1ወኮነ፡ እምድኅረ፡ ዝ፡ ከመ፡ ትትከበት፡ መንፈስየ፡ ወትዕርግ፡ ውስተ፡ ሰማየ፡ ሰማያት፡ ርኢክዎሙ፡ ለውሉዶሙ፡ ለመላእክት፡ ቅዱሳን፡ ይከይዱ፡ ዲበ፡ ላህበ፡ እሳት፡ ወአልባሲሆሙ፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ወዐጽፎሙኒ፡ ወብርሃነ፡ ገጾሙ፡ ከመ፡ በረድ።
1And it came to pass after this that my spirit was translated And it ascended into the heavens: And I saw the holy sons of God. They were stepping on flames of fire: Their garments were white [and their raiment], And their faces shone like snow.
2ወርኢኩ፡ ክልኤተ፡ አፍላገ፡ እሳት፡ ወብርሃነ፡ ዝኩ፡ እሳት፡ ከመ፡ ያክንት፡ ያበርህ፡ ወወደቁ፡ በገጽየ፡ በቅድመ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት።
2And I saw two streams of fire, And the light of that fire shone like hyacinth, And I fell on my face before the Lord of Spirits.
3ወሚካኤል፡ መልአክ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምአርእስተ፡ መላእክት፡ አኀዘኒ፡ እዴየ፡ ዘየማን፡ ወአንሥአኒ፡ ወአውፅአኒ፡ ኀበ፡ ኵሉ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ ምሕረት፡ ወኅቡኣተ፡ ጽድቅ።
3And the angel Michael [one of the archangels] seized me by my right hand, And lifted me up and led me forth into all the secrets, And he showed me all the secrets of righteousness.
4ወአርአየኒ፡ ኵሎ፡ ኅቡኣተ፡ አጽናፈ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወኵሎ፡ መዛግብተ፡ ከዋክብት፡ ወብርሃናት፡ ኵሎሙ፡ እምኀበ፡ ይወፅኡ፡ ለገጸ፡ ቅዱሳን።
4And he showed me all the secrets of the ends of the heaven, And all the chambers of all the stars, and all the luminaries, Whence they proceed before the face of the holy ones.
5ወከበቶ፡ መንፈስ፡ ለሄኖክ፡ ውስተ፡ ሰማየ፡ ሰማያት፡ ወርኢኩ፡ በህየ፡ ማእከለ፡ ዝኩ፡ ብርሃን፡ ከመ፡ ቦቱ፡ ዘይትነደቅ፡ እምእብነ፡ አስሐትያ፡ ወበማእከለ፡ እሙንቱ፡ አእባን፡ ልሳናተ፡ እሳት፡ ሕያው።
5And he translated my spirit into the heaven of heavens, And I saw there as it were a structure built of crystals, And between those crystals tongues of living fire.
6ወርእየት፡ መንፈስየ፡ ዐውደ፡ ዘየዐውዶ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ እሳት፡ እምአርባዕቱ፡ አጽናፊሁ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ፈለግ፡ ምሉኣነ፡ እሳት፡ ሕያው፡ ወየዐውድዎ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ቤት።
6And my spirit saw the girdle which girt that house of fire, And on its four sides were streams full of living fire, And they girt that house.
7በዐውዱ፡ ኪሩቤል፡ ወሱራፌል፡ ወአፍኒን፡ እሉ፡ እሙንቱ፡ እለ፡ ኢይነውሙ፡ ወየዐቅቡ፡ መንበረ፡ ስብሐቲሁ።
7And round about were Seraphin, Cherubin, and Ophannin: And these are they who sleep not, And guard the throne of His glory.
8ወርኢኩ፡ መላእክተ፡ እለ፡ ኢይትኌለቁ፡ አእላፈ፡ አእላፋት፡ ወትእልፊተ፡ አእላፋት፡ ዘየዐውድዎ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ ወሚካኤል፡ ወገብርኤል፡ ፋኑኤል፡ ወሩፋኤል፡ ወመላእክት፡ ቅዱሳን፡ እለ፡ መልዕልተ፡ ሰማያት፡ ይበውኡ፡ ወይወፅኡ፡ በውእቱ፡ ቤት።
8And I saw angels who could not be counted. A thousand thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. Encircling that house, And Michael, and Raphael, and Gabriel, and Phanuel, And the holy angels who are above the heavens, Go in and out of that house.
