1 "And when these had become silent there rose up the priest who gave us the Commandments, with the fear of God, and he shed tears whilst our bodies quaked and our tears flowed down. God is indeed, without falsehood, in our hearts, and He dwelleth in His commandment. And His commandment is uttered, and it removeth itself not from those who love Him and who keep His commandment, and He is with them continually. And now, hearken to the judgment and laws which the elders and the sons of the mighty men of Israel brought, which they wrote before King Solomon and have given unto us, so that we may not turn aside either to the right hand or to the left from what they have commanded us. And also they told us and made us to understand that we bear death and life, and that we are like unto a man who hath fire in his left hand and water in his right, and who can put his hand into whichever he pleaseth. For punishment and life are written therein; for those who have done evil, punishment, and for those who have done good, life." And 'Elmeyas and Azariah brought forth that writing which was written before God and before the King of Israel, and they read it before Makeda and before the great men of Israel. And when they heard these words all those who were round about, both small and great, bowed down and made obeisance, and they glorified God Who had made them hear these words and had given them this commandment, so that they might perform the justice and judgment of God. And moreover, He made them members of His house, for Zion was among them, and she is the habitation of the glory of God, and she delivered them from all evil, and blessed the fruit of their lands, and multiplied their sheep and cattle, and blessed their wells of water, and blessed their labours, and the fruit of their gardens, and made their children to grow up, and protected their aged men, and became the foreguard and rearguard wheresoever they dwelt, and vanquished their enemies wheresoever they went. And all the people of Ethiopia rejoiced. And the Queen said unto her son, "My son, God hath given unto thee the right, walk thou therein and withdraw not thyself from it, neither to the right hand nor the left. And love thou the Lord thy God, for He is merciful unto the simple-minded. For His way is known from His commandment, and His goodness is comprehended through the guidance of His word." Then she turned towards 'Elmeyas and Azariah and all the mighty men of Israel [saying], "Do ye protect him and teach him the path of the kingdom of God, and the honour of our Lady Zion. And whatsoever our Lady loveth not let us not do. Tell us [this] truly and carefully for ever and from generation to generation, so that she may not be wroth with us, if we do not perform her service well, so