1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1And he said unto me: ‘Enoch, why dost thou ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, and ⌜why⌝ dost thou wish to learn the truth?’
1ወይቤለኒ፡ ሄኖክ፡ ምንተ፡ ትሴአል፡ በእንተ፡ መዐዛሁ፡ ለዝ፡ ዕፅ፡ ወትጤይቅ፡ ከመ፡ ታእምር።
2Then I answered him, 〚saying〛: ‘I wish to know about everything, but especially about this tree.’
2ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ አውሣእክዎ፡ አነ፡ ሄኖክ፡ እንዘ፡ እብል፡ በእንተ፡ ኵሉ፡ እፈቅድ፡ ኣእምር፡ ወፈድፋደሰ፡ በእንተ፡ ዝ፡ ዕፅ።
3And he answered, saying: ‘This high mountain 〚which thou hast seen〛, whose summit is like the throne of God, is His throne, where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King will sit, when He shall come down to visit the earth with goodness.
3ወአውሥአኒ፡ እንዘ፡ ይብል፡ ዝንቱ፡ ደብር፡ ዘርኢከ፡ ነዋኅ፡ ዘርእሱ፡ ይመስል፡ መንበሮ፡ ለእግዚእ፡ መንበሩ፡ ውእቱ፡ ኀበ፡ ይነብር፡ ቅዱስ፡ ወዐቢይ፡ እግዚአ፡ ስብሐት፡ ንጉሥ፡ ዘለዓለም፡ ሶበ፡ ይወርድ፡ የሐውጻ፡ ለምድር፡ በሠናይ።
4And as for this fragrant tree no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgement, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring (everything) to its consummation for ever. It shall then be given to the righteous and holy.
4ወዝንቱኒ፡ ዕፀ፡ መዐዛ፡ ሠናይ፡ ወኢ፡ አሐዱ፡ ዘሥጋ፡ አልቦ፡ ሥልጣን፡ ከመ፡ ይግስሶ፡ እስከ፡ አመ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ኵነኔ፡ አመ፡ ይትቤቀል፡ ኵሎ፡ ወይትፌጸም፡ እስከ፡ ለዓለም፡ ዝኩ፡ ለጻድቃን፡ ወለትሑታን፡ ይትወሀብ።
5Its fruit shall be for food to the elect: it shall be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal King.
5እምፍሬ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ወይትወሀብ፡ ለኅሩያነ፡ ሕይወት፡ መንገለ፡ መስዕ፡ ይተከል፡ ውስተ፡ መካን፡ ቅዱስ፡ መንገለ፡ ቤቱ፡ ለእግዚእ፡ ንጉሥ፡ ዘለዓለም።
6Then shall they rejoice with joy and be glad. And into the holy place shall they enter; And its fragrance shall be in their bones, And they shall live a long life on earth, Such as thy fathers lived: And in their days shall no 〚sorrow or〛 plague Or torment or calamity touch them.’
6ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ ይትፌሥሑ፡ በፍሥሓ፡ ወይትሐሠዩ፡ ውስተ፡ ቅዱስ፡ ያበውኡ፡ ሎቱ፡ መዐዛ፡ በበ፡ አዕፅምቲሆሙ፡ ወሕይወተ፡ ብዙኀ፡ የሐይዉ፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር፡ በከመ፡ ሐይዉ፡ አበዊከ፡ ወበመዋዕሊሆሙ፡ ሐዘን፡ ወሕማም፡ ወጻማ፡ ወመቅሠፍት፡ ኢይገስሶሙ።
7Then blessed I the God of Glory, the Eternal King, who hath prepared such things for the righteous, and hath created them and promised to give to them.
7ውእተ፡ ጊዜ፡ ባረክዎ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ ስብሐት፡ ንጉሥ፡ ዘለዓለም፡ እስመ፡ አስተዳለወ፡ ከመ፡ ዝ፡ ለሰብእ፡ ጻድቃን፡ ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ፈጠረ፡ ወይቤ፡ የሀብዎሙ።
