ከድርሳነ ሚካኤል ዘታኅሣሥ (በአማርኛና በልሳነ እንግሊዝ)
👉"ከክፉ ነገር ሁሉ ያዳነኝ መልአክ" ዘፍ. 48፥16
ልመናውና አማላጅነቱ ከክፉ ቀንና ከፈተና ሰዓት ያድነን በቀን ከሚወረወር ጦር በጨለማ ከሚሄድ ከልዩ ልዩ ወገን ለዘለዓለሙ ይሠውረንና ጌትነት የባሕርዩ የሚሆን የንጉሥ የክርስቶስ የቃል ኪዳኑ መልእክተኛ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል ያደረገው ተአምር ይህ ነው።
በአንዲት አገር ውስጥ አንድ ሰው እንደ ነበር ተነገረ ይኸውም አማኒ እውነተኛ እግዚአብሔርን የሚፈራ የዕለት እራት የዓመት ልብስ ለሌላቸው ለነዳያን የሚያዝን የሚራራ የሚመጸውት ችሮታን የሚያደርግ የመላእክት አለቃ የቅዱስ ሚካኤልን ልመናና ጸሎት ተስፋ የሚያደርግ በየወሩ በየአሥራ ሁለቱ ቀን መታሰቢያውን ዝክሩን የሚያደርግና በእርሻ በግብርና ሥራ የተሠማራ ሰው ነበር።
ከዚህ በኋላ ይህ ሰው ያለበት አገር የምድሩ ፍሬ ሁሉ ጠፋ ያ እግዚአብሔርን የሚፈራ ሰውዬም የመላእክት አለቃ የቅዱስ ሚካኤልን ዝክርና መታሰቢያ ምን አደርጋለሁ ብሎ አሰበ።
ፈጽሞም የተቸገረ ሆነ ከቤቱም ከንብረቱም ምንም ምን አልተረፈውም ዲሪቶ ለበሰ ፍጹም ችግር ጸናበት የሚበላው የሚጠጣው የሚለብሰው አጣ ለዕለት ምግብም እንኳ ቸገረው የረሀብ የጽም ችግር ስለጠናበት ፍጹም ኀዘን ተሰማው ኃይሉ ፈጽሞ ደከመ የጠጅ ስካር እንደጣለው ሰው ሆነ ከአልጋው ከመቀመጫው መነሣት ተሳነው ከረሀቡም ብዛት የተነሣ አዝኖ ተኛ እንደ ሞተ ሰውም ሆነ።
በዚያች ሰዓትና በዚያች ዕለት ለሰው ምሕረትን የሚለምን የመላእክት አለቃ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል ከሰማይ ወርዶ ወደ እሱ መጣ ለቸርነቱም ወሰን የለውምና።
ያን ጊዜ የመላእክት አለቃ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል ባለጸጋ ለነበረ ለዚያ ሰው ታየው ተነጋገረው ዝክሬን የምትዘክር መታሰቢያዬን የምታደርግ ወዳጄ ሆይ ለምን ፈጽመህ ታዝናለህ በጠዋት ፈጥነህ ተነሣ አትዘግይ ልብህ ይጽና ኃይልህም አይድከም በችኮላ ወደ ባሕር ሄደህ መረብህን ጣል ያን ጊዜ ታላቅ ዓሣ ይያዝልሃል ይወጣልሃል እግዚአብሔር ፍጹም ክብርን ይሰጥሃል።
እነሆ በውስጡም ብዙ በረከትን ታገኛለህ እኔም ከአንተ አልለይም ከአንተ ጋራ እሆናለሁ በችግርህም ጊዜ አልተውህም ችላ አልልህም አልንቅህም ፈጽሞ ለችግር አልሰጥህም የእግዚአብሔር ኃይልም ከአንተ ጋራ ይኖራል አለው።
የመላእክት አለቃ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል ይህን ተስፋ ከነገረው በኋላ ከፊቱ ተሠወረ በፍጹም ክብርም ወደ ሰማይ ዐረገ።
ያም ሰው ከእንቅልፉ በነቃ ጊዜ ይህ ነገር ከእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ እንደ ተደረገ አወቀ በነጋም ጊዜ ከእግዚአብሔር የታዘዘ መላክተኛ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል እንደ ነገረው ፈጥኖ በመነሣት በችኮላ ወደ ባሕር ዳርቻ ሄደ የመላእክት አለቃ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል እንደ አመለከተውም መረቡን በባሕር ላይ ጣለ በዚህም ጊዜ ታላቅ ዓሣ ከመረቡ ገባለት አፉን በከፈተ ጊዜ በውስጡ በእሳት የተፈተነና የተጣራ ወርቅን አገኘ።
ከዚህ በኋላ ፈጽሞ ደስ ተሰኘ እግዚአብሔርንም አመሰገነው ፍጹም ችግርና ድኅነት ይዞት ሳለ ያልናቀው ችላ ያላለው ንቆ ያልተወው የመላእክት አለቃ ቅዱስ ሚካኤልንም እያመሰገነ ያንን ወርቅ ይዞ በፍጹም ደስታ ወደ ቤቱ ተመለሰ።
ከዚህ በኋላ ከዚያ ከወርቁ አንስቶ የመላእክት አለቃ የቅዱስ ሚካኤልን ሥዕል አሠራ (አሳለ) ባማረ በተወደደ ጌጽም አስጌጸው በፍጹም ክብር አክብሮ ንዕድ ክብርት በምትሆን በቤተ ክርስቲያን ውስጥ ሰቅሎ አኖረው።
በየወሩ በአሥራ ሁለት ቀንም የቅዱስ ሚካኤልን መታሰቢያና ዝክር እስከ ዕለተ ሞቴ ድረስ ሳያስታጉል ኖረ።
የቅዱስ ሚካኤል ፍጹም ልመናው ለዘለዓለሙ ከእኛ ጋራ ይኑር በእውነት አሜን።

From Tahisas’ Encomium of the Archangel Saint Michael
👉"The Angel which redeemed me from all evil" Gen. 48:16
This is the miracle of Saint Michael, the messenger of the covenant of Christ, who is King and Lord by essence. May his holy intercession and his prayers preserve us from days of tribulation and hours of trial, and may he shelter us forever from spears cast by day and from all wandering dangers of the night.
There once lived a man in a certain land, a true believer who feared God with a sincere heart. He was compassionate in his deeds, generous in almsgiving, and merciful toward the poor and destitute, who lacked their daily bread and the clothing of a full year. His hope rested firmly in the intercessions and prayers of the Archangel Saint Michael. He was a farmer by labor, and he faithfully observed the Archangel’s feast on the twelfth day of every month.
