This book is part of the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but is not recognized by Protestant, Catholic, or non-Ethiopian Eastern Orthodox traditions. It is one of the three books of Meqabyan (sometimes called the 'Ethiopian Maccabees'), which are distinct from the Maccabees books found in the Septuagint and Vulgate. Although it shares the name, it has no direct relation to the Jewish Maccabean revolt. The text presents parallels with Deuteronomistic themes: sin, punishment, repentance, and restoration, along with a strong emphasis on the resurrection of the dead.
II Meqabyan
Chapter 11
Think of JAH slave Mussie who weren't annoyed when him kept around this kindred in him humbleness and him prayer and whom not even one person destroyed - and him begged toward JAH in him innocence to him sista and bredda who backbit him and loved that JAH might destroy them while him said - "As them have wronged Thee-I - Lord - pardon and don't neglect thy kindreds" - and him atoned them sin to them - yet Him thought of JAH servant Mussie who weren't annoyed.
"To I-man have wronged Thee-I - and forgive I Thy slave who am a sinner - to Thou are Merciful - and to Thou are a Pardoner - and forgive them them sin."
and Mussie likewise atoned them sin to him sista and bredda who backbit him.
and because this thing him were called innocent.
and JAH totally loved him more than all the priests childran who were him bredren - to Him I-point the priests - and JAH made him like unto Him Ras Self alongside them.
But Him also sank beneath Earth Qorie childran who challenged ~ Him lowered them toward See'ol with them livestocks and them tents when them said "We are there - we are there in flesh and soul" ~ as him Creator JAH have loved him - and as him didn't depart from Him Command - all the word him spoke would be done to him like unto JAH Word.
and unless thou demolished JAH Command likewise - JAH will do thy accord to thee-I and will love thy thing to thee-I - and Him will keep thy Kingdom to thee-I.
and 'Asaf and Qorie childran who departed from Mussie command grumbled on him because him told them - "Straighten up your reasonins to be ruled to JAH."
Them grumbled sayin - "How about aren't we Liewee childran who work priesthood Work in Tent that were special?"
Them went and smoked up ishence seizin them censers that them might smoke up - but JAH didn't accept them plea - and them were burnt by the fire in them censers - and them melted like unto the wax that fire melt - and not even one person remained from them ~ as Him have said - Them censers were honoured by them bodies bein burnt - apart from them censers that entered toward JAH Lodgin to JAH Command - neither them clothes nor them bones remained.
Because this thing JAH told 'Aron and Mussie - Gather them censers toward the Tent ~ make it be a instrumant to I Lodgin wherefor I-man prepared all Iginnin from outside up til within.
and him prepared the honoured Tent instrumants ~ him prepared the rings and the joiners - Keerubiel picture sea.
Him worked the cups - the curtains - the Tent area grounds to the mobilisation - the altar and the jugs whereby them sacrifice in the Tent that were special.
Them sacrificed the sacrifice that them sacrifice by them accord - the sacrifice whereby welfare are made - the sacrifice whereby Him atone sin - and the vow sacrifice and the mornin and the evenin sacrifice.
All that Him commanded to Mussie - him commanded them in the Tent that were special - that them might work Work in she.
Them didn't scorn bein ruled to them Creator JAH - that Him Name might be praised by them in the LAW Lodgin Tent of them Creator JAH Who gave them a promise that Him might give them to give them them fathers inheritance that produce honey and milk that Him swore to 'Abriham.
Them didn't scorn bein ruled to them Creator JAH - Who swore to Yis'haq and firmed up Him Worship to Ya`iqob...
and Who firmed up to 'Aron and Mussie the Tent where Him Worship are kept...
and Who firmed up Him Worship to both 'Elyas and Samu'iel in the Temple and Tent that Selomon worked up til it became JAH Lodgin in 'Iyerusaliem - and up til JAH Name Lodgin became JAH Lodgin that honoured 'Isra'iel.
to she are a supplication - and to she are a sin atonemant where it are overturned to them who live in innocence and to the priests.
and to she are a place to persons who do Him Accord where Him will hear them pleas...
and JAH LAW Canstruction that honoured 'Isra'iel.
to she are where sacrifice are sacrificed and where Ishence are smoked up that JAH Who honoured 'Isra'iel be in goodly Fragrance.
and Him would speak bein on the joiner where Him forgive in the Tent that were special ~ JAH Light would be revealed to Ya`iqob childran whom Him chose and to friends who live firmed up in Him LAW and Him Command.
But persons who ignored JAH LAW will be like unto Qorie childran whom Earth sank - and likewise sinner persons have that them might enter toward Gehannem that have no exits up til Eternity.
