para a gloria e outros para a vergoña.
21 E o Señor xulgará primeiro a Israel, pola súa
iniquidade; porque cando apareceu como Deus
en carne para libralos, non creron nel.
22 E entón xulgará a todos os xentís, a cantos
non creron nel cando apareceu na terra.
23 E condenará a Israel a través dos escollidos
dos xentís, igual que reprochou a Esaú a través
dos madianitas, que enganaron aos seus irmáns,
de modo que caeron na fornicación e na
5. idolatría; e foron afastados de Deus,
converténdose, polo tanto, fillos na parte dos
que temen ao Señor.
24 Polo tanto, se vós, fillos meus, andades na
santidade segundo os mandamentos do Señor,
volveredes a vivir seguros comigo, e todo Israel
reunirase ante o Señor.
25 E xa non me chamarán lobo rapaces polos
teus estragos, senón obreiro do Señor que
reparte alimentos aos que fan o bo.
26 E xurdirá nos últimos días un amado do
Señor, da tribo de Xudá e de Leví, que fará o
seu bo gusto na súa boca, cun novo
coñecemento que iluminará aos xentís.
27 Ata a consumación do século estará nas
sinagogas dos xentís e entre os seus
gobernantes, como unha música na boca de
todos.
28 E será inscrito nos libros sagrados, tanto a
súa obra como a súa palabra, e será un elixido
de Deus para sempre.
29 E a través deles irá e irá como meu pai
Xacob, dicindo: Encherá o que falte da túa tribo.
30 E dito isto, estendeu os pés.
31 E morreu nun fermoso e bo sono.
32 E os seus fillos fixeron o que el lles mandara,
e levaron o seu corpo e enterrarono en Hebrón
cos seus pais.
33 E o número dos días da súa vida foi de cento
vinte e cinco anos.
