Nuhra2021 Ode 36

Ode 36 I Was Great Among the Great Ones 1 The spirit of the Lord rested upon me, and she raised me on high 2 and made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before his fullness and his glory. While I was praising him by the composition of his odes, 3 she gave birth to me before the face of the Lord, even while being the bar nasha . I was named the enlightened son of God 4 while I was glorious among the glorious ones, and great among the great ones. 5 For like the greatness of the Most High, so she made me, and according to his renewing he renewed me. 6 And he anointed me from his fullness, and I became one of those near to him. 7 And my mouth was opened like a cloud of dew, and my heart gushed out a flood of righteousness. 8 And a peace offering was mine, and I was established in the spirit of governance. Hallelujah!

The Odes of Solomon — The Nuhra Version (2021)

Unverified edition

Reading language: eng · Original language (catalog): Ancient source language(s)

Recorded completeness: Complete authors’ supplied Nuhra2021 English edition, including translations from Syriac, Coptic and Greek, parallel source versions, dedication and editorial sigla. Its Ode2 is explicitly labelled by the authors as a hypothetical reconstruction from Greek Ode11; this label is preserved in the Ode2 body and not treated as surviving original source text. All missing-text brackets, conjectural-emendation markers and explanatory glosses are preserved without alteration. This is a modern independently public-domain-dedicated translation, not a historical printing or original-language witness.. Available reading sections are listed below.
