He ordered the enemy 03Buz3    8:19 | the Armenians went and attacked their army, placing their hopes in 03Buz3    8:19 | and attacked their army, placing their hopes in God. They struck 03Buz3    8:20 | and the entire strength of their force 03Buz3    8:23 | of that naxarardom eliminated, and their tun was seized for the 03Buz3    8:25 | For he feared their irresolution thinking that they might 03Buz3    8:28 | for all the days of their lives 03Buz3    10:10 | turned back and went on their way 03Buz3    10:13 | began to treacherously worship to their own destruction what was cast 03Buz3    10:15 | waiting with great expectations (for their return) from a long journey 03Buz3    10:17 | all species, a symbol of their fathers’ deeds the entire city 03Buz3    10:18 | and beneficial footprints, considering him their shepherd and as a man 03Buz3    10:25 | words? I relieved them from their bonds, and they are still 03Buz3    10:42 | Standing in their midst, by means of the 03Buz3    11:8 | land they will implant here their impious, unbelieving, godless orders. We 03Buz3    11:10 | In death, they held firmly their faithfulness and sacrificed their lives 03Buz3    11:10 | firmly their faithfulness and sacrificed their lives for the divine truth 03Buz3    11:11 | Those who did not spare their lives for all this must 03Buz3    11:12 | so that everyone will commemorate their good memory without fail as 03Buz3    11:15 | Juda and Mattathias Maccabaei and their brothers 03Buz3    11:19 | natural earthly Arsakuni lords, for their tun and lives; and so 03Buz3    11:22 | who were left orphaned of their natural lord and their spiritual 03Buz3    11:22 | of their natural lord and their spiritual vardapet accompanied Vrtanes’ body 03Buz3    12:5 | royal wagon, take him to their borders, to the capital city 03Buz3    12:19 | to Christ’s counsel, and to their faces he reprimanded, reproached, and 03Buz3    13:0 | Yusik’s sons were unworthy of their father’s patriarchal throne 03Buz3    13:3 | abyss of destruction, having cut their own road, they were ruined 03Buz3    13:3 | one to be shamed by their acts and sins of frenzy 03Buz3    13:4 | road of ruin, and by their own will fell into sin 03Buz3    13:4 | will fell into sin, by their will they became the sons 03Buz3    13:5 | to the enemy wolves, becoming their food, just like the great 03Buz3    13:6 | In that tine people took their wicked example from the king 03Buz3    13:10 | For their minds were occupied with useless 03Buz3    13:10 | like little boys prepossessed with their childish toys, and they took 03Buz3    13:10 | things. Similarly, the Armenians with their weak minds were attached to 03Buz3    13:11 | They loved their songs, legends, epic-tales, and 03Buz3    13:12 | Lovers tried to scandalize their loved ones, relations their relatives 03Buz3    13:12 | scandalize their loved ones, relations their relatives, families their families, members 03Buz3    13:12 | ones, relations their relatives, families their families, members of the same 03Buz3    13:12 | other members, and in-laws, their inlaws 03Buz3    13:17 | Rather, like the Jews, with their blinded and benighted minds, they 03Buz3    13:19 | hard-hearted, severe sons and their fathers have grieved me 03Buz3    13:21 | He became the cause of their salvation 03Buz3    13:25 | Rather, their Lord quit them, and they 03Buz3    13:25 | quit them, and they pursued their hearts’ desires, for there was 03Buz3    13:26 | conduct matters in accordance with their wishes 03Buz3    13:27 | virtue. They did not resemble their fathers or their progenitor Yusik 03Buz3    13:27 | not resemble their fathers or their progenitor Yusik. They did not 03Buz3    13:27 | nor did they think about their spiritual honor, the honor of 03Buz3    13:28 | they resembled the people of their own age, and, boasting of 03Buz3    13:28 | own age, and, boasting of their earthly noble pedigree they chose 03Buz3    13:29 | and were rejected because of their arrogance, in accordance with the 03Buz3    13:29 | with the previous vision of their father, and they did not 03Buz3    13:30 | only ones, and because of their behavior, they were unworthy of 03Buz3    13:30 | behavior, they were unworthy of their fathers 03Buz3    14:8 | The land liked to revere their king Trdat, the first to 03Buz3    