Book of Baruch, ancient text purportedly written by Baruch, secretary and friend of Jeremiah, the Old Testament prophet. The text is still extant in Greek and in several translations from Greek into Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Ethiopic, and other languages. The Book of Baruch is apocryphal to the Hebrew and Protestant canons but was incorporated in the Septuagint and was included in the Old Testament for Roman Catholics. The work is a compilation of several authors and is the only work among the apocrypha that was consciously modeled after the prophetic writings of the Old Testament.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 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. LUKE 1:26-33
The Book of Zephaniah is the ninth of the Twelve Minor Prophets of the Old Testament and Tanakh, preceded by the Book of Habakkuk and followed by the Book of Haggai. Zephaniah means "Yahweh has hidden/protected," or "Yahweh hides".
Although this Gospel is, by some among the learned, supposed to have been really written by Nicodemus, who became a disciple of Jesus Christ, and conversed with him; others conjecture that it was a forgery towards the close of the third century by some zealous believer, who observing that there had been appeals made by the Christians of the former age, to the Acts of Pilate, but that such Acts could not be produced, imagined it would be of service to Christianity to fabricate and publish this Gospel; as it would both confirm the Christians under persecution, and convince the Heathens of the truth of the Christian religion.

2. KAPITTEL 1
Naftali, den åttende sønnen til Jakob og
Bilha. Løperen. En leksjon i fysiologi.
1 Kopien av Naftalis testamente, som han
innstiftet ved sin død i sitt hundre og
trettiende år av sitt liv.
2 Da sønnene hans var samlet i den
syvende måneden, den første dagen i
måneden, mens de fortsatt var friske,
gjorde han et gjestebud for dem med mat
og vin.
3 Og da han var våknet om morgenen, sa
han til dem: Jeg dør; og de trodde ham
ikke.
4 Og da han priste Herren, ble han sterk og
sa at etter gårsdagens høytid skulle han dø.
5 Og han begynte da å si: Hør, mine barn,
dere sønner av Naftali, hør deres fars ord!
6 Jeg er født fra Bilha, og fordi Rakel
handlet listig og ga Bilha i stedet for seg
selv til Jakob, og hun ble med barn og
fødte meg på Rakels knær, derfor kalte
hun meg Naftali.
7 For Rakel elsket meg høyt fordi jeg ble
født på fanget hennes; og da jeg ennå var
ung, pleide hun å kysse meg og si: Måtte
jeg få en bror til deg fra mitt eget liv, som
du!
8 Hvorfra også Josef var lik meg i alle ting,
ifølge Rakels bønner.
9 Min mor var Bilha, datter av Rotheus,
broren til Debora, Rebekkas sykepleier,
som ble født på en og samme dag med
Rakel.
10 Og Rotheus var av Abrahams ætt, en
kaldeer, gudfryktig, frifødt og edel.
11 Og han ble tatt til fange og ble kjøpt av
Laban; og han gav ham sin tjenerinne
Euna til hustru, og hun fødte en datter og
kalte henne Silpa etter navnet på den
landsbyen hvor han var blitt fanget.
12 Så fødte hun Bilha og sa: Datteren min
skynder seg etter det som er nytt, for straks
da hun ble født, grep hun brystet og
skyndte seg å suge det.
13 Og jeg var rask på føttene som hjorten,
og min far Jakob satte meg til alle budskap,
og som en hjort gav han meg sin
velsignelse.
14 For likesom pottemakeren kjenner karet,
hvor mye det skal inneholde, og bringer
leire tilsvarende, slik gjør også Herren
legemet etter åndens likhet, og etter
legemets evne innplanter han ånden.
15 Og den ene mangler ikke den andre
med en tredjedel av et hår; for etter vekt og
mål og herske ble hele skapningen til.
16 Og som pottemakeren vet bruken av
hvert kar, hva det er egnet til, slik kjenner
også Herren legemet, hvor langt det vil
vedvare i godhet, og når det begynner i
ondskap.
17 For det er ingen tilbøyelighet eller
tanke som Herren ikke kjenner, for han
skapte hvert menneske etter sitt bilde.
