English translation provided by ChatGPT Once upon a time, there was and there was not in the land of the Armenians a woman whose husband did not want to work. And in the time of sowing, while the other men were walking in the fields to farm, he alone stayed in the house. The woman wept and urged him to go to the fields and work like the others. But the man said everything—that he was not strong, that he was sick, that some thief had taken the tools, that leisure was the best—so as not to go out to the fields. But one day, seeing the woman weeping and saying that they would have neither fruit nor gold, the man took pity. And taking seeds in his hands, he went to the fields. But not wanting to work and plant the seeds in the ground, the man raised his hands so that the wind would take the seeds. And he thought thus: "Working pains me. And if there is fruit from the seeds that the wind takes, it will be a great toil for me to gather the fruit and bring it to the house." And so he feared the toil so much that he fell to the ground as if dying. And his friends, thinking him to be dead, carried him to the church. And they were about to bury him the next day. But the woman did not think he was dead. And that night she entered the church and said this word in a loud voice: "O mortals, do you hear me? I am an angel of God. I stop the sleep of death, I hide nothing. This is the word of God, the lord of both the earth and the heavens, which I say to all the dead: now you are in the heavens. And it is necessary for all in the heavens to work just as on the earth. In the first year, God commands you to clear the clouds of the heavens so that everything becomes clear." Hearing this, the man was not happy, not happy at all. But he stood up and went down to the house. The woman, having descended more quickly—she had traveled a shorter road—was already in the house. Seeing the man entering, she said, "O friend, we thought you were dead." "Yes," replied the man, "I thought so too. But when I learned that not only the living but also the dead must work, it seemed better to me to descend and work on the earth."
