I will beseech the 05Parp4    75:5 | listens to what I say. I will beseech the king and 05Parp4    75:9 | great and excellent land: show me a man in such a 05Parp4    75:13 | Now I have already fought two battles 05Parp4    75:13 | third will be the one I fight with you. During those 05Parp4    75:16 | over his servants, and if I had control of it, as 05Parp4    75:16 | had control of it, as my ancestors did, and if I 05Parp4    75:16 | my ancestors did, and if I boldly dared to requite the 05Parp4    75:16 | good fighters with honor, then I could show the lord of 05Parp4    75:16 | were better and braver men, I would not permit the weak 05Parp4    75:19 | you all know that since I was left (an orphan) as 05Parp4    75:19 | boy by (the death of) my ( fore)fathers I know not 05Parp4    75:19 | death of) my (fore)fathers I know not their merits in 05Parp4    75:19 | the Aryan world, nor was I in any way a participant 05Parp4    75:20 | But when I became a conscious person, and 05Parp4    75:20 | of serving your Aryan lord, I resolved before God and man 05Parp4    75:21 | The more I concerned myself with doing good 05Parp4    75:21 | good things, and the more I labored, the more your evil 05Parp4    75:21 | evil unworthy Armenian princes slandered me. And you listened to them 05Parp4    75:21 | and did not look upon me fairly 05Parp4    75:22 | I wondered how I could correct 05Parp4    75:22 | I wondered how I could correct the views about 05Parp4    75:22 | could correct the views about me held by the lord of 05Parp4    75:22 | and the awags. Even if I found no favor, it was 05Parp4    75:22 | favor, it was important to me that at least they regard 05Parp4    75:22 | that at least they regard me correctly 05Parp4    75:23 | When I could discover no shortcoming in 05Parp4    75:23 | no shortcoming in the service I had rendered, and was unable 05Parp4    75:23 | to do any more, when I was unable to stop the 05Parp4    75:23 | to stop the mouths of my enemies who slandered me (and 05Parp4    75:23 | of my enemies who slandered me ( and saw that your ears 05Parp4    75:23 | you would not think about me honestly), when I could find 05Parp4    75:23 | think about me honestly), when I could find no alleviation of 05Parp4    75:23 | which had taken hold of me, when I was unable to 05Parp4    75:23 | taken hold of me, when I was unable to flee the 05Parp4    75:23 | unable to flee the land, I had a wicked thought—I 05Parp4    75:23 | I had a wicked thought— I wanted to kill myself. Unfortunately 05Parp4    75:24 | I had apostasized the Truth I 05Parp4    75:24 | I had apostasized the Truth I had known, that God is 05Parp4    75:24 | creator and lord of all. I worshipped falseness and error. Today 05Parp4    75:24 | worshipped falseness and error. Today I confess to you and to 05Parp4    75:24 | doing the destructive thing that I did (i.e., conversion 05Parp4    75:24 | destructive thing that I did ( i. e., conversion 05Parp4    75:25 | I was daily plagued with fear 05Parp4    75:25 | daily plagued with fear that I might die with this sin 05Parp4    75:25 | eternally lost. Taking charge of my soul, I rejected the fear 05Parp4    75:25 | Taking charge of my soul, I rejected the fear of kings 05Parp4    75:26 | Now I am happy and ready for 05Parp4    75:26 | grief and death.

For everything is 05Parp4    76:16 | transitory, physical life, and should I be able to buy it 05Parp4    76:16 | out of love for life, I would certainly give everything I 05Parp4    76:16 | I would certainly give everything I have in my poverty, and 05Parp4    76:16 | give everything I have in my poverty, and purchase (life). But 05Parp4    76:17 | Why should I now conduct such a calamitous 05Parp4    76:17 | business at the expense of my apostasy, for life, when soon 05Parp4    76:17 | itself will be taken from me together with the glory and 05Parp4    76:17 | and very great honors? No, I have chosen (the faith) that 05Parp4    76:17 | have chosen (the faith) that I now hold, and regard it 05Parp4    76:17 | it as good and honorable. I am glad and pleased to 05Parp4    77:17 | So that my words do not seem contradictory 05Parp4    77:17 | not seem contradictory to some, I ( state that) I will not 05Parp4    77:17 | to some, I (state that) I will not permit (these) world 05Parp4    77:18 | Because on the day of my venerable brother’s martyrdom, I foresaw 05Parp4    77:18 | of my venerable brother’s martyrdom, I foresaw the martyrdom and I 05Parp4    77:18 | I foresaw the martyrdom and I saw him receive his crown 05Parp4    77:18 | it. And before the end I was shown the color and 05Parp4    77:18 | light the like of which I cannot describe 05Parp4    77:19 | the appearance of his face, I wanted to look at him 05Parp4    77:19 | light from his face struck me with awe 05Parp4    77:20 | of his miraculous color then. I realized right away that he 05Parp4    77:20 | he would be taken from me and mingle with other hosts 05Parp4    77:21 | And I tell you, do not seek 05Parp4    77:23 | But so that I do not appear (overly) jealous 05Parp4    77:23 | troops and naxarars of Armenia. I will not prevent anyone from 05Parp4    79:7 | and trusty, committed allies. Should I be able to pry them 05Parp4    80:9 | take your women and through my intercession, I will get the 05Parp4    80:9 | women and through my intercession, I will get the king of 05Parp4    80:9 | the damage you have done. I will bestow upon you what 05Parp4    80:9 | now on, without fear. Because I love you as a son 05Parp4    80:9 | love you as a son I am advising you in such 05Parp4    82:0 | and experience Vahan Mamikonean’s bravery. I am unable to fathom the 05Parp4    82:2 | Now tell me, what is the man doing 05Parp4    82:3 | us retreat in shame. Furthermore, I am unsure about our retreat 05Parp4    82:5 | you only left him to me, in but five days, with 05Parp4    82:5 | in but five days, with my brigade alone I would show 05Parp4    82:5 | days, with my brigade alone I would show you how severely 05Parp4    82:5 | would show you how severely I would defeat him and those 05Parp4    83:7 | wishes to fulfill (His) promises, ( i. e., that each of us 05Parp4    83:13 | voice: “Let no one tell me to take care, for I 05Parp4    83:13 | me to take care, for I do not place my hopes 05Parp4    83:13 | for I do not place my hopes in man or pride 05Parp4    83:13 | myself in them—God forbid!

