And you, O man—and you are not God—why are you proud? You who are a man today are dust and ashes tomorrow, and you become worms and maggots in your grave.
And moreover Sheol shall follow you, and those who do your deeds; for as for your teacher Sablyanos, he brought back upon his own head the sin of all the world, because he led astray our father Adam by his pride.
Does it seem to you that you can escape out of the hand of the Lord, seeing that you have provoked His wrath and neglected and grown slack in the worship of the Lord, who gave you authority over the kingdoms?
And He has tested you, whether you will do His will or not; and if you make your way good upon the earth, the Lord will make your ways prosper, and all that you set your hand to He will prosper and bless for you, and all your foes and your enemies He will subdue before you.
And you shall rejoice in your going out and in your coming in, and in the fruit of your body, and in your treasures, and in your flocks, and wherever you point with your fingers and whatever you purpose in your heart—all shall be made subject to you; for since authority has been granted to you from the Lord, so shall you do, and build, and plant, and uproot.
But if you refuse to hear the word of the Lord and His law, and do not walk in His judgment, there is nothing whereby you may escape out of the hand of the Lord—like all the rebels before you who did not worship the Lord in purity and did not trust in His upright judgment; for all His judgment is righteousness.
And He it is who looses the bound, and He it is who raises the dead; and those whose flesh has decayed and become as ashes He shall awaken at the time He chooses, for with Him is the dew of mercy.
For the way of the wicked is the deed of defilement and oppression and iniquity and harlotry and treachery and covetousness, and the plundering of another's goods, and drunkenness in iniquity.
And it is the rushing to the shedding of blood and to ruin in that which profits not, and the making of the orphan to weep, and the eating of carrion and blood and the flesh of swine and camels, and the going in to a woman in her blood and to one travailing in childbirth before she is cleansed.
But the way of the righteous is narrow and strait, which leads to life—humility and innocence, love and peace, fasting and prayer, and purity of the flesh, and abstinence from foods that profit not: carrion and what is torn and harlotry and the going in to another man's wife.
And they keep themselves from every defiled deed and from unclean foods which are not commanded in the law, and from impure deeds which the Lord does not delight in; for all these things the wicked do.
9:25
ወጻድቃንሰ፡ ይትገሃሡ፡ እምኵሉ፡ ፍናዋት፡ እኵያተ፡ ዘኢይሠምሮ፡ እግዚአብሔር።
惟有義人從一切主所不喜悅的惡道中退避自己。
But the righteous withdraw themselves from all the evil ways in which the Lord does not delight.
9:26
ወይፈቅሮሙ፡ ወይትመሐፀኖሙ፡ ወያድኅኖሙ፡ እምኵሉ፡ ምንዳቤሆሙ።
祂愛他們、庇護他們,又救他們脫離一切的患難。
And He loves them, and shelters them, and delivers them from all their tribulation.
