Thursday Psali And Theotokia

Bishop Youssef - Ke Eperto ( St Mary & St Demiana Convent ) 2013

enjoy this verse i recorded two years ago without a tabla and only a table :)

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.

Lamentations 3:25-27

Lamentations 3:25-27

Khen oshot afshot 
Enje pimoo ente efiom 
Owoh efnon etsheek 
Afshopi enoma emoshi 

A hidden earth
Was shone upon by the sun
And the untrodden road 
Was walked upon 

Omoo efveel evol 
Afohi eratf 
Khen ohob eneshfiri 
Emparadoxon 

Pharaoh and his chariots
Were drowned 
And the children of Israel
Crossed the sea

Enafhos khagoo pe 
Enje Moisees pi eprofeetees 
Sha entef etchito ekhon
Hi epshafe ensina 

And they were praising God 
With this new psalmody
Saying "let us sing to the Lord 
For he has triumphed gloriously"

Hiten niefshi
Ente Moisees piarshiepropheetees 
Epchois ari ehmot nan
Empiko evol ente nenovi 

Through the intercessions of
The Mother of God Saint Mary
O Lord grant us 
The forgiveness of our sins 

Ten oosht emmok o Piekhristos
Nem pekiot enaghathos 
Nem pi epnevma ethowab
Je aki aksotee emmon

1st Hoss Lobsh: Khen Oshot (ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϣⲱⲧ/خين اوشوت)

Lyrics:

Oh Thou in Whose presence delighteth my soul,
And Whom in my distress I call,
My comfort by day and my refuge by night,
My stronghold whenever I fall.

Shepherd of my soul I beg Thee to tell,
Where Thou keepest Thy sheep to rest,
For why should I roam in the valley of tears,
And wander as one who is lost?

I ask thee to tell me daughters of Zion:
Have ye seen the One I adore?
I seek Him in vain in the
night of my soul,
But lo, I can find Him no more.

I am my Beloved's and He is mine,
He calleth me sister and spouse,
Oh, how do I long for the day we shall wed,
In heaven in His Father's house.

Shepherd of my soul
I shall follow Thee,
Oh, how sweet Thy voice is to me!
So guide me and lead me and show me the way,
My only desire is Thee.

Shepherd of My Soul - Mina Banoub

Written in the second century by an anonymous author, this letter is addressed to Diognetus; whose name suggests he is a member of a dignified society and as such it is an apologetic piece.
