História de José 25

1E, com efeito, os habitantes de Nazaré e da Galileia, tendo ouvido a sua lamentação, acorreram a eles e choraram desde a terceira hora até a nona. E à nona hora foram todos juntos até o leito de José. E levantaram o seu corpo, depois de o ungirem com preciosos unguentos. Mas eu roguei a meu Pai na oração dos celestiais — aquela mesma oração que com minha própria mão fiz antes de ser gerado no ventre da virgem Maria, minha mãe. E assim que a terminei e pronunciei o amém, uma grande multidão de anjos acorreu; e ordenei a dois deles que estendessem suas vestes resplandecentes e nelas envolvessem o corpo de José, o bendito ancião.

1And, indeed, the inhabitants of Nazareth and of Galilee, having heard of their lamentation, flocked to them, and wept from the third hour even to the ninth. And at the ninth hour they all went together to Joseph's bed. And they lifted his body, after they had anointed it with costly ointments. But I entreated my Father in the prayer of the celestials — that same prayer which with my own hand I made before I was carried in the womb of the virgin Mary, my mother. And as soon as I had finished it, and pronounced the amen, a great multitude of angels came up; and I ordered two of them to stretch out their shining garments, and to wrap in them the body of Joseph, the blessed old man.
