Songs in ancient Greek: Holy Holy Holy
Posted: October 3rd, 2011, 12:50 am
Hello all,
Here is my first attempt [subsequent changes have been incorporated] at the song "Holy, Holy, Holy." I know its a hard thing to convert a song in one language to another, but we do have a lot of parallels in the church fathers. τί φρονεῖς; any suggestions? Anyone want to give a try at recording it? Hopefully, I have not there are no blatant gaffs. οἶμοι τάλας ἔγωγε. τί ποιήσω;

1. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
1 ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος,
2 ὁ θεὸς Κύριος παντοκράτωρ
3 ὄρθρου βαθέος
4 ἡ ᾠδὴ ἡμῶν ἀρεῖται εἰς σέ.
5 ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος,
6 δυνατός ἔτι ἵλεως ὤν
7 ἐν τρῖσι ὁ θεὸς εἶς
8 ἡ εὐλογητὴ τρίας.
2. Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
9 ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος,
10 πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σοι εὐδοκοῦσιν
11 καταβάλλωντες τοὺς χρυσοῦς στεφάνους
12 παρὰ τὴν ὑαλίνην θάλασσαν [was θάλασσαν ὑαλίνην ]
13 οἱ δὲ χερουβὶν καὶ οἱ σεραφὶν
14 προσπίπτουσιν ἔμπροσθέν σου
15 ὃς ἦν καὶ ὢν καὶ ἐρχόμενος
16 εἰς αιῶνας δὴ ἔσται. [was ἔσῃ]
3. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love and purity.
17 ἅγιε, ἅγιε, ἅγιε [was ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος ]
18 καίπερ τοῦ σκότους σε κρύψαντος [ was τὸ σκότος σε κρύψαν]
19 καίπερ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν ὀφθαλμῶν [was οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν]
20 τὴν σὴν δόξαν μὴ ἑωρακότων [ was ἑωρακότες ]
21 σύγε μόνος εἶ ἅγιος
22 οὐδεὶς παρά σε στήκει
23 τέλειος ἐν δυνάμει
24 ἀγάπῃ τε κ' ἁγιωσύνῃ
4. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name,
in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
25 ἅγιε, ἅγιε, ἅγιε [was ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος ]
26 θεὲ Κύριε παντοκράτορ [was ὁ θεὸς Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ]
27 πάντα τὰ ἔργα σου
28 ἦ μὴν ἐπαινέσει σε.
29 ἅγιος, ἅγιος, ἅγιος,
30 δυνατός ἔτι ἵλεως ὤν
31 ἐν τρῖσι ὁ θεὸς εἶς
32 ἡ εὐλογητὴ τρίας.