In my own language I loudly shouted out to our 08Ghev1    11:3 | service to us, grasp this: I will turn your country into 08Ghev1    11:6 | expressed your wicked desires about my beautiful virgins, and this has 08Ghev1    11:7 | tributary to anyone, nor will I be the one to effect 08Ghev1    11:7 | merely want a gift from me, after the manner of kings 08Ghev1    11:7 | after the manner of kings, I will give it to you 08Ghev1    11:8 | again wrote to Chenbakur: “Give me [30,000] girls and I will leave 08Ghev1    11:8 | Chenbakur: “Give me [30,000] girls and I will leave you in peace 08Ghev1    11:8 | leave you in peace, otherwise I will come against you in 08Ghev1    11:8 | are in your army until I implement your request 08Ghev1    11:10 | girls which you requested from me and which I selected from 08Ghev1    11:10 | requested from me and which I selected from throughout my entire 08Ghev1    11:10 | which I selected from throughout my entire kingdom for your notables 08Ghev1    11:11 | corresponding to the number of my girls, cross over to this 08Ghev1    11:11 | side of the river, and I will give those arriving my 08Ghev1    11:11 | I will give those arriving my girls by casting lots, so 08Ghev1    13:5 | There has often come over me a desire to know the 08Ghev1    13:5 | study of your beliefs, but I have not hitherto been able 08Ghev1    13:5 | hitherto been able to realize my intentions in this regard 08Ghev1    13:6 | So I pray you, tell me truly 08Ghev1    13:6 | So I pray you, tell me truly, why was it that 08Ghev1    13:14 | Send me explications on these points, all 08Ghev1    13:14 | all of them, so that I may know your religious opinions 08Ghev1    14:1 | What exact reply can I make (to all the arguments 08Ghev1    14:7 | you, and in hearkening to me, you will, as Isaiah says 08Ghev1    14:8 | It is truly difficult, let me tell you, to refute even 08Ghev1    14:8 | obstinately persisting in it. Let me explain it to you this 08Ghev1    14:9 | having been tempted by Satan, “ I came naked from my mother’s 08Ghev1    14:9 | Satan, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and naked shall 08Ghev1    14:9 | mother’s womb, and naked shall I return; the Lord gave, and 08Ghev1    14:11 | your despotism, nevertheless listen to my replies. You say that we 08Ghev1    14:16 | I shall also show you all 08Ghev1    14:16 | God, point by point, in my present letter, attributing the most 08Ghev1    14:18 | I reply that the truth cannot 08Ghev1    14:27 | Now I ask you in brief, tell 08Ghev1    14:27 | ask you in brief, tell me please: Is the testimony borne 08Ghev1    14:29 | spirit resemble him”. In reply, I am much astonished, not only 08Ghev1    14:38 | I suppose, too, that you are 08Ghev1    14:40 | Hear my third response. The captivity of 08Ghev1    14:43 | Ezekiel says of himself that “ I was among the exiles by 08Ghev1    14:45 | was composed by human genius.” I know that you attack the 08Ghev1    14:54 | God says: “See now that I, even I, am he, and 08Ghev1    14:54 | See now that I, even I, am he, and there is 08Ghev1    14:54 | there is no god beside me; I kill and I make 08Ghev1    14:54 | is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive 08Ghev1    14:54 | beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and 08Ghev1    14:54 | kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and 08Ghev1    14:54 | make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none 08Ghev1    14:54 | that can deliver out of my hand 08Ghev1    14:55 | to judgment, He says: “If I whet my glittering sword, and 08Ghev1    14:55 | He says: “If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand 08Ghev1    14:55 | whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment 08Ghev1    14:55 | hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance on my 08Ghev1    14:55 | I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will requite those 08Ghev1    14:55 | will requite those who hate me.” [Deut. 32:41]. As regards hell (He says 08Ghev1    14:55 | hell (He says): “For in my anger a fire is kindled 08Ghev1    14:56 | John have written the Gospel”, I know that this truth, recognized 08Ghev1    14:59 | I repeat, it was for this 08Ghev1    14:61 | the Father will send in my name, he will teach you 08Ghev1    14:61 | to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” [John 14:26]. He 08Ghev1    14:61 | the Father will send in my name”, whereas your Muhammad did 08Ghev1    14:62 | As I have already said earlier, our 08Ghev1    14:66 | This is what I mean: According to your own 08Ghev1    14:71 | I have said minor, because there 08Ghev1    14:74 | has been spread abroad, let me indicate a few of them 08Ghev1    14:78 | But I am greatly astonished as you 08Ghev1    14:81 | to what Moses was told: “ I am the God of Abraham 08Ghev1    14:81 | fire from the Lord” [Genesis 19:24]. These I quote from the books of 08Ghev1    14:83 | Listen to this, I beg you, and then answer 08Ghev1    14:85 | I was forced to make use 08Ghev1    14:91 | and into such unchasteness as I am ashamed to speak of 08Ghev1    14:94 | gradually, little by little, as I have noted above, until the 08Ghev1    14:98 | Now I shall cite for you a 08Ghev1    14:98 | with pleasure. In this manner, I hope that I shall succeed 08Ghev1    14:98 | this manner, I hope that I shall succeed in elevating you 08Ghev1    14:98 | of Him and note: “But I am a worm, and no 08Ghev1    14:99 | All who see me mock at me, they make 08Ghev1    14:99 | who see me mock at me, they make mouths at me 08Ghev1    14:99 | me, they make mouths at me, they wag their heads; ’He 08Ghev1    14:100 | terms: “The Lord said to me, ’you are my son, today 08Ghev1    14:100 | said to me, ’you are my son, today I have begotten 08Ghev1    14:100 | ’you are my son, today I have begotten you’.” [Psalm 2:7]. To indicate 08Ghev1    14:100 | same (Prophet) adds: “Ask of me, and I will make the 08Ghev1    14:100 | adds: “Ask of me, and I will make the nations your 08Ghev1    14:101 | Again “The Lord says to my Lord: ’Sit at my right 08Ghev1    14:101 | to my Lord: ’Sit at my right hand, till I make 08Ghev1    14:101 | at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool 08Ghev1    14:101 | the beauty of your saints I have begotten you from the 08Ghev1    14:102 | says): “The Lord has sent me and his Spirit 08Ghev1    14:108 | And again: “ I see him, but not now 08Ghev1    14:108 | see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh 08Ghev1    14:115 | you shall come forth for me one who is to be 08Ghev1    14:120 | to David in these words: “ I will establish his line for 08Ghev1    14:123 | There are still many passages I could cite (on this subject 08Ghev1    14:123 | cite (on this subject) but I have preferred to limit them 08Ghev1    14:124 | the Holy Spirit spoke thus: “ I was not rebellious, I turned 08Ghev1    14:124 | thus: “I was not rebellious, I turned not backward. I gave 08Ghev1    14:124 | rebellious, I turned not backward. I gave my back to the 08Ghev1    14:124 | turned not backward. I gave my back to the smiters, and 08Ghev1    14:124 | back to the smiters, and my cheeks to those who pulled 08Ghev1    14:124 | who pulled out the beard; I hid not my face from 08Ghev1    14:124 | the beard; I hid not my face from shame and spitting 08Ghev1    14:124 | seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not 08Ghev1    14:124 | right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep 08Ghev1    14:125 | And they weighed out as my wages thirty shekels of silver 08Ghev1    14:126 | the sufferings): “He who ate my bread, has lifted his heel 08Ghev1    14:126 | has lifted his heel against me.” [Psalm 41:9]. Listen to the other testimony 08Ghev1    14:126 | other testimony from Isaiah: “Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall 08Ghev1    14:130 | stricken for the transgression of my people? (And they made his 08Ghev1    14:133 | Levi, many years before as I said. Your objections are totally 08Ghev1    14:133 | is purely human invention, but I shall endeavor to dry them 08Ghev1    14:135 | your legislator knew, and then I shall be convinced that you 08Ghev1    14:137 | the Communion you will have my response in its proper place 08Ghev1    14:139 | willing, remove this cup from me,” [Luke 22; 42], indicating that He