Parabolae Salomonis, filii David, regis Israël,
ምሳሌያተ፡ ሰሎሞን፡ ወልደ፡ ዳዊት፡ ዘነግሠ፡ ለእስራኤል፡ በኢየሩሳሌም።

1:2
לָדַ֣עַת חׇכְמָ֣ה וּמוּסָ֑ר לְ֝הָבִ֗ין אִמְרֵ֥י בִינָֽה׃
γνῶναι σοφίαν καὶ παιδείαν νοῆσαί τε λόγους φρονήσεως
ad sciendam sapientiam et disciplinam ;

to know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;
1:3
לָ֭קַחַת מוּסַ֣ר הַשְׂכֵּ֑ל צֶ֥דֶק וּ֝מִשְׁפָּ֗ט וּמֵשָׁרִֽים׃
δέξασθαί τε στροφὰς λόγων νοῆσαί τε δικαιοσύνην ἀληθῆ καὶ κρίμα κατευθύνειν

ወለተወክፎ፡ መይጠ፡ ቃል፡ ወለአእምሮ፡ ጽድቅ፡ ዘበአማን።
to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity;
1:4
לָתֵ֣ת לִפְתָאיִ֣ם עׇרְמָ֑ה לְ֝נַ֗עַר דַּ֣עַת וּמְזִמָּֽה׃
ἵνα δῷ ἀκάκοις πανουργίαν παιδὶ δὲ νέῳ αἴσθησίν τε καὶ ἔννοιαν
ut detur parvulis astutia, adolescenti scientia et intellectus.
ወለአርትዖ፡ ፍትሕ፡ ከመ፡ የሀቦሙ፡ ጥበበ፡ ለየዋሃን፡ ለሕፃናት፡ ወለወራዙት፡ ተዐውቆ፡ ወአእምሮ።

1:5
יִשְׁמַ֣ע חָ֭כָם וְי֣וֹסֶף לֶ֑קַח וְ֝נָב֗וֹן תַּחְבֻּל֥וֹת יִקְנֶֽה׃
τῶνδε γὰρ ἀκούσας σοφὸς σοφώτερος ἔσται ὁ δὲ νοήμων κυβέρνησιν κτήσεται
Audiens sapiens, sapientior erit, et intelligens gubernacula possidebit.
ዘንተ፡ እምከመ፡ ሰምዐ፡ ጠቢብ፡ ይዌስከ፡ ጥበበ።
that the wise man may hear, and increase in learning; that the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel;
1:6
לְהָבִ֣ין מָ֭שָׁל וּמְלִיצָ֑ה דִּבְרֵ֥י חֲ֝כָמִ֗ים וְחִידֹתָֽם׃
νοήσει τε παραβολὴν καὶ σκοτεινὸν λόγον ῥήσεις τε σοφῶν καὶ αἰνίγματα
Animadvertet parabolam et interpretationem, verba sapientum et aenigmata eorum.

יִרְאַ֣ת יְ֭הֹוָה רֵאשִׁ֣ית דָּ֑עַת חׇכְמָ֥ה וּ֝מוּסָ֗ר אֱוִילִ֥ים בָּֽזוּ׃ {פ}
ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος θεοῦ σύνεσις δὲ ἀγαθὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ποιοῦσιν αὐτήν εὐσέβεια δὲ εἰς θεὸν ἀρχὴ αἰσθήσεως σοφίαν δὲ καὶ παιδείαν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξουθενήσουσιν
Timor Domini principium sapientiae ; sapientiam atque doctrinam stulti despiciunt.
ቀዳሚሃ፡ ለጥበብ፡ ፈሪሀ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ወአእምሮ፡ ሠናይት፡ ለኵሉ፡ ዘይገብራ፡ ፈሪሀ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ቀዳሜ፡ ተዐውቆ፡ ጥበበ፡ ወተግሣፀ፡ ይሜንኑ፡ ረሲዓን።
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge, but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.
