Odes of Solomon 33

Odae Solomontos

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

Grace again ran and left the Corruptor And came down upon him to bring him to naught:

2And he made utter destruction from before him And devastated all his array:

3And he stood on a lofty summit and cried aloud From one end of the earth to the other;

4And drew to him all those who obeyed him: And he did not appear as an evil person;

5But a perfect virgin stood Who was proclaiming and crying and saying:

6O ye sons of men, return ye; And ye their daughters, come ye;

7And leave the ways of that Corruptor, And draw near unto me;

8And I will enter into you And bring you forth from destruction; And I will make you wise in the ways of truth.

9Be not destroyed; Nor perish.

10Hear ye me and be saved; For the grace of God I am telling among you:

11And by my means you shall be redeemed and become blessed: I am your judge;

12And they who have put me on shall not be injured: But they shall possess incorruption in the new world.

13My chosen ones have walked in me, And my ways I will make known to them that seek me; And I will make them to trust in my name. Hallelujah.
