58:2
ብፁዓን፡ አንትሙ፡ ጻድቃን፡ ወኅሩያን፡ እስመ፡ ስቡሕ፡ ክፍልክሙ።
Blessed are ye, ye righteous and elect, For glorious shall be your lot.
And the righteous shall be in the light of the sun, And the elect in the light of eternal life: The days of their life shall be unending, And the days of the holy without number.
And after this it shall be said to the holy in heaven That they should seek out the secrets of righteousness, the heritage of faith: For it has become bright as the sun upon earth, And the darkness is past.
And there shall be a light that never endeth, And to a limit (lit. ‘number’) of days they shall not come, For the darkness shall first have been destroyed, [And the light established before the Lord of Spirits] And the light of uprightness established for ever before the Lord of Spirits.