9ወወፅኡ፡ እምውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ ሚካኤል፡ ወገብርኤል፡ ሩፋኤል፡ ወፋኑኤል፡ ወብዙኃን፡ ቅዱሳን፡ መላእክት፡ እለ፡ አልቦሙ፡ ኍልቊ።
9And they came forth from that house, And Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, And many holy angels without number.
10ወምስሌሆሙ፡ ርእሰ፡ መዋዕል፡ ወርእሱ፡ ኮነ፡ ከመ፡ ፀምር፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ወንጹሕ፡ ወልብሱ፡ ዘኢይተረጐም።
10And with them the Head of Days, His head white and pure as wool, And His raiment indescribable.
11ወወደቁ፡ በገጽየ፡ ወኵሉ፡ ሥጋየ፡ ተመስወ፡ ወመንፈስየ፡ ተወለጠ፡ ወጸራሕኩ፡ በቃል፡ ዐቢይ፡ በመንፈሰ፡ ኀይል፡ ወባረኩ፡ ወሰባሕኩ፡ ወአልዐልኩ።
11And I fell on my face, And my whole body became relaxed, And my spirit was transfigured; And I cried with a loud voice, with the spirit of power, And blessed and glorified and extolled.
12ወእላ፡ በረከታት፡ እለ፡ ወፅኣ፡ እምአፉየ፡ ኮና፡ ሥሙራተ፡ በቅድመ፡ ዝኩ፡ ርእሰ፡ መዋዕል።
12And these blessings which went forth out of my mouth were well pleasing before that Head of Days.
13ወመጽአ፡ ውእቱ፡ ርእሰ፡ መዋዕል፡ ምስለ፡ ሚካኤል፡ ወገብርኤል፡ ሩፋኤል፡ ወፋኑኤል፡ ወአእላፍ፡ ወትእልፊተ፡ አእላፋት፡ መላእክት፡ እለ፡ አልቦሙ፡ ኍልቊ።
13And that Head of Days came with Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel, thousands and ten thousands of angels without number. [Lost passage wherein the Son of Man was described as accompanying the Head of Days, and Enoch asked one of the angels (as in 463) concerning the Son of Man as to who he was.]
14ወመጽአ፡ ኀቤየ፡ ውእቱ፡ መልአክ፡ ወበቃሉ፡ አምኀኒ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ አንተ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወልደ፡ ብእሲ፡ ዘተወለድከ፡ ለጽድቅ፡ ወጽድቅ፡ ላዕሌከ፡ ኀደረ፡ ወጽድቁ፡ ለርእሰ፡ መዋዕል፡ ኢየኀድገከ።
14And he (i. e. the angel) came to me and greeted me with His voice, and said unto me: ‘This is the Son of Man who is born unto righteousness; And righteousness abides over him, And the righteousness of the Head of Days forsakes him not.’
15ወይቤለኒ፡ ይጼውዕ፡ ለከ፡ ሰላመ፡ በስሙ፡ ለዓለመ፡ ዓለም፡ ዘይከውን፡ እስመ፡ እምህየ፡ ወፅአ፡ ሰላም፡ እምፍጥረተ፡ ዓለም፡ ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ይከውን፡ ለከ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወለዓለመ፡ ዓለም።
15And he said unto me: ‘He proclaims unto thee peace in the name of the world to come; For from hence has proceeded peace since the creation of the world, And so shall it be unto thee for ever and for ever and ever.
16ወኵሉ፡ ይከውን፡ ወየሐውር፡ ዲበ፡ ፍኖትከ፡ እንዘ፡ ጽድቅ፡ ኢየኀድገከ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወምስሌከ፡ ማኅደሪሆሙ፡ ወምስሌከ፡ ክፍሎሙ፡ ወእምኔከ፡ ኢይትሌለዩ፡ ለዓለም፡ ወለዓለመ፡ ዓለም።
16And all shall walk in his ways since righteousness never forsakes him: With him will be their dwelling-places, and with him their heritage, And they shall not be separated from him for ever and ever and ever.
17ወከመ፡ ዝ፡ ይከውን፡ ኑኀ፡ መዋዕል፡ ምስለ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወልደ፡ ዕጓለ፡ እመሕያው፡ ወሰላም፡ ይከውን፡ ለጻድቃን፡ ወፍኖቱ፡ ርቱዕ፡ ለጻድቃን፡ በስመ፡ እግዚአ፡ መናፍስት፡ ለዓለመ፡ ዓለም።
17And so there shall be length of days with that Son of Man, And the righteous shall have peace and an upright way, In the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.’ THE BOOK OF THE COURSES OF THE HEAVENLY LUMINARIES. (LXXII-LXXXII.)
