1In the year five hundred, in the seventh month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the life of †Enoch†. In that Parable I saw how a mighty quaking made the heaven of heavens to quake, and the host of the Most High, and the angels, a thousand thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, were disquieted with a great disquiet.

2And the Head of Days sat on the throne of His glory, and the angels and the righteous stood around Him.
3ወሊተኒ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ረዓድ፡ ነሥአኒ፡ ወፍርሀት፡ አኀዘኒ፡ ወሐቌየ፡ ተቀጽዐ፡ ወተፈትሐ፡ ወኵለንታየ፡ ተመስወ፡ ወወደቁ፡ በገጽየ።
3And a great trembling seized me, And fear took hold of me, And my loins gave way, And dissolved were my reins, And I fell upon my face.

4And Michael sent another angel from among the holy ones and he raised me up, and when he had raised me up my spirit returned; for I had not been able to endure the look of this host, and the commotion and the quaking of the heaven.
5ወይቤለኒ፡ ቅዱስ፡ ሚካኤል፡ በእንተ፡ ምንት፡ ራእየ፡ ዘከመ፡ ዝ፡ ተሀውከ፡ እስከ፡ ዮም፡ ሀለወት፡ ዕለተ፡ ምሕረቱ፡ ወሀሎ፡ መሓሪ፡ ወርሑቀ፡ መዐት፡ ላዕለ፡ እለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ዲበ፡ የብስ።
5And Michael said unto me: ‘Why art thou disquieted with such a vision? Until this day lasted the day of His mercy; and He hath been merciful and long-suffering towards those who dwell on the earth. When the punishment of the Lord of Spirits shall rest upon them, it shall rest in order that the punishment of the Lord of Spirits may not come in vain, and it shall slay the children with their mothers and the children with their fathers. Afterwards the judgement shall take place according to His mercy and His patience.’

6And when the day, and the power, and the punishment, and the judgement come, which the Lord of Spirits hath prepared for those who worship not the righteous law, and for those who deny the righteous judgement, and for those who take His name in vain—that day is prepared; for the elect a covenant, but for sinners an inquisition.

7And on that day were two monsters parted, a female monster named Leviathan, to dwell in the abysses of the ocean over the fountains of the waters.
8ወለተባዕታይ፡ ስሙ፡ ብሔሞት፡ ዘይእኅዝ፡ በእንግድዓሁ፡ በበድው፡ ዘኢያስተርኢ፡ ወስሙ፡ ዴንዳይን፡ በምሥራቀ፡ ገነት፡ በኀበ፡ ይነብሩ፡ ጻድቃን፡ ወኅሩያን፡ በኀበ፡ ተመጠወ፡ እምኄውየ፡ ዘውእቱ፡ ሳብዕ፡ እምአዳም፡ ቀዳሚሆሙ፡ ለሰብእ፡ ዘገብረ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
8But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named †Dûidâin†, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first man whom the Lord of Spirits created.
9ወተስእልክዎ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ካልእ፡ መልአክ፡ ከመ፡ ያርእየኒ፡ ኀይሎሙ፡ ለእልክቱ፡ አናብርት፡ እፎ፡ ተሌለዩ፡ በአሐቲ፡ ዕለት፡ ወተወድዩ፡ አሐዱ፡ በልጐተ፡ ባሕር፡ ወአሐዱ፡ በየብሰ፡ በድው።
9And I besought the other angel that he should show me the might of those monsters, how they were parted on one day and cast, the one into the abysses of the sea, and the other unto the dry land of the wilderness.
10ወይቤለኒ፡ አንተ፡ ወልደ፡ ሰብእ፡ በዝየ፡ ትፈቅድ፡ ታእምር፡ ዘኅቡእ።
10And he said to me: ‘Thou son of man, herein thou dost seek to know what is hidden.’
11ወይቤለኒ፡ ካልእ፡ መልአክ፡ ዘየሐውር፡ ምስሌየ፡ ወዘበኅቡእ፡ ያሬእየኒ፡ ዘቀዳሚ፡ ወዘደኃሪ፡ በሰማይ፡ በውስተ፡ ላዕሉ፡ ወበውስተ፡ የብስ፡ በማዕምቅ፡ ወበአጽናፈ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወበመሠረተ፡ ሰማይ።
11And the other angel who went with me and showed me what was hidden told me, what is first and last in the heaven in the height, and beneath the earth in the depth, and at the ends of the heaven, and on the foundation of the heaven.
