Show the ancient witness. Translate with humility.

Geʽez is the historic liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Every future English rendering remains visibly separate from the original text and carries its review status.

Original Ethiopic (Geʽez) text

1–3 Meqabyan

Awaiting verified source text

Text intentionally unavailable

VAV has not inserted OCR, an unverified transcription or an intelligence-generated passage. This space will display the exact cited source once the source gate passes.

Required public disclosure

Original text presented in Ethiopic (Geʽez). The accompanying English is a VAV intelligence-assisted study rendering—not an official Ethiopian Orthodox translation or an independently verified Bible edition.

I understand the distinction between the original text and the study rendering.

Source

Rights before rendering

Ancient authorship does not automatically make a modern transcription, edition, database or scan freely reproducible.

Meaning

Uncertainty stays visible

Alternate readings, missing text and uncertain meanings are recorded rather than silently resolved by intelligence.

Authority

Layers never merge

Original text, literal gloss, readable rendering, scholarly interpretation, VAV teaching, personal reflection and AI assistance remain separately labeled.

Correction

Every revision is traceable

Future published renderings require source IDs, model and prompt provenance, reviewer decisions, version history, rollback and immediate withdrawal.