1:8
שְׁמַ֣ע בְּ֭נִי מוּסַ֣ר אָבִ֑יךָ וְאַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ תּוֹרַ֥ת אִמֶּֽךָ׃
ἄκουε υἱέ παιδείαν πατρός σου καὶ μὴ ἀπώσῃ θεσμοὺς μητρός σου
Audi, fili mi, disciplinam patris tui, et ne dimittas legem matris tuae :
ስማዕ፡ ወልድየ፡ ሕገገ፡ አቡከ፡ ወኢትትኀየይ፡ ትእዛዘ፡ እምከ።
My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching;
1:9
כִּ֤י׀ לִוְיַ֤ת חֵ֓ן הֵ֬ם לְרֹאשֶׁ֑ךָ וַ֝עֲנָקִ֗ים לְגַרְגְּרֹתֶֽךָ׃
στέφανον γὰρ χαρίτων δέξῃ σῇ κορυφῇ καὶ κλοιὸν χρύσεον περὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ
ut addatur gratia capiti tuo, et torques collo tuo.
አክሊለ፡ ክብር፡ ትነሥእ፡ ለርእስከ፡ ወባዝግና፡ ወርቅ፡ ለክሳድከ።
for they will be a garland to grace your head, and chains around your neck.
1:10
בְּנִ֡י אִם־יְפַתּ֥וּךָ חַ֝טָּאִ֗ים אַל־תֹּבֵֽא׃
υἱέ μή σε πλανήσωσιν ἄνδρες ἀσεβεῖς μηδὲ βουληθῇς ἐὰν παρακαλέσωσί σε λέγοντες
Fili mi, si te lactaverint peccatores, ne acquiescas eis.
ኦ፡ ወልድየ፡ ኢያስሕቱከ፡ ሰብእ፡ ረሲዓን፡ ወኢትፍቅድ፡ እመ፡ አስተብቊዑከ፡ እንዘ፡ ይብሉ፡ ነዓ፡ ተሳተፍ፡ ምስሌነ፡ ደመ።
My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
1:11
אִם־יֹאמְרוּ֮ לְכָ֢ה אִ֫תָּ֥נוּ נֶאֶרְבָ֥ה לְדָ֑ם נִצְפְּנָ֖ה לְנָקִ֣י חִנָּֽם׃
ἐλθὲ μεθ’ ἡμῶν κοινώνησον αἵματος κρύψωμεν δὲ εἰς γῆν ἄνδρα δίκαιον ἀδίκως
Si dixerint : Veni nobiscum, insidiemur sanguini ; abscondamus tendiculas contra insontem frustra ;
ወንድፍን፡ ውስተ፡ ምድር፡ ብእሴ፡ ጻድቀ፡ በዓመፃ።
If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
1:12
נִ֭בְלָעֵם כִּשְׁא֣וֹל חַיִּ֑ים וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים כְּי֣וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃
καταπίωμεν δὲ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ ᾅδης ζῶντα καὶ ἄρωμεν αὐτοῦ τὴν μνήμην ἐκ γῆς
deglutiamus eum sicut infernus viventem, et integrum quasi descendentem in lacum ;
ወነኀጦ፡ ከመ፡ ገሃነም፡ ሕያዎ፡ ወንስዓር፡ እምድር፡ ዝክሮ።
Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.