was really 08Ghev1    14:140 | the Father who dwells in me does his work.” [John 5:19; 14:10]. If you 08Ghev1    14:140 | you believe in the words “ I can do nothing on my 08Ghev1    14:140 | I can do nothing on my own”, you must also believe 08Ghev1    14:140 | the Father who dwells in me does his works 08Ghev1    14:141 | of a mere man; if, I repeat, you believe all this 08Ghev1    14:141 | said in the same book: “ I lay (my life) down of 08Ghev1    14:141 | the same book: “I lay ( my life) down of my own 08Ghev1    14:141 | lay (my life) down of my own accord. I have power 08Ghev1    14:141 | down of my own accord. I have power to lay it 08Ghev1    14:141 | to lay it down, and I have power to take it 08Ghev1    14:142 | as you pretend “God sent me into the world and I 08Ghev1    14:142 | me into the world and I shall return to Him.” On 08Ghev1    14:142 | Father (who sent) is with me” [John 16:32]. Again, “I came from the 08Ghev1    14:142 | sent) is with me” [John 16:32]. Again, “ I came from the Father, and 08Ghev1    14:142 | come into the world; again I am leaving the world and 08Ghev1    14:143 | this: “He who believes in me, believes not in me but 08Ghev1    14:143 | in me, believes not in me but in him who sent 08Ghev1    14:143 | but in him who sent me.” [John 12:44]. The meaning of this is 08Ghev1    14:144 | as follows: “He who rejects me, rejects Him who sent me 08Ghev1    14:144 | me, rejects Him who sent me”, and “He who sees me 08Ghev1    14:144 | me”, and “He who sees me, sees Him who sent me 08Ghev1    14:144 | me, sees Him who sent me.” [John 12:45,48]. He was sent as a 08Ghev1    14:144 | The Father is greater than I” [John 14:28]; that is to say, greater 08Ghev1    14:144 | is to say, greater than ( my) human nature, for otherwise He 08Ghev1    14:144 | said a little later on, “ I and my Father are one 08Ghev1    14:144 | little later on, “I and my Father are one.” [John 10:30]. In His 08Ghev1    14:146 | to a true God, as I have mentioned several times. Under 08Ghev1    14:146 | divine voice, saying: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I 08Ghev1    14:146 | my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” [Matt. 3:17], was seized 08Ghev1    14:149 | put Him to death. But ( I ask you), if (Jesus) were 08Ghev1    14:152 | note: “He who has seen me has seen the Father” [John 14:9], “as 08Ghev1    14:152 | Father” [John 14:9], “as the Father knows me and I know the Father 08Ghev1    14:152 | the Father knows me and I know the Father” [John 10:15], “the Father 08Ghev1    14:152 | the Father who has sent me is with me” [John 16:32], “I am 08Ghev1    14:152 | has sent me is with me” [John 16:32], “ I am ascending to my 08Ghev1    14:152 | sent me is with me” [John 16:32], “ I am ascending to my Father 08Ghev1    14:152 | me” [John 16:32], “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to 08Ghev1    14:152 | Father and your Father, to my God and your God 08Ghev1    14:153 | As the Father has sent me, even so I send you 08Ghev1    14:153 | has sent me, even so I send you.” [John 20:21; Matt. 28:18 [Arm. text]]. Thus all the 08Ghev1    14:154 | coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant 08Ghev1    14:154 | not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when 08Ghev1    14:154 | made with their fathers when I took them by the hand 08Ghev1    14:157 | Eldest among the dead. Had I recognized you as one who 08Ghev1    14:157 | justice, nothing would have hindered me from giving exposition of each 08Ghev1    14:162 | Prophet Ezekiel, in these words: “ I will sprinkle clean water upon 08Ghev1    14:162 | and from all your idols I will cleanse you 08Ghev1    14:163 | of the Prophet’s prediction that “ I have given you as a 08Ghev1    14:167 | outraged and reduced yourselves. For I am doing a work in 08Ghev1    14:168 | Nor have I forgotten the objection raised by 08Ghev1    14:169 | I suppose that you know there 08Ghev1    14:172 | to save him, since, as I have said, there is nothing 08Ghev1    14:175 | holy men that God note: “ I will live in them and 08Ghev1    14:175 | is the man to whom I will look, he that is 08Ghev1    14:175 | in spirit, and trembles at my word 08Ghev1    14:176 | have been a living temple I submit to you the following 08Ghev1    14:176 | you the following proposition as I perceive you to be envious 08Ghev1    14:180 | I presume that you are not 08Ghev1    14:181 | for that which seems to me and to you unclean is 08Ghev1    14:186 | to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make 08Ghev1    14:186 | place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of 08Ghev1    14:186 | will make the place of my feet glorious.” [Isaiah 60:13]. Solomon says: “Blessed 08Ghev1    14:190 | it the dwelling of Abraham. I wish not to be insulting 08Ghev1    14:190 | insulting you by saying that I shall prove my point by 08Ghev1    14:190 | saying that I shall prove my point by passages from the 08Ghev1    14:194 | I will allow myself to say 08Ghev1    14:194 | wives which he has compared, I am ashamed to say, to 08Ghev1    14:194 | of tilling fields. Nor can I forget the unchaste approach of 08Ghev1    14:195 | Uriah’s wife, as you remind me, it is well known that 08Ghev1    14:196 | this you do well, for I know nothing worse than not 08Ghev1    14:197 | I would prefer not to say 08Ghev1    14:197 | of another. And what shall I say of the execrable debauchery 08Ghev1    14:203 | the twelve Prophets: “Wait for me for the day when I 08Ghev1    14:203 | me for the day when I arise 08Ghev1    14:206 | I do not want to forget 08Ghev1    14:207 | later on the Prophet says: “ I saw riders, a pair of 08Ghev1    14:209 | you also fail into idolatry. I have said above that the 08Ghev1    14:209 | Prophet reveals clearly by saying: “ I saw the same horseman who 08Ghev1    14:216 | Behold the short reply that I addressed to you. For the 08Ghev1    14:216 | to us: “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if 08Ghev1    14:216 | persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours 08Ghev1    14:216 | will do to you on my account, because they do not 08Ghev1    14:216 | not know him who sent me 08Ghev1    14:217 | addressed to the Father, note: “ ( I have manifested thy name to 08Ghev1    14:217 | the men) whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine 08Ghev1    14:217 | and thou gavest them to me* ’ [John 17:6], and “they are not 08Ghev1    14:217 | of the world, even as I am not of the world 08Ghev1    14:217 | not of the world, but I chose you out of the 08Ghev1    20:5 | country during your reign. With my own hand I have ruined 08Ghev1    20:5 | reign. With my own hand I have ruined many of your 08Ghev1    20:5 | of your cities, and with my own sword I have slain 08Ghev1    20:5 | and with my own sword I have slain multitudes of your 08Ghev1    20:6 | you do not become tributary I have sworn an oath that 08Ghev1    20:6 | have sworn an oath that I will not return to the 08Ghev1    20:6 | return to the land of my birth until I have eliminated 08Ghev1    20:6 | land of my birth until I have eliminated your kingdom and 08Ghev1    20:6 | which you named (Haghia) Sophia, I will turn it into a 08Ghev1    20:6 | into a bath house for my soldiers and the wood of 08Ghev1    20:6 | the cross that you revere I will smash over your head 08Ghev1    20:13 | of His name, and against me, the protector of the throne 08Ghev1    20:14 | you led into slavery from my country 08Ghev1    20:18 | around and distance yourself from me you will choose what is 08Ghev1    20:28 | attack our country, mercilessly put my troops to the sword and 08Ghev1    20:28 | and lead the inhabitants of my cities into slavery 08Ghev1    20:29 | Indeed, the Lord has judged my case and turned your impiety 08Ghev1    20:29 | innocent (which you shed). So I shall not put forth my 08Ghev1    20:29 | I shall not put forth my hand against you and not 08Ghev1    20:29 | For behold, you are in my hands. I am sovereign over 08Ghev1    20:29 | you are in my hands. I am sovereign over you, to 08Ghev1    20:29 | kill or spare (you as I choose). But you will not 08Ghev1    20:30 | to the emperor: “What shall I say before you about these 08Ghev1    20:30 | about these things, for truly I am unworthy of life. The 08Ghev1    20:30 | of life.

