The Holy Orthodox Creed

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

بالحَقيقَةِ نُؤمِنُ بإلهٍ واحدٍ اللَّهُ الآبُ ضابطُ الكُلِّ خالِقُ السَّماءِ والأرضِ، ما يُرَى وما لا يُرَى.

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; 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; and He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose from the dead, according to the scriptures. Ascended into the heavens; He sits at the right hand of His Father; and He is coming again in His Glory, to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

نُؤمِنُ بربٍّ واحدٍ يَسوعِ المسيحِ إبْن اللهِ الوَحيدِ الموْلودِ مِنَ الآبِ قَبْلَ كلِّ الدُّهورِ. نورٌ مِنْ نورٍ إلهٌ حَقٌ مِنْ إلهٍ حَقٍّ، مَولودٌ غَيْرُ مَخْلوقٍ، مُساوٍ للآبِ فى الجَوْهرِ. الَّذى بِهِ كانَ كلُّ شئٍ. هَذا الَّذى مِنْ أجْلنا نَحنُ البَشَرَ ومِنْ أجْلِ خَلاصِنا نَزلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ وتَجسَّدَ مِنَ الرّوحِ القُّدُسِ، ومِنْ مَرْيَم العَذْراءِ تَأنَّسَ. وصُلبَ عنّا علَى عَهدِ بيلاطُس البنْطى، تألَّمَ وقُبرَ وقامَ مِن بَين الأمْواتِ فى اليَومِ الثّالثِ كَما في الكتُبِ، وصَعِدَ إلَى السَّمواتِ وجَلسَ عَنْ يَمينِ أبيهِ وأيْضاً يَأتي فى مَجدهِ ليُدينَ الأحْياءَ والأمْواتَ، الَّذى لَيسَ لملْكِهِ إنْقِضاءٌ.

Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who comes forth from the Father; Who, with the Father and the Son, is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. And in one, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, we confess One Baptism for the remission of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming age. Amen.

نَعَم نُؤمِنُ بالرّوحِ القُدُسِ، الرَّبُّ المحْيى المنْبَثقِ مِنَ الآبِ نَسْجُد لهُ ونُمجِّدهُ مَعَ الآبِ والإبْنِ النّاطِقِ فى الأنْبياءِ. وبكنيسَةٍ واحِدَةٍ مُقدَّسةٍ جامعَةٍ رسوليَّةٍ، ونَعْترِفُ بمَعْموديَّةٍ واحِدَةٍ لمغْفِرَةِ الخَطايا. وننْتَظرُ قِيامَةَ الأمْواتِ وحَياةَ الدَّهرِ الآتى. آمين.