1:13
כׇּל־ה֣וֹן יָקָ֣ר נִמְצָ֑א נְמַלֵּ֖א בָתֵּ֣ינוּ שָׁלָֽל׃
τὴν κτῆσιν αὐτοῦ τὴν πολυτελῆ καταλαβώμεθα πλήσωμεν δὲ οἴκους ἡμετέρους σκύλων
omnem pretiosam substantiam reperiemus ; implebimus domos nostras spoliis :
ወጥሪቶ፡ ብዙኀ፡ ናስተጋብእ፡ ወንምላእ፡ አብያቲነ፡ በርበሮ።
We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
1:14
גּ֭וֹרָ֣לְךָ תַּפִּ֣יל בְּתוֹכֵ֑נוּ כִּ֥יס אֶ֝חָ֗ד יִהְיֶ֥ה לְכֻלָּֽנוּ׃
τὸν δὲ σὸν κλῆρον βάλε ἐν ἡμῖν κοινὸν δὲ βαλλάντιον κτησώμεθα πάντες καὶ μαρσίππιον ἓν γενηθήτω ἡμῖν
sortem mitte nobiscum, marsupium unum sit omnium nostrum :
ወአንተኒ፡ ኅበር፡ ምስሌነ፡ ወአሐዱ፡ ቊናማት፡ ይኩነነ፡ ለኵልነ፡ ወመስነቅት፡ አሐቲ፡ ትኩነነ።
You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”—
1:15
בְּנִ֗י אַל־תֵּלֵ֣ךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אִתָּ֑ם מְנַ֥ע רַ֝גְלְךָ֗ מִנְּתִיבָתָֽם׃
μὴ πορευθῇς ἐν ὁδῷ μετ’ αὐτῶν ἔκκλινον δὲ τὸν πόδα σου ἐκ τῶν τρίβων αὐτῶν
fili mi, ne ambules cum eis ; prohibe pedem tuum a semitis eorum :
ኢትሑር፡ ወልድየ፡ ምስሌሆሙ፡ ፍኖተ።
my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
1:16
כִּ֣י רַ֭גְלֵיהֶם לָרַ֣ע יָר֑וּצוּ וִ֝ימַהֲר֗וּ לִשְׁפׇּךְ־דָּֽם׃
οἱ γὰρ πόδες αὐτῶν εἰς κακίαν τρέχουσιν καὶ ταχινοὶ τοῦ ἐκχέαι αἷμα
pedes enim illorum ad malum currunt, et festinant ut effundant sanguinem.
አግኅሥ፡ እገሪከ፡ እምአሠሮሙ፡ እስመ፡ ለእከይ፡ ይረውፃ፡ እገሪሆሙ፡ ወያፈጥና፡ ለከዒወ፡ ደም።
for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
1:17
כִּֽי־חִ֭נָּם מְזֹרָ֣ה הָרָ֑שֶׁת בְּ֝עֵינֵ֗י כׇּל־בַּ֥עַל כָּנָֽף׃
οὐ γὰρ ἀδίκως ἐκτείνεται δίκτυα πτερωτοῖς
Frustra autem jacitur rete ante oculos pennatorum.
እስመ፡ አኮ፡ በከ፡ ዘይረብቡ፡ መሥገርተ፡ ለሰብእ።
For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;
1:18
וְ֭הֵם לְדָמָ֣ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָֽם׃
αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἱ φόνου μετέχοντες θησαυρίζουσιν ἑαυτοῖς κακά ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ἀνδρῶν παρανόμων κακή
Ipsi quoque contra sanguinem suum insidiantur, et moliuntur fraudes contra animas suas.
እሙንቱሰ፡ እለ፡ ቀቲለ፡ ለመዱ፡ ይዘግቡ፡ ሎሙ፡ እከየ፡ ወድቀቶሙ፡ ለሰብእ፡ ኃጥአን፡ እኩይ።
but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
1:19
כֵּ֗ן אׇ֭רְחוֹת כׇּל־בֹּ֣צֵֽעַ בָּ֑צַע אֶת־נֶ֖פֶשׁ בְּעָלָ֣יו יִקָּֽח׃ {פ}
αὗται αἱ ὁδοί εἰσιν πάντων τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα τῇ γὰρ ἀσεβείᾳ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ψυχὴν ἀφαιροῦνται
Sic semitae omnis avari : animas possidentium rapiunt.
