1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1Before these things Enoch was hidden, and no one of the children of men knew where he was hidden, and where he abode, and what had become of him.
1እምቅድመ፡ ኵሉ፡ ነገር፡ ተከብተ፡ ሄኖክ፡ ወአልቦ፡ ዘየአምር፡ እምውሉደ፡ ሰብእ፡ በኀበ፡ ተከብተ፡ ወኀበ፡ ሀሎ፡ ወምንተ፡ ኮነ።
2And his activities had to do with the Watchers, and his days were with the holy ones.
2ወኵሉ፡ ግብሩ፡ ምስለ፡ ቅዱሳን፡ ወምስለ፡ ትጉሃን፡ በመዋዕለ፡ ዚኣሁ።
3And I, Enoch, was blessing the Lord of majesty and the King of the ages, and lo! the Watchers called me—Enoch the scribe—and said to me:
3ወአነ፡ ሄኖክ፡ ኮንኩ፡ እባርኮ፡ ለእግዚእ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ወለንጉሠ፡ ዓለም፡ ወናሁ፡ ትጉሃን፡ ይጼውዑኒ፡ ሊተ፡ ለሄኖክ፡ ጸሓፊ፡ ወይቤሉኒ።
4‘Enoch, thou scribe of righteousness, go, †declare† to the Watchers of the heaven who have left the high heaven, the holy eternal place, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives: “Ye have wrought great destruction on the earth:
4ሄኖክ፡ ጸሓፌ፡ ጽድቅ፡ ሑር፡ አይድዕ፡ ለትጉሃነ፡ ሰማይ፡ እለ፡ ኀደጉ፡ ሰማየ፡ ልዑለ፡ ወምቅዋመ፡ ቅዱሰ፡ ዘለዓለም፡ ወምስለ፡ አንስት፡ ማሰኑ፡ ወገብሩ፡ ዘከመ፡ ይገብሩ፡ ውሉደ፡ ሰብእ፡ ወነሥኡ፡ ሎሙ፡ አንስተ፡ ወማሰኑ፡ ዐቢየ፡ ሙስና፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር።
5And ye shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin: and inasmuch as †they† delight themselves in †their† children,
5ወኢይከውን፡ ሎሙ፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ሰላም፡ ወኅድገተ፡ ኀጢአት።
6The murder of †their† beloved ones shall †they† see, and over the destruction of †their† children shall †they† lament, and shall make supplication unto eternity, but mercy and peace shall ye not attain.”’
