🔊 LISTEN TO CHAPTER

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 21

1

Where are persons who gather a foreigner money that weren't them hands Work nor them money?

2

to them take a person money for free - and to them shll be gathered without knowin the day when them dead that shall arrive on them - however them quit them money for a foreigner.

3

to like unto them fathers - them are sinners kindreds who worry and seize sinners like unto them whether it be by theft or by robbery - and them childran won't be Feeling good by them fathers money.

4

As them have gathered to them in downgression - and as it are like unto misty urine and like unto the smoke that wind scattar and like unto wiltin grass - and like unto wax that melt arisin from before a fire - as sinners glory shall perish like unto that - there are none whom them fathers money will benefit ~ like unto Daweet spoke sayin - "I-man sight up a sinner man...

5

bein honoured and famed like unto a cordia and like unto a cypress - but on the time I-man returned I-man lacked him ~ I-man searched and didn't find him place" - there are none whom them fathers money will profit nor benefit.

6

Because them gathered a person money in downgression - it seemin to them that them won't dead - like unto persons who wrong them companions won't boast - sinner persons destruction are likewise at one time.

7

You lazy ones - think that you will perish and that your money will perish with you - and if your silver and your gold abound it shall be rusted.

8

and if you birth many childran them shall be to many graves - and if you work many houses them shall be demolished.

9

to you didn't fulfill your Creator JAH Accord - and if you multiply livestock them shall be for your enemies capture - and all the money you seized in your hands won't be found - to it have been what weren't blessed.

10

Whether it be in house or in forest - and be it in wilderness or a pasture place - and be it in grape threshinfloor or in grain threshinfloor - it won't be found.

11

Because you didn't keep JAH Command - as JAH won't save you with all your house hold from the tribulation - there shall be sadness on you arisin from all your enemies - yet you won't be Feeling good in your childran birthed from your nature.

12

But from Him plenty - Him won't trouble persons who kept Him Order and Him LAW ~ Him give all who begged Him - yet Him bless them childran birthed from them nature and also them land fruit to them.

13

and Him make them rulers on all peoples in them area that them might rule lest them be who are ruled - and Him give them all Him plenty in them pasture place.

14

Him bless to them all them seized in them hand - all them field fruit - and all them livestocks places - and Him make them Feeling good in them childran birthed from them nature.

15

and Him don't diminish them livestocks on them ~ Him save them from all them tribulation and from weariness and illness and destruction - and from them enemy them don't know and from him them know.

16

and Him will dispute to them in Judgemant time - and Him shall save them from a evil thing and from tribulation and from all who dispute them ~ in the first era if a priest lived who work the Tent Work - who keep the LAW and keep the Tent Order and live firmed up in JAH Accord - by the first Order and all the LAW as them would give him the tithe and what were birthed first Beginnin from man up til livestock - Him would save them from all the tribulation.

17

Like unto Mussie commanded Newie child 'Iyasu - there was a country of sanctuary in all them country ~ by not knowin and by knowin up til them judged judgemant on whom them canvicted and to whom them acquitted...

18

if a person lived who killed a soul - him would be measured there that him might be saved.

19

Him told them - "Examine in your reasonins that him have a quarrel with him formerly - and be it by axe or be it by a stone or be it by wood - as it have fallen from him hand by not knowin - if him say "That person on whom it fell dead on mi" - examine and save him ~ if him did it in not knowin make him be saved.

20

But if him do it knowin - him will raceive him hardship like unto him sin - and there are none who will pardon him; but if him kill him in not knowin - as him have done it in not knowin - examine and save him lest him dead.

21

Him worked to them that them might distance from all the sin - yet Mussie would work like unto this to 'Isra'iel childran lest them depart from JAH LAW.

22

Him commanded them that 'Adam childran - who live firmed up in JAH Command from worshippin idols and eatin what dead and lodged and what a sword bloated and cut - and who distance from all evil work like unto him worked to them - that them might work it and might totally distance from all that aren't due.

23

Him commanded them lest them depart from the Command Him worked to them in the Tent example in Heaven - that them might save them bodies and might find them lodgin with them fathers.

24

As them have been birthed from Siet and 'Adam who did JAH Accord - persons who believed in JAH Word and lived firmed up in Him Command will be called kind persons childran.

25

As I are 'Adam childran - as Him have Created I in Him Example and Him Appearance that I might work all goodly Work that make JAH Feeling good - Him won't scorn it.

26

As Him totally won't separate Him friends - if I work goodly Work - I shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven where are welfare with persons who work goodly Work.

27

Him totally love persons who beg him cleanly - and Him hear them in them prayer - and Him accept the repentance of persons who are disciplined and enter repentance ~ Him give firmness and Power to persons who keep Him Order and Him LAW and Him Command.

28

Persons who did Him Accord shall be Feeling good with Him in Him Kingdom forever - and whether them be persons who preceded or who arose later - them will present praise to Him Beginnin from today up til Eternity. Make glory due to JAH forever - and the secand Meqabyan arrived and were fulfilled.
