1And now, my son Methuselah, I will show thee all my visions which I have seen, recounting them before thee.

2Two visions I saw before I took a wife, and the one was quite unlike the other: the first when I was learning to write, the second before I took thy mother, (when) I saw a terrible vision. And regarding them I prayed to the Lord.
3ወስኩበ፡ ኮንኩ፡ በቤተ፡ መላልኤል፡ እምኄውየ፡ ርኢኩ፡ በራእይ፡ ሰማይ፡ ይትነጻሕ፡ ወይትሀየድ፡ ወይወድቅ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር።
3I had laid me down in the house of my grandfather Mahalalel, (when) I saw in a vision how the heaven collapsed and was borne off and fell to the earth.
4ወሶበ፡ ይወድቅ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ርኢክዋ፡ ለምድር፡ ከመ፡ ትትወሐጥ፡ ውስተ፡ ቀላይ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ወአድባር፡ ዲበ፡ አድባር፡ ይሰቀሉ፡ ወአውግር፡ ዲበ፡ አውግር፡ ይሰጠሙ፡ ወአዕዋም፡ ነዊኀት፡ እምጕንዳቲሆሙ፡ ይትገዘሙ፡ ወይትገደፉ፡ ወይሰጠሙ፡ ውስተ፡ ቀላይ።
4And when it fell to the earth I saw how the earth was swallowed up in a great abyss, and mountains were suspended on mountains, and hills sank down on hills, and high trees were rent from their stems, and hurled down and sunk in the abyss.
5ወእምኔሁ፡ ወድቀ፡ ነገር፡ ውስተ፡ አፉየ፡ ወአንሣእኩ፡ እጽራሕ፡ ወእቤ፡ ተሀጕለት፡ ምድር።
5And thereupon a word fell into my mouth, and I lifted up (my voice) to cry aloud, and said: ‘The earth is destroyed.’
6ወመላልኤል፡ እምኄውየ፡ አንሥአኒ፡ እንዘ፡ አነ፡ እሰክብ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ ለምንት፡ ከመ፡ ዝ፡ ትጸርሕ፡ ወልድየ፡ ወለምንት፡ ከመ፡ ዝ፡ ተዐወዩ።
6And my grandfather Mahalalel waked me as I lay near him, and said unto me: ‘Why dost thou cry so, my son, and why dost thou make such lamentation?’
7ወነገርክዎ፡ ኵሎ፡ ራእየ፡ ዘርኢኩ፡ ወይቤለኒ፡ ከመ፡ ጽኑዐ፡ ርኢከ፡ ወልድየ፡ ወኀየለ፡ ራእየ፡ ሕልምከ፡ ኅቡአተ፡ ኵሉ፡ ኀጢአተ፡ ምድር፡ ወትሰጠም፡ ሀለወት፡ ውስተ፡ ቀላያት፡ ወተሀጕል፡ ሀጕለ፡ ዐቢየ።
7And I recounted to him the whole vision which I had seen, and he said unto me: ‘A terrible thing hast thou seen, my son, and of grave moment is thy dream-vision as to the secrets of all the sin of the earth: it must sink into the abyss and be destroyed with a great destruction.
8ወይእዜኒ፡ ወልድየ፡ ተንሥእ፡ ወአስተብቍዖ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ ስብሐት፡ እስመ፡ መሃይምን፡ አንተ፡ ከመ፡ ይትርፍ፡ ትራፍ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ወይደመስሳ፡ ለኵላ፡ ምድር።
8And now, my son, arise and make petition to the Lord of glory, since thou art a believer, that a remnant may remain on the earth, and that He may not destroy the whole earth.
9ወልድየ፡ እምሰማይ፡ ይሄሉ፡ ኵሉ፡ ዝ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ወዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ይከውን፡ ሀጕል፡ ዐቢይ።
9My son, from heaven all this will come upon the earth, and upon the earth there will be great destruction.’
10ወእምኔሁ፡ ተንሣእኩ፡ ወጸለይኩ፡ ወአስተብቋዕኩ፡ ወጸሎትየ፡ ጸሐፍኩ፡ ለትውልደ፡ ዓለም፡ ወኵሎ፡ አርአይኩከ፡ ወልድየ፡ ማቱሳላ።
10After that I arose and prayed and implored and besought, and wrote down my prayer for the generations of the world, and I will show everything to thee, my son Methuselah.
11ወሶበ፡ ወፃእኩ፡ ታሕተ፡ ርኢክዎ፡ ለሰማይ፡ ወለፀሓይ፡ ይወፅእ፡ እምሥራቅ፡ ወወርኅ፡ ይወርድ፡ እምዕራብ፡ ወውኁዳት፡ ከዋክብት፡ ወኵሉ፡ ምድር፡ ወኵሎ፡ ዘአእመረ፡ ዲበ፡ ቀዳሚ፡ ወባረክዎ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ ኵነኔ፡ ወሎቱ፡ ወሀብኩ፡ ዕበየ፡ እስመ፡ አውፅአ፡ ፀሓየ፡ እመሳክወ፡ ምሥራቅ፡ ወአዕረገ፡ ወአሥረቀ፡ ዲበ፡ ገጸ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወተንሥአ፡ ወየሐውር፡ ፍኖት፡ እንተ፡ ተርእየት፡ ሎቱ።
11And when I had gone forth below and seen the heaven, and the sun rising in the east, and the moon setting in the west, and a few stars, and the whole earth, and everything as †He had known† it in the beginning, then I blessed the Lord of judgement and extolled Him because He had made the sun to go forth from the windows of the east, †and he ascended and rose on the face of the heaven, and set out and kept traversing the path shown unto him.