that God may dwell with us. And thou, my son, hearken unto the word of thy fathers, and walk in their counsel. And let not drink make thee foolish, nor women, nor pride of apparel, nor the bridles and trappings of horses, nor the sight of the weapons of war of those who are at the head or at the rear. But let thy confidence be in God and in Zion, the Tabernacle of the Law of God, thy Creator, so that thou mayest vanquish thine enemy, and so that thy seed upon the earth may multiply, and so that thy foes and adversaries, near and far, may be overthrown." And those sons of mighty men answered and said with one voice, "O our Lady, we are with you always, and we will remember the lord, the King. Behold, what is written and the performance thereof shall take place if the God of Israel shall be unto him a helper, and if he hearkeneth to the word of his mother; and we will inform him about the path of doing good works. For there is no one to be found in these days as wise as thyself, except our lord the King. Thou hast drawn us hither as thy servants with our Lady, the heavenly Zion, the Tabernacle of the Law of the Lord our God, just as a man draweth a camel that is loaded with valuable possessions with a little piece of thin, tough cord fastened over his nose. And now, reject us not and treat us not as strange people, but make us like unto thy slaves who wash thy feet, for whether we die or whether we live we are with thee; we have no longer any hope in the country of our birth, but only in thee and in our Lady, the heavenly Zion, the habitation of the glory of God." አርመሙ ፡ እሉ ፡ ተንሥአ ፡ ካህን ፡ ዘይኤዝዘነ ፡ ዘምስለ ፡ ፍርሀተ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወአንብዕ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ትርዕድ ፡ ከርሥነ ፡ ወትውኅዝ ፡ አንብዕነ ፤ ውስተ ፡ ልብነ ፡ በአማንኬ ፡ ወኢኮነ ፡ ሐሰተ ፡ ህልው ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወይነብር ፡ ውስተ ፡ ትእዛዙ ፡ ወነጊረ ፡ ትእዛዙ ፡ ኢያአትት ፡ እምእለ ፡ ያፈቅርዎ ፡ ወየዐቅቡ ፡ ትእዛዞ ፡ ይሄሉ ፡ ወትረ ፡ ምስሌሆሙ ። ወይእዜኒአ ፡ ስምዕዮሙአ ፡ እሉ ፡ መላህቅት ፡ ወደቂቀ ፡ ኀያላነ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ዘአምጽኡ ፡ ኵነኔ ፡ ወፍትሐ ፡ ዘጸሐፉ ፡ በቅድመ ፡ ንጉሥ ፡ ሰሎሞን ፡ ወወሀቡነ ፡ ከመ ፡ ኢንትገሐሥ ፡ ኢለየማን ፡ ወኢለፀጋም ፡ እምዘ ፡ አዘዙነ ፤ ወካዕበ ፡ ይቤሉነ ፡ ወአለበዉነ ፡ ከመ ፡ ነሣእነ ፡ ሞተ ፡ ወሕይወተ ፡ ወከመ ፡ ብእሲ ፡ ዘቦቱ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ፀጋሙ ፡ እሳት ፡ ወውስተ ፡ የማኑ ፡ ማይ ፡ ወኀበ ፡ ይፈቅድ ፡ ይወዲ ፡ እዴሁ ፤ እስመ ፡ መቅሠፍት ፡ ወሕይወት ፡ ጽሑፍ ፡ ውስቴቱ ፡ ለእለ ፡ ገብርዋ ፡ ለእኪት ፡ መቅሠፍት ፡ ወለእለ ፡ ገብርዋ ፡ ለሠናይት ፡ ሕይወት ፠ ወአውፅኡ ፡ ኤልምያስ ፡ ወአዛርያስ ፡ ይእቲ ፡ መጽሐፈ ፡ እንተ ፡ ተጽሕፈት ፡ በቅድመ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወበቅድመ ፡ ንጉሠ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ወአንበብዋ ፡ በቅድመ ፡ መክዳ ፡ ወበቅድመ ፡ ዐበይተ ፡ እስራኤል ። ወሶበ ፡ ሰምዑ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ቃላተ ፡ ሰገዱ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ ኵሎሙ ፡ እለ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ዐውድ ፡ ንኡሶሙ ፡ ወዐቢዮሙ ፡ ወገነዩ ፡ ወሰብሑ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ ለዘ ፡ አስምዖሙ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ቃለ ፡ ወወሀቦሙ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ትእዛዘ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይግበሩ ፡ ፍትሐ ፡ ወኵነኔሁ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፤ ወዓዲ ፡ ረሰዮሙ ፡ ሰብአ ፡ ቤቱ ፡ እስመ ፡ ሀለወት ፡ ጽዮን ፡ ማእከሌሆሙ ፡ ወማኅደረ ፡ ስብሐቲሁ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ እንተ ፡ ታድኅኖሙ ፡ እምኵሉ ፡ እኩይ ፡ ወትባርክ ፡ ፍሬ ፡ ምድሮሙ ፡ ወታበዝኅ ፡ እንስሳሆሙ ፡ ወትባርክ ፡ አንቅዕተ ፡ ማያቲሆሙ ፡ ወትባርክ ፡ ተግባሮሙ ፡ ወፍሬ ፡ አትክልቲሆሙ ፡ ወታልህቅ ፡ ውሉዶሙ ፡ ተዐቅብ ፡ ርሡኣኒሆሙ ፡ ወትከውኖሙ ፡ ፍጽመ ፡ ወኳላ ፡ ኀበ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ዘኀደሩ ፡ ወይመውኡ ፡ ፀሮሙ ፡ በኵሉ ፡ ኀበ ፡ ሖሩ ። ወተፈሥሑ ፡ ኵሎሙ ፡ ሰብአ ፡ ኢትዮጵያ ፠ ወንግሥትኒ ፡ ትቤሎ ፡ ለወልዳ ፡ ወልድየ ፡ ወሀበከ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ርትዐ ፡ ወሖር ፡ ባቲ ፡ ወኢትትገሐሥ ፡ ኢለየማን ፡ ወኢለፀጋም ፤ ወአፍቅር ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ፡ እስመ ፡ መሓሪ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ለየዋሃን ፡ እስመ ፡ እምትእዛዙ ፡ ይትዐወቅ ፡ ፍኖቱ ፡ ወእምአምርሕተ ፡ ነገሩ ፡ ይትአመር ፡ ኂሩቱ ። ወተመይጠት ፡ ኀቤሆሙ ፡ ለኤልምያስ ፡ ወአዛርያ ፡ ወለኵሎሙ ፡ ኀያላነ ፡ እስራኤል ፤ አንትሙ ፡ ዕቀብዎ ፡ ወመሀርዎ ፡ ፍኖተ ፡ ለመንግሥተ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወአክብሮታ ፡ ለጽዮን ፡ እግዝእትነ ፡ ወለኵሉ ፡ ዘኢታፈቅር ፡ እግዝእትነ ፡ ኢንግበር ፡ ንግሩነ ፡ በአስተጠናቅቆ ፡ ለዓለም ፡ ለትውልደ ፡ ትውልድ ፡ ከመ ፡ ኢትትመዐዐነ ፡ ለእመ ፡ ኢያሠነይነ ፡ ግብራ ፡ ወእግዚኣብሔርኒ ፡ ከመ ፡ ይኅድር ፡ ምስሌነ ፤ ወአንተኒ ፡ ኦወልድየ ፡ ስማዕ ፡ ቃለ ፡ አበዊከ ፡ ወሖር ፡ በምክሮሙ ፡ ኢያእብድከ ፡ ስታይ ፡ ወኢአንስት ፡ ወኢአስተምክሖ ፡ አልባስ ፡ ወአልጕሞ ፡ አፍራስ ፡ ኢነጽሮ ፡ ንዋየ ፡ ሐቅል ፡ ዘቅድም ፡ ወዘድኅር ፡ አላ ፡ ይኩን ፡ ትውክልትከ ፡ በእግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወበጽዮን ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ ፈጣሪከ ፡ ከመ ፡ ትማዕ ፡ ፀርከ ፡ ወይብዛኅ ፡ ዘርአከ ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ፡ ወይግረሩ ፡ ጸላእትከ ፡ ወፀርከ ፡ ዘቅሩብ ፡ ወዘርሑቅ ፠ ወእሙንቱኒ ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ ኀይል ፡ አውሥኡ ፡ በአሐዱ ፡ ቃል ፡ ወይቤሉ ፡ ንሕነሰ ፡ እግዝእትነ ፡ ምስሌክሙ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ጊዜ ፡ ወንዜከሮ ፡ ለእግዚእ ፡ ንጉሥ ፡ ናሁ ፡ ዘጽሑፍ ፡ ወገቢርሰ ፡ እንዘ ፡ አምላከ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ይከውኖ ፡ ረዳኤ ፡ ወነገረ ፡ እሙ ፡ ይሰምዕ ፡ ወንንግሮ ፡ ፍኖታ ፡ ለምግባረ ፡ ሠናይ ፤ እስመ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዘይትረከብ ፡ በዝ ፡ መዋዕል ፡ በጥበብ ፡ ዘእንበለ ፡ እግዚእነ ፡ ንጉሥ ፡ ዘከማኪ ፡ ሰሐብክነ ፡ ዝየ ፡ ከመ ፡ አግብርትኪ ፡ ምስለ ፡ እግዝእትነ ፡ ጽዮን ፡ ሰማያዊት ፡ ታቦተ ፡ ሕጉ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፡ አምላክነ ፡ በከመ ፡ ይስሕብዎ ፡ ለገመል ፡ ዘጽዑን ፡ ንዋየ ፡ ክብር ፡ በንስቲት ፡ ቀጢን ፡ ፈትለ ፡ ኢዊጥ ፡ እንተ ፡ ኢትትበተክ ፡ ዲበ ፡ አንፉ ፡ ዝማማት ፤ ወይእዜኒ ፡ ኢትትሀየዩነ ፡ ወኢትረስዩነ ፡ ከመ ፡ ነግድ ፡ ባዕድ ፡ አላ ፡ ረስዩነ ፡ ከመ ፡ አግብርቲክሙ ፡ እለ ፡ የኀፅቡ ፡ እገሪክሙ ፡ እስመ ፡ ንሕነሰ ፡ እመኒ ፡ ሞትነ ፡ ወእመኒ ፡ ሐየውነ ፡ ምስሌክሙ ፡ ወአልብነ ፡ ተስፋ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ብሔረ ፡ ሙላድነ ፡ ዘእንበለ ፡ ኀቤክሙ ፡ ወእግዝእትነ ፡ ጽዮን ፡ ቅድስት ፡ ሰማያዊት ፡ ማኅደረ ፡ ስብሐቲሁ ፡ ለእግዚኣብሔር ፠ ፠ ፠
