Complete 81-book Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible in Ge'ez with transliteration. Open source. For Dad. ስማዕ፡እስራኤል፡እግዚአብሔር፡አምላክነ፡እግዚአብሔር፡አሐዱ፡ውእቱ። Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is ONE. — Deuteronomy 6:4 --- # Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible **The complete 81-book canon restored in Ge'ez with word-by-word transliteration.** No KJV. No Western imperial overlay. The Word as the Ethiopian church preserved it for 1,700 years. --- ## Covenant This repository exists for one reason: to make the complete, uncut Word of God freely available to anyone who seeks it. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church preserved what the Western church buried — 1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Meqabyan, Psalm 151, and dozens of texts removed by post-Nicaea councils. The Dead Sea Scrolls have since confirmed that these "removed" books were mainstream Jewish scripture before Christ. **This project restores them.** No gatekeepers. No paywalls. No copyright locks. Free forever. **For Dad.** --- ## What's Inside | Layer | Coverage | Description | |-------|----------|-------------| | **Ge'ez text** | 100% | Original manuscript text in Ethiopic script | | **Transliteration** | 100% | Word-by-word Latin transliteration (538,363 words) | | **English (compare)** | 3.3% | Comparison layer only — NOT primary text | | **Word glosses** | In progress | Per-word meaning annotations | ### Canon Structure | Section | Books | Examples | |---------|-------|---------| | **Torah (Orit)** | 5 | Genesis (ኦሪት፡ዘልደት), Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy | | **Historical** | 16 | Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther | | **Wisdom** | 7 | Job, Psalms (151 chapters), Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Sirach, Wisdom | | **Prophets** | 18 | Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, the Twelve, Lamentations | | **Deuterocanonical** | 5 | Tobit, Judith, 1-2 Meqabyan, Baruch | | **Unique to Ethiopia** | 13 | **1 Enoch**, **Jubilees**, 3 Meqabyan, Kebra Nagast, Sinodos, Clement, and more | | **New Testament** | 27 | Matthew through Revelation, all with Ge'ez manuscript …