12ወበመዛግብተ፡ ነፋሳት፡ ወእፎ፡ ይትከፈሉ፡ መናፍስት፡ ወእፎ፡ ይደሉ፡ ወእፎ፡ ይትኌለቁ፡ አንቅዕተ፡ ወነፋሳት፡ በኀይለ፡ መንፈስ፡ ወኀይሎሙ፡ ለብርሃነ፡ ወርኅ፡ ወከመ፡ ኀይለ፡ ጽድቅ፡ ወክፍላተ፡ ከዋክብት፡ በበ፡ ስሞሙ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ክፍል፡ ይትከፈል።
12And the chambers of the winds, and how the winds are divided, and how they are weighed, and (how) the portals of the winds are reckoned, each according to the power of the wind, and the power of the lights of the moon, and according to the power that is fitting: and the divisions of the stars according to their names, and how all the divisions are divided.
13ወነጐድጓድ፡ በሙዳቃቲሆሙ፡ ወለኵሉ፡ ክፍል፡ ዘይትከፈል፡ ወመብረቅ፡ ከመ፡ ይበርቅ፡ ወትዕይንቶሙ፡ ከመ፡ ይስምዑ፡ ፍጡነ።
13And the thunders according to the places where they fall, and all the divisions that are made among the lightnings that it may lighten, and their host that they may at once obey.
14እስመ፡ ቦቱ፡ ለነጐድጓድ፡ ምዕራፋት፡ በትዕግሥት፡ ለቃለ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ተውህበ፡ ወኢይትሌለዩ፡ ኢ፡ ነጐድጓድ፡ ወኢ፡ መብረቅ፡ ወኢ፡ አሐዱ፡ አሐዱ፡ በመንፈሰ፡ ክልኤሆሙ፡ የሐውሩ፡ ወኢይትሌለዩ።
14For the thunder has †places of rest† (which) are assigned (to it) while it is waiting for its peal; and the thunder and lightning are inseparable, and although not one and undivided, they both go together through the spirit and separate not.
15እስመ፡ ሶበ፡ ይበርቅ፡ መብረቅ፡ ነጐድጓድ፡ ቃሎ፡ ይሁብ፡ ወመንፈስ፡ በጊዜሃ፡ የዐርፍ፡ ወዕሩየ፡ ይከፍል፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ እስመ፡ መዝገበ፡ ጊዜያቲሆሙ፡ ዘኆፃ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወአሐዱ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ በጊዜሁ፡ በልጓም፡ ይትአኀዙ፡ ወይትመየጡ፡ በኀይለ፡ መንፈስ፡ ወይትነዳእ፡ ከመ፡ ዝ፡ በከመ፡ ብዝኀ፡ አድዋለ፡ ምድር።
15For when the lightning lightens, the thunder utters its voice, and the spirit enforces a pause during the peal, and divides equally between them; for the treasury of their peals is like the sand, and each one of them as it peals is held in with a bridle, and turned back by the power of the spirit, and pushed forward according to the many quarters of the earth.
16ወመንፈሰ፡ ባሕር፡ ተባዕታይ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወበከመ፡ ኀይለ፡ ጽንዓታ፡ በልጓም፡ ያገብኣ፡ ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ትትነዳእ፡ ወትዘራዕ፡ በኵሉ፡ አድባረ፡ ምድር።
16And the spirit of the sea is masculine and strong, and according to the might of his strength he draws it back with a rein, and in like manner it is driven forward and disperses amid all the mountains of the earth.
17ወመንፈሰ፡ አስሐትያ፡ መልአከ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወመንፈሰ፡ በረድ፡ መልአክ፡ ኄር፡ ውእቱ።
17And the spirit of the hoar-frost is his own angel, and the spirit of the hail is a good angel.
18ወመልአከ፡ ሐመዳ፡ ኀደገ፡ በእንተ፡ እከየ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ወመንፈስ፡ ቦቱ፡ ለባሕቲቱ፡ ወዘየዐርግ፡ እምኔሁ፡ ከመ፡ ጢስ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወስሙ፡ ደደክ።
18And the spirit of the snow has forsaken (his chamber) on account of his strength—there is a special spirit therein, and that which ascends from it is like smoke, and its name is frost.