ዝ፡ ፍናው፡ ውእቱ፡ ለኵሎሙ፡ እለ፡ ይፌጽም፡ ኃጣውአ፡ ኃጢአት፡ ወትዕግልት፡ ነፍሶሙ፡ ታኃጒል።
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
1:20
חׇ֭כְמוֹת בַּח֣וּץ תָּרֹ֑נָּה בָּ֝רְחֹב֗וֹת תִּתֵּ֥ן קוֹלָֽהּ׃
σοφία ἐν ἐξόδοις ὑμνεῖται ἐν δὲ πλατείαις παρρησίαν ἄγει
Sapientia foris praedicat ; in plateis dat vocem suam :
ጥበብ፡ በፍናው፡ ትሴባሕ፡ ወበመራኅብት፡ ትሁብ፡ ቃላ።
Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
1:21
בְּרֹ֥אשׁ הֹמִיּ֗וֹת תִּ֫קְרָ֥א בְּפִתְחֵ֖י שְׁעָרִ֥ים בָּעִ֗יר אֲמָרֶ֥יהָ תֹאמֵֽר׃
ἐπ’ ἄκρων δὲ τειχέων κηρύσσεται ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις δυναστῶν παρεδρεύει ἐπὶ δὲ πύλαις πόλεως θαρροῦσα λέγει
in capite turbarum clamitat ; in foribus portarum urbis profert verba sua, dicens :
ወውስተ፡ አርእስተ፡ ጥቅም፡ ትሰበክ፡ ወውስተ፡ አናቅጺሆሙ፡ ለኃያላን፡ ትፀመድ፡ ወውስተ፡ አናቅጸ፡ ሀገር፡ ጥቡዐ፡ ትብል።
She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
1:22
עַד־מָתַ֣י׀פְּתָיִם֮ תְּֽאֵהֲב֫וּ־פֶ֥תִי וְלֵצִ֗ים לָ֭צוֹן חָמְד֣וּ לָהֶ֑ם וּ֝כְסִילִ֗ים יִשְׂנְאוּ־דָֽעַת׃
ὅσον ἂν χρόνον ἄκακοι ἔχωνται τῆς δικαιοσύνης οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσονται οἱ δὲ ἄφρονες τῆς ὕβρεως ὄντες ἐπιθυμηταί ἀσεβεῖς γενόμενοι ἐμίσησαν αἴσθησιν
Usquequo, parvuli, diligitis infantiam, et stulti ea quae sibi sunt noxia cupient, et imprudentes odibunt scientiam ?
መጠነ፡ መዋዕል፡ የዋሃን፡ ቦሙ፡ ጽድቅ፡ ወኢይትኃፈሩ።
“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
1:23
תָּשׁ֗וּבוּ לְֽת֫וֹכַחְתִּ֥י הִנֵּ֤ה אַבִּ֣יעָה לָכֶ֣ם רוּחִ֑י אוֹדִ֖יעָה דְבָרַ֣י אֶתְכֶֽם׃
καὶ ὑπεύθυνοι ἐγένοντο ἐλέγχοις ἰδοὺ προήσομαι ὑμῖν ἐμῆς πνοῆς ῥῆσιν διδάξω δὲ ὑμᾶς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον
convertimini ad correptionem meam. En proferam vobis spiritum meum, et ostendam vobis verba mea.
