The Nativity according to the flesh of our Lord and God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
AT VESPERS
At Lord, I have cried we insert 8 Stichera and sing the following Idiomels, doubling them.

2nd Tone. By Germanos.

Come, let us rejoice in the Lord, as we tell of the present mystery. The middle wall of partition has been destroyed; the sword of flame turns back, the Cherubim withdraw from the tree of life; and I partake of the delight of Paradise, from which I was cast out through disobedience. For the express Image of the Father, the Imprint of his eternity, takes the form of a slave, coming forth from a Mother who did not know wedlock, not undergoing change; for what he was he has remained: true God; and what he was not he has taken up, becoming man through love for mankind. To him let us cry out: God, born from a Virgin, have mercy on us. (twice)

By Anatolios. Same Tone.

When the Lord Jesus was born of the holy Virgin, the whole universe was enlightened. For Shepherds were abiding in the fields, Magi worshipping, Angels singing in praise, while Herod was troubled; because God had appeared in flesh, the Saviour of our souls. (twice)

The same Tone.

Your kingdom, Christ God, is a kingdom of all the ages, and your Rule is from every generation to generation. Incarnate of the Holy Spirit and becoming man of the ever-Virgin Mary, you made light shine on us, Christ God, by your coming. Light of Light, Radiance of the Father, you have made all creation bright with joy. Everything that has breath praises you, Imprint of the Father’s glory. O God, who exist and pre-exist and who shone from a Virgin, have mercy on us. (twice)

Tone 2.

What shall we offer you, O Christ, because you have appeared on earth as a man for our sakes? For each of the creatures made by you offers you its thanks: the Angels their hymn; the heavens the Star; the Shepherds their wonder; the Magi their gifts; the earth the Cave; the desert the Manger; but we a Virgin Mother. God before the ages, have mercy on us. (twice)

Glory. Both now….. The same Tone.
By Kasia.
When Augustus reigned alone on the earth, the many kingdoms of mankind came to an end; and when you became man from the pure Virgin, the many gods of idolatry were destroyed; the cities of the world passed under one single rule; and the nations came to believe in one single Godhead; the peoples were enrolled by decree of Caesar; we the faithful were enrolled in the

2nd Tone. By Germanos. 來吧!讓我們講述這個奧秘時,在主裡大大的歡

喜! 那分隔的牆已經被毀壞;那火紅的刀劍已經 歸回,天使們從生命樹上撤退,我曾經因不順服 而被逐出樂園,但現在要分享那來自樂園的快 樂.天父所表達的形像,祂永恆的形像,取僕人的 形體,未經種種變化,由童貞女所生.祂之前如何 ,現在仍保持不變:即真神,祂之前所不是的,祂 已完全承擔,道成肉身,只因祂愛世人.讓我們大 聲呼喊: 喔從童貞女所生的神啊,憐憫我們吧! (twice)

By Anatolios. Same Tone.

當主耶穌基督由童貞女所生時,全世界都受到 啟示.牧羊人在曠野裡守候,東方三博士來朝拜, 天使們歌頌讚美,但希律王卻十分困惱,因神已 道成肉身,我們靈魂的救主啊! (twice)

The same Tone.

你 的國度,喔基督我們的神哪!是所有世代的國 度,而祢的律法,是世世代代的律法!藉著聖靈 成為肉身,藉由聖母馬利亞降生為人,你的降世 啟示我們,光中之光,光明的父,你已經使天地萬 物發出喜悅的光芒.所有有氣息的皆贊美祢,天 父榮耀的形像!喔 神哪!祢是永恆的永有,祢已 從童貞女發出光,憐憫我們吧!( 2次)

Tone 2.

我們該奉獻什麼給祢呢?喔基督,祢為我們來到 世上成為人的樣式,祢所創造的萬物向你獻上 感謝,天使們獻上讚美詩歌,天獻上星辰,東方三 博士獻上禮物,牧羊人獻上讚嘆,地球獻上洞穴, 曠野獻上馬槽,我們獻上一位童貞母親.上帝在 世代之前,憐憫我們吧! (twice)

榮耀…. 從今到…… The same Tone.
By Kasia. 奧古斯都統治時,人類的王國走到盡頭,你成為 人從純真的童貞女,眾多神明崇拜偶將被摧毀; 世界中的諸城必須受同一律法統治;諸國必須 信奉同一位統領之神;人們登記在凱薩大帝的 行政名錄;忠信的我們則登記在上帝的名號,當 你道成肉身,我們的神,祢的憐憫何等偉大:願榮
