Complete Ethiopian Bible

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has preserved scriptures that were removed or excluded from Western Bibles centuries ago. Books like 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and others were considered sacred by early Christians and are still quoted in the New Testament—but you won't find them in most Bibles today. The Ethiopian canon represents one of the oldest and most complete collections of biblical texts in existence.

You'll find texts like 1 Enoch (quoted in Jude), the Book of Jubilees, 4 Baruch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, among others. These aren't "new" books—they're ancient texts that Ethiopian Christians have faithfully preserved for over 1,600 years while other traditions set them aside.

This is a faithful English translation of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon. Ethiopia's Christian tradition predates most Western denominations—the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8 is considered one of the first Gentile converts. These scriptures have been continuously used in Ethiopian worship for centuries.

Most Western seminaries and churches simply don't teach about them. The Protestant Reformation standardized a 66-book canon, and that's what most of us grew up with. But early church fathers referenced many of these texts, and they remained part of Ethiopian Christianity throughout history.

Not at all. It's translated into clear, readable English. You don't need any special background—just an open heart and curiosity about scriptures your ancestors may have known.

Anyone hungry for more of God's word. Whether you're a lifelong believer who feels something's been missing, a serious student of scripture, or simply curious about what else the early church considered holy—this is for you.

Yes. The Ethiopian Bible has been preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church for over 1,600 years. It contains the same books found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the ancient manuscripts discovered in 1947 and now held in museums worldwide.

These aren’t new books. They’re the original books that were removed from Western Bibles centuries ago.

Zyvell is the only U.S. publisher with the complete 88-book translation.

Yes. The Ethiopian Bible is fully Christian.

It comes from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian churches in the world, established in the 4th century—within the first few centuries of Christianity itself.

For over 1,600 years, Ethiopian Christians have preserved a Bible containing 88 books, including texts like Enoch, Jubilees, and the full Maccabees. These books were read by early Christians, quoted by early Church leaders, and in the case of Enoch, even referenced directly in the New Testament (Jude 1:14–15).

The Ethiopian Bible doesn’t add new or foreign teachings. It preserves an ancient Christian canon that remained unchanged, while other regions later removed certain books during historical and theological debates.

In short, the Ethiopian Bible represents one of the earliest continuous Christian traditions in the world—and remains fully rooted in the Christian faith.

We tried.

They wouldn’t let us.

Amazon rejected our listing. Meanwhile, their marketplace is flooded with cheap print-on-demand knockoffs claiming to be the “Ethiopian Bible”—incomplete versions, bad translations, slapped together to make a quick buck.

Those stay up.

Ours got blocked.

Make of that what you will.

We’re the only non-Ethiopian publisher with the actual rights to print the complete 88-book canon. The authentic version. And apparently, that’s the one Amazon doesn’t want you to have.

So we sell direct.

No algorithm deciding what scripture you’re allowed to buy.

No gatekeeper between you and the truth.

They can keep the fakes.

We’ll get you the real thing.

Yes. Every page is printed in clear, comfortable large print—the kind you can actually read without squinting or holding the book at arm's length. Scripture shouldn't give you a headache.
