áááá ááá: The Book of Enoch in Amharic
The Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work that is attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews). However, it is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which include it in their Deuterocanonical books.
The Book of Enoch contains several sections, including a description of the fall of the Watchers (angels who fathered the Nephilim), a vision of a heavenly realm and a journey through the cosmos, a prophecy of a great tribulation and the coming of the Messiah, and a series of parables that teach about righteousness and judgment.
The Book of Enoch was written in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek between the 3rd century BCE and the 1st century CE. It was widely known and used by early Christians, but was later lost to most of the Western world until its rediscovery in 1773 by James Bruce, who brought three copies from Ethiopia. Since then, several translations have been made into different languages, including Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia.
The Amharic version of the Book of Enoch can be found online as a PDF file at https://archive.org/details/Mashafa-henok_Ethiopian-Orthodox. This version was published by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and contains 108 chapters. It also includes an introduction and a commentary by Abba Paulos Tzadua, an Ethiopian scholar and bishop.
The Book of Enoch is a fascinating and mysterious text that offers a glimpse into the ancient Jewish worldview and eschatology. It is also a valuable source for understanding the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and its unique traditions and beliefs.
The Book of Enoch contains many themes and ideas that are central to Jewish and Christian theology. One of the most important themes is the concept of judgment, punishment, and reward. The book emphasizes the importance of living a righteous life and warns of the consequences of sinful behavior.
The first part of the book, known as the Book of the Watchers, tells the story of how some angels, called Watchers, rebelled against God and descended to earth to mate with human women. Their offspring were the Nephilim, giants who corrupted the earth with violence and wickedness. God sent the great flood to destroy them, but some of their spirits survived as demons. The Watchers were bound in chains and imprisoned in a place called Tartarus until the final judgment. Enoch was chosen by God to intercede for them and to reveal to them their fate.
The second part of the book, known as the Book of Parables or Similitudes, contains three parables that describe the coming of the Son of Man, a messianic figure who will judge the righteous and the wicked at the end of time. He is also called the Chosen One, the Righteous One, and the Anointed One. He will sit on a throne of glory and execute justice with his angels. The wicked, including the fallen angels, will be cast into a fiery lake of fire, while the righteous will inherit a new heaven and a new earth.
The third part of the book, known as the Book of Astronomical Writings or Heavenly Luminaries, contains various cosmological and astronomical speculations. It describes how Enoch was taken up to heaven and shown the secrets of creation, such as the movements of the sun, moon, stars, and planets. It also explains how these heavenly bodies are related to the seasons, festivals, and calendar. It also contains a vision of a great cosmic cataclysm that will precede the final judgment.
The fourth part of the book, known as the Book of Dream Visions or Animal Apocalypse, contains two visions that Enoch saw in his dreams. The first vision is an allegory of human history from Adam to the Maccabean revolt in 167 BC. It uses animals to represent different nations and peoples, such as sheep for Israelites, bulls for patriarchs, rams for kings, eagles for Babylonians, lions for Persians, bears for Greeks, and elephants for Seleucids. The second vision is a prophecy of the end times, when God will send his Messiah to deliver his people from their enemies and establish his eternal kingdom.
The fifth part of the book, known as the Epistle of Enoch or Apocalypse of Weeks, contains a letter that Enoch wrote to his son Methuselah before his ascension to heaven. It summarizes the history of humanity in ten periods or weeks, each lasting thousands of years. It also predicts the future events that will occur in each week until the final judgment. It ends with an exhortation to righteousness and a blessing for those who obey God's commandments. aa16f39245
