1ወአሐዱ፡ እምእልኩ፡ አርባዕቱ፡ ሖረ፡ ኀበ፡ ዝኩ፡ ላሕም፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ወመሀሮ፡ ምሥጢረ፡ እንዘ፡ ይርዕድ፡ ውእቱ፡ ላሕም፡ ተወልደ፡ ወኮነ፡ ሰብአ፡ ወጸረበ፡ ሎቱ፡ መስቀረ፡ ዐባየ፡ ወነበረ፡ ዲቤሃ፡ ወሠለስቱ፡ አልሕምት፡ ነበሩ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ በይእቲ፡ መስቀር፡ ወተከድነ፡ ላዕሌሆሙ።
1And one of those four went to that white bull and instructed him in a secret, without his being terrified: he was born a bull and became a man, and built for himself a great vessel and dwelt thereon; and three bulls dwelt with him in that vessel and they were covered in.
2ወአልዐልኩ፡ ካዕበ፡ አዕይንትየ፡ መንገለ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወርኢኩ፡ ናሕሰ፡ ልዑለ፡ ወሰብዐቱ፡ አስራብ፡ ዲቤሁ፡ ወእልኩ፡ አስራብ፡ ይውሕዙ፡ በአሐዱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ ማየ፡ ብዙኀ።
2And again I raised mine eyes towards heaven and saw a lofty roof, with seven water torrents thereon, and those torrents flowed with much water into an enclosure.
3ወርኢኩ፡ ካዕበ፡ ወነዋ፡ አንቅዕታት፡ ተርኅዉ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ በውእቱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ወአኀዘ፡ ውእቱ፡ ማይ፡ ይፍላሕ፡ ወይትነሣእ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ወኢያርአዮ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ እስከ፡ ኵሉ፡ ምድሩ፡ ተከድነ፡ በማይ።
3And I saw again, and behold fountains were opened on the surface of that great enclosure, and that water began to swell and rise upon the surface, and I saw that enclosure till all its surface was covered with water.
4ወበዝኀ፡ ዲቤሁ፡ ማይ፡ ወጽልመት፡ ወጊሜ፡ ወእሬኢ፡ መልዕልቶ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ማይ፡ ወተለዐለ፡ ውእቱ፡ ማይ፡ መልዕልቶ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ ወይክዑ፡ መልዕልቶ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ ወቆመ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር።
4And the water, the darkness, and mist increased upon it; and as I looked at the height of that water, that water had risen above the height of that enclosure, and was streaming over that enclosure, and it stood upon the earth.
5ወኵሎሙ፡ አልሕምት፡ እለ፡ ውስተ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዐጸድ፡ ተጋብኡ፡ እስከነ፡ ርኢክዎሙ፡ ይሰጠሙ፡ ወይትወኀጡ፡ ወይትሀጐሉ፡ በውእቱ፡ ማይ።
5And all the cattle of that enclosure were gathered together until I saw how they sank and were swallowed up and perished in that water.
6ወውእቱ፡ መስቀር፡ ይደቢ፡ ዲበ፡ ማይ፡ ወኵሎሙ፡ አልሕምት፡ ወነጌያት፡ ወአግማል፡ ወአእዱግ፡ ተሰጥሙ፡ ውስተ፡ ምድር፡ ወኵሉ፡ እንስሳ፡ ወኢክህልኩ፡ ርእዮቶሙ፡ ወእሙንቱሂ፡ ስእኑ፡ ወፂአ፡ ወተሀጕሉ፡ ወተሰጥሙ፡ ውስተ፡ ቀላይ።
6But that vessel floated on the water, while all the oxen and elephants and camels and asses sank to the bottom with all the animals, so that I could no longer see them, and they were not able to escape, (but) perished and sank into the depths.
7ወካዕበ፡ ርኢኩ፡ በራእይ፡ እስከ፡ ሰሰሉ፡ እልኩ፡ አስራብ፡ እምዝኩ፡ ናሕስ፡ ልዑል፡ ወንቅዓተ፡ ምድር፡ ዐረየ፡ ወማዕምቃት፡ ካልኣን፡ ተፈትሑ።
7And again I saw in the vision till those water torrents were removed from that high roof, and the chasms of the earth were levelled up and other abysses were opened.
8ወአኀዘ፡ ማይ፡ ይረድ፡ ውስቴቶሙ፡ እስከነ፡ ተከሥተ፡ ምድር፡ ወውእቱ፡ መስቀር፡ ነበረ፡ ውስተ፡ ምድር፡ ወተግሕሠት፡ ጽልመት፡ ወኮነ፡ ብርሃን።
8Then the water began to run down into these, till the earth became visible; but that vessel settled on the earth, and the darkness retired and light appeared.
