80、有时犹太人会在他们上方的半空中看见一位天使，手拿一根杖，这使他们明白他是摩西。他劝告他们放弃甚至在此等候弥赛亚的愚蠢行为，因为弥赛亚就是统治他们和其他所有人的基督。他说，他知道这一点，甚至在世时就对基督有所了解。听到这话，他们就离开了；大多数人都忘了，只有少数人记住了。记住的人被送到由转化的犹太人管理的会堂，在那里接受教导。其中接受教导的人被赐予新衣，以换下他们之前所穿的破衣，还被赐予一本整洁的圣言书面副本。他们在城里得到一个不错的家。然而，不接受教导的人则被投入他们那一大片区域之下的地狱；许多人被扔进森林和旷野，他们在那里彼此掠夺。
80. From time to time an angel with a rod in his hand appears in midair above them. He leads them to believe that he is Moses. He urges them to give up the folly of waiting for a messiah there, since Christ, who is ruling over them and over everyone, is the Messiah. He tells them that he himself knows this now, and that even when he was living in the world he knew something about Christ. After hearing this they go their way; most of them forget it but a few retain it. The ones who retain it are sent to synagogues of converted Jews, and are taught. The ones who accept this teaching are given new clothes instead of the ragged ones they had been wearing. They are also given a beautifully written copy of the Word and a nicer home in the city.
The ones who do not accept what they are taught are cast down into hells underneath that large region of theirs, many into forests and deserts, where they keep robbing each other.
80. There is sometimes seen by the Jews an angel at a moderate height above them with a rod in his hand, who gives them to understand he is Moses. He begs them to abandon the folly of waiting for the Messiah even there, since the Messiah is Christ, their ruler and everyone's. He says that he knows this and knew something about Him when he was in the world. On hearing this they depart; the majority forget it, and only a few remember. Those who do remember are sent to synagogues run by converted Jews, where they are instructed. Those of them who accept instruction are given new clothes to replace the rags they had before, and a neatly written copy of the Word. They are given a not ill-favoured home in the city. Those, however, who do not accept it are cast down into the hells below that wide region of theirs, many into forests and deserts, where they prey on one another.
80. An angel sometimes appears to them in a middle altitude above them, with a rod in his hand, and gives them to believe that he is Moses, and exhorts them to desist from the madness of expecting the Messiah even there, because Christ, who governs them and all other men, is the Messiah: he says, that he knows it to be so, and also, that when he was in the world, he knew something concerning Him. On hearing this, they retire; the chief part of them forgetting, and only a few retaining it. They who do retain it are sent to synagogues, which are composed of the converted, and are there instructed; and if they receive instruction, they have new garments given them in place of their old tattered ones, and are presented with the Word neatly written, and with a dwelling in a not unsightly city. But they who do not receive, are cast down into the hells, beneath their great tract; many also are cast into forests and into deserts, where they commit robberies among themselves.
80. Apparet illis aliquoties angelus supra, in media altitudine, cum baculo in manu; et dat credere quod sit Moses, ac hortatur ut desistant a vesania de exspectatione Messiae etiam ibi, quia Messias est Christus, qui illos et omnes regit; et quod ipse id sciat, et quoque aliquid de Ipso sciverit cum in mundo fuit: quibus auditis recedunt; et maxima pars obliviscuntur, et pauci retinent; et qui retinent, mittuntur ad synagogas, quae sunt ex conversis, ac instruuntur; et illis qui instructi recipiunt, dantur novae vestes pro laceris, in quibus prius fuerunt, et datur Verbum nitide scriptum, tum habitatio in urbe non indecora. Illi autem qui non recipiunt, dejiciuntur in inferna sub magno illorum tractu, et multi in silvas et in deserta, ubi agunt inter se latrocinia.
