Amen. It was written in the year of mercy 1960 after the Italians were expelled during the reign of our King Ḫāyla Śǝllāse, appointee of God, liberator of Ethiopia from servitude and the light of the lamp from darkness. Rest for the cultivators of the earch. Doom for the violent ones, robbers and oppressors. Because to him was given the wisdom of Solomon and David through a lot of prayer and patience. Because his time is the time of comfort and rest, which will not be gained again until the Second Birth. Let us plead for him that God may give him long years without war, in joy and gladness, with his sinful and erring scribe ʾabbā Baḥrǝyä Śǝllāse. Forever and ever. Amen. Rhymed colophon mentions the date 1960 year of mercy (= 1967/68 A.D.).
