Jubilees, Chapter 2
The angel of the presence tells Moshe how God made twenty-two kinds of works in the six days of creation and kept Shabbat on the seventh, and how the Shabbat, kept by the highest angels in heaven, was given to Yisrael alone as a holy sign forever.
2:1And the angel of the presence spoke to Moshe (Moses) according to the word of Hashem, saying, “Write the complete history of the creation, how in six days Hashem God finished all His works and all that He created, and kept Shabbat on the seventh day and hallowed it for all ages, and appointed it as a sign for all His works.”
2:1Y el ángel de la presencia habló a Moshé (Moisés) conforme a la palabra de Hashem, diciendo: «Escribe la historia completa de la creación, cómo en seis días Hashem Elohim acabó todas sus obras y todo lo que creó, y guardó Shabat en el séptimo día y lo santificó para todas las edades, y lo puso por señal para todas sus obras».

2:2For on the first day He created the heavens which are above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits which serve before Him—the angels of the presence, and the angels of sanctification, and the angels of the spirit of fire, and the angels of the spirit of the winds, and the angels of the spirit of the clouds, and of darkness, and of snow and of hail and of hoar frost, and the angels of the voices and of the thunder and of the lightning, and the angels of the spirits of cold and of heat, and of winter and of spring and of autumn and of summer, and of all the spirits of His creatures which are in the heavens and on the earth. He created the abysses and the darkness, eventide and night, and the light, dawn and day, which He has prepared in the knowledge of His heart.
2:2Porque en el primer día creó los cielos que están arriba, y la tierra, y las aguas, y todos los espíritus que sirven delante de él: los ángeles de la presencia, y los ángeles de la santificación, y los ángeles del espíritu del fuego, y los ángeles del espíritu de los vientos, y los ángeles del espíritu de las nubes, y de las tinieblas, y de la nieve, y del granizo, y de la escarcha, y los ángeles de las voces, y del trueno, y del relámpago, y los ángeles de los espíritus del frío y del calor, y del invierno, y de la primavera, y del otoño, y del verano, y de todos los espíritus de sus criaturas que están en los cielos y en la tierra. Creó los abismos y las tinieblas, la tarde y la noche, y la luz, el alba y el día, los cuales ha preparado en el conocimiento de su corazón.

2:4And on the second day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters, and the waters were divided on that day—half of them went up above and half of them went down below the firmament that was in the midst over the face of the whole earth. And this was the only work God created on the second day.
2:4Y en el segundo día creó el firmamento en medio de las aguas, y las aguas fueron divididas en aquel día: la mitad de ellas subió arriba y la mitad de ellas descendió abajo del firmamento que estaba en medio, sobre la faz de toda la tierra. Y esta fue la única obra que Elohim creó en el segundo día.

2:8These four great works God created on the third day. And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon all the earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness.
2:8Estas cuatro grandes obras creó Elohim en el tercer día. Y en el cuarto día creó el sol, y la luna, y las estrellas, y los puso en el firmamento del cielo para alumbrar sobre toda la tierra, y para señorear en el día y en la noche, y para separar la luz de las tinieblas.

2:11These three kinds He made on the fourth day.

2:19Y nos dijo: «He aquí, apartaré para mí un pueblo de entre todos los pueblos, y estos guardarán el día de Shabat, y los santificaré para mí como mi pueblo, y los bendeciré; así como he santificado el día de Shabat y lo santifico para mí, así también los bendeciré, y ellos serán mi pueblo y yo seré su Elohim.

2:20Y he escogido la simiente de Yaakov (Jacob) de entre todo lo que he visto, y lo he inscrito como mi hijo primogénito, y lo he santificado para mí por los siglos de los siglos; y les enseñaré el día de Shabat, para que guarden Shabat en él de toda obra».

