1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1And thence I went to another place, and he showed me in the west ⌜another⌝ great and high mountain [and] of hard rock.
1ወእምህየ፡ ሖርኩ፡ ካልአ፡ መካነ፡ ወአርአየኒ፡ በምዕራብ፡ ደብረ፡ ዐቢየ፡ ወነዋኀ፡ ወኰኵሐ፡ ጽኑዐ።
2And there was in it †four† hollow places, deep and wide and very smooth. †How† smooth are the hollow places and deep and dark to look at.
2ወአርባዕቱ፡ መካናት፡ ሠናያት፡ ወበውስቴቱ፡ ዕሙቅ፡ ወርሒብ፡ ወልሙጽ፡ ጥቀ፡ ከመ፡ ልሙጽ፡ ዘያንኰረኵር፡ ወዕሙቅ፡ ወጽልመት፡ ለነጽሮ።
3Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: ‘These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here.
3ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ አውሥአኒ፡ ሩፋኤል፡ አሐዱ፡ እመላእክት፡ ቅዱሳን፡ ዘሀለወ፡ ምስሌየ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ እላ፡ መካናት፡ ሠናያት፡ ከመ፡ ይትጋብኡ፡ ዲቤሆን፡ መናፍስቲሆሙ፡ ለምዉታን፡ ሎሙ፡ እሎንቱ፡ ተፈጥሩ፡ ወዝየ፡ ያስተጋብኡ፡ ነፍሳተ፡ ውሉደ፡ ሰብእ።
4And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period [till the period appointed], till the great judgement (comes) upon them.’
4ወእላንቱ፡ መካናት፡ ኀበ፡ ያነብርዎሙ፡ ገብሩ፡ እስከ፡ ዕለተ፡ ኵነኔሆሙ፡ ወእስከ፡ አመ፡ ዕድሜሆሙ፡ ወዕድሜ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ውእቱ፡ እስከ፡ አመ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ዐቢይ፡ በላዕሌሆሙ።
5I saw the spirits of the children of men who were dead, and their voice went forth to heaven and made suit.
5ወርኢኩ፡ መናፍስተ፡ ውሉደ፡ ሰብእ፡ እንዘ፡ ምዉታን፡ ውእቶሙ፡ ወቃሎሙ፡ ይበጽሕ፡ እስከ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወይሰኪ።
6Then I asked Raphael the angel who was with me, and I said unto him: ‘This spirit—whose is it whose voice goeth forth and maketh suit?’
6ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ ተስእልክዎ፡ ለሩፋኤል፡ መልአክ፡ ዘሀሎ፡ ምስሌየ፡ ወእቤሎ፡ ዝ፡ መንፈስ፡ ዘመኑ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዘከመ፡ ዝ፡ ቃሉ፡ ይበጽሕ፡ እስከ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወይሰኪ።
7And he answered me saying: ‘This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men.’
7ወአውሥአኒ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ እንዘ፡ ይብል፡ ዝንቱ፡ መንፈስ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዘይወፅእ፡ እምአቤል፡ ዘቀተሎ፡ ቃኤል፡ እኁሁ፡ ወይሰኪ፡ ኪያሁ፡ እስከ፡ አመ፡ ይትሀጐሉ፡ ዘርዑ፡ እምገጸ፡ ምድር፡ ወእምዘርዐ፡ ሰብእ፡ ይማስን፡ ዘርዑ።
8Then I asked regarding it, and regarding all the hollow places: ‘Why is one separated from the other?’
8ወውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ ተስእልክዎ፡ በእንቲኣሁ፡ ወበእንተ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ኵሉ፡ ወእቤ፡ በእንተ፡ ምንት፡ ተፈልጠ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምነ፡ አሐዱ።
9And he answered me and said unto me: ‘These three have been made that the spirits of the dead might be separated. And such a division has been made ‹for› the spirits of the righteous, in which there is the bright spring of water.
9ወአውሥአኒ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ እሎንቱ፡ ሠለስቱ፡ ተገብሩ፡ ከመ፡ ይፍልጡ፡ መንፈሶሙ፡ ለምዉታን፡ ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ተፈልጡ፡ ነፍሶሙ፡ ለጻድቃን፡ ዝ፡ ውእቱ፡ ነቅዐ፡ ማይ፡ ዘበላዕሌሁ፡ ብርሃን።
10And such has been made for sinners when they die and are buried in the earth and judgement has not been executed on them in their lifetime.
10በከመ፡ ከማሁ፡ ተፈጥረ፡ ለኃጥኣን፡ ሶበ፡ ይመውቱ፡ ወይትቀበሩ፡ ውስተ፡ ምድር፡ ወኵነኔ፡ ኢኮነ፡ በላዕሌሆሙ፡ በሕይወቶሙ።
11Here their spirits shall be set apart in this great pain till the great day of judgement and punishment and torment of those who †curse† for ever, and retribution for their spirits. There He shall bind them for ever.
11ወበዝየ፡ ይትፈለጣ፡ ነፍሳቲሆሙ፡ ዲበ፡ ዛቲ፡ ዐባይ፡ ጻዕር፡ እስከ፡ አመ፡ ዐባይ፡ ዕለት፡ እንተ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ወመቅሠፍት፡ ወጻዕር፡ ለእለ፡ ይረግሙ፡ እስከ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወበቀል፡ ለነፍሶሙ፡ ወበህየ፡ የአስሮሙ፡ እስከ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወእመኒ፡ ውእቱ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ዓለም።
12And such a division has been made for the spirits of those who make their suit, who make disclosures concerning their destruction, when they were slain in the days of the sinners.
12ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ተፈልጠ፡ ለነፍሶሙ፡ ለእለ፡ ይሰክዩ፡ እለ፡ ያርእዩ፡ በእንተ፡ ህጕለት፡ አመ፡ ተቀትሉ፡ በመዋዕለ፡ ኃጥኣን።
13Such has been made for the spirits of men who were not righteous but sinners, who were complete in transgression, and of the transgressors they shall be companions: but their spirits shall not be slain in the day of judgement nor shall they be raised from thence.’
13ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ተፈጥሩ፡ ለነፍሶሙ፡ ለሰብእ፡ እኩያን፡ እለ፡ ኢኮኑ፡ ጻድቃነ፡ አላ፡ ኃጥኣነ፡ እለ፡ ፍጹማነ፡ አበሳ፡ ወምስለ፡ አባስያን፡ ይከውኑ፡ ከማሆሙ፡ ወነፍሶሙሰ፡ ኢትትቀተል፡ በዕለተ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ወኢይትነሥኡ፡ እም፡ ዝየ።
14Then I blessed the Lord of glory and said: ‘Blessed be my Lord, the Lord of righteousness who ruleth for ever.’
14ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ ባረክዎ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ ስብሐት፡ ወእቤ፡ ቡሩክ፡ ውእቱ፡ እግዚእየ፡ እግዚአ፡ ስብሐት፡ ወጻድቅ፡ ዘኵሎ፡ ይመልክ፡ እስከ፡ ለዓለም።