Now it came to pass that the fruits of the land failed entirely, and the God-fearing man considered within himself, saying, “What shall I do for the feast and commemoration of Saint Michael the Archangel?”
He was brought low into complete poverty, and all that belonged to his household and his substance was lost. His garments were tattered, and want clung to him without relief. He lacked both food and clothing, so that not even for a single day did he have bread to eat. Hunger and thirst wore away his strength; his body grew feeble, and his vigor departed from him. He became as one struck down, unable to rise from his bed or from his chair. Through the severity of his affliction, his spirit was cast down, and he lay as one already dead.
At that very hour and on that very day, Saint Michael the Archangel, who continually entreats mercy for mankind, descended from heaven and came to him, for the measure of his goodness knows no limit.
And suddenly the Archangel appeared before the man who had once known abundance and spoke to him, saying, “O my beloved, thou who didst once honor my feast, why art thou thus overwhelmed with sorrow? Rise early in the morning and delay not. Let thy heart stand firm, and let not thy strength fail. Make haste to the sea and cast thy net therein. At that moment thou shalt draw up a great fish, and the Lord shall grant thee honor.
“Within it thou shalt find abundant blessing. I will not depart from thee, but shall abide with thee always. In times of tribulation I will not abandon thee, nor will I forsake thee in the hour of trial. Thou shalt not be delivered over to affliction, for the power of God shall remain with thee.”
When Saint Michael had spoken these things, he vanished from before him and ascended in glory to heaven.
When the man awoke from his sleep, he knew in his heart that this vision was from God. Therefore, in the morning, obedient to the command of God’s appointed messenger, Saint Michael the Archangel, he rose without delay and went down to the sea. As he had been instructed, he cast his net into the waters, and immediately a great fish was taken. When he opened its mouth, he found within it pure gold, refined and cleansed by fire.
Then his soul was filled with gladness, and he gave thanks to God. He returned rejoicing, bearing the gold in his hands, and he praised the Archangel Saint Michael, who had not despised him in his poverty nor turned away from him in his low estate.
From that gold he caused an icon of Saint Michael the Archangel to be fashioned, adorning it with precious stones and honoring it with great reverence. He placed it within a holy church.
And from that time forward, on the twelfth day of every month, until the end of his life, he faithfully commemorated and kept the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel without interruption.
May the intercession of Saint Michael be with us always and forever. Truly. Amen.
