1And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.

2And they said one to another: ‘The earth, made †without inhabitant, cries the voice of their crying† up to the gates of heaven.
2ወይቤሉ፡ በበይናቲሆሙ፡ ቃለ፡ ጽራሐቲሆሙ፡ ዕራቃ፡ ጸርሐት፡ ምድር፡ እስከ፡ አንቀጸ፡ ሰማይ።
3〚And now to you, the holy ones of heaven〛, the souls of men make their suit, saying, “Bring our cause before the Most High”.’
3ወይእዜኒ፡ ኦ፡ ቅዱሳነ፡ ሰማይ፡ ለክሙ፡ ይሰክዩ፡ ነፍሳተ፡ ሰብእ፡ እንዘ፡ ይብሉ፡ አብኡ፡ ለነ፡ ፍትሐ፡ ኀበ፡ ልዑል።
4And they said to the Lord of the ages: ‘Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings ‹and God of the ages›, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages!
4ወይቤሉ፡ ለእግዚኦሙ፡ ለንጉሥ፡ እስመ፡ እግዚኦሙ፡ ለአጋእዝት፡ ወአምላኮሙ፡ ለአማልክት፡ ወንጉሦሙ፡ ለነገሥት፡ ወመንበረ፡ ስብሐቲሁ፡ ውስተ፡ ኵሉ፡ ትውልድ፡ ዘለዓለም፡ ወስምከ፡ ቅዱስ፡ ወስቡሕ፡ ውስተ፡ ኵሉ፡ ትውልድ፡ ዓለም፡ ወቡሩክ፡ ወስቡሕ።
5Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and all things Thou seest, and nothing can hide itself from Thee.
5አንተ፡ ወገበርከ፡ ኵሎ፡ ወሥልጣነ፡ ኵሉ፡ ምስሌከ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ክሡት፡ በቅድሜከ፡ ወግሁድ፡ ወአንተ፡ ትሬኢ፡ ኵሎ፡ ወአልቦ፡ ዘይትከሀል፡ ይትኀባእ፡ እምኔከ።
6Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:
6ርኢኬ፡ ዘገብረ፡ አዛዝኤል፡ ዘከመ፡ መሀረ፡ ኵሎ፡ ዐመፃ፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ወአግሀደ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ ዓለም፡ እለ፡ ይትገበራ፡ በሰማያት።
7And Semjâzâ, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates.
7ወአመረ፡ ስብዓታተ፡ ስማዝያ፡ ዘአንተ፡ ወሀብኮ፡ ሥልጣነ፡ ከመ፡ ይኰንን፡ እለ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ኅቡረ።
8And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins.
8ወሖሩ፡ ኀበ፡ አዋልደ፡ ሰብእ፡ ኅቡረ፡ ወሰከቡ፡ ምስሌሆን፡ ለእልኩ፡ አንስት፡ ወረኵሱ፡ ወአግሀዱ፡ ሎን፡ እሎንተ፡ ኃጣውአ።
9And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.
9ወአንስትኒ፡ ወለዳ፡ ረዓይተ፡ ወበዝ፡ መልአት፡ ኵላ፡ ምድር፡ ደመ፡ ወዐመፃ።
10And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth.
10ወይእዜኒ፡ ናሁ፡ ይጸርሑ፡ ነፍሳተ፡ እለ፡ ሞቱ፡ ወይሰክዩ፡ እስከ፡ አንቀጸ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወዐርገ፡ ገዐሮሙ፡ ወኢይክሉ፡ ወፂአ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ገጸ፡ ዐመፃ፡ ዘይትገበር፡ በዲበ፡ ምድር።
11And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.’
11ወአንተ፡ ተአምር፡ ኵሎ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ ይኩን፡ ወአንተ፡ ተአምር፡ ዘንተ፡ ወዘዚኣሆሙ፡ ወአልቦ፡ ዘትነግረነ፡ ወምንት፡ መፍትው፡ ንረስዮሙ፡ በእንተ፡ ዝንቱ።
