He 04Yegh2    11:274 | the perverse one took up his residence in unconsolable sadness 04Yegh2    12:282 | closely behind. Deeply wounded in his intentions, he shattered his earlier 04Yegh2    12:282 | in his intentions, he shattered his earlier firm oath 04Yegh2    12:285 | and obstruct the desires of his impiety; lead us back with 04Yegh2    12:286 | as if the desire of his impiety would be fulfilled 04Yegh2    12:287 | the gods had come to his help and had toppled and 04Yegh2    12:288 | righteousness was absorbing and consuming his dark plots, and that they 04Yegh2    12:288 | were destroying and ruining all his perverse desires 04Yegh2    12:290 | and making them distinguished throughout his entire worldwide empire 04Yegh2    12:291 | in the arrogant presumption of his perverse mind he thought that 04Yegh2    12:295 | magnates of every region of his dominions how “by the help 04Yegh3    2:32 | With the sad news in his mouth and with his collar 04Yegh3    2:32 | in his mouth and with his collar rent, he reached the 04Yegh3    2:35 | of blood brother be upon his relative who may transgress the 04Yegh3    2:35 | Let not a father spare his son, nor a son respect 04Yegh3    2:35 | son, nor a son respect his father’s dignity 04Yegh3    2:36 | and a servant turn against his master 04Yegh3    2:42 | priest Ḷevond, in concert with his leading supporters and many clergy 04Yegh3    2:49 | He frequently begged his assistants to rescue him from 04Yegh3    3:70 | he sees for sure with his own eyes 04Yegh3    3:75 | them alone in accordance with his former edict and to let 04Yegh3    4:81 | land of Siunik he increased his own forces for the support 04Yegh3    4:90 | had inflicted mortal wounds on his soul, they turned away in 04Yegh3    4:91 | they realized the firmness of his mind, and that he had 04Yegh3    4:91 | in the least failed in his love for Christ 04Yegh3    4:95 | to understand the consequences of his deeds 04Yegh3    5:105 | king’s gifts and trampled underfoot his fearsome commands 04Yegh3    5:109 | the covenant; he repented of his earlier falling away from them 04Yegh3    5:112 | Now although they well knew his deceitful hypocrisy and that he 04Yegh3    5:112 | he would falsely return to his old error, they were in 04Yegh3    5:112 | to seize him because of his former transgression, but they left 04Yegh3    5:112 | former transgression, but they left his condemnation to the Holy Gospel 04Yegh3    5:121 | and they dug each one his own grave.

This 04Yegh3    7:152 | In his stead the emperor Marcianus came 04Yegh3    7:152 | The king was influenced by his evil counselors Anatolius, who was 04Yegh3    7:161 | prince of Siunik, who in his innermost heart had not abandoned 04Yegh3    7:161 | innermost heart had not abandoned his covenant with the heathen 04Yegh3    7:163 | prince of the Bagratunik with his forces 04Yegh3    7:164 | prince of the Khorkhorunik with his forces 04Yegh3    7:165 | prince of the Apahunik with his forces 04Yegh3    7:166 | prince of the Vahevunik with his forces 04Yegh3    7:167 | prince of the Palunik with his forces 04Yegh3    7:168 | prince of the Gabeleank with his forces 04Yegh3    7:169 | The prince of Urts with his forces 04Yegh3    7:170 | house he brought over to his side and some lesser nobles 04Yegh3    7:171 | wait in the strongholds of his own land with the fictitious 04Yegh3    7:172 | But from his securely hidden lair he quickly 04Yegh3    8:178 | gathered all the host of his army and rapidly crossed the 04Yegh3    8:179 | After crossing with all his troops, he drew them up 04Yegh3    8:186 | offered resistance; they unseated from his horse and killed one of 04Yegh3    8:187 | that spot Arshavir Arsharuni raised his eyes, roared like a lion 04Yegh3    8:187 | of the Lpink. Many of his aides-de-camp he killed 04Yegh3    8:188 | all alike struck each man his opponent to the ground 04Yegh3    8:191 | river on the back of his horse with his armor. Saved 04Yegh3    8:191 | back of his horse with his armor.