14:9 | protomartyrs, Gayiane and Hripsime and their colleagues. So too, even more 03Buz3    14:24 | call the aged Daniel to their banak so that they might 03Buz3    14:24 | that they might make him their principal leader and seat him 03Buz3    14:34 | your stupidity. For they, in their opinion, killed the Lord; while 03Buz3    14:37 | Despite this God, through their blood, counseled you with many 03Buz3    14:41 | atone for the evils of their comrades, with their entreaties again 03Buz3    14:41 | evils of their comrades, with their entreaties again did they labor 03Buz3    14:42 | You should have cared for their sons and students who, according 03Buz3    14:42 | and students who, according to their spiritual words, were their sons 03Buz3    14:42 | to their spiritual words, were their sons through divine birth, your 03Buz3    14:42 | for those who even were their physical sons and were in 03Buz3    14:42 | less in spiritual work than their fathers 03Buz3    14:44 | fathers, not wanting to hear their beneficial advice, so did you 03Buz3    14:44 | advice, so did you kill their sons and heirs, their colleagues 03Buz3    14:44 | kill their sons and heirs, their colleagues and those resembling them 03Buz3    14:45 | conduct of the Jews with their killings and dispossessions. Just as 03Buz3    14:45 | as they, being unadvised, destroyed their apostles and prophets, so did 03Buz3    14:53 | for people who have turned their backs, not their faces, to 03Buz3    14:53 | have turned their backs, not their faces, to the Lord? How 03Buz3    15:1 | in the vardapetal priesthood of their fathers 03Buz3    15:2 | Against their will they forcibly seized them 03Buz3    15:7 | they could find to be their leader. They all resolved that 03Buz3    16:3 | And they returned thence to their own land in peace 03Buz3    17:7 | they openly and boldly worked their sins, fearlessly accomplishing all sorts 03Buz3    17:8 | the old former deeds of their fathers 03Buz3    17:10 | the Lord decreased battle in their boundaries, and until that time 03Buz3    17:11 | the Lord increased aggrevation from their enemies on all sides of 03Buz3    17:11 | enemies on all sides of their borders. And none of the 03Buz3    18:2 | visited agitation upon them for their spirit of abomination and error 03Buz3    18:2 | abomination and error. Because of their impiety, first they destroyed and 03Buz3    18:9 | arm, and rushed out with their weapons aloft, ready to fight 03Buz3    18:10 | of that time, they left their charge, Arshak, and quit the 03Buz3    18:11 | They went to their land, to the strongholds of 03Buz3    18:11 | remaining there many years with their families, leaving their other home 03Buz3    18:11 | years with their families, leaving their other home 03Buz3    18:12 | children, Shawasp and Tachat, married their daughters to them, and regenerated 03Buz3    19:0 | a blessed place because of their impiety 03Buz3    19:1 | Yusik, Pap and Atanagines led their lives in impiety, lewdness and 03Buz3    19:2 | Every day of their lives passed in great audacity 03Buz3    19:2 | the fear of God before their eyes. They conducted themselves in 03Buz3    19:3 | Ashtishat, the first church which their grandfather, Gregory, had built 03Buz3    19:10 | one dared to approach. Finally, their bodies rotted, spoiled, and decomposed 03Buz3    19:10 | rotted, spoiled, and decomposed, and their bones came apart and scattered 03Buz3    19:11 | to enter, collect and remove their bones which had become withered 03Buz3    20:27 | remaining in the dwellings of their tuns 03Buz3    20:44 | they wept and mourned for their natural lord, the king of 03Buz3    21:0 | the emperor of Byzantium, pledging their loyalty; how king Nerseh of 03Buz3    21:2 | Those assembled spoke with their comrades, saying: “What is this 03Buz3    21:2 | emperor proposing that they extend their hand to, and obediently serve 03Buz3    21:2 | them in exacting vengeance from their enemies 03Buz3    21:6 | had not yet returned to their land, Nerseh himself, king of 03Buz3    21:8 | azatazork of Armenian naxarars took their families and fled to the 03Buz3    21:12 | and noted the number of their troops 03Buz3    21:13 | Then they returned to their camp and prepared their organization 03Buz3    21:13 | to their camp and prepared their organization.

