ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

77:1

ይጼውዕዎ፡ ለነፋስ፡ ቀዳማዊ፡ ጽባሓዊ፡ እስመ፡ ቀዳማዊ፡ ውእቱ፡ ወይጼውዕዎ፡ ለካልእ፡ አዜብ፡ እስመ፡ ልዑል፡ ህየ፡ ይወርድ፡ ወፈድፋደ፡ ህየ፡ ይወርድ፡ ቡሩክ፡ ዘለዓለም።

And the first quarter is called the east, because it is the first: and the second, the south, because the Most High will descend there, yea, there in quite a special sense will He who is blessed for ever descend.

頭一方稱為東方，因為它是頭一個；第二方稱為南方，因為至高者要降臨那裡，正是那永遠當受稱頌者要以特別的方式降臨那裡。

77:2

ወለነፋስ፡ ዘእምዕራብ፡ ስሙ፡ ንቱግ፡ እስመ፡ በህየ፡ የሐጽጹ፡ ኵሉ፡ ብርሃናተ፡ ሰማይ፡ ወይወርዱ።

And the west quarter is named the diminished, because there all the luminaries of the heaven wane and go down.

西方那一方名叫虧缺之方，因為天上一切的光體都在那裡漸虧、下落。

77:3

ወራብዕ፡ ነፋስ፡ ዘስሙ፡ መስዕ፡ ይትከፈል፡ ሠለስተ፡ ክፍለ፡ ወአሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ማኅደር፡ ለሰብእ፡ ወካልእ፡ በአብሕርተ፡ ማያት፡ ወበቀላያት፡ ወበዖም፡ ወበአፍላግ፡ ወበጽልመት፡ ወበጊሜ፡ ወሣልስ፡ ክፍል፡ በገነተ፡ ጽድቅ።

And the fourth quarter, named the north, is divided into three parts: the first of them is for the dwelling of men: and the second contains seas of water, and the abysses and forests and rivers, and darkness and clouds; and the third part contains the garden of righteousness.

第四方名叫北方，分為三部分：第一部分為人居住之處，第二部分有眾水之海、深淵、森林、河流、黑暗與雲霧，第三部分有義人的園子。

77:4

ወሰብዐተ፡ አድባረ፡ ነዊኀነ፡ ርኢኩ፡ እለ፡ ይነውኁ፡ እምኵሉ፡ አድባር፡ እለ፡ ውስተ፡ ምድር፡ ወእምኔሆሙ፡ ይወፅእ፡ አስሐትያ፡ ወየኀልፍ፡ ወየሐውር፡ መዋዕል፡ ወዘመን፡ ወዓመት።

I saw seven high mountains, higher than all the mountains which are on the earth: and thence comes forth hoar-frost, and days, seasons, and years pass away.

我看見七座高山，比地上一切的山都高，從其中發出嚴霜，日子、時令與年歲都從那裡經過。

77:5

ወሰብዐተ፡ አፍላገ፡ ዲበ፡ ምድር፡ ርኢኩ፡ ዐበይት፡ እምኵሎሙ፡ አፍላግ፡ አሐዱ፡ እምኔሆሙ፡ ይመጽእ፡ እምዐረብ፡ ወውስተ፡ ባሕር፡ ዐቢይ፡ ይክዑ፡ ማዮ።

I saw seven rivers on the earth larger than all the rivers: one of them coming from the †west† pours its waters into the Great Sea.

我看見地上有七條河，比一切的河都大，其中一條從西方而來，將水傾入大海。

77:6

ወእልክቱ፡ ክልኤቱ፡ ይመጽኡ፡ እመስዕ፡ እስከ፡ ባሕር፡ ወይክዕዉ፡ ማዮሙ፡ በባሕረ፡ ኤርትራ፡ እምሥራቅ።

And these two come from the north to the sea and pour their waters into the Erythraean Sea in the east.

那兩條從北方流到海，將水傾入東邊的厄立特里亞海。

77:7

ወእለ፡ ተርፉ፡ አርባዕቱ፡ ይወፅኡ፡ በገቦ፡ መስዕ፡ እስከ፡ ባሕረ፡ ዚኣሆሙ፡ ባሕረ፡ ኤርትራ፡ ወክልኤቱ፡ በባሕር፡ ዐቢይ፡ ይሠወጡ፡ ወበህየ፡ ይቤሉ፡ መድበራ።

And the remaining four come forth on the side of the north to their own sea, 〈two of them to〉 the Erythraean Sea, and two into the Great Sea and discharge themselves there [and some say: into the desert].

其餘四條從北面流出，到它們自己的海，就是厄立特里亞海，另兩條傾入大海，在那裡分流；有人說是流入曠野。

77:8

ሰብዐ፡ ደሰያተ፡ ዐበይተ፡ ርኢኩ፡ በባሕር፡ ወበምድር፡ ክልኤቱ፡ በምድር፡ ወኀምስቱ፡ በባሕር፡ ዐቢይ።

Seven great islands I saw in the sea and in the mainland: two in the mainland and five in the Great Sea.

我看見海中與陸地上有七座大島，兩座在陸地，五座在大海中。
