Through these, I say 06Khor1    3:3 | clear to us all that our kings and other forefathers were 06Khor1    3:4 | deeds have been performed in our land worthy of being recorded 06Khor1    3:5 | the world, how appropriate is our reproach of such men in 06Khor1    3:10 | that from the beginnings of our nation up to the present 06Khor1    3:10 | to write the history of our nation in a long and 06Khor1    3:12 | effort, provided that one of our countrymen be found who will 06Khor1    4:6 | And not only according to our cycle of the four seasons 06Khor1    4:7 | indicate their opinions according to our ability and write down accurately 06Khor1    4:15 | Now the rest of our speculations about him we shall 06Khor1    4:15 | defer to the place of our choosing.

For Ara is the 06Khor1    5:45 | Likewise he counts our genealogy from Hayk to Ara 06Khor1    5:47 | follows: “At the beginning of our work we began to write 06Khor1    5:47 | ancestors and not to spend our time uselessly,” and so on 06Khor1    5:48 | strangers to the truth in our opinion are those who say 06Khor1    6:2 | Choosing to the best of our ability what is reliable from 06Khor1    6:4 | if you are grateful for our vigils and efforts, O friend 06Khor1    6:4 | of learning and patron of our labors, I shall briefly recapitulate 06Khor1    7:2 | in whose times lived Hayk our ancestor, many different writers tell 06Khor1    7:4 | allegory, which the course of our narrative does not allow use 06Khor1    7:7 | to try to introduce into our history all events from the 06Khor1    7:7 | of the tower up to our own time for your edification 06Khor1    7:8 | shall begin to show you our own history-whence and how 06Khor1    9:2 | image are as those of our gods, whose fortune and destiny 06Khor1    9:6 | derive from the fulfillment of our wishes I well know will 06Khor1    9:12 | only the reliable history of our own race and brought it 06Khor1    9:14 | assured of the order of our tales and repeat them now 06Khor1    9:14 | now for your curiosity, extending our ancestral principalities as far back 06Khor1    9:19 | stop here, for it is our proposal not to write a 06Khor1    9:19 | but to attempt to indicate our first and original ancestors 06Khor1    11:13 | either we may die and our possessions will fall in servitude 06Khor1    11:13 | showing him the success of our arms, we may scatter his 06Khor1    11:28 | Now our country is called Hayk’ after 06Khor1    11:28 | Hayk’ after the name of our ancestor Hayk 06Khor1    12:2 | only what is necessary to our collection 06Khor1    12:9 | renowned, just as those of our own time are now famous 06Khor1    12:12 | day journey, as one of our countrymen said, for a well 06Khor1    12:14 | that in many places in our land there were dwelling a 06Khor1    12:14 | men before the arrival of our original ancestor Hayk 06Khor1    12:38 | his name all races call our land: like the Greeks, Armenia 06Khor1    13:10 | linger at the threshold of our history 06Khor1    14:16 | calling the western part of our country First and Second, and 06Khor1    14:18 | nations living around us call our country 06Khor1    15:14 | him back to life, fulfilling our wish and pleasure. Therefore, from 06Khor1    15:14 | by us, as they fulfill our pleasures and accomplish our desires 06Khor1    15:14 | fulfill our pleasures and accomplish our desires 06Khor1    16:20 | unwilling to include it in our history. But we merely say 06Khor1    18:4 | Furthermore the fables of our own land confirm the learned 06Khor1    19:2 | greatest men and ancestors of our nation, whatever stories concern them 06Khor1    19:3 | truthful in this history through our diligence and faithfulness.

