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 6
Think of the day when you will dead ~ on the time your souls were separated from your flesh - and on the time you quit your money to another - and on the time you went on the path you don't know - think of the tribulation that shall come on you.
and the demons that will raceive you are evil - and them features are ugly - and them are frightenin in them splendour - and them won't hear your words - and you won't hear them words.
and because you didn't do your Creator JAH Accord - them won't hear you in your plea on the time you begged them ~ because this thing them will totally frighten you.
But persons who fulfilled JAH Accord have no fear - to demons fear them. But demons shall ridicule sinner persons souls on them.
But kind persons souls shall be Feeling good on Angels in Feeling good joy - to them shall totally make them Feeling good because them scorned this world - but angels who are evil shall raceive sinner persons souls.
Pardon Angels shall raceive kind persons and righteous ones souls - to them are sent from JAH that them might calm righteous ones souls ~ as Angels that were evil are sent from Deeyablos that them might ridicule on sinner persons souls - demons shall raceive sinner persons souls.
Sinner persons - woe to you ~ weep to your ras selves before the day when you dead arrive on you ~ on the time you reach toward JAH...
enter repentance in your era that are there before your era pass - that you might live in Feeling goodness and joy without tribulation nor disease - yet as after you dead your era won't return that passed - weep.
Lest it be on you toward a vain accord that distance from JAH - in your firm criticism make lovin to be lavished and food and Feeling good joy not be found in you ~ as a body that are sated without measure won't think of JAH Name - Deeyablos wealth shall lodge on it - yet as the Hola Spirit won't lodge in it - make lovin the Feeling good joy not be found in you.
Like unto Mussie spoke - Mussie havin said - "Ya`iqob ate and were sated and fattened and tall and wide - and JAH Who Created him were separated from him.
and him lifestyle distanced from JAH" - as a body that were sated without measure nor moderation won't think of JAH Name - make lovin Feeling good joy not be found alongside you ~ as belly satiety without measure are bein like unto a boar and like unto a wanderin horse - make drinkin and eatin without measure and adultery not be found in you.
But a person who eat in measure shall live firmed up in JAH Support - and him shall live firmed up like unto the horizon and like unto a tower that have a stone fence; a person who forgot JAH LAW shall flee without one livin who chase him.
A kind person shall live in bein raspected like unto a lion.
But persons who don't love JAH won't keep Him LAW - and them reasonins aren't straight.
and JAH shall bring sadness and alarm on them when them are in this world - and bein seized in tremblin and fright - and bein seized in the tribulations without number by them money bein snatched - bein bound by them hands in chains from them masters hands...
lest them be who rested from the tribulation - and lest them lifestyle be in Feeling good joy - lest them rest when them are in alarmin tribulations that are on each of them ras selves - Him shall bring sadness and alarm on them.
