1 Enoch (Ethiopic Book of Enoch)
The Book of Enoch (R. H. Charles, 1917)
1ወርኢኩ፡ እምድኅረዝ፡ አእላፈ፡ አእላፋት፡ ወትእልፊተ፡ አእላፋት፡ ወአልቦሙ፡ ኍልቊ፡ ወሐሳብ፡ ለእለ፡ ይቀውሙ፡ ቅድመ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
1And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, I saw a multitude beyond number and reckoning, who stood before the Lord of Spirits.
2ወርኢኩ፡ ወበአርባዕቱ፡ ክነፊሁ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ አርባዕተ፡ ገጻት፡ ካልኣተ፡ እምእለ፡ ይቀውሙ፡ ወአስማቲሆሙ፡ አእመርኩ፡ ዘአይድዐኒ፡ መልአክ፡ ዘመጽአ፡ ምስሌየ፡ ወኵሎ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ አርአየኒ።
2And on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits I saw four presences, different from those that sleep not, and I learnt their names: for the angel who went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden things.
3ወሰማዕኩ፡ ቃሎሙ፡ ለእልክቱ፡ ገጽ፡ አርባዕቱ፡ ገጽ፡ እንዘ፡ ይሴብሑ፡ ቅድመ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
3And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before the Lord of glory.
4ወቃል፡ ቀዳማዊ፡ ይባርኮ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ ለዓለመ፡ ዓለም።
4The first voice blesses the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.
5ወቃለ፡ ካልአ፡ ሰማዕኩ፡ እንዘ፡ ይባርኮ፡ ለኅሩይ፡ ወለኅሩያን፡ እለ፡ ስቁላን፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
5And the second voice I heard blessing the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon the Lord of Spirits.
6ወሣልሰ፡ ቃለ፡ ሰማዕኩ፡ እንዘ፡ ይስእሉ፡ ወይጼልዩ፡ በእንተ፡ እለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ውስተ፡ የብስ፡ ወያስተበቍዑ፡ በስሙ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
6And the third voice I heard pray and intercede for those who dwell on the earth and supplicate in the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7ወቃለ፡ ራብዐየ፡ ሰማዕኩ፡ እንዘ፡ ይሰድዶሙ፡ ለሰይጣናት፡ ወኢየኀድጎሙ፡ ይባኡ፡ ኀበ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ ከመ፡ ያስተዋድይዎሙ፡ ለእለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ዲበ፡ የብስ።
7And I heard the fourth voice fending off the Satans and forbidding them to come before the Lord of Spirits to accuse them who dwell on the earth.
8ወእምድኅረ፡ ዝ፡ ተስእልክዎ፡ ለመልአከ፡ ሰላም፡ ዘየሐውር፡ ምስሌየ፡ ዘውእቱ፡ አርአየኒ፡ ኵሎ፡ ዘኅቡእ፡ ወእብሎ፡ መኑ፡ ውእቶሙ፡ እሉ፡ አርባዕቱ፡ ገጽ፡ ዘርኢኩ፡ ወእለ፡ ሰማዕኩ፡ ቃሎሙ፡ ወጸሐፍክዎሙ።
8After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’
9ወይቤለኒ፡ ዝ፡ ቃል፡ ቀዳማዊ፡ ውእቱ፡ መሓሪ፡ ወርሑቀ፡ መዓት፡ ቅዱስ፡ ሚካኤል፡ ወካልእ፡ ዘዲበ፡ ኵሉ፡ ሕማም፡ ወዲበ፡ ኵሉ፡ ቍስል፡ ዘውሉደ፡ ሰብእ፡ ውእቱ፡ ሩፋኤል፡ ወሣልስ፡ ዘዲበ፡ ኵሉ፡ ኀይል፡ ውእቱ፡ ቅዱስ፡ ገብርኤል፡ ወራብዕ፡ ዘዲበ፡ ንስሓ፡ ለተስፋ፡ እለ፡ ይወርሱ፡ ሕይወተ፡ ዘለዓለም፡ ውእቱ፡ ፋኑኤል።
9And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’
10ወእሉ፡ አርባዕቱ፡ መላእክቲሁ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር፡ ልዑል፡ ወአርባዕተ፡ ቃለ፡ ሰማዕኩ፡ በውእቶን፡ መዋዕል።
10And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.