He lost all his strength, especially because he had 04Yegh3    9:224 | threw all the blame for his enterprises on his counselors 04Yegh3    9:224 | blame for his enterprises on his counselors 04Yegh3    9:225 | Then he cooled from his raging anger because the mouths 04Yegh3    9:225 | anger because the mouths of his evil advisers, who had been 04Yegh3    10:226 | He was humbled from his lofty pride, and he restored 04Yegh3    10:226 | lofty pride, and he restored his wild heart to human nature 04Yegh3    10:226 | to do. Therefore, he ceased his haughty aggression, and quieted his 04Yegh3    10:226 | his haughty aggression, and quieted his raging cries 04Yegh3    10:238 | the Council and attending to his disingenuous speech bent down in 04Yegh3    10:242 | summoned before him those in his army, of all nations, who 04Yegh3    10:242 | daring to worship God in his presence 04Yegh3    10:248 | a friendly way according to his previous custom 04Yegh3    10:249 | throughout the whole area of his empire concerning the Christians 04Yegh3    11:252 | from them a testimony of his sincerity for Armenia; and with 04Yegh3    11:252 | with the approbation of all his magnates, to the effect that 04Yegh3    11:255 | other way, he reverted to his earlier wicked views 04Yegh3    11:256 | the success of events on his own ministers, he thus assumed 04Yegh3    11:256 | out everything in accordance with his previous intentions 04Yegh3    11:257 | each other: “How brazen is his treacherous deceit!

His name was Mihrnerseh, and there 04Yegh3    11:275 | at all who could escape his clutches 04Yegh3    11:276 | even the king himself obeyed his command; and now he had 04Yegh4    1:0 | the Prince of Siunik and His Companions 04Yegh4    1:9 | sent and summoned him to his presence 04Yegh4    1:10 | and presented himself. He confirmed his own faithfulness and the illegal 04Yegh4    1:13 | hopes that were even above his own station—to the effect 04Yegh4    1:14 | agreed to everything including following his wishes, the embittered old man 04Yegh4    1:14 | He was greatly consoled in his miserable mind and thought that 04Yegh4    1:15 | He attributed this knowledge to his own cunning, quite unaware of 04Yegh4    1:15 | the fact that Vasak on his own had separated and cut 04Yegh4    1:19 | deed of adoption and with his own hands broke the firm 04Yegh4    1:22 | it were a soldier fulfilling his will 04Yegh4    1:25 | Here are the names of his associates 04Yegh4    2:37 | He caused his entire land to apostatize completely 04Yegh4    2:37 | the holy clergy.

But Mattathias and his companions had not weakened or 04Yegh5    3:52 | Persian general set out with his whole heathen host, marched to 04Yegh5    3:53 | in that province, he pitched his camp, dug ditches, erected a 04Yegh5    3:54 | Detaching a large force from his army, he raided many provinces 04Yegh5    3:58 | to subterfuge in accordance with his former duplicity.

Inside, for his sister Khosrovidukht, he built a 06Khor2    90:12 | no more to anyone until his death 06Khor2    91:3 | with bishops and teachers, in his love for the mountains and 06Khor2    91:3 | God without distraction, he left his own son Aristakes as his 06Khor2    91:3 | his own son Aristakes as his successor and remained himself in 06Khor2    91:6 | traveled about the country, confirming his disciples in the faith 06Khor2    91:7 | But when his own son Aristakēs returned from 06Khor2    91:8 | Therefore from the beginning of his priesthood in the seventeenth year 06Khor2    91:9 | seventh year of Trdat until his fifty-second, in which Aristakēs 06Khor2    91:12 | But his disciples took the saint’s body 06Khor2    91:12 | it to rest in T’il, his own town 06Khor2    91:13 | His elder brother Vrt’anēs succeeded him 06Khor2    91:14 | for many years and on his death was transposed to the 06Khor2    91:16 | also be the servants of his disciple’s burial 06Khor2    91:19 | from the Surēn branch through his father called Anak. From the 06Khor2    92:2 | precedence to my Illuminator by his rank as martyr alone, though 06Khor2    92:2 | also add, by reason of his virtue.

