1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1〚And from thence I went to another place of the earth〛, and he showed me a mountain range of fire which burnt 〚day and〛 night.
1ወእምህየ፡ ሖርኩ፡ ካልአ፡ መካነ፡ ምድር፡ ወአርአየኒ፡ ደብረ፡ እሳት፡ ዘያንበለብል፡ መዓልተ፡ ወሌሊተ።
2And I went beyond it and saw seven magnificent mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair exterior: 〚three towards〛 the east, 〚one〛 founded on the other, and three towards the south, 〚one〛 upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which joined with any other.
2ወሖርኩ፡ መንገሌሁ፡ ወርኢኩ፡ ሰብዓተ፡ አድባረ፡ ክቡራነ፡ ወኵሉ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምነ፡ አሐዱ፡ እንዘ፡ ይትዌለጥ፡ ወአእባነ፡ ክቡራነ፡ ወሠናያነ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ክቡር፡ ወስቡሕ፡ ራእዮሙ፡ ወሠናይ፡ ገጾሙ፡ ሠለስቱ፡ መንገለ፡ ጽባሕ፡ ወጽኑዓን፡ አሐዱ፡ ዲበ፡ አሐዱ፡ ወሠለስቱ፡ መንገለ፡ ሰሜን፡ አሐዱ፡ ዲበ፡ አሐዱ፡ ጽኑዓን፡ ወቈላት፡ ዕሙቃት፡ ወጠዋያት፡ አሐቲ፡ ለአሐቲ፡ ኢይትቃረባ።
3And the seventh mountain was in the midst of these, and it excelled them in height, resembling the seat of a throne: and fragrant trees encircled the throne.
3ወሳብዕ፡ ደብር፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ ለእሎንቱ፡ ወኑኆሙሰ፡ ይትማሰሉ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ ከመ፡ መንበረ፡ አትራኖስ፡ ወየዐውድዎ፡ ዕፀወ፡ መዐዛ።
4And amongst them was a tree such as I had never yet smelt, neither was any amongst them nor were others like it: it had a fragrance beyond all fragrance, and its leaves and blooms and wood wither not for ever: and its fruit 〚is beautiful, and its fruit〛 resembles the dates of a palm.
4ወሀሎ፡ ውስቴቶሙ፡ ዕፅ፡ አልቦ፡ ግሙራ፡ አመ፡ ጼነወኒ፡ ወኢ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምውስቴቶሙ፡ ወባዕዳንሂ፡ ዘከማሁ፡ ኢኮነ፡ ዘይምዕዝ፡ እምኵሉ፡ መዐዛ፡ ወቈጽሉሂ፡ ወጽጌሁ፡ ወዕፁ፡ ኢይጸመሒ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወፍሬሁኒ፡ ሠናይ፡ ወፍሬሁሰ፡ ከመ፡ አስካለ፡ በቀልት።
5Then I said: ‘⌜How⌝ beautiful is this tree, and fragrant, and its leaves are fair, and its blooms 〚very〛 delightful in appearance.’
5ወውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ እቤ፡ ነዋ፡ ዝንቱ፡ ሠናይ፡ ዕፅ፡ ወሠናይ፡ ለርእይ፡ ወአዳም፡ ቈጽሉ፡ ወፍሬሁኒ፡ ሞገስ፡ ጥቀ፡ ለርእየ፡ ገጽ።
6Then answered Michael, one of the holy 〚and honoured〛 angels who was with me, and was their leader,
6ወውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ አውሥአኒ፡ ሚካኤል፡ አሐዱ፡ እመላእክት፡ ቅዱሳን፡ ወክቡራን፡ ዘምስሌየ፡ ሀሎ፡ ወውእቱ፡ ዘዲቤሆሙ።
