(Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Spiritual Sayings) 1. እግዚአብሔር ፍቅር ነው ፍቅርም እግዚአብሔር ነው። (Egziabher fik'r new, fik'rim Egziabher new.) Translation: "God is love, and love is God."
Səlam lähu (Peace be with you).
A beautiful, poetic saying often attributed to desert monastic fathers of Ethiopia. It contrasts the loud, boastful ways of the ego with the quiet, persistent grace of God. True spiritual gifts come gently. The quote encourages humility—do not announce your fasting or prayers; let grace soak into the earth of your soul silently. (Mäts'haf Qidus yaltänäka enchet new; näfs yaltägäbabät betä mäqdäs.) Translation: "An unopened Scripture is a piece of wood; a soul that has not entered it is an empty temple."
This quote is a direct echo of 1 John 4:8, central to Ethiopian Orthodox spirituality. It reminds the faithful that every act of selfless love is a participation in the divine nature. In Amharic, "Egziabher" (Lord of the Universe) carries a weight of sovereignty, emphasizing that love is not just an attribute but the very essence of God. (Säw bälibu yasäbäwän Egziabher bäšira w yifätnäwal.) Translation: "God tests what a person thinks in their heart through their actions."
This is a classic quote from the Ethiopian Orthodox Qine (poetic) tradition. It rebukes those who own a Bible but do not read or meditate on it. The Tabot (Ark replica) in every church is sacred, but the believer’s soul must become the living Tabot through the Word. (Zämen yalfal nägär gin mihretu läläläm new.) Translation: "Time passes away, but His mercy is forever."
