Ode I

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Having traversed the water as though it were dry land, and escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israelite cried aloud: Let us chant unto our Deliverer and God!

¶2

Delighting now with the martyrs in thine incorruptible and godly sojourn in heaven and in unattainable blessings, O divinely wise Sabinas, save those who praise thee.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou didst escape the grief of death, for God Who is life in hypostasis ineffably issued forth from thy womb, O Virgin Theotokos, renewing our nature.

¶4

Dedicating thyself to the sacrifice of praise to Christ, O Sabinas, thou didst resolutely leave to undertake struggles in the deserts, training thyself with feats of fasting.

¶5

Taking pleasure in spiritual flowers, thou wast shown to be a garden of paradise adorned with the virtues, gathered in by the sword of martyrdom, and known as fruit for God.