According to these principles our collection has been made, as 06Khor1    19:4 | descendants indicate the truth of our labor 06Khor1    20:1 | AGREEMENT OF THE GENEALOGY OF OUR NATION WITH THOSE OF THE 06Khor1    20:10 | in Africa that survive to our own time. It truly reads 06Khor1    20:11 | One of these was our most honorable K’ananidas in Armenia 06Khor1    20:63 | He is the son of our Ara, called Ara by Semiramis 06Khor1    20:63 | entrusted the task of governing our country to him 06Khor1    22:2 | what is least important from our account, we shall speak of 06Khor1    22:3 | or Ninos I say was our Paroyr in the time of 06Khor1    22:4 | period when the descendants of our original ancestor acquired the status 06Khor1    22:7 | He attracted to himself our valiant Prince Paroyr, promising him 06Khor1    22:11 | unscholarly habits and inclinations of our first ancestors, the same is 06Khor1    22:12 | of their annals, whereas since our own people did not think 06Khor1    22:13 | thus learn the names of our ancestors and the deeds of 06Khor1    22:13 | as prefects and governors of our land appointed by them and 06Khor1    23:1 | The order of our kings and their number from 06Khor1    23:2 | pass to the number of our great men, especially the kings 06Khor1    23:3 | For these men descended from our kings are dear to me 06Khor1    23:6 | order of the kings of our nation alongside theirs. The national 06Khor1    23:6 | theirs. The national monarchs of our land were those men whose 06Khor1    23:7 | And that the kingdom of our nation truly existed at that 06Khor1    23:8 | this verifies the existence of our kingdom at that time 06Khor1    23:18 | Our first king crowned by the 06Khor1    23:22 | brought and settled him in our country with great honor. From 06Khor1    23:23 | But what efforts our kings made to constrain them 06Khor1    24:2 | who was the ninth of our native crowned kings, strong and 06Khor1    24:2 | important for the coherence of our work 06Khor1    24:5 | of these, that is, Sanasar, our valiant ancestor Skayordi settled in 06Khor1    24:5 | settled in the southwest of our land, near the borders of 06Khor1    24:6 | showing thereafter friendly services to our kings, were honored with the 06Khor1    24:8 | This is the reason for our remembering Senek’erim 06Khor1    25:3 | for he, of all our kings, was the most powerful 06Khor1    25:5 | He extended the borders of our territory and established them at 06Khor1    25:7 | showing his valor he glorified our nation. Those who had been 06Khor1    25:11 | were the benefits brought to our country by Tigran, son of 06Khor1    25:11 | feasts, and - as those among our ancients who sang to the 06Khor1    27:9 | and launched an attack on our empire 06Khor1    27:17 | will not hope to become our fellow sovereign?’’ 06Khor1    29:3 | every side and also keep our empires secure and stable 06Khor1    29:5 | Be well our fellow sovereign and beloved brother 06Khor1    31:8 | the dragon because Azhdahak in our tongue is dragon 06Khor1    31:12 | amazed at the truth of our history, how we have revealed 06Khor1    32:7 | of whom the fables of our land say: Heaven was in 06Khor1    32:8 | With our own ears we have heard 06Khor1    32:15 | other for the control of our country. Therefore, Arshak the Great 06Khor1    33:1 | of Tewtamus; the participation of our Zarmayr with a small Ethiopian 06Khor1    33:2 | us: brevity and rapidity; that our account should be elegant and 06Khor1    33:9 | are important and worthy of our history 06Khor1    33:11 | and that our Zarmayr under the rule of 06Khor1    34:8 | an undesirable matter and increasing our labor 06Khor1    34:13 | especially those whose recital offends our ears, today I shall set 06Khor1    34:14 | not speak of them in our first book, nor did we 06Khor2    1:1 | Period in the History of Our Ancestors 06Khor2    1:2 | book the various events of our own country, beginning with the 06Khor2    1:2 | whom he made king of our nation. The kings of our 06Khor2    1:2 | our nation. The kings of our country who came after him 06Khor2    3:3 | latter, as we wrote in our first book, was a valiant 06Khor2    3:3 | from among the descendants of our ancestor Hayk and others 06Khor2    3:4 | now a great principality in our land 06Khor2    4:2 | their relations - about half of our country 06Khor2    4:4 | forces of all regions of our country, he reached the borders 06Khor2    5:2 | battle with an attack from our side. Therefore, willingly or