Salutation to the day of your conception, which blessed the multitude. More than the days of the Creator, as Sunday blessed. The Hand of Christ, Jacob, where he bowed upon his staff. Bless, bless your children, while the Hand passes over. An image in Egypt blessed, whose son is a child. Salutation to your birth from the blessing of the Hand of the womb. Thousands of thousands you shall bear, as the barren one bore. The Hand of Christ, the Shepherd, lord of the faith, a gift. In the last of the faithful, for you were in the house of the Lord, the Savior. In many places, you yourself, a believer. Salutation to the remembrance of your name, father of many, which was called. By the tongue of the people within, and by the mouth of the peoples without. Takla Haymanot, Job, when he sinned against you. He said to me, "Hand of God, son of Baqʿa." The Lord gave, and he himself took. Salutation to your mouth, the mouth of Paul, the proclaimer. Who by faith subdued the deniers of the angelic orders. Rejoiced in you, many, George with the Abyssinians. In the sea of the measure, to make the Hand of Christ, the Shepherd, a quarter. For by a wise son, the parent rejoices.

Salutation to the translation of your body, by the mouth of the blessed one, which was blessed. More than the translation of the prophet Elijah, of the hour of the sacrifice of praise. O Hand, to the one who took the flesh of the virgin. Father, give me for your son the interpreter of the secret of the hidden one, who is like a hard stone, my mind has endured. When I sought your body from the land of a foreign people, the place of the saints, Magwina, full of faith and love. By the command of the king, Iyasu, who established his house of silver. While they said, "Receive you," the priests of the new mystery. Your gift, the Hand of Jesus, is abundant like the forest and fearsome like the mule, before God. For the king of kings, your love, to which I gave gifts. Hand of Christ, give me the price of my love, joy. For the righteous one gives, from the small, much. The sinner, like me, does not pay what is owed. And in the judgment, he does not make the judgment mild.