But for the sake 06Khor2    92:29 | Who in his right mind would not lament 06Khor2    92:32 | rays of the light of his grace. He reigned fifty-six 06Khor3    2:2 | which had been built by his father in Tarawn 06Khor3    2:3 | T’il, where the tomb of his brother Aristakēs was.

In later times the 08Ghev1    12:5 | host of troops, and all his gigantic and strong-bodied forces 08Ghev1    12:8 | So he ordered his troops to kindle an enormous 08Ghev1    12:8 | the camp.

He effected the release 08Ghev1    13:2 | peace to the lands under his dominion 08Ghev1    13:6 | was it that Jesus and His disciples came naked into this 08Ghev1    13:6 | Himself has said as to His person, but have preferred to 08Ghev1    13:7 | near to God, and knew His person better than mere men 08Ghev1    13:13 | Jesus, when he speaks in his vision, of two riders, mounted 08Ghev1    13:15 | the Emperor Leo, who, in his turn, felt himself obliged to 08Ghev1    14:12 | what Jesus has said about His own person, regarding that as 08Ghev1    14:14 | of the Prophets, so that His people should be instructed in 08Ghev1    14:15 | Gospels, has borne testimony to His Person, and having become incarnate 08Ghev1    14:15 | had given of Him before His incarnation 08Ghev1    14:16 | glorious of these predictions to His super-human nature, and the 08Ghev1    14:16 | the more humble ones to His human nature 08Ghev1    14:20 | His commands, set forth by the 08Ghev1    14:20 | which spoke to them before His incarnation. The fact that the 08Ghev1    14:24 | the same purpose, blessed Judah, his son, saying: “The scepter shall 08Ghev1    14:24 | the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to 08Ghev1    14:33 | the inspiration of God through His Prophets that all the truths 08Ghev1    14:34 | to Abraham and geared to his descendant who is Christ, and 08Ghev1    14:41 | served as solid testimonies to His economy and His mission 08Ghev1    14:41 | testimonies to His economy and His mission 08Ghev1    14:42 | drew the major part of His testimonies in preaching to the 08Ghev1    14:46 | spoke to men through Prophets, His ministers. He who is exempt 08Ghev1    14:51 | to reveal Himself and proclaim His will to man little by 08Ghev1    14:51 | have been unable to perceive His marvellous knowledge all at once 08Ghev1    14:58 | the human race either by His own incorporeal appearance or by 08Ghev1    14:59 | He meant to comfort them His disciples for His ascension, and 08Ghev1    14:59 | comfort them His disciples for His ascension, and remind them of 08Ghev1    14:61 | of our Lord, but in his own name. Jesus promised the 08Ghev1    14:61 | the saints, that is, to His disciples, not to men in 08Ghev1    14:61 | and you know well that His disciples did not live to 08Ghev1    14:62 | Creator spread the teaching of His divine knowledge by His Prophets 08Ghev1    14:62 | of His divine knowledge by His Prophets successively, one by one 08Ghev1    14:64 | Apostle after the death of His disciples 08Ghev1    14:70 | less, since Christ appeared, and His Gospel has been spread from 08Ghev1    14:75 | composed by himself, according to his taste, and spread everywhere in 08Ghev1    14:80 | of God who are under His command to communicate with you 08Ghev1    14:82 | these words, if not to His Word, who is the image 08Ghev1    14:82 | who is the image of His substance, the ray of the 08Ghev1    14:82 | ray of the light of His glory, and to the Holy 08Ghev1    14:90 | you believe that it was his material body full of infirmities 08Ghev1    14:90 | infirmities which God created in His image? Never. On the contrary 08Ghev1    14:90 | On the contrary, it was his soul, reason and word which 08Ghev1    14:90 | created in the image of His Spirit and His Word. Man 08Ghev1    14:90 | image of His Spirit and His Word. Man, being created in 08Ghev1    14:91 | a despised creature because of his reproachable ingratitude, he abandoned himself 08Ghev1    14:91 | life of most profane debauchery. His whole life came to present 08Ghev1    