9ወውእቱ፡ ላሕም፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ዘኮነ፡ ብእሴ፡ ወፅአ፡ እምዝኩ፡ መስቀር፡ ወሠለስቱ፡ አልሕምት፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ወኮነ፡ አሐዱ፡ ዝኩ፡ እምሠለስቱ፡ አልሕምት፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ይመስሎ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ላሕም፡ ወአሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ቀይሕ፡ ከመ፡ ደም፡ ወአሐዱ፡ ጸሊም፡ ወውእቱ፡ ዝኩ፡ ላሕም፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ኀለፈ፡ እምኔሆሙ።
9But that white bull which had become a man came out of that vessel, and the three bulls with him, and one of those three was white like that bull, and one of them was red as blood, and one black: and that white bull departed from them.
10ወአኀዙ፡ ይለዱ፡ አራዊተ፡ ገዳም፡ ወአዕዋፈ፡ ወኮነ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ዘእምኵሎሙ፡ ኅብረ፡ አሕዛብ፡ አናብስተ፡ ወአናምርተ፡ አዝእብተ፡ ወአክልብተ፡ አጽዕብተ፡ ወሐራውያ፡ ገዳም፡ ቈናጽለ፡ ወግሔያተ፡ ሐንዘረ፡ ወሲሲተ፡ አንስርተ፡ ወአውስተ፡ ሆባየ፡ ወፎቃንሰ፡ ወቋዓተ፡ ወተወልደ፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ ላሕም፡ ጸዐዳ።
10And they began to bring forth beasts of the field and birds, so that there arose different genera: lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, hyenas, wild boars, foxes, squirrels, swine, falcons, vultures, kites, eagles, and ravens; and among them was born a white bull.
11ወአኀዙ፡ ይትናሰኩ፡ በበይናቲሆሙ፡ አሐዱ፡ ምስለ፡ ካልኡ፡ ወዝኩ፡ ላሕም፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ዘተወልደ፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ ወለደ፡ አድገ፡ ገዳም፡ ወላሕመ፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ወበዝኁ፡ አእዱገ፡ ገዳም።
11And they began to bite one another; but that white bull which was born amongst them begat a wild ass and a white bull with it, and the wild asses multiplied.
12ወውእቱ፡ ላሕም፡ ዘተወልደ፡ እምኔሁ፡ ወለደ፡ ሐራውያ፡ ገዳም፡ ጸሊመ፡ ወበግዐ፡ ጸዐዳ፡ ወውእቱ፡ ሐራውያ፡ ገዳም፡ ወለደ፡ አሕርወ፡ ብዙኃነ፡ ወውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ወለደ፡ ዐሠርተ፡ ወክልኤተ፡ አባግዐ።
12But that bull which was born from him begat a black wild boar and a white sheep; and the former begat many boars, but that sheep begat twelve sheep.
13ወሶበ፡ ልህቁ፡ እልክቱ፡ እሙንቱ፡ ዐሠርቱ፡ ወክልኤቱ፡ አባግዕ፡ ለአሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ መጠውዎ፡ ለአእዱገ፡ ገዳም፡ ወእልክቱ፡ አእዱገ፡ ገዳም፡ ካዕበ፡ መጠውዎ፡ ለዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ለአዝእብት፡ ወልህቀ፡ ዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ማእከለ፡ አዝእብት።
13And when those twelve sheep had grown, they gave up one of them to the asses, and those asses again gave up that sheep to the wolves, and that sheep grew up among the wolves.
14ወእግዚእ፡ አምጽኦሙ፡ ለዐሠርቱ፡ ወአሐዱ፡ አባግዕ፡ ከመ፡ ይኅድሩ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ወይትረዐዩ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ማእከለ፡ አዝእብት፡ ወበዝኁ፡ ወኮኑ፡ መራዕየ፡ ብዙኃነ፡ ዘአባግዕ።
14And the Lord brought the eleven sheep to live with it and to pasture with it among the wolves: and they multiplied and became many flocks of sheep.
15ወወጠኑ፡ አዝእብት፡ እንዘ፡ ይፈርህዎሙ፡ ወአጠቅዎሙ፡ እስከ፡ የኀልቁ፡ ደቂቆሙ፡ ወገደፉ፡ ደቂቆሙ፡ በውሒዘ፡ ማይ፡ ብዙኅ፡ ወእልኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ ወጠኑ፡ ይጽርሑ፡ በእንተ፡ ደቂቆሙ፡ ወይስክዩ፡ ኀበ፡ እግዚኦሙ።
15And the wolves began to fear them, and they oppressed them until they destroyed their little ones, and they cast their young into a river of much water: but those sheep began to cry aloud on account of their little ones, and to complain unto their Lord.