unwillingly 06Khor2    6:1 | the west and north of our country 06Khor2    6:9 | he organized the army of our country, and leaving overseers he 06Khor2    7:18 | race of kings descended from our ancestor Hayk, who were called 06Khor2    9:1 | Concerning our Arshak the First and his 06Khor2    9:5 | split off and came to our land and settled for a 06Khor2    10:2 | We shall begin our narrative for you from the 06Khor2    10:3 | which concerned the history of our kings. These books had been 06Khor2    10:4 | have seen that archive with our own eyes 06Khor2    10:5 | Caesarea is a guarantee, which our blessed teacher Mashtots’ had had 06Khor2    10:6 | found all the acts of our first kings down to Abgar 06Khor2    11:1 | Concerning our Artashēs the First and his 06Khor2    12:4 | he had them brought to our country to be set up 06Khor2    12:9 | before they had arrived in our land the sad news of 06Khor2    13:6 | are many who say that our Artashēs took Chroesus prisoner and 06Khor2    14:3 | troops had attacked and invaded our country 06Khor2    14:5 | with him, he returned to our country 06Khor2    24:12 | give us hereditary lands in our own native land because we 06Khor2    25:2 | Herod, king of Judaea, and our King Arsham 06Khor2    26:6 | At that time was born our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son 06Khor2    27:1 | mention of the family of our Illuminator 06Khor2    27:6 | in the chronological order of our history or in the order 06Khor2    27:6 | that we have adopted for our account, yet because it was 06Khor2    27:6 | cause of the conversion of our Armenian nation, for the sake 06Khor2    27:7 | when in the course of our narrative we reach the period 06Khor2    28:1 | brothers, from whom are descended our Illuminator and his kin 06Khor2    30:1 | to Marinus, when they saw our Savior Christ, which proved the 06Khor2    30:5 | went to Jerusalem to see our Savior Christ on account of 06Khor2    31:9 | But our Savior himself did not accept 06Khor2    33:2 | After the ascension of our Savior, Thomas the apostle, one 06Khor2    33:13 | whom he had set over our land and army 06Khor2    34:1 | Concerning the martyrdom of our apostles 06Khor2    50:2 | of Georgia, spread out over our land in a great host 06Khor2    50:16 | For our kings had the custom of 06Khor2    53:2 | last Arshak, king of Persia, our Artashēs made his homonym, Arshak’s 06Khor2    53:3 | for that reason rebelled against our king 06Khor2    59:2 | them into many chapters lest our readers be wearied by the 06Khor2    59:4 | navigation on the lakes of our country, nor travel over the 06Khor2    60:5 | But our Artashēs was not disloyal to 06Khor2    60:9 | regions of Assyria and ordered our Artashēs to go to Persia 06Khor2    60:16 | This sovereign, so beloved to our country, reigned forty-one years 06Khor2    61:7 | Therefore, even in our own time many smiths, following 06Khor2    62:5 | they note: “Enlarge for us our inheritance, for it is cramped 06Khor2    64:4 | behalf and at his command our Tigran also invaded the Mediterranean 06Khor2    64:6 | from Korchēk’ and some from our region - I mean the ancient 06Khor2    64:9 | followed to the best of our ability only what was right 06Khor2    64:10 | from other sources or from our own knowledge.

With the joyful procession 09Draskh1    8:10 | a minister of holiness and our ( spiritual) parent in accordance with 09Draskh1    9:2 | who were summoned was also our own Aristakes 09Draskh1    9:4 | Then our Aristakes returned from there bringing 09Draskh1    9:6 | blessed Grigor, the author of our enlightenment and the precursor of 09Draskh1    10:6 | But our spiritual radiance Saint Grigor, having 09Draskh1    10:8 | becoming the second author of our enlightenment 09Draskh1    11:9 | Thereupon, having taken hostages from our own Tiran, he made him 09Draskh1    12:5 | dead. Thereafter the people of our land appeared (to the onlooker 09Draskh1    12:10 | Subsequently, in like manner our king Arshak, and the naxarars 09Draskh1    12:12 | Church was entirely completed in our country as well, since it 09Draskh1    14:0 | the Spread of Literacy among Our People; the Downfall of Our 09Draskh1    14:0 | Our People; the Downfall of Our Kingdom 09Draskh1    14:5 | the blessed Sahak instituted through our Vramshapuh the concessions made by 09Draskh1    14:6 | with him the characters of our language, which were presumably given 09Draskh1    15:1 | from the house of Grigor, our thrice-blessed Enlightener.