14:93 | God, therefore, seeing His image so degraded by this 08Ghev1    14:93 | other than coming to know his Creator and flee from the 08Ghev1    14:93 | Himself known through the Prophets, His ministers, like by a light 08Ghev1    14:94 | for which reason God revealed His knowledge gradually, little by little 08Ghev1    14:94 | the Prophets, the coming of His incarnate Word 08Ghev1    14:95 | has been said as to His lowering Himself; and, on the 08Ghev1    14:95 | has been said as to His supremacy, we attribute to Him 08Ghev1    14:97 | prophet shall die from among his people.” [Deut. 18:15, 18-19]. It is true that 08Ghev1    14:98 | first those which testify to His humiliation, believing that you will 08Ghev1    14:99 | wag their heads; ’He committed his cause to the Lord; let 08Ghev1    14:99 | Lord, at the time of His crucifixion 08Ghev1    14:102 | host by the breath of his mouth.” [Psalm 33:5-6]. Isaiah (says): “The Lord 08Ghev1    14:102 | Lord has sent me and his Spirit 08Ghev1    14:103 | and gave her to Jacob his servant and to Israel whom 08Ghev1    14:105 | Prophet indicates two emanations of His light: the first is that 08Ghev1    14:105 | the first is that of His ineffable humiliation, whereby He illuminated 08Ghev1    14:105 | to say pagans, should possess His glory. (He then says to 08Ghev1    14:107 | a stranger, in spite of his will, and mentioned by Moses 08Ghev1    14:107 | and mentioned by Moses in his book: “How fair are your 08Ghev1    14:107 | scepter shall come forth from his descendant and shall rule over 08Ghev1    14:107 | shall rule over many nations; his king shall be higher than 08Ghev1    14:107 | be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted 08Ghev1    14:109 | stand for Satan and all his demons, who maintain the untruthful 08Ghev1    14:110 | If you ask why His ( Christ’s) kingdom was elevated above 08Ghev1    14:111 | indicate that Christ was, by His divinity, Son of God, the 08Ghev1    14:111 | the celestial King, and by His human (nature) as son of 08Ghev1    14:113 | May his name endure forever, his fame 08Ghev1    14:113 | May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as 08Ghev1    14:113 | not to Him who, in His human nature is son of 08Ghev1    14:113 | son of David, but in His divine nature is Son of 08Ghev1    14:114 | in the following Psalm: “In his days may righteousness flourish, and 08Ghev1    14:118 | the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will 08Ghev1    14:118 | be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called the 08Ghev1    14:118 | called Angel by reason of His human character completely free of 08Ghev1    14:118 | Mighty God are attributes of His divine nature 08Ghev1    14:119 | adds: “of the increase of his government and of peace there 08Ghev1    14:119 | throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and 08Ghev1    14:120 | these words: “I will establish his line for ever and his 08Ghev1    14:120 | his line for ever and his throne as the days of 08Ghev1    14:121 | of Christ, who as to His human nature was a son 08Ghev1    14:121 | announced: “(Of the increase of his government and of peace there 08Ghev1    14:121 | throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and 08Ghev1    14:122 | the son of David by His human nature, himself will transport 08Ghev1    14:122 | human nature, himself will transport His eternal and inaccessible kingdom higher 08Ghev1    14:122 | a son and shall call his name Emmanuel, which means, God 08Ghev1    14:123 | will, to some citations regarding His ineffable humiliation in the sufferings 08Ghev1    14:125 | Savior: He was sold by His disciple, and handed over to 08Ghev1    14:126 | ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.” [Psalm 41:9]. Listen to 08Ghev1    14:126 | many were astonished at him ( his appearance was so marred, be 08Ghev1    14:126 | be-yond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the 08Ghev1    14:128 | made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed 08Ghev1    14:129 | we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord 08Ghev1    14:129 | afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that 08Ghev1    14:129 | dumb, so he opened not his mouth 08Ghev1    14:130 | was taken away; and as his generation, who considered that he 08Ghev1    14:130 | my people? (And they made his grave with the wicked and 08Ghev1    14:130 | with a rich man in his death), although he had done 08Ghev1    14:130 | there was no deceit in his mouth 08Ghev1    14:131 | set forth by the Prophets, His servants? You must at least 08Ghev1    14:140 | Son can do nothing of his own accord, but the Father 08Ghev1    14:140 | who dwells in me does his work.” [John 5:19; 14:10]. If you believe in 08Ghev1    14:140 | who dwells in me does his works 08Ghev1    14:141 | which came over Him during His life-giving death, and the 08Ghev1    14:141 | and the sweat which covered His face on behalf of Adam’s 08Ghev1    14:141 | which He had said before His incarnation: “In the sweat of 08Ghev1    14:141 | to dispel the idea of His disciples that He was a 08Ghev1    14:143 | that it is not in His human and visible nature (that 08Ghev1    14:143 | that one believes), but in His divine nature, inasmuch as He 08Ghev1    14:144 | a man, and He sent ( His disciples) as God, saying to 08Ghev1    14:144 | my Father are one.” [John 10:30]. In His prayer, as you yourself report 08Ghev1    14:146 | times. Under the cover of His human body He was tempted 08Ghev1    14:147 | Meanwhile the Lord, by His fast of forty days, as 08Ghev1    14:147 | addressed. The Evil One, by his constant jealousy to-wards those 08Ghev1    14:147 | as a mere man. In His human nature (the Lord) replied 08Ghev1    14:147 | replied to (the Adversary) with His full knowledge, acknowledging him as 08Ghev1    14:147 | to him the mystery of His perfectness 08Ghev1    14:148 | follows, when the Satan found his temptations useless and retired for 08Ghev1    14:149 | As for His life-giving death, of which 08Ghev1    14:151 | Then John the Evangelist begins his Gospel with these words: “In 08Ghev1    14:153 | He is (Jesus) Father by His divine nature, and our Father 08Ghev1    14:153 | received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to 08Ghev1    14:153 | children of God.” [John 1:12]. He is His God because of His human 08Ghev1    14:153 | is His God because of His human nature, which He has 08Ghev1    14:153 | us. (Jesus) was sent in His quality as man, and in 08Ghev1    14:153 | quality as man, and in His being as God, He sent 08Ghev1    14:153 | being as God, He sent ( His disciples): “As the Father has 08Ghev1    14:156 | immaculate lamb of God, during His passion, took bread, which He 08Ghev1    14:156 | of wine. These He called His body and His blood, and 08Ghev1    14:156 | He called His body and His blood, and commanded that we 08Ghev1    14:156 | remembrance of Him, announcing thereby His death as the sacrifice of 08Ghev1    14:158 | whereby God desired to treat His covenant in this secret member 08Ghev1    14:159 | sign of nothing other than his faithfulness and love to God 08Ghev1    14:163 | commanded this same baptism in His Gospel, saying: “Go therefore and 08Ghev1    14:165 | begotten Son of God in His human body 08Ghev1    14:167 | you that God said through His Prophet: “Look, you outrageous people 08Ghev1    14:169 | has brought into being by His simple command of word, as 08Ghev1    14:170 | who also animated him by His breath. Consequently, human nature, created 08Ghev1    14:170 | be an impure thing in His sight 08Ghev1    14:172 | man by creating him in His image, would not think it 08Ghev1    14:176 | that God calls just men His habitation, and that He is 08Ghev1    14:176 | that God declared to be His dwelling 08Ghev1    14:177 | special care for those of His saints, of whom He has 08Ghev1    14:177 | who have suffered death in His cause? It is of (these 08Ghev1    14:177 | Lord is the death of His saints 08Ghev1    14:178 | them all.