2:21And thus He created therein a sign in accordance with which they should keep Shabbat with us on the seventh day, to eat and to drink, and to bless Him who has created all things, as He has blessed and sanctified unto Himself a peculiar people above all peoples, and that they should keep Shabbat together with us.
2:21Y así creó en él una señal conforme a la cual ellos guardarían Shabat con nosotros en el séptimo día, para comer y beber, y para bendecir al que ha creado todas las cosas, así como él ha bendecido y santificado para sí un pueblo especial sobre todos los pueblos, y para que guardaran Shabat juntamente con nosotros.

2:23There were two and twenty heads of mankind from Adam to Yaakov, and two and twenty kinds of work were made until the seventh day; this is blessed and holy; and the former also is blessed and holy; and this one serves with that one for sanctification and blessing.
2:23Hubo veintidós cabezas de la humanidad desde Adam hasta Yaakov, y veintidós clases de obras fueron hechas hasta el séptimo día; este es bendito y santo, y el primero también es bendito y santo; y el uno sirve con el otro para santificación y bendición.

2:25He created heaven and earth and everything that He created in six days, and God made the seventh day holy, for all His works; therefore He commanded on its behalf that whoever does any work thereon shall die, and that he who defiles it shall surely die.
2:25Él creó el cielo y la tierra y todo lo que creó en seis días, y Elohim hizo santo el séptimo día por todas sus obras; por tanto mandó acerca de él que cualquiera que haga en él alguna obra morirá, y que el que lo profane de cierto morirá.

2:29Declare and say to the children of Yisrael the law of this day, both that they should keep Shabbat thereon, and that they should not forsake it in the error of their hearts; and that it is not lawful to do any work thereon which is unseemly, to do thereon their own pleasure, and that they should not prepare thereon anything to be eaten or drunk, and that it is not lawful to draw water, or bring in or take out thereon through their gates any burden, which they had not prepared for themselves on the sixth day in their dwellings.
2:29Declara y di a los hijos de Yisrael la ley de este día: que guarden Shabat en él, y que no lo abandonen en el error de su corazón; y que no es lícito hacer en él ninguna obra indebida, ni hacer en él su propia voluntad, y que no preparen en él nada para comer ni para beber, y que no es lícito sacar agua, ni meter ni sacar por sus puertas en él carga alguna que no hayan preparado para sí en el sexto día en sus moradas.

2:30And they shall not bring in nor take out from house to house on that day; for that day is more holy and blessed than any jubilee day of the jubilees; on this we kept Shabbat in the heavens before it was made known to any flesh to keep Shabbat thereon on the earth.
2:30Y no meterán ni sacarán nada de casa en casa en aquel día; porque aquel día es más santo y bendito que cualquier día de jubileo de los jubileos; en él guardamos Shabat en los cielos antes que se diera a conocer a carne alguna que guardara Shabat en él sobre la tierra.

Sources & method
- English translation
- R. H. Charles, The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament (Oxford, 1913), public domain, lightly modernized by Benei Avraham in the same way as our Bible pages: “thee/thou” become “you,” older verb forms are updated, people and places carry their Hebrew names with the familiar English name in parentheses the first time on each page, and “the Lord” (God) is written “Hashem.” Charles’s editorial dates are given in the notes. Digital text from the CrossWire Bible Society’s SWORD module (public domain).
- Spanish translation
- Translated by Benei Avraham from the English column, in the style of our Reina-Valera pages: Hashem for the Divine Name, Elohim for God, and Hebrew names. There is no public-domain Spanish translation of this book. Choose a translation with the Language drop-down; the choice is remembered on this device.
- Ge’ez text
- Ge’ez (classical Ethiopic) is the language of the Ethiopian Bible and the only language in which the whole book has survived; it was translated from Greek, which was translated from the lost Hebrew original. The text is August Dillmann’s edition (19th century, public domain) as published in the EOTCOpenSource Bible dataset. Verse numbers follow Charles; where Dillmann’s numbering joins two verses, the later verse says so.