Thus our land was given a ruler 09Draskh1    19:30 | having burned the seedlings of our spiritual orchards, severely wounded us 09Draskh1    19:36 | Council of Chalcedon. The Emperor, our patriarch Nerses and the other 09Draskh1    21:14 | a great salvation came to our land 09Draskh1    21:17 | Armenia burned a fire in our midst, since the satan had 09Draskh1    21:21 | Thus, our land became a sea of 09Draskh1    22:4 | is a bishop here in our country, and also a princess 09Draskh1    22:4 | and proclaim your name in our prayers 09Draskh1    22:5 | and are contriving to return our land to him. Should you 09Draskh1    22:5 | hasten to remove them from our midst, they will very soon 09Draskh1    22:7 | Eghia removed this wickedness from ( our) midst by wisely routing their 09Draskh1    22:24 | Yovhannes answered: “Although Our God Christ’s divine glory was 09Draskh1    23:5 | his days the attacks of our wicked enemies from all quarters 09Draskh1    24:17 | result of this, accounts concerning our princes of this period are 09Draskh1    24:18 | find it adequately treated by our predecessor the historian Shapuh 09Draskh1    25:2 | dominated the greater part of our land through his wife’s prerogatives 09Draskh1    27:2 | Shapuh Bagratuni, a historian of our own times, who has given 09Draskh1    29:13 | trivial, harmony and friendship to our king Ashot, whom he addressed 09Draskh1    30:34 | should the particular characteristic of our angelic order, relieving us of 09Draskh1    30:34 | burden of responsibilities because of our incompetence, lead us into a 09Draskh1    30:50 | things belong unto the Lord our God.

I was also 09Draskh1    32:15 | He admonishes by the sword our wickedness and folly 09Draskh1    33:21 | had he arrived there, then our men hastened to meet him 09Draskh1    36:1 | Tosp, near the church where our Holy Illuminator had laid down 09Draskh1    40:19 | Our chief naxarars, being secure and 09Draskh1    43:8 | from the sacred repository of our house, so that somehow I 09Draskh1    43:9 | due to the intrigues of our own countrymen against him found 09Draskh1    43:11 | the ostikan to march upon our land. Then, prostrating himself before 09Draskh1    43:15 | set forth and came to our land, where I followed him 09Draskh1    44:5 | was cunningly plotting to torment our people, as well as being 09Draskh1    44:10 | wicked enslavers extensively spread throughout our land, I heeded the order 09Draskh1    44:10 | Caucasus.

Putting our laborious toils on the scale 09Draskh1    45:12 | planted in the midst of our reasonable vineyards and turned into 09Draskh1    45:13 | Providence disregarded us because of our lawlessness, and the righteous sun 09Draskh1    45:13 | of the black notoriety of our deeds. We fell into the 09Draskh1    45:14 | bitterly and banishing us from our homes, disappeared whirling away like 09Draskh1    45:20 | accordance with the foreboding prophet, our sons, who faint and are 09Draskh1    45:21 | and acrid stench rose in our midst that even though we 09Draskh1    45:21 | repaid for the sins in our bosom sevenfold 09Draskh1    45:23 | of bitterness sprouted more from our house than from outside 09Draskh1    45:24 | and impiety, and spoke before our princes words that were deceptive 09Draskh1    45:24 | words. Before the eyes of our generals and chief princes the 09Draskh1    46:1 | blood of the children of our land, which slaughtered many and 09Draskh1    46:2 | suffered by the children of our people, who were struck with 09Draskh1    46:4 | of the vengeful retribution for our acts on the day of 09Draskh1    46:4 | insatiably devour the bodies of our chief princes who are wounded 09Draskh1    46:9 | For it was because of our sins, that our days ended 09Draskh1    46:9 | because of our sins, that our days ended in mist and 09Draskh1    46:19 | fetters on the daughters of our land could not be released 09Draskh1    47:2 | at the sandy foundations of our dwelling 09Draskh1    47:8 | in all the regions of our land, and since there was 09Draskh1    47:11 | to the different regions of our land raised (burning) flames throughout 09Draskh1    47:11 | land raised (burning) flames throughout our country like fire struck by 09Draskh1    47:13 | brigands spread their flames among our people like blazing fires in 09Draskh1    48:8 | numbers of the kinsmen of our king, the princes, governors and 09Draskh1    48:9 | that which had formerly befallen our Trdat 09Draskh1    49:15 | we ourselves have witnessed with our own eyes 09Draskh1    50:9 | sent their raiding forces throughout our land. At first, in a 09Draskh1    51:0 | Disastrous Calamities that Came upon Our Land, and the Martyrdom of 09Draskh1    51:4 | respective regions, and some of our people, panting for breath, could 09Draskh1    51:38 | yourself to Christ, Who is our hope, and offer yourself as 09Draskh1    52:0 | Aggression of Foreign Nations upon Our Land, and the Disunity among 09Draskh1    52:0 | Land, and the Disunity among Our Naxarars 09Draskh1    52:2 | who rose in arms against our country. At their hands the 09Draskh1    52:4 | and covered the face of our land with corpses. Generally taking 09Draskh1    52:5 | depopulated, barren, desolate and devastated, our awans and shens resembled the 09Draskh1    52:5 | in the meadows dried out. Our cities were destroyed by lack 09Draskh1    52:5 | destroyed by lack of population; our tillers were worn out and 09Draskh1    52:6 | Thus, our shame covered us, and through 09Draskh1    52:7 | the foreign invaders, we had our eyes fixed on our kings 09Draskh1    52:7 | had our eyes fixed on our kings, as well as the 09Draskh1    52:7 | princes, lords and naxarars of our land, and raised our hopes 09Draskh1    52:7 | of our land, and raised our hopes high, thinking that the 09Draskh1    52:10 | On the other hand, our kings, lords and princes tried 09Draskh1    53:2 | Formerly, our tillers were extremely zealous in 09Draskh1    53:2 | are dishearted, and disabled; then our granaries were full, while presently 09Draskh1    53:9 | in for the harvest of our toil 09Draskh1    53:10 | the good, and shame covered our faces 09Draskh1    53:12 | Kedar, and were deprived of our possessions, allowances of supplies, and 09Draskh1    53:27 | Thus the children of our people were condemned to perdition 09Draskh1    53:27 | condemned to perdition because of our wickedness, and they were destroyed 09Draskh1    53:32 | these beasts.

Once again the accursed 09Draskh1    54:46 | sword, until the foundations of our land were filled with the 09Draskh1    54:48 | Because of our sins the guardian of the 09Draskh1    54:52 | is forcing us to foresake our Christian faith, while Matthathias is 09Draskh1    54:57 | I am a tormented man, our Hope Christ, Who is known 09Draskh1    54:63 | us this dust, to which our waist is glued, and lift 09Draskh1    54:63 | is glued, and lift from our necks the yoke, which was 09Draskh1    54:63 | for the entire duration of our lives.

Here, the brethren of 09Draskh1    65:17 | congregation joined us in raising our voices in blessing God. We 09Draskh1    65:18 | Thereupon, all of our minds seemed to embark on 09Draskh1    65:18 | sail to the thoughts in our hearts, we carried them out 09Draskh1    65:18 | stored within the depths of our minds 09Draskh1    65:19 | Our intention was as follows: to 09Draskh1    65:19 | we had abandoned much against our will, to relinquish these willingly 09Draskh1    65:19 | and we ourselves returning to our holy edifice might bless the 09Draskh1    65:19 | might bless the name of our God 09Draskh1    65:24 | remain at the threshold of our sanctuary 09Draskh1    66:2 | words against the doctrines of our faith, and calls the Arabs 09Draskh1    66:11 | But Sahak, our blessed bishop-in-residence, together 09Draskh1    66:16 | now we tried to please our generals by devoting our lives 09Draskh1    66:16 | please our generals by devoting our lives to the welfare of 09Draskh1    66:20 | instructed them on matters beyond our teachings—subjects into the truth 09Draskh1    66:46 | the following words: “Almighty God Our Lord, Who art All-merciful 09Draskh1    66:46 | covenant, or betray Thee in our hearts.

