1 As David prophesied by the mouth of the Holy Spirit, saying, "With Thee was the headship on the day of might." [*1] Now what do these words, "day of might" mean? Is it not the day whereon Christ, the Word of the Father, created heaven and earth? For Moses saith in the beginning of the Book, "In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth." [*2] Understand then "In the beginning" meaneth "in Christ"; the interpretation of "beginning" is Christ. John the Apostle, the son of Zebedee, saith concerning Christ, "This is the first (or, beginning) Whom we have heard and seen, Whom we have known, and Whom our hands have felt." [*3] And we will relate unto you how we have a portion with Him, and ye who believe our words shall have a portion with us. And Luke the disciple saith in the Acts of the Apostles, "In the beginning we make speech concerning everything," [*4] and this that he saith [sheweth] that Christ was the redemption of all, and we believe in Him. And Mark the Evangelist in the beginning of his Book wrote, saying, "The beginning of the Gospel is Jesus Christ, the Son of God" [*5]; and these words mean that Christ was the glad tidings for the Prophets and the Apostles, and that we all have participated in His grace. And again John the Evangelist wrote, saying, "In the beginning was the Word, and that Word was with God"; and in another place his word showeth [this] plainly, and he saith, "And likewise in the beginning was God the Word." [*6] And now observe that that Word of the Father is Christ, whereby He made the heavens and the earth and every created thing. It is He Who created, and without Him nothing that came came into being, nothing whatsoever: "He spake, and they came into being; He commanded, and they were created." [*1] And the third glorious thing, hearken [to it]: "Through the breath of His mouth He created all their host." [*2] This maketh manifest the Holy Spirit, Who is clearly referred to. And what shall we say? Let us weep for them. Woe be unto the Jews and unto the pagans ('Arami) who have wandered from the truth and have refused to submit to the love of God, with which in His goodness He hath loved man. For after Adam was rejected through his sin He saved him by the greatness of His mercy, being crucified on the wood of the Cross, His hands being pierced with nails. With His palm stretched out in humility, and His head bowed on one side, for our sakes He, to Whom suffering was unfitting. suffered in the everlasting majesty of His Godhead. He died that He might destroy death; He suffered exhaustion that He might give strength to the wearied being of dust; athirst He drank vinegar, He was crowned with a crown of thorns; He feared not and was not ashamed of the contumely and hatred and spitting of the polluted Jews. He suffered beating, He was buffeted with fists, He was pierced, He was transfixed