3 RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE FIVE Let us believers praise and worship the Word; coeternal with the Father and the Spirit, born of the Virgin for our salvation. For, He took pleasure in ascending the Cross in the flesh to suffer death; and to raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection. نحن لن س ب ح المؤمنين طروبارية القيامة باللحن الخامس للكلمة. المساوي لآلب في والروح ي عل و ونسج د االبتداء. المولود الموت. العذ ارء من الموتى لخالص نا. بقيامت ه ألن ه المجيدة. أن س ر بالجسد األزلية وع د م على الصليب وي نهض وي حت مل ROPARION OF SAINT GEORGE IN TONE FOUR As deliverer of captives, as defender of the poor, healer of the infirm, champion of kings, Victorious, Great Martyr George, intercede with Christ our Lord, intercede for the soul s salvation. طروبارية القديس جاورجيوس باللحن ال اربع بما أن ك للمأسورين م ح ر ر وم عت ق وللف ق ارء والمساكين عاض د وناص ر وللم رضى طبيب وشاف وعن المؤمنين م كاف ح وم حار ب. أي ها العظيم في الش هداء جاورجيوس الم ظ ف ر. ت شف ع إلى الم سيح اإلله في خالص نفوس نا. KONTAKION FOR THE PHARISEE AND PUBLICAN IN TONE FOUR Let us flee from the boasting of the Pharisee and learn the heights of humility from the publican s words. Let us cry out in repentance: O Savior of the world be gracious to Thy servants. 3

4 طروبارية الفريسي و العشار على اللحن ال اربع كرالم مرن لنهرر ن الفريسري المتشرام تواضرع العشرار هراتفين بالتنهردات إلرى ولنرتعلمن المخلص: وحدك الغفور أيها رحماك THE EPISTLE Make your vows and pay them to the Lord our God. In Judaea God is known; His Name is great in Israel. The Reading from the Second Epistle of St. Paul to St. Timothy 3:10-15 Timothy my son, you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions, and my sufferings; and what befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra. What persecutions I endured; yet from them all, the Lord rescued me. Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceivers and deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 4

5 الرسالة صلوا وأوفوا الرب إلهنا, هللا معروف في أرض يهوذا. فصل من رسالة القديس بولس الرسول الثانية إلى تيموثاوس يا ولدي تيموثاوس, إنك تبعتني في تعليمي وسيرتي ومقاصدي وإيماني وصبري ومحبتي وثباتي, واحتمالي االضطهاد والعذاب وما أصابني في إنطاكية وايقونية ولسترة. وكم من اضطهاد احتملت وقد أنقذني الرب من جميعها. فجميع الذين يريدون أن يحيوا حياة التقوى في المسيح يسوع ي صيب هم االضطهاد. أما األش ارر والدجالون فيزدادون ش ار وهم خادعون مخدوعون. فاثبت أنت على ما تعلمت ه علم اليقين عالما ممن تعلمت ه. وإنك منذ طفولتك تعرف الكتب المقدسة القادرة على أن تصي ر ك حكيما وت هديك إلى الخالص في اإليمان بالمسيح يسوع. THE GOSPEL The reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke (18: 10-14) The Lord spoke this parable: "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a taxcollector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank You that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax-collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax-collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!" I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone Who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." 5

6 االنجيل فصل شريف من بشارة القديس لوقا قال الرب هذا المثل: صعد رجالن إلى الهيكل ليصليا, واحد فرسي واآلخر عشار. فوقف الفرسي يصلي في نفسه فيقول: اللهم, إني أشكرك, ألني لست مثل سائر الناس الطامعين الظالمين الفاسقين, وال مثل هذا العشار! فأنا أصوم في األسبوع مرتين, وأوفي عشر دخلي كل ه. وأما العشار, فوقف بعيدا ال يجرؤ أن يرفع عينيه نحو السماء, بل كان يقرع صدره قائال: ارحمني, يا هللا, أنا الخاطئ! أقول لكم إن هذا نزل إلى بيته مبرو ار دون ذاك. الن من رفع نفسه و ضع ومن وضع نفسه ر فع. THE SYNAXARION On February 17 in the Holy Orthodox Church, we commemorate the holy Great-Martyr Theodore the Soldier ( Tyro ); and Emperor Marcian and Empress Pulcheria of Constantinople. On this day, we make remembrance of the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, which occurs in the Holy Gospel according to Luke the Evangelist. Verses: If you resemble the Pharisee, run far away from the Temple; For inside is Christ before Whom only the humble are acceptable. Verses for the Triodion: O Creator of everything heavenly and earthly, receive Thou from the Angels a Trinitarian song, and from us men a noble and reverent Triodion. In our Savior s parable, Jesus uses a Pharisee, a leader of the synagogue, who was regarded in public opinion as 6

7 virtuous; and a publican, a tax collector, who was regarded as oppressive, greedy and a sinner. In their prayers to God, we discover the real hearts of these two men. We thus learn of the harm that comes from pride and the good that comes from humility. The divine Church Fathers sought to alert and prepare the Christ-loving clergy and laity for the upcoming period of the Great Fast. Therefore, on this Sunday we are reminded that humility is the greatest weapon against pride, as we imitate the humility of the publican to ascend to the divine heights. Through the intercessions of the wonderworking Saints, O Christ our God, have mercy upon us and save us. Amen.