16ወበግዕ፡ ዘድኅነ፡ እምነ፡ አዝእብት፡ ነፍጸ፡ ወኀለፈ፡ ውስተ፡ አእዱገ፡ ገዳም፡ ወርኢክዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ እንዘ፡ የዐወይዉ፡ ወይጸርሑ፡ ወይስእልዎ፡ ለእግዚኦሙ፡ በኵሉ፡ ኀይሎሙ፡ እስከ፡ ወረደ፡ ዝኩ፡ እግዚአ፡ አባግዕ፡ ኀበ፡ ቃሎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ እምጽርሕ፡ ልዑል፡ ወበጽሐ፡ ኀቤሆሙ፡ ወርእዮሙ።
16And a sheep which had been saved from the wolves fled and escaped to the wild asses; and I saw the sheep how they lamented and cried, and besought their Lord with all their might, till that Lord of the sheep descended at the voice of the sheep from a lofty abode, and came to them and pastured them.
17ወጸውዖ፡ ለዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘተኀጥአ፡ እምአዝእብት፡ ወተናግሮ፡ በእንተ፡ አዝእብት፡ ከመ፡ ያስምዕ፡ ዲቤሆሙ፡ ከመ፡ ኢይግስስዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ።
17And He called that sheep which had escaped the wolves, and spake with it concerning the wolves that it should admonish them not to touch the sheep.
18ወሖረ፡ ዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ኀበ፡ አዝእብት፡ በቃለ፡ እግዚእ፡ ወካልእ፡ በግዕ፡ ተራከቦ፡ ለውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ወሖረ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ወቦኡ፡ ክልኤሆሙ፡ ኅቡረ፡ ውስተ፡ ማኅበሮሙ፡ ለእልኩ፡ አዝእብት፡ ወተናገርዎሙ፡ ወአስምዑ፡ ዲቤሆሙ፡ ከመ፡ እምይእዜ፡ ኢይግስስዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ።
18And the sheep went to the wolves according to the word of the Lord, and another sheep met it and went with it, and the two went and entered together into the assembly of those wolves, and spake with them and admonished them not to touch the sheep from henceforth.
19ወእምኔሁ፡ ርኢክዎሙ፡ ለአዝእብት፡ ወእፎ፡ ጸንዑ፡ ፈድፋደ፡ ዲበ፡ አባግዕ፡ በኵሉ፡ ኀይሎሙ፡ ወጸርሑ፡ አባግዕ።
19And thereupon I saw the wolves, and how they oppressed the sheep exceedingly with all their power; and the sheep cried aloud.
20ወእግዚኦሙ፡ መጽአ፡ ኀቤሆሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ወአኀዘ፡ ይዝብጦሙ፡ ለእልኩ፡ አዝእብት፡ ወአዝእብት፡ አኀዙ፡ የዐውይዉ፡ ወአባግዕ፡ አርመሙ፡ ወእምሶቤሃ፡ ኢጸርሑ።
20And the Lord came to the sheep and they began to smite those wolves: and the wolves began to make lamentation; but the sheep became quiet and forthwith ceased to cry out.
21ወርኢክዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ እስከ፡ ወፅኡ፡ እምአዝእብት፡ ወአዝእብት፡ ተጸለሉ፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ፡ ወወፅኡ፡ እንዘ፡ ይተልውዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ እልኩ፡ አዝእብት፡ በኵሉ፡ ኀይሎሙ።
21And I saw the sheep till they departed from amongst the wolves; but the eyes of the wolves were blinded, and those wolves departed in pursuit of the sheep with all their power.
22ወእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ሖረ፡ ምስሌሆሙ፡ እንዘ፡ ይመርሖሙ፡ ወኵሎሙ፡ አባግዒሁ፡ ተለውዎ፡ ወገጹ፡ ስቡሕ፡ ወክቡር፡ ወግሩም፡ ራእዩ፡ ወክቡር።
22And the Lord of the sheep went with them, as their leader, and all His sheep followed Him: and His face was dazzling and glorious and terrible to behold.
23ወአዝእብተሰ፡ አኀዙ፡ ይትልውዎሙ፡ ለእልኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ እስከ፡ ተራከብዎሙ፡ በአሐቲ፡ አይገ፡ ማይ።
23But the wolves began to pursue those sheep till they reached a sea of water.
24ወውእቱ፡ አይገ፡ ማይ፡ ተሠጠ፡ ወቆመ፡ ማይ፡ እምዝየ፡ ወእምዝየ፡ በቅድመ፡ ገጾሙ፡ ወእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ይመርሖሙ፡ ወቆመ፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ ወማእከለ፡ አዝእብት።
24And that sea was divided, and the water stood on this side and on that before their face, and their Lord led them and placed Himself between them and the wolves.
25ወዓዲሆሙ፡ እልክቱ፡ አዝእብት፡ ኢርእይዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ወሖሩ፡ ማእከለ፡ ዝኩ፡ አይገ፡ ማይ፡ ወአዝእብት፡ ተለውዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ወሮጹ፡ ድኅሬሆሙ፡ እልክቱ፡ አዝእብት፡ በዝኩ፡ አይገ፡ ማይ።
25And as those wolves did not yet see the sheep, they proceeded into the midst of that sea, and the wolves followed the sheep, and [those wolves] ran after them into that sea.
26ወሶበ፡ ርእይዎ፡ ለእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ገብኡ፡ ከመ፡ ይጕየዩ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ገጹ፡ ወዝኩ፡ አይገ፡ ማይ፡ ተጋብአ፡ ወኮነ፡ ከመ፡ ፍጥረቱ፡ ፍጡነ፡ ወመልአ፡ ማይ፡ ወተለዐለ፡ እስከ፡ ከደኖሙ፡ ለእልክቱ፡ አዝእብት።
26And when they saw the Lord of the sheep, they turned to flee before His face, but that sea gathered itself together, and became as it had been created, and the water swelled and rose till it covered those wolves.
27ወርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ ተሀጕሉ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ አዝእብት፡ እለ፡ ተለውዎሙ፡ ለእልክቱ፡ አባግዕ፡ ወተሰጥሙ።
27And I saw till all the wolves who pursued those sheep perished and were drowned.
28ወአባግዕሰ፡ ኀለፉ፡ እምዝኩ፡ ማይ፡ ወወፅኡ፡ ውስተ፡ በድው፡ ኀበ፡ አልቦ፡ ማይ፡ ወሣዕር፡ ወአኀዙ፡ ይክሥቱ፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ፡ ወይርአዩ፡ ወርኢኩ፡ እግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ይርዕዮሙ፡ ወይሁቦሙ፡ ማየ፡ ወሣዕረ፡ ወዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ እንዘ፡ የሐውር፡ ይመርሖሙ።
28But the sheep escaped from that water and went forth into a wilderness, where there was no water and no grass; and they began to open their eyes and to see; and I saw the Lord of the sheep pasturing them and giving them water and grass, and that sheep going and leading them.
29ወዐርገ፡ ዲበ፡ ድማሑ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ኰኵሕ፡ ነዊኅ፡ ወእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ፈነዎ፡ ኀቤሆሙ።
29And that sheep ascended to the summit of that lofty rock, and the Lord of the sheep sent it to them.
30ወእምኔሁ፡ ርኢክዎ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ አባግዕ፡ ዘቆመ፡ ቅድሜሆሙ፡ ወራእዩ፡ ዐቢይ፡ ወግሩም፡ ወኀያል፡ ወኵሎሙ፡ እልክቱ፡ አባግዕ፡ ርእይዎ፡ ወፈርሁ፡ እምገጹ።
30And after that I saw the Lord of the sheep who stood before them, and His appearance was great and terrible and majestic, and all those sheep saw Him and were afraid before His face.
31ወኵሎሙ፡ እልክቱ፡ ይፈርሁ፡ ወይርዕዱ፡ እምኔሁ፡ ወይጸርሑ፡ ድኅሬሁ፡ ለዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ ዘሀሎ፡ ለካልእ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘኮነ፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ እስመ፡ ኢንክል፡ ቀዊመ፡ ቅድመ፡ እግዚእነ፡ ወኢነጽሮቶ።
31And they all feared and trembled because of Him, and they cried to that sheep with them [which was amongst them]: “We are not able to stand before our Lord or to behold Him.”
32ወገብአ፡ ዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘይመርሖሙ፡ ወዐርገ፡ በድማኀ፡ ዝኩ፡ ኰኵሕ፡ ወአባግዕ፡ አኀዙ፡ ይጸለሉ፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ፡ ወይስሐቱ፡ እምፍኖት፡ እንተ፡ አርአዮሙ፡ ወዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ኢያእመረ።
