1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
1And after this law I saw another law dealing with the smaller luminary, which is named the Moon.
1ወድኅሬሁ፡ ለዝ፡ ትእዛዝ፡ ርኢኩ፡ ካልአ፡ ትእዛዘ፡ ለብርሃን፡ ንኡስ፡ ዘስሙ፡ ወርኅ።
2And her circumference is like the circumference of the heaven, and her chariot in which she rides is driven by the wind, and light is given to her in (definite) measure.
2ወክበቡ፡ ከመ፡ ክበበ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወሠረገላ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ በኀበ፡ ይጼዐን፡ ነፋሰ፡ ይነፍኅ፡ ወበመስፈርት፡ ይትወሀብ፡ ሎቱ፡ ብርሃን።
3And her rising and setting changes every month: and her days are like the days of the sun, and when her light is uniform (i. e. full) it amounts to the seventh part of the light of the sun.
3ወበኵሉ፡ ወርኅ፡ ሙፃኢሁ፡ ወሙባኢሁ፡ ይትዌለጥ፡ ወመዋዕሊሁ፡ ከመ፡ መዋዕለ፡ ፀሓይ፡ ወሶበ፡ ይዔሪ፡ ከዊነ፡ ብርሃኑ፡ ይከውን፡ ብርሃኑ፡ ሳብዐየ፡ እደ፡ እምብርሃነ፡ ፀሓይ።
4And thus she rises. And her first phase in the east comes forth on the thirtieth morning: and on that day she becomes visible, and constitutes for you the first phase of the moon on the thirtieth day together with the sun in the portal where the sun rises.
4ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ይሠርቅ፡ ወርእሱ፡ ዘመንገለ፡ ጽባሕ፡ ይወፅእ፡ ሠላሳ፡ በሠላሳ፡ ጽባሕ፡ ወበይእቲ፡ ዕለት፡ ያስተርኢ፡ ወይከውን፡ ለክሙ፡ ርእሰ፡ ወርኅ፡ ሠላሳ፡ ጽባሐ፡ ምስለ፡ ፀሓይ፡ በኆኅት፡ እንተ፡ ይወፅእ፡ ፀሓይ።
5And the one half of her goes forth by a seventh part, and her whole circumference is empty, without light, with the exception of one-seventh part of it, (and) the fourteenth part of her light.
5ወመንፈቁ፡ ርሑቅ፡ ሰብዐቱ፡ እድ፡ አሐዱ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ክበበ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ በክ፡ ዘአልቦቱ፡ ብርሃነ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ ሳብዒት፡ እደ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ እምዐሠርቱ፡ ወአርባዕቱ፡ እደ፡ ብርሃኑ።
6And when she receives one-seventh part of the half of her light, her light amounts to one-seventh part and the half thereof.
6ወበዕለተ፡ ይነሥእ፡ ሳብዐየ፡ እደ፡ መንፈቀ፡ ብርሃኑ፡ ይከውን፡ ሰብዐቱ፡ ሰብዐተ፡ እድ፡ አሐቲ፡ ወመንፈቃ።
7And she sets with the sun, and when the sun rises the moon rises with him and receives the half of one part of light, and in that night in the beginning of her morning [in the commencement of the lunar day] the moon sets with the sun, and is invisible that night with the fourteen parts and the half of one of them.
7የዐርብ፡ ምስለ፡ ፀሓይ፡ ወሶበ፡ ይሠርቅ፡ ፀሓይ፡ ይሠርቅ፡ ወርኅ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ወይነሥእ፡ መንፈቀ፡ እደ፡ ብርሃን፡ ወበይእቲ፡ ሌሊት፡ በርእሰ፡ ጽባሐ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ በቅድመ፡ ዕለቱ፡ ለወርኅ፡ የዐርብ፡ ወርኅ፡ ምስለ፡ ፀሓይ፡ ወይጸልም፡ በይእቲ፡ ሌሊት፡ ሰብዐቱ፡ ወስድስቱ፡ እድ፡ ወንፍቃ።
8And she rises on that day with exactly a seventh part, and comes forth and recedes from the rising of the sun, and in her remaining days she becomes bright in the (remaining) thirteen parts.
8ወይሠርቅ፡ በይእቲ፡ ዕለት፡ ሳብዐየ፡ እደ፡ ጥንቁቀ፡ ወይወፅእ፡ ወይጸንን፡ እምሥራቀ፡ ፀሓይ፡ ወያበርህ፡ በተረፈ፡ ዕለቱ፡ ሰብዐተ፡ ወሰብዐተ፡ እደ።