Death grew strong and 12Last1    1:5 | Everyone attacked us, and in our dying days there was no 12Last1    1:8 | dispersed like erratic stars. In our day, wars sprung up on 12Last1    1:10 | from this point so that our words are intelligible to you 12Last1    1:26 | return to the course of our narration 12Last1    1:27 | In the year [464] of our era [1015] Bagarat, (king) of Abkhazia 12Last1    2:2 | him on the throne of our Illuminator. (Like Gregory the Illuminator 12Last1    2:16 | In [467] of our era [1018] the emperor (of Byzantium 12Last1    2:28 | or how can I lament our misfortunes in a fitting way 12Last1    2:37 | the waters in accordance with our ( Armenian) canons, while the Byzantine 12Last1    2:38 | God, and the horn of our faith was raised up.

Now when 12Last1    9:8 | because of the impiety of our ( Christian) troops which caused the 12Last1    9:11 | evening, in the year [482] of our ( Armenian) era [1033]. Many learned people 12Last1    9:11 | such (disasters) did occur in our day, and this narration is 12Last1    9:11 | a description) of them. With our own eyes we saw the 12Last1    9:11 | directed against Armenia because of our sins 12Last1    9:13 | Likewise, here in our times, a man similar to 12Last1    9:16 | Michael [V]), they demanded: “Show us our imperial queen who has inherited 12Last1    10:10 | His eye is alert and our secrets are revealed before His 12Last1    10:12 | was the year [490] according to our ( Armenian) [1041] calendar 12Last1    10:13 | who held the kingship of our land, died 12Last1    10:19 | now to move forward in our narration 12Last1    10:28 | Prior to this, our land appeared to travelers as 12Last1    10:32 | envy, became abodes of clerics. Our land had many such things 12Last1    10:35 | Our everything has turned to lamentation 12Last1    10:35 | everything has turned to lamentation; our robe of gladness has become 12Last1    10:35 | can bear the narration of our misfortunes? What heart of stone 12Last1    10:35 | It is time to mingle our sighs with Jeremiah’s laments: “Zion’s 12Last1    10:38 | Lord had planted and which our Illuminator tended with fifteen years 12Last1    10:38 | We shall now return to our narration 12Last1    10:40 | occupied the patriarchal throne of our Illuminator; and (Gagik) with great 12Last1    10:47 | Armenia until the year [493] of our ( Armenian) calendar [1044] when a certain 12Last1    10:47 | patriarch arose and came to our populous, shahastan city filling with 12Last1    11:0 | of Heaven’s wrath opened upon our land. Numerous troops moved forth 12Last1    11:5 | and were found lacking in our thanks 12Last1    11:6 | we should have come to our senses from the punishment suffered 12Last1    11:6 | from the punishment suffered by our brothers, and we should have 12Last1    11:7 | should have calmed God with our uprightness, extinguished the blazing flames 12Last1    11:7 | knowledge of Him dawn in our hearts. To those who are 12Last1    11:8 | we were saved because of our justice. But we did not 12Last1    11:11 | In the year [497] of our ( Armenian) calendar [1048] which was the 12Last1    11:11 | was the second year of our captivity, once again the dregs 12Last1    11:15 | Cross, they speedily came to our land in great excitement 12Last1    11:17 | more deserving of lamentation is our ( account), when not merely a 12Last1    11:17 | generations an unhappy history. For ( our) cities were ruined, homes burned 12Last1    11:20 | Remember not our sins, and because of our 12Last1    11:20 | our sins, and because of our sins turn not Your face 12Last1    11:20 | and betrayed us because of our sins. Remain not eternally angry 12Last1    11:20 | us, and, in time, forget our sins 12Last1    11:22 | But now our noontime became eclipsed and was 12Last1    11:22 | the flock of God. When our day turned into night, they 12Last1    12:3 | were like kings of peoples. Our city was like a precious 12Last1    12:4 | the Sceptics and