32And that sheep which led them again ascended to the summit of that rock, but the sheep began to be blinded and to wander from the way which he had showed them, but that sheep wot not thereof.
33ወእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ተምዕዐ፡ ዐቢየ፡ መዓተ፡ ዲቤሆሙ፡ ወአእመረ፡ ዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ወወረደ፡ እምነ፡ ድማኁ፡ ለኰኵሕ፡ ወመጽአ፡ ኀበ፡ አባግዕ፡ ወረከበ፡ መብዝኅቶሙ፡ ዘጽሉላን፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ፡ ወእለ፡ ስሕቱ፡ እምፍኖቱ።
33And the Lord of the sheep was wrathful exceedingly against them, and that sheep discovered it, and went down from the summit of the rock, and came to the sheep, and found the greatest part of them blinded and fallen away.
34ወሶበ፡ ርእይዎ፡ ፈርሁ፡ ወርዕዱ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ገጹ፡ ወፈቀዱ፡ ከመ፡ ይግብኡ፡ ለዐጸደ፡ ዚኣሆሙ።
34And when they saw it they feared and trembled at its presence, and desired to return to their folds.
35ወዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ነሥአ፡ ምስሌሁ፡ አባግዐ፡ ወቦኡ፡ ኀበ፡ እልክቱ፡ አባግዕ፡ እለ፡ ስሕቱ፡ ወእም፡ ዝ፡ እንዘ፡ ይቅትሎሙ፡ ወአባግዕ፡ ፈርሁ፡ እምገጹ፡ ወአግብኦሙ፡ ለእልኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ እለ፡ ስሕቱ፡ ውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ወገብኡ፡ ውስተ፡ አዕጻዲሆሙ።
35And that sheep took other sheep with it, and came to those sheep which had fallen away, and began to slay them; and the sheep feared its presence, and thus that sheep brought back those sheep that had fallen away, and they returned to their folds.
36ወርኢኩ፡ በህየ፡ ራእይ፡ እስከ፡ ውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ኮነ፡ ብእሴ፡ ወሐነጸ፡ ቤተ፡ ለእግዚአ፡ አባግዕ፡ ወለኵሎሙ፡ አባግዕ፡ አቀሞሙ፡ በውእቱ፡ ቤት።
36And I saw in this vision till that sheep became a man and built a house for the Lord of the sheep, and placed all the sheep in that house.
37ወርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ ሰከበ፡ ውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘተራከቦ፡ ለዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘመርሖሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ወርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ ተሀጕሉ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ አባግዕ፡ ዐቢያን፡ ወንኡሳን፡ ተንሥኡ፡ ህየንቴሆሙ፡ ወቦኡ፡ ውስተ፡ መርዔት፡ ወቀርቡ፡ ኀበ፡ ፈለገ፡ ማይ።
37And I saw till this sheep which had met that sheep which led them fell asleep: and I saw till all the great sheep perished and little ones arose in their place, and they came to a pasture, and approached a stream of water.
38ወዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘይመርሖሙ፡ ወዘኮነ፡ ብእሴ፡ ተሌለየ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ወሰከበ፡ ወኵሎሙ፡ አባግዕ፡ ኀሠሥዎ፡ ወጸርሑ፡ ዲቤሁ፡ ዐቢየ፡ ጽራሐ።
38Then that sheep, their leader which had become a man, withdrew from them and fell asleep, and all the sheep sought it and cried over it with a great crying.
39ወርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ አርመሙ፡ እምጽራሑ፡ ለዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ወኀለፍዎ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ውሒዘ፡ ማይ፡ ወቆሙ፡ አባግዕ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ እለ፡ ይመርሕዎሙ፡ ተክሎሙ፡ ለእለ፡ ሰከቡ፡ ወመርሕዎሙ።
39And I saw till they left off crying for that sheep and crossed that stream of water, and there arose the two sheep as leaders in the place of those which had led them and fallen asleep (lit. “had fallen asleep and led them”).
40ወርኢኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ እስከ፡ ይበውኡ፡ ውስተ፡ መካን፡ ሠናይ፡ ወምድር፡ ሐዋዝ፡ ወስብሕት፡ ወርኢኩ፡ እልኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ እስከ፡ ጸግቡ፡ ወውእቱ፡ ቤት፡ ማእከሎሙ፡ በምድር፡ ሐዋዝ።
40And I saw till the sheep came to a goodly place, and a pleasant and glorious land, and I saw till those sheep were satisfied; and that house stood amongst them in the pleasant land.
41ወቦ፡ ሶበ፡ ይትከሠታ፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ፡ ወቦ፡ ኀበ፡ ይጼለሉ፡ እስከ፡ ተንሥአ፡ ካልእ፡ በግዕ፡ ወመርሖሙ፡ ወአግብኦሙ፡ ለኵሎሙ፡ ወተከሥታ፡ አዕይንቲሆሙ።
41And sometimes their eyes were opened, and sometimes blinded, till another sheep arose and led them and brought them all back, and their eyes were opened.
42ወአኀዙ፡ አክላብ፡ ወቈናጽል፡ ወሐራውያ፡ ሐቅል፡ ይብልዕዎሙ፡ ለእልኩ፡ አባግዕ፡ እስከ፡ ተንሥአ፡ ካልእ፡ በግዕ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ዘይመርሖሙ።
42And the dogs and the foxes and the wild boars began to devour those sheep till the Lord of the sheep raised up [another sheep] a ram from their midst, which led them.
43ወዝኩ፡ ሐርጌ፡ አኀዘ፡ ይውጋእ፡ እም፡ ዝየ፡ ወእም፡ ዝየ፡ እልክተ፡ አክላበ፡ ወቈናጽለ፡ ወሐራውያ፡ ገዳም፡ እስከ፡ ለኵሎሙ፡ አህጐሎሙ።
43And that ram began to butt on either side those dogs, foxes, and wild boars till he had destroyed them †all†.
44ወውእቱ፡ በግዕ፡ ተፈትሐ፡ አዕይንቲሁ፡ ወርእየ፡ ዝኰ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ዘማእከለ፡ አባግዕ፡ ዘኀደገ፡ ስብሐቶ፡ ወአኀዘ፡ ይጕድኦሙ፡ ለእሙንቱ፡ አባግዕ፡ ወኬዶሙ፡ ወሖረ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ ተድላ።
44And that sheep whose eyes were opened saw that ram, which was amongst the sheep, till it †forsook its glory† and began to butt those sheep, and trampled upon them, and behaved itself unseemly.
45ወእግዚኦሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ፈነዎ፡ ለበግዕ፡ ኀበ፡ ካልእ፡ በግዕ፡ ወአንሥኦ፡ ከመ፡ ይኩን፡ ሐርጌ፡ ወይምርሖሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ህየንተ፡ ዝኩ፡ በግዕ፡ ዘኀደገ፡ ስብሐቶ።
45And the Lord of the sheep sent the lamb to another lamb and raised it to being a ram and leader of the sheep instead of that ram which had †forsaken its glory†.
46ወሖረ፡ ኀቤሁ፡ ወተናገሮ፡ ለባሕቲቱ፡ ወአንሥኦ፡ ለውእቱ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ወገብሮ፡ መኰንነ፡ ወመራሔ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ወበኵሉ፡ ዝ፡ እልክቱ፡ አክላብ፡ ያጽሕብዎሙ፡ ለአባግዕ።
46And it went to it and spake to it alone, and raised it to being a ram, and made it the prince and leader of the sheep; but during all these things those dogs oppressed the sheep.
47ወሐርጌ፡ ቀዳማዊ፡ ሰደዶ፡ ለዝኩ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ደኃራዊ፡ ወተንሥአ፡ ዝኩ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ደኃራዊ፡ ወነፍጸ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ገጹ፡ ወርኢኩ፡ እስከ፡ አውደቅዎ፡ እልኩ፡ አክላብ፡ ለሐርጌ፡ ቀዳማዊ።
47And the first ram pursued that second ram, and that second ram arose and fled before it; and I saw till those dogs pulled down the firsts ram.
48ወተንሥአ፡ ዝኩ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ደኃራዊ፡ ወመርሖሙ፡ ለአባግዕ፡ ንኡሳን፡ ወዝ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ደኃራዊ፡ ወለደ፡ አባግዐ፡ ብዙኃነ፡ ወሰከበ፡ ወበግዕ፡ ንኡስ፡ ኮነ፡ ሐርጌ፡ ህየንቴሁ፡ ወኮነ፡ መኰንነ፡ ወመራሔ፡ ለእልክቱ፡ አባግዕ።
48And that second ram arose and led the [little] sheep. And that ram begat many sheep and fell asleep; and a little sheep became ram in its stead, and became prince and leader of those sheep.