እስከ፡ ማእዜኑ፡ ረሲዓን፡ ታፈቅሩ፡ ስሕተተ፡ ዓብዳንሰ፡ ፈታውያነ፡ ጽእለት፡ እሙንቱ፡ ወረሲዓነ፡ ከዊኖሙ፡ ጸልኡ፡ አእምሮ፡ ወርሱሐነ፡ ኮኑ፡ ለእለ፡ ይዘልፍዎሙ፡ ለምንት፡ ትመይጡ፡ ዘለፋየ።
Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
1:24
יַ֣עַן קָ֭רָאתִי וַתְּמָאֵ֑נוּ נָטִ֥יתִי יָ֝דִ֗י וְאֵ֣ין מַקְשִֽׁיב׃
ἐπειδὴ ἐκάλουν καὶ οὐχ ὑπηκούσατε καὶ ἐξέτεινον λόγους καὶ οὐ προσείχετε
Quia vocavi, et renuistis ; extendi manum meam, et non fuit qui aspiceret :
ወናሁ፡ አነ፡ እነግረክሙ፡ እስትንፋሰ፡ ቃልየ፡ ወእሜህረክሙ፡ ነገረ፡ ዚአየ።
Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
1:25
וַתִּפְרְע֥וּ כׇל־עֲצָתִ֑י וְ֝תוֹכַחְתִּ֗י לֹ֣א אֲבִיתֶֽם׃
ἀλλὰ ἀκύρους ἐποιεῖτε ἐμὰς βουλάς τοῖς δὲ ἐμοῖς ἐλέγχοις ἠπειθήσατε
despexistis omne consilium meum, et increpationes meas neglexistis.
እስመ፡ ጸዋዕኩ፡ ወኢያውሣእክሙኒ፡ ሰፋሕኩ፡ እደውየ፡ ወኢያጽማእክሙኒ።
but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
1:26
גַּם־אֲ֭נִי בְּאֵידְכֶ֣ם אֶשְׂחָ֑ק אֶ֝לְעַ֗ג בְּבֹ֣א פַחְדְּכֶֽם׃
τοιγαροῦν κἀγὼ τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἀπωλείᾳ ἐπιγελάσομαι καταχαροῦμαι δέ ἡνίκα ἂν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος
Ego quoque in interitu vestro ridebo, et subsannabo cum vobis id quod timebatis advenerit.
ወአብዛኅኩ፡ ነገረ፡ ወኢተሰጠውክሙኒ፡ ወምኑነ፡ ረሰይክሙ፡ ትእዛዝየ፡ ወዘለፋየኒ፡ ኢነጸርክሙ።
I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
1:27
בְּבֹ֤א (כשאוה) [כְשׁוֹאָ֨ה׀] פַּחְדְּכֶ֗ם וְֽ֭אֵידְכֶם כְּסוּפָ֣ה יֶאֱתֶ֑ה בְּבֹ֥א עֲ֝לֵיכֶ֗ם צָרָ֥ה וְצוּקָֽה׃
καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀφίκηται ὑμῖν ἄφνω θόρυβος ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ὁμοίως καταιγίδι παρῇ καὶ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν θλῖψις καὶ πολιορκία ἢ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος
Cum irruerit repentina calamitas, et interitus quasi tempestas ingruerit ; quando venerit super vos tribulatio et angustia :
ወአነሂ፡ በኃጒልክሙ፡ አስሕቅ፡ ወእትፌሣሕ፡ ሶበ፡ ይመጽአክሙ፡ ግብተ፡ ተሠርዎ።
when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.
1:28
אָ֣ז יִ֭קְרָאֻנְנִי וְלֹ֣א אֶעֱנֶ֑ה יְ֝שַׁחֲרֻ֗נְנִי וְלֹ֣א יִמְצָאֻֽנְנִי׃
ἔσται γὰρ ὅταν ἐπικαλέσησθέ με ἐγὼ δὲ οὐκ εἰσακούσομαι ὑμῶν ζητήσουσίν με κακοὶ καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν
tunc invocabunt me, et non exaudiam ; mane consurgent, et non invenient me :
ወሶበ፡ ይመጽአክሙ፡ ግብተ፡ ሀከከ፡ ወሙስናሂ፡ ከማሁ፡ ሶበ፡ ይመጽአክሙ፡ ለአሥግሮሙ፡ ወሶበ፡ ይመጽአክሙ፡ ምንዳቤ፡ ወተፄውዎ፡ ሀሎኩ፡ ህየ።
Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,
1:29
תַּ֭חַת כִּֽי־שָׂ֣נְאוּ דָ֑עַת וְיִרְאַ֥ת יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה לֹ֣א בָחָֽרוּ׃
ἐμίσησαν γὰρ σοφίαν τὸν δὲ φόβον τοῦ κυρίου οὐ προείλαντο
eo quod exosam habuerint disciplinam, et timorem Domini non susceperint,
ወሶበ፡ ትጼውዑኒ፡ አነሂ፡ ኢይሰምዐክሙ፡ የኃሥሡኒ፡ እኩያን፡ ወኢይረክቡኒ።
because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.
