ማኅሌት

ለቀረቡሽ ብዙ እጅግ ብዙ የነበርሽ፣

እንዴት ባንድ ስም አንቺ እንደተወሰንሽ።

አሁን ገባኝ መልእክቱና ቁም ነገሩ፣

ለወላጆችሽ የታያቸው ራዕይና ምስጢሩ።

ማኅሌት ብለው ሲጠሩሽ ሲሰይሙሽ፣

ተገልጾላቸው ነው ለካ ሕይወትሽ እንደሚሆን እንደ ስምሽ።

መካሪ አስተዋይ ትጉህ አስተማሪ፣

አገልጋይ በቤቱ ሰዎችን አፍቃሪ።

ተወዳጅ ሳቂታ ላዘነው አጽናኚ፣

የጐደለን ሞዪ ገመናም ሸፋኝ።

በእምነትም የጸናሽ ታማኝ ለፈጣሪ፣

ቅን ታታሪ አገልጋይ ጌታሽን አክባሪ።

መክሊትሽን ያልቀበርሽ በእጥፍ ያተረፍሽ፣

በጌታሽ የታመንሽ አንቺስ ምርጥ ነሽ።

ምን ስም ያወጣሉ እንዲህ ላለቺቱ፣

በውስጥም በውጪም ውብ ለሆነቺቱ።

በአስቸጋሪው ጊዜ ቢከብድሽ መስቀሉ፣

"ትችለዋለች ወይ?" ሌሎች ሲባባሉ።

እንኳን አቤቱታ ካንቺ ሊወጣሽ፣

ተመስገን ተመስገን ተመስገን እንዳልሽ።

ላስታማሚ ብርታት መጽናኛ ሆነሽ፣

ሩጫሽን ጨረስሽ በእምነትሽ ጸንተሽ።

ከአምላክ የድል አክሊል ተበርክቶልሽ፣

እንደ ቅዱሳኑ እንደ ሰማእታቱ ለክብር በቃሽ።

በነአብርሃም እቅፍ እረፍትን ተሰጥቶሽ፣

ከመልከጼዲቅ ጋር ከዜና ማርቆስ ጋር ባንድ ላይ ሆነሽ።

በአካለ ሥጋ ዉዳሴን በምድር እንዳዥጐደጐድሽ፣

የኛዋ ማኅሌት ከመላእክት ጋር ለማኅሌት ቆምሽ።

እንድታወድሺው ስሙን እንድትጠሪ የፈቀደልሽ፣

ለስሙ መወደስ መሣርያ ያረገሽ። 

ከልደትሽም በፊት ቀድሞ የሚያውቅሽ፣

ስምሽን ከግብርሽ ጋር ያስማማ መርጦሽ፣

እግዚአብሔር ይመስገን ማኅሌት ያለሽ።

My deepest condolences to Mahlet's family and friends. I came across one of Mahlet's vlogs a couple of years ago. I have watched her videos from time to time. Her vibrant personality and spirit in the face of all she went through was truly an inspiration. She is an amazing person. 

Thank you Mahlet for teaching us about triumphant living, courageous faith and transcendent peace and joy by openly sharing your journey with all of us. You had cancer on the run. You were truimphe until the end. You handled your staggering challenges with such grace and even spunk so everyone who is under the sound of your voice will hear that with God everything is possible. Indeed God's grace sufficient even in all circumstances. You were a willing vessel for God to showcase his grace, his goodness and love. Even though I never had the privilege to  know you in person, I cared about you very much. Rest in peace my dear sister.

Mahletiye, my childhood friend. I am so happy I reconnected with Mahlet last year after almost 20 years (last time I saw her was at my wedding back in 2001).  Beautiful inside and out. Her smile infectious. A teacher for many. A friend and mentor to hundreds. Mahlet found the true meaning of life; living in faith through the storms. Rest in peace beautiful. 

To her family, please receive our condolences. We join you in celebrating Mahlet and her life. Gelila, Mesfin, Hawaarya

በቃ ተፈፀመ!

የኔ ውብ አበባ ሁሉ አማረብሽ

በጥበብ በለዛ ሕይወትሽን የኖርሽ

በሽታን ፍርሀትን ሞትንም ሰብረሽ

ዛሬ ወደቤትሽ በክብር ተሸኘሽ

ዝብርቅርቅ ካለው ከዚህ ዓለም ሁካታ

ከስጋዊ ህመም አገኘሽ እፎይታ

ሰይጣን ደስ አይበልህ ድጋሚ ተረታህ

ስጋን ብታሸንፍ መንፈሷን አልነካህ!

