Pistis Sophia 11

1"Aconteceu então que, quando vi o mistério de todas estas palavras na veste que me fora enviada, vesti-me imediatamente com ela, e resplandeci com supremo fulgor e me elevei às alturas.

1"It came to pass then, when I saw the mystery of all these words in the vesture which was sent me, that straightway I clothed myself therewith, and I shone most exceedingly and soared into the height.

2"Cheguei diante da primeira porta do firmamento, brilhando extraordinariamente, e não havia medida para a luz que me cercava; e as portas do firmamento estremeceram umas defronte das outras e todas se abriram de uma vez.

2"I came before the [first] gate of the firmament, shining most exceedingly, and there was no measure for the light which was about me, and the gates of the firmament were shaken one over against another and all opened at once.

3"E todos os governantes, todas as autoridades e todos os anjos que nele habitam foram postos em perturbação por causa da grande luz que sobre mim resplandecia. E contemplaram a radiante veste de luz com que eu estava cingido, e viram o mistério que continha os seus nomes, e temeram com extremo pavor. E todas as suas cadeias com que estavam atados foram desatadas, e cada um abandonou a sua ordem; e prostraram-se todos diante de mim, adoraram e disseram: 'Como passou por nós o senhor do universo sem que o soubéssemos?' E cantaram todos juntos louvores aos interiores dos interiores; mas a mim não me viram, senão apenas a luz. E estavam em grande temor e grandemente perturbados, cantando louvores aos interiores dos interiores."

3"And all rulers and all authorities and all angels therein were thrown all together into agitation because of the great light which was on me. And they gazed at the radiant vesture of light with which I was clad, and they saw the mystery which contains their names, and they feared most exceedingly. And all their bonds with which they were bound, were unloosed and every one left his order, and they all fell down before me, adored and said: 'How hath the lord of the universe passed through us without our knowing?' And they all sang praises together to the interiors of the interiors; but me they saw not, but they saw only the light. And they were in great fear and were exceedingly agitated and sang praises to the interiors of the interiors."