( I thought that) I might obtain 09Draskh1    31:6 | benefit also. (I thought that) I might obtain with ease those 09Draskh1    31:6 | for your own use. Likewise, I wished to clear the way 09Draskh1    32:4 | I shall not speak of the 09Draskh1    32:8 | My gracious and beloved lords and 09Draskh1    32:8 | beloved lords and dear brethren, I learned of the universal destruction 09Draskh1    32:8 | anger for our multiplying sins. I was also informed of the 09Draskh1    32:15 | For I agree with the Scriptures in 09Draskh1    36:8 | After Mashtoc’ I, Yovhannes, who wrote this book 09Draskh1    36:8 | wretched man, eager to quench my thirst for spiritual admonition, was 09Draskh1    36:8 | holy see not because of my virtues, but rather due to 09Draskh1    36:8 | due to the fact that I could not refuse the order 09Draskh1    36:10 | Although I had been a disciple of 09Draskh1    36:10 | the blessed Mashtoc’ ever since my childhood, and was related to 09Draskh1    36:10 | blinded by the beam of my sins, I did not deem 09Draskh1    36:10 | the beam of my sins, I did not deem myself worthy 09Draskh1    36:10 | mote in the eye of my brother, nor did I think 09Draskh1    36:10 | of my brother, nor did I think that I was a 09Draskh1    36:10 | nor did I think that I was a foremost authority on 09Draskh1    36:11 | And yet, once again I preferred to manifest my obedience 09Draskh1    36:11 | again I preferred to manifest my obedience, which is the mother 09Draskh1    36:11 | better than a choice sacrifice, I was elevated to the present 09Draskh1    36:11 | present (office), and had as my only guiding hope the philanthropy 09Draskh1    38:11 | reached king Smbat, he advised me to go and resolve the 09Draskh1    38:11 | with the expectation that perhaps I could close the doorway of 09Draskh1    38:12 | I went and persuaded the princess 09Draskh1    38:13 | Then I acquired from the prince a 09Draskh1    38:14 | After receiving the fortress, I handed it over to the 09Draskh1    38:15 | But I employed the power invested in 09Draskh1    38:15 | employed the power invested in me by the gospels, and having 09Draskh1    39:11 | eternal sadness. With consoling words I restored in him the hope 09Draskh1    40:15 | In addition, I myself, who wrote this work 09Draskh1    40:15 | suitable for a man in my position, and received a mule 09Draskh1    43:7 | conduct, and the other naxarars, I set out, and went to 09Draskh1    43:8 | Besides these, I also took with me an 09Draskh1    43:8 | these, I also took with me an additional gift that I 09Draskh1    43:8 | me an additional gift that I could afford from the sacred 09Draskh1    43:8 | our house, so that somehow I might be able to come 09Draskh1    43:9 | Although at first he received me cordially, honored me with royal 09Draskh1    43:9 | he received me cordially, honored me with royal dignity and great 09Draskh1    43:9 | the king in peace, yet, I suspect that due to the 09Draskh1    43:10 | by fatal perfidy, he seized me and confined me in a 09Draskh1    43:10 | he seized me and confined me in a dark dungeon, which 09Draskh1    43:10 | overwhelming uproar surrounded and stupefied me 09Draskh1    43:11 | ostikan came out thus against me, suddenly, like a flying bird 09Draskh1    43:14 | But I had my eyes set on 09Draskh1    43:14 | But I had my eyes set on the arrival 09Draskh1    43:14 | arrival of king Gagik, because I hoped that somehow he might 09Draskh1    43:14 | as his Christian duty, help me to be released from my 09Draskh1    43:14 | me to be released from my confinement. But my expectations were 09Draskh1    43:14 | released from my confinement. But my expectations were not fulfilled and 09Draskh1    43:14 | expectations were not fulfilled and I was subjected to more severe 09Draskh1    43:14 | more severe incarceration because of my sins 09Draskh1    43:15 | came to our land, where I followed him in fetters 09Draskh1    43:27 | the other hand he incarcerated me in the city of Dvin 09Draskh1    43:27 | bars and in fetters. Thenceforth I was subjected to beating, confinement 09Draskh1    43:27 | dark and narrow places by my executioners whose insults bore the 09Draskh1    43:27 | the stench of death. Also I was cast into the depths 09Draskh1    43:27 | of pits and dungeons which I suffered in bitter agony 09Draskh1    43:28 | guards never ceased to bother me, and because of that I 09Draskh1    43:28 | me, and because of that I could not sleep and rest 09Draskh1    43:28 | could not sleep and rest my body 09Draskh1    44:8 | Thereupon, I was compelled to ask for 09Draskh1    44:8 | to ask the sandaramet Prodoriad. I took this course of action 09Draskh1    44:8 | not so much because of my fear of death, which is 09Draskh1    44:8 | God, but because he kept me for acquiring gold, and I 09Draskh1    44:8 | me for acquiring gold, and I had frequently paid the unjust 09Draskh1    44:8 | exactions with the money that I had raised with the help 09Draskh1    44:8 | help of many (friends). Yet, I had run short of funds 09Draskh1    44:8 | no one who could help me, I was forced to act 09Draskh1    44:8 | one who could help me, I was forced to act accordingly 09Draskh1    44:9 | Through the heaven sent succour I was able to get myself 09Draskh1    44:9 | the ostikan, and out of my fear of the obstinate Pharaoh 09Draskh1    44:9 | fear of the obstinate Pharaoh, I ran away from him and 09Draskh1    44:9 | Madian like Moses; like Elijah I fled the second Jezabel and 09Draskh1    44:10 | extensively spread throughout our land, I heeded the order of the 09Draskh1    44:10 | Aghuank’) in the East, where I went to stay with the 09Draskh1    44:10 | the large allowance set for me that paid for all of 09Draskh1    44:10 | that paid for all of my needs 09Draskh1    45:13 | Behold! Henceforward my heart will be tormented with 09Draskh1    45:13 | be tormented with agony and my stomach will shrink from shedding 09Draskh1    45:15 | located in the storage of my mind, has become so dull 09Draskh1    45:15 | it is incapable of helping me to put to words my 09Draskh1    45:15 | me to put to words my thoughts on the considerable number 09Draskh1    45:16 | Nevertheless, I shall call upon the outspoken 09Draskh1    45:16 | outspoken Isaiah to come to my succor and teach me how 09Draskh1    45:16 | to my succor and teach me how to play the philosopher 09Draskh1    45:17 | stand up, and look at me, O Jerusalem, that hast drunk 09Draskh1    45:18 | I refer now to another passage 09Draskh1    45:18 | refer now to another passage: “ I looked for some one who 09Draskh1    45:18 | one who could grieve with me but there was none; and 09Draskh1    45:18 | but there was none; and I found no comforters 09Draskh1    46:1 | Henceforth, once again I shall turn my words into 09Draskh1    46:1 | once again I shall turn my words into laments, and with 09Draskh1    46:3 | At this point, let me not disregard also the other 09Draskh1    46:3 | also the other prophesy whereby, “ I will meet them (...] like a 09Draskh1    46:3 | that are clad in wickedness, I will meet them by the 09Draskh1    46:4 | man of God will confront me, and publicly announce to us 09Draskh1    46:6 | Smbat’s sister. In accordance with my earlier account, he had submitted 09Draskh1    46:9 | For this very reason I made mention of my grief 09Draskh1    46:9 | reason I made mention of my grief for those beloved people 09Draskh1    46:10 | it is not proper for me to speak individually at this 09Draskh1    46:21 | Let these suffice; I shall return to the sequence 09Draskh1    46:21 | return to the sequence of my history, in order not to 09Draskh1    46:21 | in order not to leave my narrative incomplete 09Draskh1    48:8 | snares of the ostikan, as I narrated earlier. Those (who survived 09Draskh1    49:8 | whose memory alone is turning me to tears 09Draskh1    51:42 | All of these saints, whom I have