The Hymn of the Censer | |||
Meanwhile, the congregation says | |||
This censer of pure gold, bearing the aroma, is in the hands of Aaron the priest, offering up incense upon the altar. | Ⲧⲁⲓ ϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̀ⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲟⲥ: ⲉⲧϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲙⲁⲧⲁ: ⲉⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⲛ̀Ⲁⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲛ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲏⲃ: ⲉϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲟⲩⲥ̀ⲑⲟⲓⲛⲟⲩϥⲓ ⲉ̀ⲡ̀ϣⲱⲓ ⲉ̀ϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛ̀ⲉⲣϣⲱⲟⲩϣⲓ. | هذه المجمرة الذهب النقى الحاملة العنبر التى فى يدى هرون الكاهن يرفع بخوراً على المذبح. | |
In the event of the Feast of the Cross, and the ninth hour of the Good Friday, the congregation says | |||
The golden censer is the Virgin. Her aroma is our Saviour. She gave birth to Him. He saved us and forgave us our sins. | Ϯϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲧⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲑⲉⲛⲟⲥ: ⲡⲉⲥⲁ̀ⲣⲱⲙⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ: ⲁⲥⲙⲓⲥⲓ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟϥ ⲁϥⲥⲱϯ ⲙ̀ⲙⲟⲛ: ⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉ̀ⲃⲟⲗ. | المجمرة الذهب هى العذراء. وعنبرها هو مخلصنا. ولدته وخلصنا وغفر لنا خطايانا. | |
During the great lent, the congregation says | |||
You are the censer of pure gold, bearing the blessed ember. | Ⲛ̀ⲑⲟ ⲧⲉ ϯϣⲟⲩⲣⲏ: ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ⲛ̀ⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲟⲥ: ⲉⲧϥⲁⲓ ϧⲁ ⲡⲓϫⲉⲃⲥ: ⲛ̀ⲭ̀ⲣⲱⲙ ⲉⲧⲥ̀ⲙⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩⲧ. | أنت هى المجمرة الذهب النقى الحاملة جمر النار المبارك. |
