The Glad Tidings of Nikódemos 18

Scroll of the testimony of Karinus and Lúkius

1. "O my Sovereign Yâhuwshúa the Anointed, the Life and Resurrection of the dead (al. resurrection of the dead and the life of the living), permit us to speak of the secrets of Your majesty which You did perform after Your death upon the gallows-cross, inasmuch as we have been adjured by Your name. For You did command us Your servants to tell no man the secrets of Your pure Majesty, which You wrought in sh’ówl. Now when we were set together with all our fathers in the deep, in obscurity of darkness, on a sudden there came a golden heat of the luminary orb and a purple and royal light shining upon us. And immediately the dirt-man (’âthâ´m), the father of the entire race of men, together with all the chief fathers and preilluminators, rejoiced, saying: "This Light is the Chief (author) of everlasting Light which did promise to send unto us His co-eternal Light." And Yshá'Yâhuw cried out and said: "This is the Light of the Father, even the Son of the Power, according as I predicted when I lived upon the earth: 'The land of Zvuwlún and the land of Naphttâlíy beyond Yardë´n, of Gâlíyl of the Gowyím, the people that walked in darkness have seen a great Light, and they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them did the Light shine.' [Yshá'Yâhuw 9:1-2, MattithYâ´huw 4:13-16] And now It has come and shone upon us that sit in death." 2. And as we all rejoiced in the Light which shined upon us, there came unto us our father Shim'ówn, and he rejoicing said unto all of us: "Praise ye Yâ-hwéh Yâhuwshúa` the Anointed, the Son of the Power; for I received Him when He was born in my hands in the temple, and being moved of the spirit of the Pure One I made profession and said unto Him: 'Now have my eyes seen Your Favor which You have prepared before the face of all people, a Light for revelation to the Gowyím, and the Honor of Your people Yisrâ’ë´l.'" And when they heard these things, the entire multitude of the pure ones rejoiced yet more. 3. And after that there came one as it were a dweller in the wilderness, and as all inquired of him: "Who are you?" And he answered them and said: "I am Yâhuwchânâ´n, the 'voice' [Yshá'Yâhuw 40:3] and 'the preilluminator of the most High, which came before the face of His advent to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of deliverance for His people, by the release of their errors.' [Luwqá’ 1:76-77] And when I saw Him coming unto me, being moved of the spirit of the Pure One, I said: '"See, of Me! he [~middle] who is without regard for The Lamb (Këbíysh [~from Strong's 03532]) [Chanówkh 68:19], being the ones (m.) not of the mighty one of ’aharón (light-carrier/lucifer), are without regard for He Who is the One (m.) drawing up of the one (f.) [~middle sister (unpaired néphesh)] not being the error (f.) [~widow underneath], being the ones (m.) not of the cosmos.' And I immersed Him in the river of Yardë´n, and saw the spirit of the Pure One descending upon Him in the likeness of a dove, and heard a voice out of the heavens saying: "This is My Son, the Beloved One, in Whom I have found delight." And now, I have come before His face, and come down to declare unto you that He is at hand to visit us, even the Dawn, the Son of the Power, coming from on high unto us that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death."