Pyrrhonists entered our churches, the reign of justice 12Last1    12:12 | cause; rather, to illustrate that our chastisement shall be equal to 12Last1    12:12 | severe than the (nature of) our transgressions. Now if they (the 12Last1    12:14 | Jerusalem, and they also wasted our cities; pagans entered the holy 12Last1    12:14 | temple; and they also entered our churches, daring to go to 12Last1    12:15 | consumed by fire, yet in our case, instead of that one 12Last1    12:15 | can count how many of our ( priests) perished 12Last1    12:16 | follow David and to create our lament based on his: “Why 12Last1    12:16 | do You hide Yourself in our times of trouble” [Psalms 10.1]? When the 12Last1    12:18 | disasters that were visited upon our city? It was (here) as 12Last1    12:25 | whoever wants to learn of our omission look in the ruins 12Last1    12:25 | about what we saw with our own eyes, and about the 12Last1    12:25 | needed for that. We abbreviated our ( account) as much as possible 12Last1    13:8 | the enemy was delighted, while our ( people) were full of woes 12Last1    14:4 | venerable man, the substitute for our great Illuminator (St. Gregory) was 12Last1    15:1 | festival) of the Revelation of Our Lord, in the evening, when 12Last1    16:0 | occurred was (the year) [503] of our ( Armenian) era [1054]. Now the same 12Last1    16:7 | is the Jeremiah to mourn our destruction, prolonging the lament on 12Last1    16:8 | nor deed which can mitigate our ( suffering), except for the Evil 12Last1    16:26 | with us in accordance with our sins) caused a foolish plan 12Last1    16:31 | us recall the name of our Lord, be proud of God 12Last1    16:38 | However, one of our presbyters, who was quite old 12Last1    16:41 | and came to battle with our people, for he was a 12Last1    17:0 | the validity of this with our own eyes, in the case 12Last1    17:5 | Babylonia. This transpired in [504] of our ( Armenian) [1055] era 12Last1    17:14 | the period we lived in. Our life was not a real 12Last1    17:14 | people) that the sins of our fathers will be visited upon 12Last1    17:14 | must pay the debts of our fathers. God, speaking to Ezekiel 12Last1    17:16 | visited upon us because of our evils, then we are more 12Last1    17:16 | sword, homeless, and pillaged of our belongings 12Last1    17:18 | Our churches resembled a new bride 12Last1    17:18 | from the immaculate womb of our mother Sarah, resembled dove chicks 12Last1    17:24 | visited upon us because of our wickedness, inform Heaven and those 12Last1    17:24 | let them mourn and lament our destruction 12Last1    17:25 | to rejoice. They are all our comrades, and since they share 12Last1    17:25 | and since they share in our joy, they should partake of 12Last1    17:25 | joy, they should partake of our sorrows, as it was in 12Last1    17:25 | bowed down with us in our day of humiliation and tribulation 12Last1    17:26 | work to appease God with our righteousness. Should that occur, then 12Last1    17:27 | For if God is on our side, who can oppose us 12Last1    17:27 | Him with sincere hearts, having ( our) good deeds as a pledge 12Last1    18:14 | transpired in the year [506] of our ( Armenian) era [1057], which was the 12Last1    18:20 | nature had grown used to our species, which filled the land 12Last1    18:21 | here. We shall return to our sorrowful, unfortunate history 12Last1    18:24 | by booty alone, but craved our deaths with voracious appetites. It 12Last1    18:35 | Oh, the great number of our evil deeds! For this is 12Last1    18:48 | did not hear us in our time of need. No, He 12Last1    18:49 | betrayed into the hand of our enemies, and straitened by those 12Last1    18:49 | hated us. Their arrows drank our blood, and their swords ate 12Last1    18:49 | swords ate the flesh of our fallen wounded fighting men. In 12Last1    21:1 | conduct. Yet we rebelled from our sweet and good Father and 12Last1    21:2 | Therefore, in