1
And now, I make no more an account of the traveling's of these prophets other than that all of them returned unto the land of Elōhizar. And when they had, straightway there was a council called, and in this council they delivered up all of their doings unto the people that they might be recorded, and it was Yūthel, wife of Aiyalfen, who recorded these things in this Little Book of Seers.
2
And also, in this Little Book of Seers, there is an account of the seers who were with Aiysaiyah, for after a number of years, they came up into the place of our habitation and dwelled with us, for it was that Aiysaiyah had been slain, for he would not reject the witness which he had bourn to the people. And now these seers are not named; nevertheless, their works are recorded, and in all, there were four seers from the south that came and dwelled in the land of Elōhizar the remainder of their days for the wickedness of the people in the south.
3
Now these seers went about the land of Elōhizar and recorded many things, for they brought with them a number of records which were kept in the position of Yahūdah. And this they did that these records might not be destroyed among the wicked in that part of the land, but that they would be preserved unto the last day. And these books are the doings of the tribes other than Yahūdah in that part of the land, for just as Yahūdah has many seers, so too do the other tribes. And they have brought these records up unto us that we might preserve them. And thus we preserve them.
4
Now, I nor Vovfen will record these records here, for they are quite spacious and fill a large portion of our records vault, for as we record on tablets in the manner of our fathers, these records were kept on scrolls and papyri and therefore take up much room. Nevertheless, I do see, for the Aiylōhyme have made it known unto me, that though many of our records be destroyed, these scrolls and papyri shall be preserved, and they shall be kept in hiding by a people not our own. And how this may happen, we know not, but we do know that YHVH Elohim, which is the name of Thūnoraz Aiylōhyme in their language, promised them that They would preserve these records unto the last day, for such was their faith, and thus we keep them until some other nation will be tasked with their keeping.
5
Nevertheless, when these seers had come up from the land of Yahūdah, they began teaching the people many things about the wickedness of the people of Yahūdah and that they would soon be destroyed. And they taught about their ways and customs, and in this way, the people of Elōhizar began to be moved unto compassion unto the people of the south, for in times past they had judged them as less righteous than they and had mocked them for their wickedness, and we know that Aiysaiyah set forth to right this wrong, and thus he did. And so it was that the people had compassion upon the people of the south.
6
And they desired to send prophets unto the people of the south that they might receive a second witness from a different people, for lo, they had received a witness from the mouth of their own prophets, greater still would be the same witness from a nation not their own.
7
And thus it was that there were three prophets who were sent unto the people of the south, and we know that they were met with great hostilities, for the people had slain their own prophets and had sought to slay them as well. For they were angered that Elohim would send them prophets from a land they considered to be lesser than their own. And we know that they called us pagans122 and vagabonds and called us the seed of Lōk. And in this way were the prophets cast out of their cities and out of their synagogues. And they found not one soul among the people of Aiyesholames willing to accept them in as kinsmen, for we truly are kinsmen, for Avrahyme is a descendant of Svemaz son of Nōh, as are we. Therefore, we are kin. Nevertheless, the prophets were cast out and the people sought to slay them, and they fled from the land and returned unto their own with great sorrow in their hearts for the people of the land of Yahūdah.
8
And the seers of Yahūdah, which had taken up residence with us, began to weep for their people and pleaded unto their Elohim that the people would be preserved.
9
And the word of YHVH Elohim came unto them, saying: Blessed are you, children. For you have sought diligently all your lives for the betterment of your people. And you have toiled in the streets with Aiysaiyah, who is in my bosom, and you have toiled in the streets with Yeshua,123 for inasmuch as you do these works, he has also done these works. Therefore, be of good cheer, for inasmuch as you have done these works, all that I have commanded you, you shall be preserved in my kingdom.
10
And I hear your cries, oh children, that you weep day and night for your kinsmen, for they are wicked and perverted my Ways. And they have cast down their Mother and have held up idols, and for this, if they repent not, they shall be destroyed. Nevertheless, because of your faith, my children, I shall cause my hand to be set a second time against them that some few of them may have a chance to repent and return again unto YHVH Elohim. Therefore, one final commandment I give unto you, that you preserve your ways and keep your paths straight before me and sin not. For in the day that you do, you shall have no promise. Nevertheless, if you are faithful unto the end, I shall cause a seer to be born from among your generations. And this seer shall begin again the work which his father, Aiysaiyah shall have begun. And this is my promise, that there shall be many among the people of Yahūdah which shall accept the law from this seer, and many prophets shall be raised up because of him, and in the end, those peoples shall be saved in my kingdom, for this is my will and your will and we are agreed.
11
And thus, when the voice of Elohim had ceased speaking to them, they began to weep for the joy in their hearts, for they truly knew that there would be many righteous spared among the seed of Yakov.
12
And we know that these seers were truly faithful unto the end, for is not Yōhannaz a fulfillment of their promise? We know that he is, for Yōhannaz, our father, taught us many things concerning the people of Yahūdah, that they were wicked, exceeding wicked, and that the Aiyseir stretched out his hand no longer, for they had rejected the prophets and the seers, and that they would be destroyed.
13
And we know that they were destroyed, for our own kinsmen aided the southerners in the destruction of the city of Aiyesholames. And this is a thing we mourn, but not can be done about it, for although the children of Yōhannaz remain righteous unto this day, the remainder of our kinsmen are wicked and warlike and have been since the beginning. Nevertheless, we do know that they brought back reports of the fallen city, and likewise, they brought back many slaves which they captured among the people of Yahūdah.
14
And now, this is the end of the Little Book of Seers, for after Aiyalfen passed over the wall, none recorded in it, and it was set in the repository with the remainder of the tablets. And I have not recorded everything in it; therefore, if it be expedient that at some future day it come forward in its wholeness, then that thing shall be good. Nevertheless, I have recorded the most important portions from that book, and I see that it is good. For it is good that we abridge it. Aiy.
