Օրհնութիւն
The Dove that was sent came down with great sound from on high, like the flashing of light; armed the inconsumable disciples with fire while they were sitting in the holy Upper Room. The Dove immaterial, inscrutable, that searches the deep counsels of God and taking the same from the Father signals the awesome second coming, has been declared consubstantial [with the Father and the Son]. Blessing in the highest to the One who proceeds from the Father, to the Holy Spirit, through whom the Apostles drank the immortal cup and invited the earth to heaven. Life-giving God, man-loving Spirit, you enlightened with fiery tongues those assembled in unity of love; wherefore today we celebrate your holy coming. The holy Apostles rejoiced with your coming, as they called to unity those who were scattered by the confusion of tongues; wherefore today we celebrate your holy coming. Through the spiritual, holy baptism at their hands you adorned the universe with shining and new garments; wherefore today we celebrate your holy coming. Հարց We celebrate the coming of the Spirit who comforted the Apostles by resting upon them in the form of fiery tongues. Blessed forever. We celebrate the appearance of the Spirit, confessing him God from on high, Restorer and Giver of Life. Blessed forever. Today, rejoicing in the Spirit, we confess the Holy Spirit to be God, who, flowing out, filled everyone. Blessed forever. Գործք Bless the Lord and lift him up always. Bless the One who proceeded from the Father and is consubstantial with the Son and lift him up always. Bless God who came this day with fiery tongues to the chosen of the Word and lift him up always. Մեծացուսցէ Today, O new people, rejoice for the coming of the Holy Spirit, magnifying the One who proceeded from the Father. Today the Apostles rejoice, adorned by the grace of the Holy Spirit, magnifying the One who proceeded from the Father. Today the creatures exult in the true coming of the Holy Spirit, magnifying the One who proceeded from the Father. Ողորմեա You who are at all times Divine and descended from heaven with a mighty sound, O Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. You who fill everyone with your power and descended to dwell within the rank of the Apostles, O Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. You who are indivisible in your Divinity yet were divided into separate fiery tongues [as] you rested upon the Apostles, O Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. Տէր յերկնից You who are seated in the cherubic chariot, descended from heaven this day to the rank of the Apostles. O Holy Spirit, blessed are you, immortal King. You who moves on the wings of the winds, were divided into separate fiery tongues this day, resting upon the Apostles. O Holy Spirit, blessed are you, immortal King. You who cares for your creatures through your oversight, came to establish your Church this day. O Holy Spirit, blessed are you, immortal King. The chosen eleven assembled, awaiting the Father’s good news faithfully in the Upper Room. The Holy Spirit appeared to the saints, filled with joy the Holy Apostles faithfully [waiting] in the Upper Room. Those who drank the living fire went on and made the universe drink; those who drank came to life. Ճաշու The One who springs forth perpetually, since the beginning, distinctly with the Son, the Lordly Holy Spirit, was poured down mightily from heaven this day, filling all those in the company of the Apostles. Let us bless and bow down to him. The One without beginning and always with the Self-existent, the Holy Spirit, inseparably consubstantial and co-creator with the Son, was preached in fiery, distinct languages this day, bringing the nations to the light by distributing diverse gifts to them. Let us bless and bow down to him. The One who created the creatures by brooding over the waters, inseparable from the Father and the Son, the equally sovereign Holy Spirit, regenerated all nations this day by the living water gushing forth from Jerusalem. Let us bless and bow down to him. Համբարձի The indivisible Trinity and heavenly Power had shone forth light upon the world. Offer him praises in song. The One who descended from heaven this day and rested upon the Apostles, the true Holy Spirit… Offer him praises in song. The One who in his saving mysteries, in descending upon the Apostles this day, had made himself known to the prophet [Joel]. Offer him praises in song. |