mentioned, are always justly 09Draskh1    51:50 | I wrote an account of these 09Draskh1    52:1 | Now, I am compelled to utter words 09Draskh1    53:23 | At this point, I tremble and shudder with horror 09Draskh1    53:23 | with horror at the account I am about to give. For 09Draskh1    53:34 | the time of these afflictions I was an expatriate dwelling in 09Draskh1    53:34 | that province. Although he honored me greatly as his guest and 09Draskh1    53:34 | a generous allowance, yet, as my stay there was prolonged like 09Draskh1    53:34 | in the tent of Kedar, I was tormented by great grief 09Draskh1    54:1 | had come upon us, wrote me the following letter: “To the 09Draskh1    54:2 | I think that your God-loving 09Draskh1    54:8 | My Humility made haste to write 09Draskh1    54:16 | with the love of Christ, I was able to persuade the 09Draskh1    54:17 | the people of the Lord, I mourned greatly, and tears coursed 09Draskh1    54:17 | greatly, and tears coursed down my eyes in the likeness of 09Draskh1    54:18 | For I saw beauty departed from the 09Draskh1    54:18 | sanctuary seduced by the heathens. I also was a witness to 09Draskh1    54:18 | priests. Remembering the days of my misery, which were spread over 09Draskh1    54:18 | misery, which were spread over my heart like a net, and 09Draskh1    54:18 | having recovered by some degree my withered energy, I went to 09Draskh1    54:18 | some degree my withered energy, I went to the land of 09Draskh1    54:18 | return for the agonies that I suffered I received consolation from 09Draskh1    54:18 | the agonies that I suffered I received consolation from my kinsmen 09Draskh1    54:18 | suffered I received consolation from my kinsmen, as well as from 09Draskh1    54:18 | so that the soul within my body was stimulated 09Draskh1    54:24 | evil to him. But while I was still in the district 09Draskh1    54:24 | in the district of Taron, I saw the tempestuous and ceaseless 09Draskh1    54:28 | Greetings also from me, Yovhannes, the humble katholikos of 09Draskh1    54:33 | the Romans, at this point I am forced to speak in 09Draskh1    54:33 | who are in despair, that I am speaking 09Draskh1    54:35 | And now I am grateful to Him, Who 09Draskh1    54:36 | of your pious majesties let me make you aware of the 09Draskh1    54:47 | At this time, what could I say concerning Smbat Bagratuni, the 09Draskh1    54:47 | became worthy of being called “ my son” by you? For the 09Draskh1    54:55 | What account should I, Yovhannes, a most humble man 09Draskh1    54:55 | most humble man, give of my sufferings, especially since I do 09Draskh1    54:55 | of my sufferings, especially since I do not consider myself worthy 09Draskh1    54:55 | righteous. Yet, the fact that I was banished, and subjected to 09Draskh1    54:55 | to severe torments because of my sins, and that I was 09Draskh1    54:55 | of my sins, and that I was saved from the tribulations 09Draskh1    54:55 | saved from the tribulations which I willingly confronted, make it necessary 09Draskh1    54:55 | confronted, make it necessary for me to boast like Paul of 09Draskh1    54:55 | to boast like Paul of my weakness, for some accepted the 09Draskh1    54:56 | I suffered greatly at the hands 09Draskh1    54:56 | of the children of Hagar. I was confined in dark dungeons 09Draskh1    54:56 | with iron fetters. They tormented me with racks, clubs and various 09Draskh1    54:56 | to extinguish the breath in my body 09Draskh1    54:57 | Although I am a tormented man, our 09Draskh1    54:57 | cannot be described visually, preserved me physically and saved me from 09Draskh1    54:57 | preserved me physically and saved me from death. He returned me 09Draskh1    54:57 | me from death. He returned me and those with me from 09Draskh1    54:57 | returned me and those with me from captivity, like torrents coming 09Draskh1    54:57 | from the south, and snatched me away from the claws of 09Draskh1    54:58 | Like Elija I fled to Sarephtha of Sidon 09Draskh1    54:58 | the prophet killer. Like Paul I was suspended from the walls 09Draskh1    54:59 | I suffered all these things, as 09Draskh1    54:59 | suffered all these things, as I deserved. In accordance with the 09Draskh1    54:59 | the order of the Lord, I was pursued from one city 09Draskh1    54:59 | city to the other, until I reached the threshold of your 09Draskh1    54:60 | From this far off land I seek from your pious and 09Draskh1    54:61 | I beg you to raise your 09Draskh1    54:66 | I have made these requests on 09Draskh1    54:66 | and faithful flock entrusted to me by the Lord 09Draskh1    54:67 | But as for my own self, I have the 09Draskh1    54:67 | as for my own self, I have the following request to 09Draskh1    54:67 | the southern tyranny have agonized my old age 09Draskh1    54:68 | banks of the Babylonian rivers, I am scorched by many tears 09Draskh1    54:68 | the captivity of Sion. But I have found asylum under the 09Draskh1    54:69 | I am not asking for a 09Draskh1    54:69 | a domicile and quarters that my predecessors the blessed vicars (of 09Draskh1    54:70 | This is something that I also wish to possess through 09Draskh1    54:71 | Do not deprive me and those with me from 09Draskh1    54:71 | deprive me and those with me from prostrating ourselves before the 09Draskh1    54:72 | For many years I have wished very much to 09Draskh1    54:72 | to you. Yet, until now I was hampered in carrying out 09Draskh1    54:72 | was hampered in carrying out my wishes 09Draskh1    54:73 | I have also wished to provide 09Draskh1    54:73 | have also wished to provide my own people with a restful 09Draskh1    54:75 | to your glorious majesties; should I, who am a humble pastor 09Draskh1    54:75 | am a humble pastor of my flock, live under the auspices 09Draskh1    54:75 | the inheritance of Christ follow my footsteps 09Draskh1    54:77 | judgement, whosoever they be, and I shall remain irreproachable and free 09Draskh1    55:1 | After they had read my letter to the Emperor, he 09Draskh1    55:2 | T’eodoros Vaslikos in search of me and Ashot, son of Smbat 09Draskh1    55:3 | fastnesses of his realm, whereas I myself was staying in the 09Draskh1    55:3 | Vaslikos first came to see me 09Draskh1    55:4 | the invitation of the Emperor, I sent him to Ashot, the 09Draskh1    55:6 | son of a martyr”, and “ my beloved son”, dressed him in 09Draskh1    55:9 | But I went to the district of 09Draskh1    55:9 | the district of Derjan, where I remained for a period of 09Draskh1    55:9 | month. Although during that time I received frequent and courteous invitations 09Draskh1    55:9 | to the imperial court, yet, I decided not to go, thinking 09Draskh1    55:9 | who might look askance at my going there, and assume that 09Draskh1    55:9 | going there, and assume that I sought communion with the Chalcedonians 09Draskh1    55:10 | was for this reason that I did not wish to go 09Draskh1    55:10 | not wish to go, lest I might scandalize the minds of 09Draskh1    55:10 | weak. Subsequently, in accordance with my own wishes, I went to 09Draskh1    55:10 | accordance with my own wishes, I went to the sacred cave 09Draskh1    55:12 | Also I saw there a small cavity 09Draskh1    55:13 | I approached the cave with reverence 09Draskh1    55:13 | before the omnipotence of Christ, I went down to the spring 09Draskh1    55:14 | drink. At this very place, I also, who am a wretch 09Draskh1    55:14 | help of the palms of my hands became worthy of tasting 09Draskh1    55:14 | renovated us, and whose seat I possess; were that, I could 09Draskh1    55:14 | seat I possess; were that, I could also follow his example 09Draskh1    55:15 | I took with me some of 09Draskh1    55:15 | I took with me some of the blessed dirt 09Draskh1    55:15 | had been built earlier at my orders with monumental stones cemented 09Draskh1    55:16 | and