with nails, He was reviled and mocked, being God and the King of Death, and the Bestower of glory, and because of this He endured patiently all disgrace. Wearied and miserable, they made Him sad when they rejected Him and hated Him; but strong and glorious, what could sadden Him when they brought false charges against Him? For He Himself knew His Godhead, and He knew His glory, and He knew Himself. And there was none who knew Him, for He was the Creator of everything. And if they had known Him they would not have crucified the Lord of praise (or, glory). And He said in His mercy, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." [*1] They likened their Creator to something that had been created, and they slew a sojourner who did not belong to mortal creatures, and He was not a thing that had been made with the hand. But He Himself was the Maker, and He Himself was the Creator, Light of Light, God of God, Son of the Father, Jesus Christ. He was the Refuge, He was the Feeder, He was the Director; He, Whose domain was above what is on high, and above everything, abased Himself. Even as Isaiah, the man of keen words among the Prophets, saith, "He was a humble man, and His appearance was rejected, like a root He hid Himself in parched ground, He came in the flesh, a being of the earth, [though He was] the Sustainer of the universe and the Saviour of the universe." [*2] And David ascribeth beauty to Him, saying, "On Thy beauty [*3] and in Thy goodliness of form." And again he saith, "His form is more goodly than that of the children of men." And again he saith, "Graciousness is poured forth from Thy lips." And again he saith, "Direct aright with prosperity, and reign through righteousness, and justice, and sincerity." [*4] And again he saith concerning the Jews, the enemies of the truth, "Thine arrows are sharp and strong in the hearts of the haters of the King"; [*5] "it is right that they should transfix their hearts," He saith "unto those who did not wish Me to be King, and they shall be brought before Me and pierced" [with spears]. And again Isaiah saith concerning the Jews, "I have sought for them and found them not; I have called unto them and they have not answered Me; I have loved them and they have hated Me." [*6] And again David saith, "They returned unto me evil for good, and they hated me in return for my love for them." [*7] And again Isaiah saith, "With their lips they profess love for Me, but in their hearts they keep afar from Me and their worshipping of Me is an empty thing." [*1] And as Moses saith, "They have moved Me to wrath with their gods, and I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a nation, for they are a people whose counsel is destroyed." [*2] And those who said, "We have no Law," unto them hath the Law been given, for God is the Giver of the Law unto every one. And God rewarded