¹ Woe to the land, the winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, ² That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, and in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters. Go, ye swift angels, to a nation rent and torn in pieces: to a terrible people, after which there is no other: to a nation expecting and trodden underfoot, whose land the rivers have spoiled. ³ All ye inhabitants of the world, who dwell on the earth, when the sign shall be lifted up on the mountains, you shall see, and you shall hear the sound of the trumpet. ⁴ For thus saith the Lord to me: I will take my rest, and consider in my place, as the noon light is clear, and as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest. ⁵ For before the harvest it was all flourishing, and it shall bud without perfect ripeness, and the sprigs thereof shall be cut off with pruning hooks: and what is left shall be cut away and shaken out. ⁶ And they shall be left together to the birds of the mountains, and the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall be upon them all the summer, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee. ¹² And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils, ¹⁴ And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty. ¹⁵ And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.

²⁷ And rising up, he went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore. ²⁸ And he was returning, sitting in his chariot and reading Isaias the prophet. ²⁹ And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near and join thyself to this chariot. ³⁰ And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest? ³¹ Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. ³² And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth. ³³ In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth? ³⁴ And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? Of himself, or of some other man? ³⁵ Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus. ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water. And the eunuch said: See, here is water: What doth hinder me from being baptized? ³⁷ And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch. And he baptized him. ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip: and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