But in their place, we shall fill your 06Khor3    50:6 | princes installed by Khosrov of their rank. Likewise, he ordered them 06Khor3    50:9 | Both of them with their soldiers, seven hundred strong, were 06Khor3    50:9 | on the road and free their king Khosrov. But they were 06Khor3    50:10 | of Pargev, and many of their company were killed.

With their help he created letters for 06Khor3    54:9 | anyone to learn Greek in their part but only Syriac 06Khor3    55:6 | of Armenia no more of their own line but his own 06Khor3    56:5 | Armenian princes gathered together with their armies and gave battle to 06Khor3    56:5 | Persian force. They cut down their army, and Aprsam Spanduni killed 06Khor3    56:5 | army, and Aprsam Spanduni killed their general.

And, leaving their horses at the camp, they 08Ghev1    1:10 | and from the weight of their weapons, they fell upon the 08Ghev1    1:11 | rested themselves, quickly leaped on their mounts and attacked, delivering many 08Ghev1    1:11 | those who had fallen to their swords, returned in joy to 08Ghev1    1:11 | swords, returned in joy to their own land 08Ghev1    2:3 | and took the spoil to their own land 08Ghev1    2:5 | part transporting the captives to their own land, and the other 08Ghev1    2:9 | The troops mounted their horses and went to a 08Ghev1    2:10 | the Arabs pursued them to their camp and then they themselves 08Ghev1    2:10 | then they themselves returned to their own camp to rest 08Ghev1    2:13 | the twenty-sixth year of their rule, once again they attacked 08Ghev1    3:5 | the multitude of captives with their sons and daughters were in 08Ghev1    3:9 | who had come against them, their resolve weakened and they were 08Ghev1    3:9 | enemy. Even though they saw their women and children being led 08Ghev1    3:9 | sobbing, lamenting, and grieving for their women and children 08Ghev1    3:11 | the thirty-sixth year of their rule, they assembled a force 08Ghev1    3:12 | into three fronts and began their raiding 08Ghev1    3:14 | Then they negligently took their pleasure, having abominably foul intercourse 08Ghev1    3:14 | God Who demanded vengeance from their enemy 08Ghev1    3:16 | wrought such evil deeds during their day, the princes of the 08Ghev1    4:9 | Getting the Byzantine troops in their midst (the Arabs) hurled some 08Ghev1    4:16 | fulfilled the prophecy of David: “ Their swords shall enter their own 08Ghev1    4:16 | David: “Their swords shall enter their own hearts and their bows 08Ghev1    4:16 | enter their own hearts and their bows shall be broken” [Psalm 37: 15].

As soon as day 08Ghev1    8:11 | and blood, regarding it as their last rites 08Ghev1    8:12 | a small meal to strengthen their bodies, and then immediately arose 08Ghev1    8:13 | they slaughtered many Arabs with their swords 08Ghev1    8:14 | the Ishmaelite troops from unleashing their might. They had spent the 08Ghev1    8:17 | barefoot, and wounded. She bandaged their wounds, brought them back to 08Ghev1    8:19 | spoil, sent glad tidings of their victory to the Byzantine emperor 08Ghev1    8:20 | the lords with him, and their troops.