49And those sheep grew and multiplied; but all the dogs, and foxes, and wild boars feared and fled before it, and that ram butted and killed the wild beasts, and those wild beasts had no longer any power among the sheep and robbed them no more of aught.

50And that house became great and broad, and it was built for those sheep: ‹and› a tower lofty and great was built on the house for the Lord of the sheep, and that house was low, but the tower was elevated and lofty, and the Lord of the sheep stood on that tower and they offered a full table before Him.

51And again I saw those sheep that they again erred and went many ways, and forsook that their house, and the Lord of the sheep called some from amongst the sheep and sent them to the sheep, but the sheep began to slay them.

52And one of them was saved and was not slain, and it sped away and cried aloud over the sheep; and they sought to slay it, but the Lord of the sheep saved it from the sheep, and brought it up to me, and caused it to dwell there.

53And many other sheep He sent to those sheep to testify unto them and lament over them.

54And after that I saw that when they forsook the house of the Lord and His tower they fell away entirely, and their eyes were blinded; and I saw the Lord of the sheep how He wrought much slaughter amongst them in their herds until those sheep invited that slaughter and betrayed His place.

55And He gave them over into the hands of the lions and tigers, and wolves and hyenas, and into the hand of the foxes, and to all the wild beasts, and those wild beasts began to tear in pieces those sheep.

56And I saw that He forsook that their house and their tower and gave them all into the hand of the lions, to tear and devour them, into the hand of all the wild beasts.

57And I began to cry aloud with all my power, and to appeal to the Lord of the sheep, and to represent to Him in regard to the sheep that they were devoured by all the wild beasts.

