Restoration of gʷǝlt by Tasfāna ʾƎgzi’

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, have restored the gʷǝlt which had been destroyed, for the church of Maṭāʿ, so that the Lord may forgive me in the kingdom of heaven, at the appointed time, in the land of ʾAwegər, at the appointed time. And these are: Sīset and Gaʿba for Ḥāma, and the enclosure of the gʷǝlt, the house, and the incense burner, and the cross of silver, of gold and of silver, and the cloth, and two cushions, and forty loaves, and for the poor of the monastery five loaves, and for the priest in the month of Bərʿennāy. And I have given all this, I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, so that the Lord may forgive me in the kingdom of heaven, together with my mother, my children, my wife, and my grandchildren, forever and ever. Amen. And with all this, I have given and restored the gʷǝlt which had been destroyed, I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, for the holy Maṭāʿ, my lord, so that it may pass all and be my guide, so that it may be for me a guide in the kingdom of heaven, and may prolong my days upon earth, and may protect my soul and my body, and within one house may it destroy my enemy and my adversaries, and may it go with me to the place where I go, if within.

...the way, and if in the land, for ever and ever, amen. And again, may the Lord have mercy on my mother, the sea which receives my kingdom, through the love of the church and through the mercy of the poor and the needy, and may He prolong her days upon the earth, and may He preserve her soul and body through the prayer of Saint Maṭāʿ, for ever and ever, amen and amen. And this which I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, have written, in the year 200 of the Era of Mercy, while King Wǝdǝm ʾArʿada was reigning, and while the governor of Ẓǝnẓǝn and Ḥasan was appointed, I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, son of ʾƎngǝda ʾƎgziʾ and Maʿakǝla Baḥr, his servant, and while the governor of Dabra Maʿǝẓa was appointed, this gʷǝlt which I have restored, I, Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, if a governor, or if a judge, or if a herald, let him be accursed in heaven and on earth, by the mouth of the ten prophets and by the mouth of the twelve apostles and by the mouth of the three hundred and eighteen orthodox fathers, and by the mouth of the blessed Maṭāʿ of Qʷayyǝtfaḥ, by curse and by prayer, for ever and ever, amen and amen. And you, O saints who dwell in this place, pray for Tasfāna ʾƎgziʾ, evening and morning, night and day, for ever and ever, amen and amen. And its interpreter, I, ʾAsfǝḥa, the guardian of the Sabbath of Maṭāʿ.