And as it was 09Draskh1    60:19 | that had been brought upon his land, neither fearing the multitude 09Draskh1    60:19 | nor considering the paucity of his troops, he set out to 09Draskh1    60:20 | top, where he had pitched his camp that whole day and 09Draskh1    60:22 | between a real father and his beloved son 09Draskh1    60:23 | give an immediate answer to his demands 09Draskh1    60:24 | this, he marshalled all of his forces, more than eight thousand 09Draskh1    60:28 | this, then compensate him for his wickedness, and save me from 09Draskh1    60:29 | carry before him, and suddenly his two hundred soldiers raised a 09Draskh1    60:30 | people, namely prince Sahak and his son Grigor, who were both 09Draskh1    60:31 | brought the entire province under his sway 09Draskh1    60:32 | go of the prince and his son, this would foreshadow my 09Draskh1    61:1 | Ishmaelite caliph, who, prevented by his fat belly, sent one of 09Draskh1    61:1 | fat belly, sent one of his ministers (naxarar) against him with 09Draskh1    61:3 | by the caliph, one of his ( Yusuf’s) most venerable servants, a 09Draskh1    61:3 | as prince and commander over his entire house-hold, ruled over 09Draskh1    61:3 | entire house-hold, ruled over his domain by force, and after 09Draskh1    61:5 | still had not forgotten in his heart the wicked venom of 09Draskh1    61:5 | shed on king Gagik, marshalled his forces a few days later 09Draskh1    62:1 | to naught.

Thus Mu’nis made Yusuf his protege, one who would concur 09Draskh1    64:11 | with him, obey and fulfill his wishes, as well as assist 09Draskh1    64:11 | assist him in pouring on his enemies the venom of wicked 09Draskh1    64:13 | Gagik had been informed of his coming, he anticipated it by 09Draskh1    64:13 | forcing all the people of his land to flee, and taking 09Draskh1    64:14 | refugees at the rear (of his army), the king and his 09Draskh1    64:14 | his army), the king and his brother Gurgen along with the 09Draskh1    64:15 | care led the people of his province to the mountain fastnesses 09Draskh1    64:15 | to the mountain fastnesses of his realm, and sheltered them in 09Draskh1    64:15 | also guarded the refugees with his numerous armed men 09Draskh1    64:17 | the people and not sparing his riches and money, immediately paid 09Draskh1    64:17 | taxes that remained unpaid, at his strict demand, hostages were given 09Draskh1    64:19 | which he had devised (in his mind) for king Gagik, like 09Draskh1    64:19 | of the dark color of his complexion, and having covered the 09Draskh1    64:19 | covered the true color of his soul, he assumed the familiar 09Draskh1    64:20 | that he owed him for his coronation, and gave him leave 09Draskh1    64:22 | kept wicked thoughts out of his mind, and with some hesitation 09Draskh1    64:23 | put unsparingly at Yusuf’s disposal his own possessions, and having gathered 09Draskh1    64:23 | having gathered from all of his relatives, the azats, the ramiks 09Draskh1    64:27 | opportunity, Yusuf took possession of his treasures and riches to the 09Draskh1    64:27 | riches to the satisfaction of his avarice 09Draskh1    65:1 | a number of days, as his wife was there, and he 09Draskh1    65:2 | confronted him. He entertained in his mind foolish dreams, thinking that 09Draskh1    65:2 | covenant with death, to acquire his paternal inheritance, of which he 09Draskh1    65:2 | because it was ruled by his brother Sahak 09Draskh1    65:3 | laconically promised to grant him his inheritance. For he expected and 09Draskh1    65:3 | expected and waited also for his brother Sahak to come to 09Draskh1    65:4 | hell ignoring the wisdom in his heart, and not considering the 09Draskh1    65:5 | one respectively being assured of his safety in that place, could 