Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast appeared on earth, O Invisible One, and of Thine own will hast dwelt with men, O Unapproachable One. And rising early unto Thee, we hymn Thee, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

¶2

Ye preached the Word Who came to earth to save the lost, O divine apostles, and have delivered all men from deception.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou alone didst have a strange childbirth upon earth, reconciling us with the only all-unoriginate Father. Wherefore, thee alone do we honor as the Mother of God.

¶4

In strange manner hath the grace of prophecy been poured forth richly upon thee by God, O divinely wise Agabus; for thou didst manifestly proclaim what would come to pass.

¶5

Thou didst once appear prophesying to Paul his afflictions, bonds and tribulations, O prophet Agabus, when thou didst bind thy hands with his belt.
