Katavasia of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Arabic) | كاطافاسيات رقاد السيدة

☦️For the Glory of God ☦️ These English translations have been taken from antiochian.org (the website of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America) and very slightly modified in order to make the subtitles fit on screen with the Arabic. The translations (as they are) from antiochian.org are below: Thy noble solemn memorial, O Virgin, adorned with divine glory, hath brought all believers together in rejoicing as Miriam did of old, coming forward with timbrels and dances, singing to thine only Son; for in glory hath He been glorified. O Christ, Wisdom of God and His creating and almighty Power, establish Thy Church without guile, and unshaken; for Thou alone art holy, O Thou Who dwellest among the holy. The sayings of the Prophets, O Christ, and their symbols explained clearly Thine Incarnation of the Virgin; and the brilliance of Thy lightning doth send forth light to the Gentiles, and the deep calleth out to Thee shouting with joy, Glory to Thy might, O Lover of mankind. Verily, I proclaim, O Christ, the divine goodness of Thine ineffable virtues; for Thou didst rise from eternal glory as a ray, coeternal in Thy Person, and wast incarnate in the Virgin’s womb, bringing forth a sun to those who are in darkness and error. Verily, the fire in the vitals of the deep-born whale was a symbol of Thy three-day Burial, of which Jonah was an exemplar; for having escaped without hurt when he was swallowed, he shouted, saying, I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving, O Lord. Verily, the divine passion did defeat the bestial wrath and fire, moistening the fire, and with inspired works issuing forth from the three-voiced song of the righteous ones, scorning wrath, opposing the musical instruments, as they sang in the midst of the flames, shouting, Blessed art Thou, O glorified One, the God of our Fathers. Verily, the angel of the Almighty God did reveal the flames moistening the three righteous youths and burning the infidels. And He made the Theotokos a fountain for the Element of life, Destroyer of death, and overflowing with life to those who sing: We who are saved praise the Creator alone, ever exalting Him to the end of ages.
