Օրհնութիւն
From the ever-flowing Fountain, O Holy Spirit, a distinct, life-giving Stream; blessed are you, True Light. You came to the holy Upper Room on this day, O True God; you adorned the Apostles gracefully with your glorious light, O Spirit. The Apostles filled with cheerful joy sang in exaltation: “Blessed are you, True Light.” Upon the ascension of the Word to heaven and his sitting at the right hand of the Father, the cheerful Apostles bowed down, blessing the Father, the Sender of the Word. The assembly of the saints, gathered together in the mystical Upper Room, with their eyes lifted up, were waiting for the Spirit, blessing the Father, the Sender of the Word. The life-giving Fountain of Light erupting suddenly, with a roaring sound, adorned with the immortal Light of Life those who were blessing the Father, the Sender of the Word. Հարց Uncreated Holy Spirit, glorified with the Father and consubstantial with the begotten Son, you are the incomprehensible God of our fathers. You who are seated on the foursquare throne and are in sanctity blessed by the fiery tongues, you are the incomprehensible God of our fathers. With love for mankind you descended as God on this day and distributed the fiery tongues by resting on those in the holy Upper Room; you are the incomprehensible God of our fathers. Գործք Bless the Lord, lift him up, the Spirit, True God. The comforting Holy Spirit who came down from the Father in lieu of the Only-begotten, who adorned gracefully the holy Apostles, lift him up, the Spirit, True God. The heavenly streams flowed into the holy Upper Room and, adorning the holy Apostles, armed them with divine fire; lift him up, the Spirit, True God. Ողորմեա O True Spirit, you who fulfilled your divine directives prefigured to David’s offspring by making the Apostles drink of your abundance in the holy Upper Room, have mercy. You who were sent by the Father, Life-giving Stream and True Light, who made the sons of Zion drink of the flow of your gentleness, have mercy. You who fulfilled the desires of the hearts of those who sat waiting for your grand coming in the holy Upper Room, have mercy. Տէր յերկնից Who with light, immaterial wings soars past the fiery Seraphim and with general supervision cares for his creatures, O Holy Spirit, you are blessed by your creatures. Who in your amazing brightness are praised ceaselessly, vocally, with the Father and the Son, and who watches kindly over your creatures, O Holy Spirit, you are blessed by your creatures. With your divine supervision, on this day you roared through the Upper Room with the sound of wind,and by making the Apostles drink, you were distributed to your creatures; O Holy Spirit, you are blessed by your creatures. Համբարձի The Holy Spirit always was and is and will be; he neither had a beginning, nor will he have an end; he is eternally ranked and numbered with the Father and the Son; and is forevermore blessed. He has always been accepting, sanctifying, perfecting, and deifying; he is eternally ranked and numbered with The Father and the Son; and is forevermore blessed. Ever-moving, self-moving, of his own will, Sovereign, Almighty; for he blows wherever he wills, whenever and as much and as long as he wishes; and is forevermore blessed. He is of himself, ever the same with those among whom he is ranked; unseen, eternal, unchangeable, immutable; and is forevermore blessed. Without quantity, without quality; invisible, impalpable; and is forevermore blessed. Lord, Sender, Determiner, Builder of his own Temple; leading, strengthening, distributing gifts as he wills; and is forevermore blessed. Life and Giver of Life, Light and Giver of Light, Absolute Good, Spring of Goodness; the rightly guiding Spirit; and is forevermore blessed. Spirit of power and awe, by whom the Father is known and the Son is glorified; one rank, one honor, one devotion, perfection, holiness; and is forevermore blessed. |