fastnesses of the caves, I saw people living, celibates as 09Draskh1    55:18 | Receiving their blessings, I went to the village of 09Draskh1    55:19 | God. Spending the night there, I prostrated myself before the Lord 09Draskh1    55:20 | Then I returned to the hermitages on 09Draskh1    55:20 | joined the monks in prayer. I remained here for approximately nine 09Draskh1    55:20 | for approximately nine months, until I was lured by the flattering 09Draskh1    55:20 | in the name of God, I returned to Armenia 09Draskh1    55:21 | Nevertheless, I did not behold the results 09Draskh1    55:22 | Once again I wished to move away from 09Draskh1    55:22 | Were that death would allow me to carry out my wishes 09Draskh1    55:22 | allow me to carry out my wishes! But let this be 09Draskh1    56:12 | But by chance I returned from the distant land 09Draskh1    56:12 | from the distant land of my expatriation at the right time 09Draskh1    56:12 | Accordingly, both of them heeded me, and having received their willing 09Draskh1    56:12 | having received their willing consent, I set down among them the 09Draskh1    58:4 | Thereupon, I arrived (in order to intervene 09Draskh1    58:4 | many scolding words and expressed my utter disgust at the son 09Draskh1    58:5 | Although by means of my protest I tried to uproot 09Draskh1    58:5 | by means of my protest I tried to uproot from their 09Draskh1    58:5 | though they yielded temporarily to my pleas and consented to come 09Draskh1    58:7 | As for myself, I cried ’woe unto me’, for 09Draskh1    58:7 | myself, I cried ’woe unto me’, for I often was forced 09Draskh1    58:7 | cried ’woe unto me’, for I often was forced to live 09Draskh1    58:7 | live with those who hated my greetings, because I was a 09Draskh1    58:7 | who hated my greetings, because I was a peace-maker, and 09Draskh1    58:7 | a peace-maker, and whenever I opened my mouth, they contradicted 09Draskh1    58:7 | maker, and whenever I opened my mouth, they contradicted me 09Draskh1    58:7 | opened my mouth, they contradicted me 09Draskh1    58:10 | On my part, I always pleaded in 09Draskh1    58:10 | On my part, I always pleaded in favor of 09Draskh1    58:13 | Vagharshapat, but on this occasion I did not allow them to 09Draskh1    58:13 | use their brains. They heeded ( my) sound advice, and wisely accepted 09Draskh1    59:18 | I myself received the letter of 09Draskh1    59:20 | Although I admonished the king in very 09Draskh1    59:21 | However, I also did not pursue this 09Draskh1    59:21 | being (for the following reason: I was afraid) that due to 09Draskh1    59:21 | unbecoming (of him). Thus, laying my trust in the succor of 09Draskh1    59:21 | in the succor of heaven, I postponed the care of the 09Draskh1    60:21 | damage did you suffer at my hands, in return for which 09Draskh1    60:21 | return for which you deemed me worthy of such severe disaster 09Draskh1    60:21 | such severe disaster, such as I have witnessed? Didn’t the solemn 09Draskh1    60:21 | so vainly anxious to shed my blood for no reason at 09Draskh1    60:22 | to good use. Return to me only the two fortresses that 09Draskh1    60:23 | bishop, “You remain here in my tent, while I go to 09Draskh1    60:23 | here in my tent, while I go to meet him with 09Draskh1    60:23 | go to meet him with my sword and give an immediate 09Draskh1    60:28 | king said to himself: “If I have been in any kind 09Draskh1    60:28 | kind of error, or if I have broken this oath, make 09Draskh1    60:28 | this oath, make amends to me, O Lord, for my wickedness 09Draskh1    60:28 | to me, O Lord, for my wickedness and deception. On the 09Draskh1    60:28 | for his wickedness, and save me from the iniquitous death which 09Draskh1    60:32 | king reasoned as follows: “Should I let go of the prince 09Draskh1    60:32 | his son, this would foreshadow my own death. On the other 09Draskh1    60:32 | On the other hand, should I keep such renowned men confined 09Draskh1    60:32 | be sure death would await me on my own threshold 09Draskh1    60:32 | death would await me on my own threshold 09Draskh1    62:13 | If you are struggling on my behalf, why don’t you open 09Draskh1    62:13 | you open the gates before me, so that I may enter 09Draskh1    62:13 | gates before me, so that I may enter and easily putting 09Draskh1    63:3 | made a solemn oath before me, so that I would not 09Draskh1    63:3 | oath before me, so that I would not hesitate in promoting 09Draskh1    63:3 | conditions for peace, and that I might not allow clandestine snares 09Draskh1    63:5 | Then, on my suggestion and advice, whereby I 09Draskh1    63:5 | my suggestion and advice, whereby I appealed to them, they cleansed 09Draskh1    63:21 | It seems to me that he turned his mind 09Draskh1    65:10 | the wicked Hagarite’s stormy tempests, I wept with bitter distress, as 09Draskh1    65:11 | Subsequently, certain faithful people warned me to make haste and escape 09Draskh1    65:11 | The clergy who were with me, struck with fear, waited at 09Draskh1    65:11 | waited at the threshold of my house, and begged me to 09Draskh1    65:11 | of my house, and begged me to take leave and avoid 09Draskh1    65:11 | avoid the scourge. They reminded me of the command of the 09Draskh1    65:12 | So I took flight not as much 09Draskh1    65:12 | flight not as much from my fear of temporary death, but 09Draskh1    65:12 | of temporary death, but because I considered the furious rage of 09Draskh1    65:15 | I was not at all idle 09Draskh1    65:15 | all idle in dismissing (from my mind) such doubts and did 09Draskh1    65:15 | the advent of the danger. I took as my first examples 09Draskh1    65:15 | the danger. I took as my first examples the prophet Elijah 09Draskh1    65:20 | the small fortress of Biwrakan, my own dzerakert which I had 09Draskh1    65:20 | Biwrakan, my own dzerakert which I had acquired through ganjagin. Here 09Draskh1    65:20 | had acquired through ganjagin. Here I had built a church constructed 09Draskh1    65:20 | ornamented and adorned with paintings. I had founded this place as 09Draskh1    65:21 | as we had reached Biwrakan, I immediately sent a letter to 09Draskh1    65:22 | I stated that I had fled 09Draskh1    65:22 | I stated that I had fled fearing such agonies 09Draskh1    65:22 | and that should he assure me with a solemn oath (of 09Draskh1    65:22 | with a solemn oath (of my safety), with my mind at 09Draskh1    65:22 | oath (of my safety), with my mind at ease I would 09Draskh1    65:22 | with my mind at ease I would remain at the threshold 09Draskh1    65:22 | threshold of the church of my house, where I would bless 09Draskh1    65:22 | church of my house, where I would bless God in His 09Draskh1    65:22 | His sanctuary, and according to my means I would continue sending 09Draskh1    65:22 | and according to my means I would continue sending him gifts 09Draskh1    65:22 | gifts as a tribute for my well-being 09Draskh1    65:23 | Upon reading my letter, Nasr immediately sent a 09Draskh1    65:23 | be trusted. Thus, he freed my mind from all fears, whether 09Draskh1    65:24 | Thereupon, I was assured by that oath 09Draskh1    65:24 | assured by that oath that I could turn myself to useful 09Draskh1    66:3 | tenfold, unless you listen to me 09Draskh1    66:8 | of Biwrakan by stealth, take me and the other clerics with 09Draskh1    66:8 | and the other clerics with me captive, put to the sword 09Draskh1    66:9 | However, as I had learned of their shadowy 09Draskh1    66:9 | as on the previous occasion, I fled the evil in order 09Draskh1    66:11 | and the crown of martyrdom. I am of the latter opinion 09Draskh1    66:11 | of the latter opinion, which I shall clarify somewhat later 09Draskh1    66:12 | had not remained unknown to me, and their clandestine snares had 09Draskh1    66:12 | when they found out that I had