The Orthodox Creed

Congregation

Truly we believe in one God, God the Father, the Pantocrator, Who created heaven and earth, and all things, seen and unseen.

"en oumeqmhi tenna\; `eounou; `nouwt V; ~Viwt pipantokratwr> vh`etafqami`o `n`tve nem `pka\i> nh`etounau `erwou nem nh`ete `ncenau `erwou an.

بالحقيقة نؤمن بإله واحد، الله الآب، ضابط الكل، خالق السماء والأرض، ما يُرَى وما لا يرى.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of light; true God of true God; begotten, not created; of one essence with the Father; by Whom all things were made.

نؤمن برب واحد يسوع المسيح، ابن الله الوحيد، المولود من الآب قبل كل الدهور، نور من نور، إله حق من إله حق، مولود غير مخلوق، مساو للآب في الجوهر، الذى به كان كل شئ.

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man.

هذا الذي من أجلنا نحن البشر، ومن أجل خلاصنا، نزل من السماء، وتجسد من الروح القدس ومن مريم العذراء، وتأنس.

And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; suffered and was buried.

Ouo\ auer`ctaurwnin `mmof `e`\rhi `ejwn na\ren Pontioc Pilatoc> af]epemka\ ouo\ aukocf.

وصلب عنا على عهد بيلاطس البنطي. وتألم وقبر.

And the third day He rose from the dead, according to the scriptures.

Ouo\ aftwnf `ebol'en nheqmwout 'en pi`e\oou `mma\]omt kata ni`gravh.

وقام من بين الأموات في اليوم الثالث كما فى الكتب.

Ascended into the heavens; He sits at the right hand of His Father.

Af]enaf `e`p]wi `enivhou`i af\emci caou`inam `mpeviwt.

وصعد إلى السموات، وجلس عن يمين أبيه.

And He is coming again in His Glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

Ke palin `fnhou 'en pef`wou `e;\ap `enheton' nem nheqmwout> vh`ete tefmetouro ouaqmounk te.

وأيضا يأتي في مجده ليدين الأحياء والأموات، الذي ليس لملكه انقضاء.

Yes, we believe in the holy spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giver, Who proceeds from the Father; Who, with the Father and the Son, is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.

نعم نؤمن بالروح القدس، الرب المحيى المنبثق من الآب. نسجد له ونمجده مع الآب والابن، الناطق في الأنبياء.

And in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Eou`i `n`agia `nkaqolikh `n`apoctolikh `nek`klhci`a.

وبكنيسة واحدة مقدسة جامعة رسولية.

We confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

Tener`omologin `nouwmc `nouwt> `e`pxw ebol `nte ninobi.

ونعترف بمعمودية واحدة لمغفرة الخطايا.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming age. Amen.

Meanwhile, the priest proceeds to wash his hands three times. In the first time, he says

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash and I shall be whiter than snow.

Ek`enouj' `ejwi `mpek]en\ucwpon ei`etoubo> ek`era't ei`eouba] `e\ote ouxiwn.

تنضح على بزوفاك فأطهر. تغسلنى فأبيض أكثر من الثلج.

In the second time, he says

Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which are broken may rejoice.

Ek`e`qricwtem `eouqelhl nem ouounof> eu`eqelhl `mmwou `nje nikac etqebi`hout.

تسمعنى سرورا وفرحا فتبتهج العظام المتواضعة.

In the third time, he says

I will wash my hands in innocence, and go about Thy Alter, O Lord, to hear the voice of Thy praises. Alleluia.

:naia tot `ebol 'en peqouab> ouo\ `ntakw; `epekma`ner]wou]i ~P_> `e`pjintacwtem `e`p`'rwou `nte pek`cmou> allhlouia.

أغسل يدى بالنقاوة وأطوف بمذبحك يا رب لكيما أسمع صوت تسبيحك. هللويا.

Then the priest spatters his wet hands towards the congregation. This is to tell them that they are respoonsible for their communion, and he is innocent of any inquity that anyone makes by taking the communion without right and not telling him. Then the priest dries his hand in a clean cloth.