19ወመንፈሰ፡ ጊሜ፡ ኢይትኀበር፡ ምስሌሆሙ፡ ውስተ፡ መዛግብቲሆሙ፡ አላ፡ መዝገብ፡ ቦቱ፡ ለባሕቲቱ፡ እስመ፡ ምሕዋረ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ በስብሐት፡ ወበብርሃን፡ ወበጽልመት፡ ወበክረምት፡ ወበሐጋይ፡ ወመዝገበ፡ ዚኣሃ፡ ብርሃን፡ ውእቱ፡ ወመልአካ፡ ውእቱ።
19And the spirit of the mist is not united with them in their chambers, but it has a special chamber; for its course is †glorious† both in light and in darkness, and in winter and in summer, and in its chamber is an angel.
20ወመንፈሰ፡ ጠል፡ ማኅደሩ፡ በአጽናፈ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወድሩግ፡ ውእቱ፡ ምስለ፡ መዛግብተ፡ ዝናም፡ ወምሕዋረ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ በክረምት፡ ወበሐጋይ፡ ወደመና፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ወደመና፡ ጊሜ፡ ኅቡር፡ ውእቱ፡ ወአሐዱ፡ ለካልኡ፡ ይሁብ።
20And the spirit of the dew has its dwelling at the ends of the heaven, and is connected with the chambers of the rain, and its course is in winter and summer: and its clouds and the clouds of the mist are connected, and the one gives to the other.
21ወመንፈሱ፡ ለዝናም፡ ሶበ፡ ይትሐወስ፡ እመዝገበ፡ ዚኣሁ፡ ይመጽኡ፡ መላእክት፡ ወያርኅዉ፡ መዝገበ፡ ወያወፅእዎ፡ ወሶበ፡ ይዘራዕ፡ ዲበ፡ ኵሉ፡ የብስ፡ ይትኀበር፡ ምስለ፡ ኵሉ፡ ማይ፡ ዘዲበ፡ የብስ፡ ወሶበ፡ ይትኀበር፡ በኵሉ፡ ጊዜ፡ ምስለ፡ ማይ፡ ዘዲበ፡ የብስ።
21And when the spirit of the rain goes forth from its chamber, the angels come and open the chamber and lead it out, and when it is diffused over the whole earth it unites with the water on the earth. And whensoever it unites with the water on the earth....
22እስመ፡ ኮኑ፡ ማያት፡ ለእለ፡ የኀድሩ፡ ዲበ፡ የብስ፡ እስመ፡ ሲሳያ፡ ለየብስ፡ እምኀበ፡ ልዑል፡ ዘበሰማይ፡ ውእቱ፡ እስመ፡ በእንተ፡ ዝ፡ መስፈርት፡ ቦቱ፡ ለዝናም፡ ወመላእክት፡ ይትሜጠውዎ።
22For the waters are for those who dwell on the earth; for they are nourishment for the earth from the Most High who is in heaven: therefore there is a measure for the rain, and the angels take it in charge.
23እሎንተ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ ርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ ገነተ፡ ጻድቃን።
23And these things I saw towards the Garden of the Righteous.
24ወይቤለኒ፡ መልአከ፡ ሰላም፡ ዘምስሌየ፡ ይሄሉ፡ እሉ፡ ክልኤቱ፡ አናብርት፡ ላዕለ፡ ዕበይ፡ ዘእግዚአብሔር፡ ድልዋን፡ ይሴሰዩ፡ ከመ፡ መቅሠፍቱ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር፡ በከ፡ ወይትቀተሉ፡ ደቂቅ፡ ምስለ፡ እማንቲሆሙ፡ ወውሉድ፡ ምስለ፡ አበዊሆሙ።
24And the angel of peace who was with me said to me: ‘These two monsters, prepared, conformably to the greatness of God, shall feed....’
25ሶበ፡ ተዐርፍ፡ መቅሠፍቱ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ ዲቤሆሙ፡ ከመ፡ ኢትምጻእ፡ መቅሠፍቱ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ በከ፡ ዲበ፡ እሉ፡ ድኅረ፡ ትከውን፡ ኵነኔ፡ በምሕረቱ፡ ወበትዕግሥቱ።