escaped, they stopped to 09Draskh1    66:61 | enemy. A short time later I ransomed them at the price 09Draskh1    67:16 | with numerous threats. At first I had gone to Ashot, the 09Draskh1    67:17 | He bestowed frequent favors on me indicative of his good intentions 09Draskh1    67:17 | generous bounties for all of my needs. Subsequently, I took leave 09Draskh1    67:17 | all of my needs. Subsequently, I took leave of him and 09Draskh1    67:19 | Upon my arrival, king Gagik received me 09Draskh1    67:19 | my arrival, king Gagik received me, and looked after my welfare 09Draskh1    67:19 | received me, and looked after my welfare with a genuine feeling 09Draskh1    67:19 | his brother Gurgen he protected me with undeniable love, and tended 09Draskh1    67:19 | undeniable love, and tended to my physical needs 09Draskh1    67:29 | The Lord says, “If my people had listened to me 09Draskh1    67:29 | my people had listened to me, or if Israel had walked 09Draskh1    67:29 | if Israel had walked in my ways, I would have put 09Draskh1    67:29 | had walked in my ways, I would have put down their 09Draskh1    67:29 | quickly, and would have laid my hand upon those that afflicted 09Draskh1    68:1 | church, the glory of Christ, I offer you as a gift 09Draskh1    68:1 | is like a reflecting mirror, I have invited you (to come 09Draskh1    68:1 | and disorderly boasting so that I may be exempt from this 09Draskh1    68:2 | My heart shivered with terror, shuddered 09Draskh1    68:3 | and did not calm down, I was forced to come here 09Draskh1    68:4 | I was at first pressed on 09Draskh1    68:4 | of the kings that influenced my mind, convincing me not to 09Draskh1    68:4 | that influenced my mind, convincing me not to waver at all 09Draskh1    68:5 | Nevertheless, I did not at all consider 09Draskh1    68:5 | a goal that was beyond my ability only by writing mute 09Draskh1    68:5 | reverberating from century to century I bequeath this to you with 09Draskh1    68:6 | every account as he reads my presentation; and thus far he 09Draskh1    68:7 | But henceforth I shall offer prayers for you 09Draskh1    68:8 | But ( I pray that you) listen willingly 09Draskh1    68:8 | that you) listen willingly to my supplications and advice for unanimity 09Draskh1    68:10 | I beg you not to climb 09Draskh1    68:14 | a shipwreck? For this reason I do not think that the 09Draskh1    68:22 | this word of advice from me suffice you. But I, the 09Draskh1    68:22 | from me suffice you. But I, the unworthy and wretched Yovhannes 09Draskh1    68:22 | of this history to deem my name worthy of remembrance in 09Draskh1    68:22 | His visitation both you and I may perhaps receive our remuneration 10Tovma1    1:0 | eloquent words. Great labour have I expended in the search for 10Tovma1    1:0 | and many historical accounts; and I have written down whatever I 10Tovma1    1:0 | I have written down whatever I was able to discover, beginning 10Tovma1    1:1 | up of the world. So, I shall discuss, according to the 10Tovma1    1:2 | Africanus and Moses K’ert’oł, first I shall expound how the divisions 10Tovma1    1:3 | Then I shall set down the more 10Tovma1    1:7 | It seems to me that it is not appropriate 10Tovma1    1:12 | As a better-known example I can quote you our Saviour 10Tovma1    1:13 | of his wife Mary, as I mentioned above. For it was 10Tovma1    1:15 | running through the middle, as I shall describe in detail below 10Tovma1    1:18 | without removing those nations’ legitimacy. I have set down this brief 10Tovma1    1:19 | Now since the order of my narrative has brought us to 10Tovma1    1:28 | you gave (to be) with me, she gave me from the 10Tovma1    1:28 | be) with me, she gave me from the tree and I 10Tovma1    1:28 | me from the tree and I ate.” And if Adam (accused 10Tovma1    1:40 | is your brother Abel?” saying: “ I do not know; am I 10Tovma1    1:40 | I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper 10Tovma1    1:40 | do not know; am I my brother’s keeper 10Tovma1    1:42 | again: “God raised up for me another son in place of 10Tovma1    1:45 | And that I might repeat the words of 10Tovma1    1:48 | eight by addition, seems to me ( to be) because he reckoned 10Tovma1    1:58 | evil. As (Scripture) says elsewhere: “ I am the Living Lord; I 10Tovma1    1:58 | I am the Living Lord; I do not wish the death 10Tovma1    1:61 | heard from the Lord: “Let my spirit not remain on these 10Tovma1    1:62 | behold in seven more days I shall bring a flood of 10Tovma1    1:65 | the ark). This seems to me plausible. For after the flood 10Tovma1    1:68 | them in the ark—which I shall repeat a little later 10Tovma1    1:71 | and established an eternal covenant: “ I shall place my arc in 10Tovma1    1:71 | eternal covenant: “I shall place my arc in the clouds,” which 10Tovma1    1:74 | Jerusalem—which being translated means “ my stable was completed 10Tovma1    1:76 | A little later he says: “ I shall give you the land 10Tovma1    2:1 | serve our present enquiry, yet I shall pass over their ravings 10Tovma1    2:9 | through Jeremiah: “On that day I shall seek vengeance from Bel 10Tovma1    2:9 | from Bel in Babylon, and I shall take from his mouth 10Tovma1    3:5 | over Govmayid and Guzban, Sher- i- bamamakan and Khochihrastan, and altogether 10Tovma1    3:11 | of Ormizd and note: “May I have a son Ormizd by 10Tovma1    3:11 | are you?” And he replied: “ I am your son Ormizd.” He 10Tovma1    3:11 | your son Ormizd.” He note: “ My son Ormizd is luminous and 10Tovma1    3:11 | brother: “For a thousand years I have been obedient to you 10Tovma1    3:11 | you; now do you obey me 10Tovma1    3:18 | Of this I have also been informed by 10Tovma1    3:18 | those who are called Shakhrik’. I had occasion to meet some 10Tovma1    3:20 | Following up his sayings I enquired: “Where do you say 10Tovma1    3:20 | beyond which no humans dwell.” I know from the geographies of 10Tovma1    3:21 | The people under discussion told me: “ Many of us reached a 10Tovma1    3:22 | comparing (this) with other accounts I rejected (them) and was strongly 10Tovma1    3:22 | Today you will be with me in paradise 10Tovma1    3:24 | approach with invisible power—which I do not believe is (even 10Tovma1    3:26 | a little he says: “Frequently my friends begged me to return 10Tovma1    3:26 | says: “Frequently my friends begged me to return, but I did 10Tovma1    3:26 | begged me to return, but I did not wish to do 10Tovma1    3:26 | wish to do so because I wanted to see the end 10Tovma1    3:28 | sun does not rise. As I wished to instruct servants to 10Tovma1    3:28 | of the blessed was, Callisthenes my friend advised me to penetrate 10Tovma1    3:28 | was, Callisthenes my friend advised me to penetrate (there) with forty 10Tovma1    3:30 | you invade heaven?’ “When I heard this, trembling and terror 10Tovma1    3:30 | this, trembling and terror gripped me from fear and dread. I 10Tovma1    3:30 | me from fear and dread. I was forced to obey the 10Tovma1    3:31 | royal garden. Such seemed to me these places—to others as 10Tovma1    4:3 | in succession are the following. I shall indicate in resume their 10Tovma1    5:14 | war and to wrest from me the Jewish captives.” In order 10Tovma1    6:2 | the other earlier historians. So I set out in order their 10Tovma1    6:32 | possessing an aquiline nose. But I do not know whether he 10Tovma1    6:35 | the philosophically minded, nonetheless, for me it is more pleasing to 10Tovma1    6:40 | stories of the past. So I shall press forward my narrative 10Tovma1    6:40 | So I shall press forward my narrative; in my rapid course 10Tovma1    6:40 | press forward my narrative; in my rapid course I shall traverse 10Tovma1    6:40 | narrative; in my rapid course I shall traverse the works of 10Tovma1    6:40 | the works of past historians; I shall note in order but 10Tovma1    6:40 | genealogy (of the Artsrunik’) until I reach the wide-spreading and 10Tovma1    6:40 | written histories. One by one I shall expound (these matters) systematically 10Tovma1    6:41 | of Saint Vardan—concerning which I shall write in its own 10Tovma1    6:46 | is a great pleasure for me, and especially for everyone—or 10Tovma1    6:46 | you to hear and for me to write 10Tovma1    9:4 | made peace with Artashir. Here I have no indication as to 10Tovma1    10:13 | said this, supposing that: “If I am able to carry out 10Tovma1    10:13 | out this perverse plan perhaps I shall also be able to 10Tovma1    10:20 | and enjoyable entertainment. So, may my suggestion please you. The saints 10Tovma1    10:20 | lives equivalent to death.” But I do not know whether the 10Tovma1    10:20 | his enticement or not. And I did not consider it important 10Tovma1    10:28 | battled against each other. But I consider it superfluous to repeat 10Tovma1    10:30 | God Saint Nersēs. But here I shall expound in order the 10Tovma1    10:41 | and cruel tortures at which I shudder 10Tovma1    10:42 | My mind is greatly amazed and 10Tovma1    10:48 | of Armenia. Come here that I the sparapet may crown you 10Tovma1    10:49 | poetic fable seems opportune to me, which runs: “Often the foxes 10Tovma1    11:13 | their emigration. For (he said): “ I have appointed a king for 10Tovma1    11:23 | At another time I shall take care of what 10Tovma1    11:42 | vacillated, wondering “lest perchance if I do not do what they 10Tovma1    11:42 | ask, the nobles may abandon ( me) and go over to the 10Tovma1    11:57 | So, I Thomas, who did not shamefully 10Tovma1    11:57 | command of your eminence forced me to this great undertaking, in 10Tovma1    11:57 | this great undertaking, in which I shall outdistance the charlatan tongues 10Tovma2    1:12 | Apar, and all the rest. I consider it superfluous to repeat 10Tovma2    1:17 | the book of the historian I shall indicate to your erudite 10Tovma2    2:8 | it in that fashion. Elsewhere I shall indicate what action the 10Tovma2    2:17 | time of the emperor Leo I, Vasak and Tachat died there 10Tovma2    2:23 | the Amatuni of whose names I am ignorant. Banding together, these 10Tovma2    2:24 | one mouth: “All nations surrounded me, but through the name of 10Tovma2    2:24 | the name of the Lord I defeated them,” in unison they 10Tovma2    3:4 | of sea and land, give me an army in support and 10Tovma2    3:4 | army in support and establish me on the throne of my 10Tovma2    3:4 | me on the throne of my fathers. For if I am 10Tovma2    3:4 | of my fathers. For if I am able to defeat my 10Tovma2    3:4 | I am able to defeat my enemy and reinstate my kingdom 10Tovma2    3:4 | defeat my enemy and reinstate my kingdom, I shall be a 10Tovma2    3:4 | enemy and reinstate my kingdom, I shall be a subject son 10Tovma2    3:6 | other generals in this fashion: “ I was of the opinion that 10Tovma2    3:6 | of the opinion that when I fought against your enemies you 10Tovma2    3:6 | your enemies you would help me from your side, and acting 10Tovma2    3:6 | coming to wage war against me! However, I shall not fear 10Tovma2    3:6 | wage war against me!

Only with assistants would I perhaps dare to engage in 10Tovma3    20:59 | kissing the Lord, saying: “When I give the sign by approaching 10Tovma3    20:65 | As David says: “ I was prepared and I did 10Tovma3    20:65 | says: “I was prepared and I did not tremble.” And another 10Tovma3    22:20 | made excuses to Ashot, saying: “ I have come to this land 10Tovma3    22:20 | coercion. So talk peace with me, and remove the veil of 10Tovma3    26:13 | you will not mock at my words, it seems not inappropriate 10Tovma3    27:1 | I have undertaken to give a 10Tovma3    27:1 | few regrets have fallen on me, which I shall now briefly 10Tovma3    27:1 | have fallen on me, which I shall now briefly expound, dutifully 10Tovma3    27:1 | now briefly expound, dutifully continuing my narrative 10Tovma3    27:9 | But do not blame me for comparing the things of 10Tovma3    27:9 | to those of the gospel; I am not ignorant of the 10Tovma3    29:1 | not with ready willingness do I continue my narrative, for grief 10Tovma3    29:1 | ready willingness do I continue my narrative, for grief rather than 10Tovma3    29:1 | grief rather than joy overtakes me 10Tovma3    29:2 | tears pour in streams from my eyes in the place of 10Tovma3    29:2 | place of peals of laughter; I sink down rather than stand 10Tovma3    29:2 | than stand up straight; within me reigns broken heart rather than 10Tovma3    29:2 | heart rather than firm valour; my being is full of pain 10Tovma3    29:3 | what reason or cause?

Who could seize my golden-feathered champion and noble 10Tovma4    1:45 | its rays down below, illuminate my darkness.

But I do not know if this 10Tovma4    1:53 | Here it would please me to describe in majestic style 10Tovma4    1:53 | listeners’ minds from being distressed, I shall refrain from saying anything 10Tovma4    2:7 | country by the following argument: “ I shall rule the country as 10Tovma4    2:12 | type of fraud by saying: “ I am a man without heirs 10Tovma4    2:12 | without heirs, save only for my daughter whom Ashot has married 10Tovma4    2:12 | daughter whom Ashot has married. I am afraid that perchance Ashot 10Tovma4    2:12 | may become puffed up against me 10Tovma4    3:4 | great source of amazement to me: although he had neither gifts 10Tovma4    3:8 | It was God, as I suppose, who permitted him to 10Tovma4    3:8 | as we mentioned above. So I do not hesitate to extol 10Tovma4    3:9 | Truly I am very eager to compose 10Tovma4    4:18 | Here amazement grips me at the valour of the 10Tovma4    4:26 | amazing castle of Amiuk, which I might describe as looking to 10Tovma4    4:58 | and valuable precious stones, which I am unable to describe 10Tovma4    4:61 | cities and all its embellishments. I do not hesitate to say 10Tovma4    4:64 | For me this is prodigious to relate 10Tovma4    4:64 | prodigious to relate, this for me is amazing to hear; it 10Tovma4    4:64 | to hear; it far surpasses my own history and those of 10Tovma4    4:64 | and legitimate ruler of Armenia. I do not reckon it too 10Tovma4    4:72 | prayers and entreaties, according to my knowledge, and especially in accordance 10Tovma4    4:72 | it would be better for me to say, the word of 10Tovma4    4:74 | him say: “Greetings to you, my brother, who saved my soul 10Tovma4    4:74 | you, my brother, who saved my soul from the gates of 10Tovma4    4:74 | By your good services to me while you remained behind, you 10Tovma4    4:74 | your soul to life with mine 10Tovma4    5:4 | later he was killed, but I do not know what sort 10Tovma4    7:1 | it is very pleasant for me here to undertake a most 10Tovma4    7:1 | house of the Artsrunik’, as I record the wise and intelligent 10Tovma4    7:2 | And these matters, my dear friend and foremost of 10Tovma4    7:2 | brave men, who requested from me this History, I offer and 10Tovma4    7:2 | requested from me this History, I offer and present to you 10Tovma4    7:2 | accounts; but having seen with my eyes, heard with my ears 10Tovma4    7:2 | with my eyes, heard with my ears, and touched with my 10Tovma4    7:2 | my ears, and touched with my hands, I recount for you 10Tovma4    7:2 | and touched with my hands, I recount for you faithfully the 10Tovma4    7:3 | you not shower gold on me?” And if he sees a 10Tovma4    7:3 | crystal-pure water, he says: “ I am not thirsty, and I 10Tovma4    7:3 | I am not thirsty, and I shall never drink water from 10Tovma4    7:3 | drink water from you.

So I beg you that according to 10Tovma4    13:88 | pleasure, you should merely grant me and my parents a “Lord 10Tovma4    13:88 | should merely grant me and my parents a “Lord have mercy 10Tovma4    13:89 | always, forever and ever.