58But He remained unmoved, though He saw it, and rejoiced that they were devoured and swallowed and robbed, and left them to be devoured in the hand of all the beasts.

59And He called seventy shepherds, and cast those sheep to them that they might pasture them, and He spake to the shepherds and their companions: “Let each individual of you pasture the sheep henceforward, and everything that I shall command you that do ye.

60And I will deliver them over unto you duly numbered, and tell you which of them are to be destroyed—and them destroy ye.” And He gave over unto them those sheep.

61And He called another and spake unto him: “Observe and mark everything that the shepherds will do to those sheep; for they will destroy more of them than I have commanded them.

62And every excess and the destruction which will be wrought through the shepherds, record (namely) how many they destroy according to my command, and how many according to their own caprice: record against every individual shepherd all the destruction he effects.

63And read out before me by number how many they destroy, and how many they deliver over for destruction, that I may have this as a testimony against them, and know every deed of the shepherds, that I may comprehend and see what they do, whether or not they abide by my command which I have commanded them.

64But they shall not know it, and thou shalt not declare it to them, nor admonish them, but only record against each individual all the destruction which the shepherds effect each in his time, and lay it all before me.”

65And I saw till those shepherds pastured in their season, and they began to slay and to destroy more than they were bidden, and they delivered those sheep into the hand of the lions.

66And the lions and tigers ate and devoured the greater part of those sheep, and the wild boars ate along with them; and they burnt that tower and demolished that house.

67And I became exceedingly sorrowful over that tower because that house of the sheep was demolished, and afterwards I was unable to see if those sheep entered that house.

68And the shepherds and their associates delivered over those sheep to all the wild beasts, to devour them, and each one of them received in his time a definite number: it was written by the other in a book how many each one of them destroyed of them.
69ወፈድፋደ፡ እምሥርዐቶሙ፡ አሐደ፡ አሐደ፡ ይቀትል፡ ወያሀጕል፡ ወአነ፡ አኀዝኩ፡ እብኪ፡ ወአዕዊ፡ በብዙኀ፡ ጥቀ፡ በእንተ፡ እልኩ፡ አባግዕ።
69And each one slew and destroyed many more than was prescribed; and I began to weep and lament on account of those sheep.

70And thus in the vision I saw that one who wrote how he wrote down every one that was destroyed by those shepherds, day by day, and carried up and laid down and showed actually the whole book to the Lord of the sheep—(even) everything that they had done, and all that each one of them had made away with, and all that they had given over to destruction.

71And the book was read before the Lord of the sheep, and He took the book from his hand and read it and sealed it and laid it down.

72And forthwith I saw how the shepherds pastured for twelve hours, and behold three of those sheep turned back and came and entered and began to build up all that had fallen down of that house; but the wild boars tried to hinder them, but they were not able.

73And they began again to build as before, and they reared up that tower, and it was named the high tower; and they began again to place a table before the tower, but all the bread on it was polluted and not pure.

74And as touching all this the eyes of those sheep were blinded so that they saw not, and (the eyes of) their shepherds likewise; and they delivered them in large numbers to their shepherds for destruction, and they trampled the sheep with their feet and devoured them.
75ወእግዚአ፡ አባግዕ፡ አርመመ፡ እስከነ፡ ተዘርዘሩ፡ ኵሉ፡ አባግዕ፡ ገዳመ፡ ወተደመሩ፡ ምስሌሆሙ፡ ወኢያድኀንዎሙ፡ እምእደ፡ አራዊት።
75And the Lord of the sheep remained unmoved till all the sheep were dispersed over the field and mingled with them (i. e. the beasts), and they (i. e. the shepherds) did not save them out of the hand of the beasts.

76And this one who wrote the book carried it up, and showed it and read it before the Lord of the sheep, and implored Him on their account, and besought Him on their account as he showed Him all the doings of the shepherds, and gave testimony before Him against all the shepherds.
77ወነሢኦ፡ አንበረ፡ ኀቤሁ፡ ኪያሁ፡ መጽሐፈ፡ ወወፅአ።
77And he took the actual book and laid it down beside Him and departed.