18 For som en manns styrke, således også i
hans gjerning; som hans øye, slik også i
søvne; som hans sjel, slik også i hans ord
enten i Herrens lov eller i Beliars lov.
19 Og likesom det er skille mellom lys og
mørke, mellom å se og høre, slik er det
også skille mellom mann og mann og
mellom kvinne og kvinne; og det er ikke
til å si at den ene er lik den andre verken i
ansiktet eller i sinnet.
20 For Gud gjorde alt godt i sin rekkefølge,
de fem sansene i hodet, og han forbandt
halsen med hodet, og la også håret til det
til skjærhet og ære, deretter hjertet til
forstand, og magen til ekskrementer, og
magen for å kverne, luftrøret for å trekke
inn pusten, leveren for vrede, gallen for
bitterhet, milten for latter, tøylene for
klokskap, lendens muskler for kraft,
3. lungene for å trekke inn, lendene for styrke
og så videre.
21 Så, mine barn, la alle eders gjerninger
gjøres med god hensikt i gudsfrykt, og
ikke gjør noe uorden i hån eller utenom tid.
22 For dersom du ber øyet å høre, kan det
ikke; Så når dere er i mørket, kan dere
heller ikke gjøre lysets gjerninger.
23 Vær derfor ikke ivrig etter å forderve
deres gjerninger ved begjærlighet eller
med tomme ord for å forføre deres sjeler.
For hvis dere holder stille i hjertets renhet,
skal dere forstå hvordan dere holder fast
ved Guds vilje og forkaster Beliars vilje.
24 Sol og måne og stjerner, endre ikke
deres rekkefølge; slik forandrer heller ikke
dere Guds lov i deres uorden i deres
gjerninger.
25 Hedningene gikk vill og forlot Herren
og bød på sin ordre og adlød stokke og
steiner, svikeånder.
26 Men dere skal ikke være slik, mine barn,
og kjenne på himmelhvelvingen, på jorden
og i havet og i alle skapte ting, Herren som
har skapt alle ting, at dere ikke blir som
Sodoma, som forandret orden til natur.
27 På samme måte forandret også
vaktmennene deres natur, som Herren
forbannet ved vannflommen, for hvis
skyld han gjorde jorden uten innbyggere
og fruktløs.
28 Dette sier jeg til dere, mine barn, for jeg
har lest i Enoks skrift at dere selv skal vike
fra Herren og vandre i samsvar med all
hedningenes lovløshet, og dere skal gjøre i
samsvar med all ondskapen Sodoma.
29 Og Herren skal føre fangenskap over
deg, og der skal du tjene din fiende mie, og
dere skal bøyes med all trengsel og
trengsel, inntil Herren har fortært dere alle.
30 Og etter at dere er blitt mindre og få,
vender dere tilbake og anerkjenner Herren
deres Gud; og han skal føre deg tilbake til
ditt land etter sin store miskunnhet.
31 Og det skal skje at etter at de kommer
til sine fedres land, skal de igjen glemme
Herren og bli ugudelige.
32 Og Herren skal spre dem over hele
jordens overflate, inntil Herrens
barmhjertighet kommer, en mann som gjør
rettferdighet og viser barmhjertighet mot
alle dem som er langt borte, og mot dem
som er nær.
KAPITTEL 2
Han ber om et ordnet liv. Kjente for deres
evige visdom er vers 27-30.
1 For i mitt førtiende år så jeg et syn på
Oljeberget, øst for Jerusalem, at solen og
månen sto stille.
2 Og se, Isak, min fars far, sa til oss: Løp
og grip dem, hver etter sin styrke; og den
som griper dem, skal solen og månen
tilhøre.
3 Og vi løp alle sammen, og Levi grep
solen, og Juda overgikk de andre og grep
månen, og de ble begge løftet opp med
dem.
4 Og da Levi ble som en sol, se, en ung
mann ga ham tolv palmegrener; og Juda
var lyst som månen, og under deres føtter
var det tolv stråler.
5 Og de to, Levi og Juda, løp og grep dem.
6 Og se, en okse på jorden, med to store
horn og en ørnevinger på ryggen; og vi
ville gripe ham, men kunne ikke.
