Օրհնութիւն
We glorify with spiritual song the True Spirit who proceeds from the Father without beginning, who descended with a thundering sound on this day in the Upper Room, like a mighty wind. We glorify with spiritual song the One consubstantial with the Father and the Son, the Distributor of gifts, who, being divided into fiery tongues, granted to the holy Apostles the distinct knowledge of languages. We glorify with spiritual song the Fount of Wisdom, the One perfect in personhood, who spoke through the Law, the Prophets, and the Gospels. Today the ranks of Apostles rejoice at the coming of the Spirit of God, who comforts in lieu of the Word who was bodily among them. Let us glorify him with a sanctified voice. Today the water of life gushed forth in Jerusalem, causing the divine rivers to overflow; and running over, they fed the universal spring that courses in four streams through Eden. Let us glorify him with a sanctified voice. Today, by the intelligible dew from the Spirit’s clouds, the plants of the Church revived, the fields of justice became fertile, and the deserts became beautiful with pure virginity. Let us glorify him with a sanctified voice. Հարց Uncreated God, Maker of us creatures, who sent to earth your co-uncreated Spirit to glorify your Only-begotten Son, blessed are you Lord God of our fathers. You who originated from the Father trough inexplicable birth, who sent the Comforter to your holy Apostles, your Spirit, who like you is Lord, blessed are you Lord God of our fathers. Spirit of God, uncreated, self-existant, perfect in personhood and perfecter of all, united to the Father and the Son by nature, blessed are you Lord God of our fathers. Գործք Bless the Lord all you souls, with the sound of the Trisagion praise the Holy Spirit who is consubstantial with the Father and the Son. The heavenly Fire who with the Word fashioned the rational world, who baptized the Apostles on this day in the holy Upper Room… All you souls, with the sound of the Trisagion praise the Holy Spirit who is consubstantial with the Father and the Son. The One who proceeds from the Father, the richly gushing Fountain of Wisdom, who spoke through the Old and New Testaments of God… All you souls, with the sound of the Trisagion praise the Holy Spirit who is consubstantial with the Father and the Son. Ողորմեա O Lord, you descended into the world with your mercy and transformed this dead nature unto life. O Lord, you ascended gloriously unto the Father in heaven and sent the Holy Spirit, the Comforter of the Apostles. O Lord, you opened your heavenly treasure on this day and bestowed generous gifts upon this poor nature. Տէր յերկնից Today, the Fountain of Wisdom flowed in the holy Upper Room like a flooded river, by which the universe was saturated. Today, the Good News of the Father descended from heaven to earth, to announce the Good News to Adam to return to Eden. Today, New Zion rejoices with her children whom she bore, renewed with her children of light and day by the unction of the Spirit. Today, all souls bless the Spirit with the Father and the Son by singing the Trisagion with melodies of thanksgiving. Today, we earthlings rejoice for the coming of the heavenly One, and joining the circle of angels we sing “Glory to the Most High.” |
