1 The prophecy of Bebras, who is the son of Yadnus, given to the people of Nedrag, as revealed to him in a vision.

2 Oh, weep, ye unjust and ye wrongdoers! Ye wrong ones and ye maledictators, weep! 3 Harken, there is a great future yet to be beheld, and lo, and it not favourable unto thee.

4 Here is what will take place. There shall be a great king among thy people, whose name will be called Atnas. Atnas will be a shrewd man, and he will be good for thy people. 5 Even so will he increase your wealth, in such a way as it will be perceived that oil and wine will overflow into thy streets, and all them that pass by thy burgh will marvel, and they will say: 6 consider this city, and how rich the people are, for they have corn bursting from their walls, and their silos overfloweth with the olives of luxury. 7 Lo, a sweet fragrance is within their walls. 8 At the cause of this, they must be happy of mind, and of their riches must they array themselves in purple of Tyre.

9 But when a poor man doth travel to thy gates, and bid they help him, for he hath little for which to live, and he is pitiful of soul, they shall rebuke him and say that he is foolish, for he is not bred in thy city. 10 Even so will he be smote upon his arms, and sent away into the wilderness, wherein he shall surely perish.

11 It shall come to pass that a certain Enoals, who at this time will be King of the Retepites and brethren of Atnas, shall come to thy city saying: 12 O Illustrious Atnas, we have defeated Elra (for they had pumelled our fortifications, and cut us off from the trades of food), 13 but our silos run short of scrip, wilt thou assist our people? 14 And at this shall Atnas scoff, and he, spitting and hissing, will send Enoals to the donjons of the citadel, 15 where he will be kept until it be duly proved that Gerog (which is called the city of Enoals) is besieged again by Elra, and their walls rent in sunder and their people slain in scores, 16 at which point shall Enoals be notified of the same, and swiftly put to the sword, sparing him no mercy. 17 And this all shall be done at the command of Atnas, and will all happen at a time before he is to die.

1 After such events as these have come to pass, then shall arise Tisop, who is called the Scornful one, 2 and he will rule with a sceptre of sorrow. 3 Thus shall the age of mourning commence, and the time of weeping shall begin. 4 Even so will the era of grief have reign upon the people, and It shall be so even unto the reign of Sanef, who is called the Hateful one, and the son of Tisop. 5 At which point shall many peoples of the land be humbled greatly, 6 and they shall walk through their streets and see the tall barns and the lofty silos, 7 and they will ask of each other: why hath the King taken such things as these to himself, and why hath he not partaged it among us, instead favouring to share it amongst his court, and his princes, and his dukes, 8 when we live in our houses where there is not food to feed us nor money to buy as much? 9 And lo, this shall be in preparation for their extolling, which shall come to pass at a time such as shall be seen fit.

10 For behold: Sanef the Hateful will not be king of thy people for long, and ye shall bear witness that it shall be seen to by a descendant of the house Enoals that he should be deposed, 11 and his dukes be found shamefast, and his princes be chastened. 12 Let it also be known, therefore, that such as shall receive this due punishment walk already thy streets, O terrible Nedrag!

13 Who of you who walk the streets of Nedrag, and who will eat and olives of luxury under the rule of Atnas, 14 and who will drink the wine of iniquity in the times of Tisop and of Sanef, know yet that ye shall receive shame from those who remained good under the times of grief, and of mourning, and of sorrow and weeping? 15 Yea, how can thee? Harken, ye shall not know as much until it cometh to pass.

16 So, until then, be good of soul, and resist the comforts of luxury. 17 And indeed, ye shall not be put to humiliation at the time of extolling. So it shall be.