7 Men Josef kom og grep ham og steg opp
med ham i det høye.
8 Og jeg så, for jeg var der, og se, en hellig
skrift viste seg for oss, som sier: Assyrere,
medere, persere, kaldeere, syrere, skal eie
Israels tolv stammer i fangenskap.
9 Og igjen, etter syv dager, så jeg vår far
Jakob stå ved Jamnia-sjøen, og vi var med
ham.
4. 10 Og se, det kom et skip som seilte forbi,
uten sjømenn eller los; og det var skrevet
på skipet: Jakobs skip.
11 Og vår far sa til oss: Kom, la oss gå om
bord på vårt skip.
12 Og da han var gått ombord, kom det en
heftig storm og en sterk vindstorm; og vår
far, som holdt roret, dro fra oss.
13 Og vi, som var begeistret for stormen,
ble båret over havet; og skipet ble fylt med
vann og ble slått av kraftige bølger, inntil
det ble brutt opp.
14 Og Josef flyktet på en liten båt, og vi
ble alle delt på ni planker, og Levi og Juda
var sammen.
15 Og vi ble alle spredt til jordens ender.
16Da bad Levi, omgjord i sekk, til Herren
for oss alle.
17 Og da stormen hadde lagt seg, nådde
skipet land som det var i fred.
18 Og se, vår far kom, og vi gledet oss alle
sammen.
19 Disse to drømmene fortalte jeg min far;
og han sa til meg: Disse ting må oppfylles
i sin tid, etter at Israel har utholdt mange
ting.
20 Da sa min far til meg: Jeg tror Gud at
Josef lever, for jeg ser alltid at Herren
teller ham med deg.
21 Og han gråtende sa: Å jeg, min sønn
Josef, du lever, selv om jeg ikke ser deg,
og du ikke ser Jakob som fødte deg.
22 Derfor fikk han også meg til å gråte ved
disse ord, og jeg brente i mitt hjerte for å
kunngjøre at Josef var solgt, men jeg
fryktet mine brødre.
23 Og se! mine barn, jeg har vist dere de
siste tider, hvordan alt skal skje i Israel.
24 Pålegg derfor også eders barn at de skal
forenes med Levi og Juda! for ved dem
skal frelse komme for Israel, og Jakob skal
velsignes med dem.
25 For gjennom deres stammer skal Gud
vise seg som bor blant menneskene på
jorden, for å frelse Israels slekt og for å
samle de rettferdige fra hedningene.
26 Hvis dere gjør det som er godt, mine
barn, skal både menn og engler velsigne
dere. og Gud skal prises blant hedningene
ved deg, og djevelen skal flykte fra deg, og
ville dyr skal frykte deg, og Herren skal
elske deg, og englene skal holde seg til deg.
27 Som en mann som har opplært et barn
godt, blir minnet godt; slik er det også for
en god gjerning en god ihukommelse for
Gud.
28 Men den som ikke gjør det som er godt,
både engler og mennesker skal forbanne,
og Gud skal bli vanæret blant hedningene
ved ham, og djevelen skal gjøre ham til sitt
eget redskap, og hvert vill dyr skal
beherske ham, og Herren skal hate ham.
29 For lovens bud er todelt, og ved
klokskap skal de oppfylles.
30 For det er en tid for en mann å omfavne
sin hustru, og en tid til å avstå fra det for
sin bønn.
31 Så det er to bud; og med mindre de
gjøres i riktig rekkefølge, bringer de veldig
stor synd over mennesker.
32 Slik er det også med de andre bud.
33 Vær derfor vise i Gud, mine barn, og
kloke, idet dere forstår rekkefølgen til hans
bud, en d lovene i hvert ord, så Herren kan
elske deg,
34 Og da han hadde pålagt dem mange
slike ord, formanet han dem at de skulde
flytte hans ben til Hebron, og at de skulde
begrave ham hos hans fedre.
35 Og da han hadde spist og drukket med
et lystig hjerte, dekket han ansiktet og
døde.
36 Og hans sønner gjorde alt som deres far
Naftali hadde befalt dem.