the Jews according to their wickedness, and He treated the Gentiles according to their simplicity. For He is merciful and compassionate to those who call upon Him and who take refuge in Him, and who purify themselves from all uncleanness in the Church and in the Tabernacle of the Law of God; and He loveth those who weep and repent even as Stephen, [One] of the Seventy Disciples saith. [*3] Now among the Seventy Disciples there were seven who were chosen for service with the Twelve Apostles, to perform service with Sins, and Barnabas, and Mark and Luke and Paul. And this Stephen spake unto the Jews whilst he was standing up to martyrdom and the Jews were killing him, and said unto them as he showed them their folly in not having kept the commandment of God, "Ye have not kept the Torah according to the ordinance of the angels, as ye received it." And it saith in the Acts [of the Apostles], "When they heard this they went mad with anger and gnashed their teeth." [*4] Now hearken ye unto me. In his saying "Ye have not kept the Torah according to the order of the angels," [we have] a form and a [fore] shadowing of what is in the heavens that is to say, the heavenly and free Jerusalem, the habitation of the Most High, whereof the situation and construction are incomprehensible to mortal heart. And in it is the throne of the Most High, which is surrounded with fire, and four beasts bear it in their place, which is the sixth heaven. And a throne goeth up to the seventh heaven, the habitation of the Father, and there dwelleth He Who is with His Father and the Holy Spirit, Who vivifieth everything. And the Tabernacle of the Church is a similitude of the Jerusalem which is in the heavens, and the Church of the Gentiles is a similitude of the Jerusalem which is in the heavens. ዳዊት ፡ ተነበየ ፡ በአፈ ፡ መንፈስ ፡ ቅዱስ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይብል ፡ ምስሌከ ፡ ቀዳማዊ ፡ በዕለተ ፡ ኀይል ፤ ማእዜ ፡ ይእቲ ፡ ዕለተ ፡ ኀይል ፡ ብሂል ፤ አኮኑ ፡ አመ ፡ ፈጠረ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አብ ፡ ሰማየ ፡ ወምድረ ፤ እስመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ሙሴ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ርእሰ ፡ መጽሐፉ ፡ በቀዳሚ ፡ ገብረ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ሰማየ ፡ ወምድረ ፤ ለብዉኬ ፡ በቀዳሚ ፡ ብሂል ፡ በክርስቶስ ፡ ብሂል ፡ ቀዳሚ ፡ ትርጓሜሁ ፡ ክርስቶስ ። ይቤ ፡ ዮሐንስ ፡ ወልደ ፡ ዘብዴዎስ ፡ ሐዋርያ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ዝውእቱ ፡ ቀዳሚ ፡ ዘሰማዕነ ፡ ወዘርኢነ ፡ ወዘጠየቅነ ፡ ወዘገሰሳ ፡ እደዊነ ፡ ወንዜንወክሙ ፡ ከመ ፡ ኮነ ፡ ክፍልነ ፡ ምስሌሁ ፡ ወአንትሙኒ ፡ እለ ፡ አመንክሙ ፡ በቃልነ ፡ ትከውኑ ፡ ክፍለ ፡ ምስሌነ ። ወበከመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ሉቃስ ፡ ረድእ ፡ በግብረ ፡ ሐዋርያት ፡ ቀዳሚሁ ፡ ለነገር ፡ ገበርነ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ወዘንተ ፡ ዘይቤ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ኮነ ፡ ቤዛ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ወንሕነኒ ፡ አመነ ፡ ቦቱ ። ወማርቆስ ፡ ወንጌላዊ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ርእሰ ፡ መጽሐፉ ፡ ጸሐፈ ፡ ወይቤ ፡ ቀዳሚሁ ፡ ለወንጌል ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ወልደ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፤ ወዝንቱኒ ፡ ብሂል ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ስብከትኒ ፡ ለነቢያት ፡ ወሐዋርያት ፡ ወኀበርነ ፡ በጸጋሁ ። ወካዕበ ፡ ዮሐንስ ፡ ወንጌላዊ ፡ ጸሐፈ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይብል ፡ ቀዳሚሁ ፡ ቃል ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ወውእቱ ፡ ቃል ፡ ኀበ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ውእቱ ፤ ወዳግመ ፡ አጠየቀ ፡ ቃሎ ፡ ወይቤ ፡ ወከማሁ ፡ ቀዳሚሁ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ቃል ፤ ይእዜኒ ፡ ኬ ፡ ጠይቅ ፡ ከመ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አብ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ በዘ ፡ ቦቱ ፡ ገብረ ፡ ሰማየ ፡ ወምድረ ፡ ወኵሎ ፡ ፍጥረተ ፤ ውእቱ ፡ ፈጠረ ፡ ወዘእንበሌሁሰ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዘኮነ ፡ ወኢምንተኒ ፤ ይቤ ፡ ወኮኑ ፡ ወውእቱ ፡ አዘዘ ፡ ወተፈጥሩ ፡ ወሣልስ ፡ ክብር ፡ ስማዕ ፡ ወበእስትንፋሰ ፡ አፉሁ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ኀይሎሙ ፡ ዝኒ ፡ ያርኢ ፡ ለመንፈስ ፡ ቅዱስ ፡ ዘተብህለ ፡ ጥዩቀ ። ወምንተ ፡ ንብል ፤ ንብኪዮሙ ፡ አሌሆሙ ፡ ለአይሁድ ፡ ወለአረሚ ፡ እለ ፡ ዐውከኩ ፡ እምጽድቅ ፡ ወአበዩ ፡ ገኒየ ፡ ለፍቅረ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ እንተ ፡ አፍቀሮ ፡ ለሰብእ ፡ በኂሩቱ ፤ እስመ ፡ እምድኅረ ፡ ተገድፈ ፡ አዳም ፡ በዕልወቱ ፡ አድኀኖ ፡ በዕበየ ፡ ምሕረቱ ፡ ተሰቂሎ ፡ ዲበ ፡ ዕፀ ፡ መስቀል ፡ ወተቀኒዎ ፡ በቅንዋተ ፡ እደዊሁ ፤ ሰፊሖ ፡ እራሑ ፡ በትሕትና ፡ አጽኒኖ ፡ ርእሶ ፡ በእንቲአነ ፡ ሐመ ፡ ዘኢይደልዎ ፡ ሕማም ፡ በዕበየ ፡ መለኮቱ ፡ ዘለዓለም ፤ ሞተ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይስዐሮ ፡ ለሞት ፡ ደክመ ፡ ከመ ፡ ያጽንዖ ፡ ለድኩም ፡ መሬታዊ ፤ ጸሚኦ ፡ ሰሪቦ ፡ ብሒአ ፡ ተከሊሎ ፡ አክሊለ ፡ ሦክ ፡ ኢፈርሀ ፡ ወኢኀፈረ ፡ ኀሳረ ፡ ወጽዕለተ ፡ ወምራቀ ፡ ዘርኩሳን ፡ አይሁድ ፤ ተጸፍዐ ፡ ተኰርዐ ፡ ተረግዘ ፡ ተቀነወ ፡ ተፀርፈ ፡ ተጽዕለ ፡ እንዘ ፡ አምላክ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ወመላኬ ፡ ሞት ፡ ወወሃቤ ፡ ክብር ፡ ወበእንተዝኬ ፡ ተዐገሰ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ኀሳረ ፤ ድኩምሰ ፡ ወኅሱር ፡ ያሐዝኖ ፡ ሶበ ፡ መነንዎ ፡ ወጸዐልዎ ፡ ወለጽኑዕሰ ፡ ወለክቡር ፡ ምንተ ፡ ያሐዝኖ ፡ ለእመ ፡ ሐሰዉ ፡ ላዕሌሁ ፤ እስመ ፡ ለሊሁ ፡ ያአምር ፡ መለኮቶ ፡ ወያአምር ፡ ክብሮ ፡ ወያአምር ፡ ርእሶ ፤ ወሎቱሰ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዘያአምሮ ፡ እስመ ፡ ገባሬ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ወሶበሰ ፡ አእመሩ ፡ እመ ፡ ኢሰቀልዎ ፡ ለእግዚአ ፡ ስብሐት ፤ ወይቤ ፡ በምሕረቱ ፡ ስረይ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ አባ ፡ እስመ ፡ ዘኢያአምሩ ፡ ይገብሩ ፤ ፈጣሪሆሙ ፡ በፍጥረት ፡ ያመስሉ ፡ ወቀተሉ ፡ ፈላሴ ፡ ዘኢኮነ ፡ እምፍጥረተ ፡ መዋቲ ፡ ወኢኮነ ፡ እምዘ ፡ ተተገብረ ፡ በእድ ፡ አላ ፡ ውእቱሰ ፡ ለሊሁ ፡ ገባሪ ፡ ወለሊሁ ፡ ፈጣሪ ፡ ብርሃን ፡ ዘእምብርሃን ፡ አምላክ ፡ ዘእምአምላክ ፡ ወልድ ፡ ዘእምአብ ፡ ኢየሱስ ፡ ክርስቶስ ፤ ለሊሁ ፡ ምስካይ ፡ ለሊሁ ፡ መሴስይ ፡ ለሊሁ ፡ መጋቢ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ዘሀገሩ ፡ ላዕለ ፡ ዘልዑል ፡ መልዕልተ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ተትሕተ ። በከመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ኢሳይያስ ፡ በሊኀ ፡ ቃል ፡ እምነቢያት ፡ ትሑት ፡ ብእሲሁ ፡ ወራእዩ ፡ ምኑን ፡ ከመ ፡ ሥርው ፡ በምድር ፡ ጽምእት ፡ ተሰዊሮ ፡ መጽአ ፡ በሥጋ ፡ ምድራዊት ፡ አኃዜ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ወመድኀኔ ፡ ኵሉ ። ወዳዊትሰ ፡ ያስተሴንዮ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይብል ፡ በስንከ ፡ ወበላሕይከ ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ይሤኒ ፡ ላሕዩ ፡ እምውሉደ ፡ እጓለ ፡ እመሕያው ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ተክዕወ ፡ ሞገስ ፡ እምከናፍሪከ ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ አርትዕ ፡ ታሰራሕ ፡ ወንገሥ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ ወርትዕ ፡ ወየውሃት ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ በእንተ ፡ አይሁድ ፡ ፀራ ፡ ለጽድቅ ፡ አሕፃከ ፡ ስሑል ፡ ኀያል ፡ ውስተ ፡ ልቦሙ ፡ ለጸላእተ ፡ ንጉሥ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ልቦሙሰ ፡ ይረትዕ ፡ ይርግዝዎሙ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ለእለ ፡ ኢይፈቅዱ ፡ ያንግሡኒ ፡ ያምጽእዎሙ ፡ ቅድሜየ ፡ ወይርግዝዎሙ ። ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ኢሳይያስ ፡ በእንተ ፡ አይሁድ ፡ ኀሠሥክዎሙ ፡ ወኢረከብክዎሙ ፡ ጸዋዕክዎሙ ፡ ወኢተሰጥዉኒ ፡ ኣፍቀርክዎሙ ፡ ወጸልኡኒ ። ወካዕበ ፡ ዳዊትኒ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ፈደዩኒ ፡ እኪተ ፡ ህየንተ ፡ ሠናይት ፡ ወጸልኡኒ ፡ ህየንተ ፡ ዘኣፍቀርክዎሙ ። ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ኢሳይያስ ፡ በአፉሆሙ ፡ ያፈቅሩኒ ፡ ወበልቦሙሰ ፡ ነዋኀ ፡ ይርሕቁ ፡ እምኔየ ፡ ወከንቶ ፡ ያመልኩኒ ። ወበከመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ ሙሴ ፡ እሙንቱ ፡ አምዕዑኒ ፡ በአማልክቲሆሙ ፡ ወአነ ፡ ኣቀንኦሙ ፡ በዘ ፡ ኢኮነ ፡ ሕዝበ ፡ እስመ ፡ ሕዝብ ፡ ህጉላነ ፡ ምክር ፡ እሙንቱ ። ወእለሰ ፡ ይብሉ ፡ አልብነ ፡ ሕገ ፡ ተውህቦሙ ፡ ሕግ ፡ እስመ ፡ ለኵሉ ፡ ወሃቤ ፡ ሕግ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፤ ወፈደዮሙ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ በከመ ፡ እከዮሙ ፡ ለአይሁድ ፡ ወገብረ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ በከመ ፡ የውሃቶሙ ፡ ለአሕዛብ ፤ እስመ ፡ መሓሪ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ወመስተሣህል ፡ ለእለ ፡ ይጼውዕዎ ፡ ወይትመሐፀኑ ፡ ቦቱ ፡ ወያነጽሑ ፡ ርእሶሙ ፡ እምኵሉ ፡ ርኵስ ፡ በውስተ ፡ ቤተ ፡ ክርስቲያኑ ፡ ወበውስተ ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወእለ ፡ ይበክዩ ፡ ወይኔስሑ ፡ ያፈቅሮሙ ። በከመ ፡ ይቤ ፡ እስጢፋኖስ ፡ እምነ ፡ ፸ ፡ አርድእት ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ በውስተ ፡ ፸ ፡ ፈድፋደ ፡ ፯ ፡ እምኔሆሙ ፡ እለ ፡ ተኀርዩ ፡ ለግብር ፡ ምስለ ፡ ፲ወ፪ ፡ ሐዋርያት ፡ ለግብረ ፡ መልእክት ፡ ምስለ ፡ ሲላስ ፡ ወበርናባስ ፡ ወማርቆስ ፡ ወሉቃስ ፡ ወጳውሎስ ፤ ወውእቱ ፡ እስጢፋኖስ ፡ ይቤሎሙ ፡ ለአይሁድ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይቀውም ፡ ለስምዕ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይቀትልዎ ፡ ይቤሎሙ ፡ ለአይሁድ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ያርእዮሙ ፡ እበዶሙ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ዘኢዐቀቡ ፡ ትእዛዘ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ነሢአክሙ ፡ ኦሪተ ፡ በሥርዐተ ፡ መላእክት ፡ ኢዐቀብክሙ ፤ ወይቤ ፡ በግብር ፤ ሰሚዖሙ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ አብዱ ፡ ወሐቀዩ ፡ ስነኒሆሙ ። አፅምኡኒኬ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ዘይቤ ፡ ሥርዐተ ፡ መላእክት ፡ ኦሪተ ፡ ኢዐቀብክሙ ፡ አርአያሃ ፡ ወጽላሎታ ፡ ለእንተ ፡ በሰማይ ፡ እንተ ፡ በሰማይሰ ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም ፡ አግዓዚት ፡ ማኅደሩ ፡ ለልዑል ፡ እንተ ፡ ኢትትዐወቅ ፡ ኅብራ ፡ ወግብራ ፡ በልበ ፡ መዋቲ ፤ ወውስቴታ ፡ መንበሩ ፡ ለልዑል ፡ በእሳት ፡ ክሉል ፡ ወ፬ ፡ እንስሳ ፡ ይጸውሩ ፡ በውስተ ፡ መካኖሙ ፡ ዘውእቱ ፡ ሳድስ ፡ ሰማይ ፡ ወየዐርግ ፡ መንበር ፡ ለሳብዕ ፡ ሰማይ ፡ ማኅደረ ፡ አብ ፡ ወህየ ፡ ይነብር ፡ ዘሀሎ ፡ ምስለ ፡ አቡሁ ፡ ወመንፈሱ ፡ ቅዱስ ፡ ማሕየዌ ፡ ኵሉ ፤ ወአምሳለ ፡ መንበር ፡ ዘቅድስት ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም ፡ ዛቲ ፡ ይእቲ ፡ ታቦት ፡ ዘቤተ ፡ ክርስቲያን ፡ ወአምሳለ ፡ ኢየሩሳሌም ፡ እንተ ፡ በሰማያት ፡ ዛቲ ፡ ይእቲ ፡ ቤተ ፡ ክርስቲያን ፡ እንተ ፡ አሕዛብ ። ።
