Σήμερον πιστοί χορεύσωμεν στιχηρά εσπερινού των εισοδίων

Θανάσης Δασκαλοθανάσης

Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.

If You, O Lord, should mark transgression, O Lord, who would stand? For there is forgiveness with You.[SAAS]
Σήμερον πιστοὶ χορεύσωμεν, ἐν ψαλμοῖς καὶ ὕμνοις, τῷ Κυρίῳ ᾄδοντες, τιμῶντες καὶ τὴν αὐτοῦ, ἡγιασμένην σκηνήν, τὴν ἔμψυχον κιβωτόν, τὴν τὸν ἀχώρητον Λόγον χωρήσασαν· προσφέρεται γὰρ Θεῷ, ὑπερφυῶς τῇ σαρκὶ νηπιάζουσα, καὶ Ἀρχιερεὺς ὁ μέγας, Ζαχαρίας δέχεται, εὐφραινόμενος ταύτην, ὡς Θεοῦ κατοικητήριον.

O believers, let us dance today, * singing to the Master in the words of Psalms and hymns, * and honor His tabernacle that He sanctified, * the animate Ark that held * the uncontainable Logos within herself. * For she is offered to God, * being a babe in the flesh supernaturally. * And the great and holy high priest * Zacharias feeling joy * in his heart now receives her * who in time will be the dwelling of God.[SD]
Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ὑπέμεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέμεινεν ἡ ψυχή μου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου. Ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.

Because of Your law, O Lord, I waited for You; my soul waited for Your word. My soul hopes in the Lord.[SAAS]
Σήμερον ναὸς ὁ ἔμψυχος, τῆς ἁγίας δόξης, Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, ἡ μόνη ἐν γυναιξίν, εὐλογημένη Ἁγνή, προσφέρεται τῷ Ναῷ, τῷ νομικῷ κατοικεῖν εἰς τὰ Ἅγια, καὶ χαίρουσι σὺν αὐτῇ, Ἰωακεὶμ καὶ ἡ Ἄννα τῷ πνεύματι, καὶ παρθενικαὶ χορεῖαι, τῷ Κυρίῳ ᾄδουσι ψαλμικῶς μελῳδοῦσαι, καὶ τιμῶσαι τὴν Μητέρα αὐτοῦ.