መለከት ይነፋ ይነገር አዋጅ

ይከፈት በሮቹ የገነትም ደጅ

ሰልፋቸውም ይመር መላእክቱም ይውጡ

ጩኒዬ መጥታለች ይቀበሏት ይምጡ

ስጧት ትጎናፀፍ የድል አክሊልን

ፈፅማለችና የአምላክ ትእዛዙን

ሩጫዋን ጨርሳ ተጋድላ ገድሏን

ወደ አባቷ ሄደች አውጃ ድሏን

የእኛን ዘመን እዮብ ሰባኪ ፅናትን

ዛሬ ሸኝተናል ማህሌታችንን

ብለው ይቀበሏት ነይ የኔ ብርሀን

ያላምዷት ያሳይዋት የዘለአለም ቤቷን

ሞቅ ደመቅ ታርገው ምንም ግር እንዳይላት

ለአባ መልከ ፀዲቅ አደራ ሰጠናት

በቃ ተፈፀመ!

ሄዳለች ላትመጣ

ወደናፈቀችው የስማይ አባቷ

የእኛም ተራ ደርሶ እስክናያት ደግመን

ለመኖር እንትጋ ምክሯን ተቀብለን

I have known Mhalet for as long as I can remember through my sister. She was like a family member, someone I truly loved for the genuine person she was. I had a privilege to spend a day with her while in CA about 16 years ago. She took time to make me feel like home. Although I regret not keeping in touch, it felt like she was always around. She even make sure to pop in and say hello while in DC. Through the pictures and stories shared, learning more about her life journey made me realize how lucky I was to have met someone so special. RIP beautiful soul! 

Love Mamila 

1. I only knew about you just five minutes ago. Your story came on my phone screen and i tried to learn all i can about your journey and was mesmerized by your beauty and your unwavering faith in God. It seems as though you chose me to teach me about faith in God. How to stand strong even when you are fighting this monster called Cancer. 
2. I feel you hand picked me to show me the love of God and how it can get you through any strom. I have had a lot of losses in my life and each one had caused me to doubt God's love for me, but you came to me today, my beautiful angel and told me to come closer to him😢Mahlet ende simish. Mahlet full of grace and beauty. Mahlet the " hero- she-ro"  I wish i knew about you two days ago. I would have attended your funeral via zoom. Thank you for leaving us this ladting legacy. You loved your felliw humans so much, you tried until your last breath to teach us what faith in God can do. Forever grateful. Forever indebted to you. My beloved luttle sister Rahel Solomon , who was so faithful and brave just like you has gone on to be with her creator three years ago. Please find her and be friends with her. With the deepest love in my heart, I say " way to go Mahlet konjo. Way to go. God speed" May God wrap his comforting hands around your family and all that you have touched.
3. Fly home with your brand new wings.

Chiniye,
I’m so sad, I’m so depressed, I’m so down. I prayed for you every single day since I found out about your illness.  But after I watched your last message, the last thing you want to see is people like me who love you to show any sign of that . To your honor and respect, I shall keep my heads up, celebrating your life. I love you my friend .I’m blessed to have know you from Lycee gebremarian all the way to San Francisco state university.
I will forever miss you 😘
Rest In Peace my friend. You will forever be in my heart.

Hailu

Condolence to Mahilet family

God be with you

Dearest Mahletiye, 

It was a privilege to have known you and feel lucky to call you a friend and a sister.  You are a tough act to follow.  With the time God had awarded you,  you had managed to touch countless hearts and inspired many.  I'm in awe of your legacy. 

I'm forever grateful for all of the takeaways from the time we spent together and the many life lessons you'd taught me over the years.  Being in the Enawiga Book Club with you was one of the highlights of my life, but the love and support you had shown my creative journey was even more impactful.  Thank you Mahletiye.  You'd brought so much joy into my life and I feel incredibly blessed for knowing you.  I love you and will miss you dearly.

It's hard for me to accept the fact that you are gone, but I also love knowing that you'd lived your best life to the fullest and now rest peacefully.   I hope we all live up to your standards and make you proud.  May we live life to its fullest while inspiring others. You are the genuine Black Girl Magic and a true inspiration.  

  Until we meet again...your legacy will live on through us.  You are forever in our hearts Mahletiye.
