1957, Tigrinya Bible, archived from the original on 2021-07-29, Zechariah 8–11:

I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees, that were in the bottom: and behind him were horses, red, speckled, and white.
And I said: What are these, my Lord ? and the angel that spoke in me, said to me: I will shew thee what these are:
And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered, and said: These are they, whom the Lord hath sent to walk through the earth.
And they answered the angel of the Lord, that stood among the myrtle trees, and said: We have walked through the earth, and behold all the earth is inhabited, and is at rest.