1:30
לֹא־אָב֥וּ לַעֲצָתִ֑י נָ֝אֲצ֗וּ כׇּל־תּוֹכַחְתִּֽי׃
οὐδὲ ἤθελον ἐμαῖς προσέχειν βουλαῖς ἐμυκτήριζον δὲ ἐμοὺς ἐλέγχους
nec acquieverint consilio meo, et detraxerint universae correptioni meae.
እስመ፡ ጸልእዋ፡ ለጥበብ፡ ቃለ፡ እግዚአብሔርኒ፡ ይስምዑ፡ ኢፈቀዱ።
They wanted none of my counsel. They despised all my reproof.
1:31
וְֽ֭יֹאכְלוּ מִפְּרִ֣י דַרְכָּ֑ם וּֽמִמֹּעֲצֹ֖תֵיהֶ֣ם יִשְׂבָּֽעוּ׃
τοιγαροῦν ἔδονται τῆς ἑαυτῶν ὁδοῦ τοὺς καρποὺς καὶ τῆς ἑαυτῶν ἀσεβείας πλησθήσονται
Comedent igitur fructus viae suae, suisque consiliis saturabuntur.
ወኢፈቀዱ፡ ይነጽሩ፡ ዘዚአየ፡ ምክረ፡ ወያስተራኵሱ፡ ኵሎ፡ ዘዚአየ፡ ዘለፋ።
Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own schemes.
1:32
כִּ֤י מְשׁוּבַ֣ת פְּתָיִ֣ם תַּהַרְגֵ֑ם וְשַׁלְוַ֖ת כְּסִילִ֣ים תְּאַבְּדֵֽם׃
ἀνθ’ ὧν γὰρ ἠδίκουν νηπίους φονευθήσονται καὶ ἐξετασμὸς ἀσεβεῖς ὀλεῖ
Aversio parvulorum interficiet eos, et prosperitas stultorum perdet illos.
እንከሰኬ፡ ይብልዑ፡ ፍሬ፡ ምግባሮሙ፡ ወበዘዚአሆሙ፡ ኃጢአት፡ ይጽገቡ።
For the backsliding of the simple will kill them. The careless ease of fools will destroy them.
1:33
וְשֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֭י יִשְׁכׇּן־בֶּ֑טַח וְ֝שַׁאֲנַ֗ן מִפַּ֥חַד רָעָֽה׃ {פ}
ὁ δὲ ἐμοῦ ἀκούων κατασκηνώσει ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι καὶ ἡσυχάσει ἀφόβως ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ
Qui autem me audierit, absque terrore requiescet, et abundantia perfruetur, timore malorum sublato.
እስመ፡ ኢተመይጦቶሙ፡ ለዓብዳን፡ ትቀትሎሙ፡ እምእንተ፡ ገፍዑ፡ ደቂቅ፡ ይትቀተሉ፡ ወሐተታሆሙ፡ ለረሲዓን፡ ትቀትሎሙ።
But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
1:34———
ወዘሰ፡ ኪያየ፡ ይሄሉ፡ በተስፋ፡ ወየዓርፍ፡ ዘእንበለ፡ ድንጋፄ፡ እምኵሉ፡ እኩይ።
But whoever listens to me will dwell securely, and will be at ease, without fear of harm.”
