The Third Book of Meqabyan is one of the three deuterocanonical books of the Ethiopian tradition, not to be confused with the books of the Maccabees in the Catholic canon. Although it shares thematic similarities (struggle against sin and exhortation to the law of JAH), it is a distinct work, probably of Ethiopian Judeo-Christian origin. Only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church considers it canonical.
III Meqabyan
Chapter 3
But Him Created one thought to thee - that thou might totally praise while thou were sent toward where thy Creator sent thee.
But to 'Adam were given five thoughts that were evil and five thoughts that were goodly - ten thoughts.
and again him have many thoughts like unto sea waves - and like unto a whirl wind that scattar dust liftin up from Earth - and like unto the sea waves that shake - and arisin from him unnumbered thoughts abundance in him heart like unto unnumbered rain drops - 'Adam thoughts are like unto that.
But thy thought are one ~ as thou aren't fleshly - thou have no other thought.
But thou lodged in snake reasonin ~ in evil perfidy thou destroyed 'Adam who were one limb - and Hiewan heard the snake thing - and havin heard - she did like unto she commanded she.
After she ate a fig fruit - she came and misled JAH first Creation 'Adam - and she brought death on him and on she childran because she infringed she Creator Command.
Them proceeded from the Garden to JAH by Him true Judgemant ~ Him calmed them in the land where them were sent by them childran birthed from them nature and by them crops found from Earth - yet Him didn't distance them from the Garden quarrelin.
and on the time thou expelled them straight from the Garden - that them might plant plants and childran to be calmed and to renew them reasonin in the Earth fruit that Earth prepared from she Earthliness - and that them might be calmed by Earth fruit and the Garden fruit that JAH gave them...
JAH gave them woods more verdant than the Garden woods - and Hiewan and 'Adam - whom thou sent way from the Garden on them eatin it - were totally calmed from sadness.
As JAH know to calm Him Creation - them reasonins are calmed because them childran and because the crops found from Earth.
As them have been sent toward this world that grow nettles and thorns - them firm up them reasonins in Water and grain.
