1st Part After 1st Theotokeia Part :: القطعة الأولى بعد القطعة الأولى من الثيؤطوكية

Fasting and prayer shame Satan,
Ascetism defeats his evil plots,
Love is the foundation of all growth,
Humility quenches his fires.

He said, "Do not worry about tomorrow,
Tomorrow will worry about itself,
Seek first the Kingdom of God,
And all these will be added to you."

Give alms to the orphans,
Partake with them in the inheritance,
Be confirmed in the faith,
Labor with the ten talents.

Crowns are prepared for the victorious,
In the place of grace, they shall wear them,
Eternal punishment is for the apostate,
Unceasing worms comparable to serpents.

Do not be double-tongued,
Do not break the laws,
Do not be hypocritical,
For the works of the sinners will shame them.

Refrain:
Blessed are those who have mercy,
Who give to the poor and fast and pray,
The Holy Spirit will fill their hearts,
The Son will show them mercy on Judgment Day.

Arabic-English:
El-soom wel-salah yookhzeyanel shaytan,
Wal zoohde yahzem ta-gha-yanoo,
Wal mahaba a-sas koolel boonyan,
Wal ta-wa-doo´ yakhmed neera-noo.

Qal la tahtamoo lel ghade be sha-an,
Fa enel ghade yahtame be sha-anoo,
Ootlooboo awalan malakoot Allah,
Wa haza koolahoo tazdadoonoo.

Ea´too sadaqa lel moonqa-tea´een,
Le-toosha-re-koo-hoom fel-meeras,
Wa koonoo fel-eman sabteen,
Wa tag-roo fel `asha-rut waznat.

Akaleel moo´ada lel fa-ezeen,
Fe dar-el-na-`em labseen tagat,
Wa ´azaban mookhalad lel-haydeen,
Wa doodan la yanam shebhel-hayat.

La takoonoo zawee leesanen,
Wa sharaea´ la tahaboo feeha,
Wa la tamshoo aydan be-wag-hen,
Fa-enel-athama a´malahoom takhzeehoom.

Refrain:
Toba lil-rohama a`la masakeen,
Fa-en el-rahama tehele a´lehom,
Will-masih yerham-hom fe yom el-deen,
We yehel broh qodso fehom.
