Priest

The exposition of the sixth hour of the eve of Wednesday of the Holy Pascha, may its blessings be us. Amen.

طرح الساعة السادسة من ليلة الأربعاء من البصخة المقدسة، بركاتها علينا. آمين.

Reader

Behold these virtues and parables that our Lord of Glory Jesus – the source of every grace and good – has told us; He who granted mankind to partake in His kingdom. Listen, think, and understand and know his blessed parables, for the sake of the prudent virgins who were mentioned in the Bible and were likened to his kingdom; full of joy and exultation. Ten virgins: five foolish and five wise, said the Lord. As He tells us, there was no distinction between them as virgins; but they differed in their deeds. Thus, He praised and blessed the wise five (virgins) because they were earnest and prudent. They filled their lanterns with oil and kept the surplus in their containers. As for the foolish virgins, they were lackadaisical and did not prepare their lanterns. When they all woke up at the given time to proceed with their procession ahead of the bridegroom, their lanterns became useless at the wedding time and were unable to accompany the bridegroom. Those who are prepared, accompanied him to the wedding and the somnolent ones stayed outside.

يالهذة الفضائل وهذة الامثال التي قالها ملك المجد الذي هو يسوع ملك النعمة والخيرات المكمل السلام الذي انعم لجنس البشر بشركة ملكوتة اسمعوا وتاملوا وافهموا واعلموا امثالة الطوباوية من اجل العذارى الحكيمات اللواتي نطق من أجلهن في الانجيل وشبههن بملكوتة المملوء فرحا وسرورا عشر عذارى قال الرب خمس جاهلات وخمس حكيمات قال هؤلاء العشرة كن عذراى ولكنهن افترقن لاجل أعمالهن فطوب الحكيمات الفهيمات لانهن صنعن الحكمة بايجاد وملان مصابيحهن من الزيت واوعيتهن مما فضل عنهن فاما العذارى الجاهلات فتكاسلن ولم يفهمن قيمة مصابيحهن فلما قمن جميعهن في ساعة واحدة ليمشين قدام العريس تعطلب مصابيحهن وقت الفرح ولم يحضرن مع العريس والمستعدات دخلن معة الى العرس والمتكاسلات وقفن خارجا.

The priest and the congregation say

Christ our Savior, has come and has borne suffering, that through His passion, He may save us.

Pi`xrictoc pencwthr> af`i af]ep`mka\> \ina 'en nef `mkau\> `ntefcw; `mmon.

المسيح مخلصنا جاء وتألم عنا لكي بآلامه يخلصنا.

Let us glorify Him, and exalt His Name, for He has done us mercy, according to His great mercy.

Maren;`wou naf> tensici `mpefran> je aferounai neman> kata pekni]; `nnai.

فلنمجده ونرفع إسمه لأنه صنع معنا رحمةً كعظيم رحمته.
