1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1And in those days Noah saw the earth that it had sunk down and its destruction was nigh.

2And he arose from thence and went to the ends of the earth, and cried aloud to his grandfather Enoch: and Noah said three times with an embittered voice: ‘Hear me, hear me, hear me.’
2ወአንሥአ፡ እገሪሁ፡ እምህየ፡ ወሖረ፡ እስከ፡ አጽናፈ፡ ምድር፡ ወጸርሐ፡ ለእምኄዉ፡ ሄኖክ፡ ወይቤ፡ ኖኅ፡ በቃል፡ መሪር፡ ስምዐኒ፡ ስምዐኒ፡ ስምዐኒ፡ ሥልሰ።
3And I said unto him: ‘Tell me what it is that is falling out on the earth that the earth is in such evil plight and shaken, lest perchance I shall perish with it.’
3ወይቤሎ፡ ንግረኒ፡ ምንት፡ ውእቱ፡ ዘይትገበር፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር፡ እስመ፡ ከመ፡ ዝ፡ ሠርሐት፡ ምድር፡ ወአንቀልቀለት፡ ዮጊ፡ አነ፡ እትሀጐል፡ ምስሌሃ።
4And thereupon there was a great commotion on the earth, and a voice was heard from heaven, and I fell on my face.

5And Enoch my grandfather came and stood by me, and said unto me: ‘Why hast thou cried unto me with a bitter cry and weeping?
5ወመጽአ፡ ሄኖክ፡ እምኄውየ፡ ወቆመ፡ ኀቤየ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ ለምንት፡ ጸራሕከ፡ ኀቤየ፡ ጽራሐ፡ መሪረ፡ ወብካየ።
6And a command has gone forth from the presence of the Lord concerning those who dwell on the earth that their ruin is accomplished because they have learnt all the secrets of the angels, and all the violence of the Satans, and all their powers—the most secret ones—and all the power of those who practise sorcery, and the power of witchcraft, and the power of those who make molten images for the whole earth:
6ወትእዛዝ፡ ወፅአ፡ እምኀበ፡ ገጹ፡ ለእግዚእ፡ መናፍስት፡ ዲበ፡ እለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ውስተ፡ የብስ፡ ከመ፡ ውእቱ፡ ይኩን፡ ኅልቀቶሙ፡ እስመ፡ አእመሩ፡ ኵሎ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ መላእክት፡ ወኵሎ፡ ግፍዐ፡ ሰይጣናት፡ ወኵሎ፡ ኀይሎሙ፡ ኅቡአ፡ ለእለ፡ ይገብሩ፡ ሥራያተ፡ ወኀይሎሙ፡ ለኅብራት፡ ወኀይሎሙ፡ ለእለ፡ ይሰብኩ፡ ስብኮ፡ ኵሉ፡ ምድር።
7And how silver is produced from the dust of the earth, and how soft metal originates in the earth.
7ወእስኩ፡ እፎ፡ ይትወለድ፡ ብሩር፡ እምጸበለ፡ ምድር፡ ወእፎ፡ ይከውን፡ ነጠብጣብ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር።
8For lead and tin are not produced from the earth like the first: it is a fountain that produces them, and an angel stands therein, and that angel is pre-eminent.’
8እስመ፡ ዓረር፡ ወናእክ፡ ኢይትወለድ፡ እምድር፡ ከመ፡ ቀዳሚ፡ ነቅዕ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዘይወልዶሙ፡ ወመልአክ፡ ዘይቀውም፡ ውስቴታ፡ ወይበድር፡ ውእቱ፡ መልአክ።
9And after that my grandfather Enoch took hold of me by my hand and raised me up, and said unto me: ‘Go, for I have asked the Lord of Spirits as touching this commotion on the earth.
9ወእምድኅረ፡ ዝ፡ አኀዘኒ፡ እምኄውየ፡ ሄኖክ፡ በእዴሁ፡ ወአንሥአኒ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ ሑር፡ እስመ፡ ተስእልክዎ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ በእንተ፡ ዝ፡ ሀውክ፡ ዘዲበ፡ ምድር።
10And He said unto me: “Because of their unrighteousness their judgement has been determined upon and shall not be withheld by Me for ever. Because of the sorceries which they have searched out and learnt, the earth and those who dwell upon it shall be destroyed.”
10ወይቤለኒ፡ በእንተ፡ ዐመፃሆሙ፡ ተፈጸመት፡ ኵነኔሆሙ፡ ወኢይትኌለቍ፡ በቅድሜየ፡ በእንተ፡ አውራኅ፡ ዘኀሠሡ፡ ወአእመሩ፡ ከመ፡ ምድር፡ ትትሀጐል፡ ወእለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ዲቤሃ።
11And these—they have no place of repentance for ever, because they have shown them what was hidden, and they are the damned: but as for thee, my son, the Lord of Spirits knows that thou art pure, and guiltless of this reproach concerning the secrets.
11ወለእሉ፡ ምግባእ፡ አልቦሙ፡ ለዓለም፡ እስመ፡ አርአይዎሙ፡ ዘኅቡእ፡ ወእለ፡ ተኰነኑ፡ ወአኮ፡ ለከ፡ አንተ፡ ወልድየ፡ አእመረ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ እስመ፡ ንጹሕ፡ ወኄር፡ አንተ፡ እም፡ ዝ፡ ኂስ፡ ዘኅቡእ።
12And He has destined thy name to be among the holy, And will preserve thee amongst those who dwell on the earth, And has destined thy righteous seed both for kingship and for great honours, And from thy seed shall proceed a fountain of the righteous and holy without number for ever.’
