Introduction to the Fraction

Priest

Again let us give thanks unto God the Pantocrator, the Father of our Lord God and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛ ϣⲉⲡϩ̀ⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̀ⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲙ̀Ⲫϯ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲛⲧⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ: Ⲫ̀ⲓⲱⲧ ⲙ̀Ⲡⲉⲛⲟ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ Ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ: ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ Ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ Ⲡⲓⲭ̀ⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ.

وأيضاً فلنشكر الله ضابط الكل أبا ربنا وإلهنا ومخلصنا يسوع المسيح.

For He also has made us worthy now to stand up in this holy place, to lift up our hands and to serve His Holy Name.

Ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲑ̀ⲣⲉⲛⲉⲣⲡ̀ⲉⲙⲡ̀ϣⲁ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲉ̀ⲟ̀ϩⲓ ⲉ̀ⲣⲁⲧⲉⲛ: ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ⲉ̀ⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲫⲁⲓ: ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉ̀ϥⲁⲓ ⲛ̀ⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⲉ̀ⲡ̀ϣⲱⲓ: ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉ̀ϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲉ̀ⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.

لأنه جعلنا أهلاً الآن أن نقف فى هذا الموضع المقدس ونرفع أيدينا إلى فوق ونخدم اسمه القدوس.

Let us also ask Him to make us worthy of the communion and partaking of His divine and immortal mysteries.

Ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛϯϩⲟ ⲉ̀ⲣⲟϥ: ϩⲟⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉϥⲁⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲛ̀ⲉⲙⲡ̀ϣⲁ ⲛ̀ϯⲙⲉⲧϣ̀ⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲁ̀ⲗⲩⲙⲯⲓⲥ: ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲩⲥⲧⲏⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛ̀ⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛ̀ⲁⲑⲙⲟⲩ.

هو أيضاً فلنسأله أن يجعلنا مستحقين لشركة وصعود أسراره الإلهية غير المائتة.

The priest puts down the corporals covering his hands and holds the holy body in his left hand. Then he puts his right index-finger near the bodikin at the break and says

The holy body.

Ⲡⲓⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉ̀ⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.

الجسد المقدس.

Congregation

We worship Thine holy body.

Ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙ̀ⲡⲉⲕⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲉ̀ⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ.

نسجد لجسدك المقدس.

The priest removes his finger from the body, slightly dips it in the blood and removes it. He signs the cross on the blood and says

And the precious blood.

Ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲓⲥ̀ⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ.

والدم الكريم.

Congregation

And Thy precious blood.

Ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲕⲥ̀ⲛⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲧⲁⲓⲏⲟⲩⲧ.

ولدمك الكريم.

Then the priest removes his finger from the chalice, signs the sign of the cross with the dipped finger on the top and bottom of the body and says

Of His Christ, the Pantocrator, the Lord, our God.

Ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ Ⲡⲉϥⲭ̀ⲣⲓⲭⲧⲟⲥ: ⲛ̀ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲡⲁⲛⲧⲟⲕⲣⲁⲧⲱⲣ Ⲡ̀ⲟ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ.
