Ὦ παντάννασα, παντακουστάτη κόρη, | |
πανυπέροχε, καὶ πάντων ὑπερτέρα, | |
βροτίων γένος, ὁσίως βιωσάντων, | |
νόων ἀΰλων, τάξις τῶν οὐρανίων, | |
νύμφη τοῦ πατρὸς ἀφθόρως γενομένη, | |
ἄνακτα Χριστὸν ἀσπόρως συλλαβοῦσα, | |
πατρὸς τεκοῦσα τὸν πρὸ αἰώνων λόγον | |
μένεις δʹ ἁπαλὴ, παρθένος μετὰ τόκον. | |
Ὦ παράδοξον παντάπασι καὶ ξένον | |
τὸ μυστήριον τῆς σῆς κυοφορίας | |
ὅτι καὶ γεγέννηκας, καὶ παρθενεύεις, | |
ὅμως ὡς ηὐδόκησεν, ὡς ἠβουλήθη | |
ἐλευθερῶσαι γένος ἀδαμιαίων | |
τοιαῦτα δε δρᾶ ἐν σοὶ τῇ παναγίᾳ. | |
Ἀλλʹ ὦ παρθένε, χριστιανῶν τὸ κλέος | |
νῦν ποτνιῶ σοι καὶ ζῶν καὶ μετὰ πότμον | |
τῷ κτησαμένῷ ἐκ πόθου σου τὴν δέλτον | |
Λεοντίῳ τοὔνομα, τῷ καὶ ποιμένι, | |
σὺν τούτῳ ἅμα ξέσαντι ἀμωσγέπως | |
Νεοφύτῳ ἀναξίῳ, τλήμονί τε Ζακόρῳ˙ | |
διά μου σὸς γένοι<τ>ο πανολβία | |
ὅταν ἐλεύσῃ ὁ σὸς υἱὸς καὶ κτίστης | |
μετὰ ἀγγέλων πνοῶν τοῦ κρῖναι πάντας, | |
ἄμφω εὑρεῖν τε ἀμπλακημάτων λύσιν | |
τοῦ ἀνυμνεῖν σε εἰς ἅπαντας αἰῶνας. | |
Ὅσοι δὲ ταύτην ἐντύχητε τὴν δέλτον | |
εὔχεσθαι ἡμῖν διὰ τὸν θεὸν ἀμήν. |