the time of our need and of our torments 12Last1    21:2 | of our need and of our torments, He ignored us, and 12Last1    21:2 | hand of a foreign people. Our enemies grew strong against us 12Last1    21:2 | we were laid low, and our entrails congealed in the ground 12Last1    21:3 | Their water turned to blood. Our rivers and cisterns and virtually 12Last1    21:3 | the country was dyed with our blood. Tumors formed all over 12Last1    21:3 | formed all over their bodies. Our bodies were stabbed by swords 12Last1    21:3 | but volleys of arrows were our fate, and they wounded more 12Last1    21:4 | these same pests) crept into our homes and churches—it terrifies 12Last1    21:5 | find that we too had our Sea. For are there deeper 12Last1    21:5 | ends of the earth, whither our captives were dragged, wherein they 12Last1    21:8 | of ridicule and derision by our enemies? Arise and awaken Your 12Last1    21:8 | and save us, and requite our neighbors sevenfold 12Last1    21:11 | a day untainted. Such is our nature: when growing poor, we 12Last1    21:12 | Therefore, constantly changing our condition, we are taught to 12Last1    21:12 | we are taught to know our limits and not to ascend 12Last1    21:12 | and not to ascend above our bounds, so that our fall 12Last1    21:12 | above our bounds, so that our fall not be all the 12Last1    21:13 | it. However, the creator of our nature does not want anyone 12Last1    21:14 | here. We now return to our narration 12Last1    21:28 | occurred in the year [507] of our ( Armenian) [1058] era 12Last1    22:4 | they wrap themselves up in our pious faith to deceive the 12Last1    22:5 | Indeed our Lord Himself had them in 12Last1    22:8 | such was the case regarding our people. (Bitter water indeed did 12Last1    22:8 | that same sweet fountain which our great leader (St. Gregory) caused 12Last1    22:9 | until recently. Truly, (St. Gregory) our Illuminator himself saw in prophetic 12Last1    22:11 | weed from the meadow of our faith, who strained and purified 12Last1    22:12 | to the narration so that our words be supported 12Last1    22:13 | about—began shooting arrows at our faith, arrows whose heads had 12Last1    22:15 | of discord, that Church which our Lord Jesus Christ ransomed with 12Last1    22:29 | of Constantinople. There he slandered our ( Armenian Apostolic) faith and requested 12Last1    23:15 | unashamedly destroyed the symbol of our salvation, the weapon of the 12Last1    23:15 | nothing except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” [Galatians 6.14]. Since I 12Last1    23:32 | that the Lord was visiting our ( Armenian) people. In trembling from 12Last1    24:3 | Now let us return to our former narration. Let it not 12Last1    24:7 | kingdom. This transpired in [513] of our ( Armenian) [1063/64] era 12Last1    24:8 | of armed troops and entered our land, spreading dread and terror 12Last1    25:14 | did the Lord come to our troops with weapon and shield 12Last1    25:15 | us into the hands of our enemies and to the insults 12Last1    25:15 | and to the insults of our neighbors, and He gave us 12Last1    25:15 | us as lambs for slaughter. Our bows turned to dust, our 12Last1    25:15 | Our bows turned to dust, our weapons were destroyed, our forces 12Last1    25:15 | dust, our weapons were destroyed, our forces weakened and deserted, for 12Last1    25:15 | the desire for valor from our troops and princes. He took 12Last1    25:15 | to the enemy, because of our improper conduct 12Last1    25:16 | temptation so that we understand our weakness. He kept and pardoned 12Last1    25:19 | flood like gushing water over our lands; to establish their headquarters 12Last1    25:19 | the great city, filling up our entire land with blood and 12Last1    26:1 | considered it important to remind our beloved brothers, in written form 12Last1    26:7 | eclipse became actualized, because afterwards our enemies attacked us and made 12Last1    26:9 | life.