09Draskh1    65:7 | set aside the concealment of his wicked intention, and getting his 09Draskh1    65:7 | his wicked intention, and getting his hands on the latter, bound 09Draskh1    65:8 | lord of Siwnik’ together with his brother Babgen 09Draskh1    65:19 | by the will of God his mind might be content, and 09Draskh1    65:22 | I would bless God in His sanctuary, and according to my 09Draskh1    66:1 | made the bizarre outbursts of his mind and the bitterness of 09Draskh1    66:1 | mind and the bitterness of his heart’s bile reach the ear 09Draskh1    66:3 | to become the guardian of his doctrine you shall regret your 09Draskh1    66:8 | thoughts. He immediately set as his goal the contest between life 09Draskh1    66:11 | of dedication to God and His foreknowledge of that had brought 09Draskh1    66:16 | the passion of Christ and His faithful.” Having thus defied death 09Draskh1    66:20 | At this the latter moved his angelic lips and with gentle 09Draskh1    66:21 | will come to you in his flesh and blood, which you 09Draskh1    66:21 | condemn the sinful designs against His Body, His Church, which is 09Draskh1    66:21 | sinful designs against His Body, His Church, which is you 09Draskh1    66:28 | the Lord Himself chose as his own inheritance and people, and 09Draskh1    66:28 | and people, and called it His Body and His Part 09Draskh1    66:28 | called it His Body and His Part 09Draskh1    66:29 | lives; to suffer with Christ His passion and imitate His faith 09Draskh1    66:29 | Christ His passion and imitate His faith in God 09Draskh1    66:37 | might not deprive them of His visitation.

Yet, placing his trust in God, he applied 09Draskh1    67:7 | ground. Although a few of his men also perished by the 09Draskh1    67:9 | city of Dvin, boasted of his escape as if he had 09Draskh1    67:11 | such a powerful force at his threshold, he immediately launched eleven 09Draskh1    67:11 | seventy of the azats and his servants embarking on board of 09Draskh1    67:14 | the fortress, he put on his armor and ornaments, and taking 09Draskh1    67:14 | ornaments, and taking with him his spears as well as a 09Draskh1    67:14 | he slashed Bishr’s steed with his sword, so that the latter 09Draskh1    67:14 | on another horse and made his escape 09Draskh1    67:15 | Then, the rest of his fellow warriors also came to 09Draskh1    67:17 | favors on me indicative of his good intentions, as well as 09Draskh1    67:17 | well as the token of his friendship, and generous bounties for 09Draskh1    67:17 | Armenia Gagik in response to his frequent invitations 09Draskh1    67:19 | and unwavering hope. Together with his brother Gurgen he protected me 09Draskh1    67:20 | Also he turned to his customary and cheerful thoughts, and 09Draskh1    67:20 | it, to the best of his ability, that we returned to 09Draskh1    67:22 | in Vayoc’ Dzor, which was his own district, because of his 09Draskh1    67:22 | his own district, because of his twisted mind the ostikan considered 09Draskh1    67:22 | order to enslave and ransack his land 09Draskh1    67:23 | he also agreed to release his brother from incarceration, and set 09Draskh1    67:24 | unfair debt in dahekans from his younger brother whose name was 09Draskh1    67:24 | Smbat, but retained in prison his brother Sahak until he had 09Draskh1    67:24 | release and restore him to his own domain 09Draskh1    68:0 | A Separate Discourse Commemorating His ( Yovhannes’s) Name 09Draskh1    68:2 | trembled, for the Lord sharpened his eyes upon us for our 09Draskh1    68:22 | on the last day of His visitation both you and I 10Tovma1    1:8 | Zrvan, captured Babylon, and built his royal capital there.

Explaining his genealogy in the flesh, the 10Tovma1    1:13 | in the genealogy instead of his wife Mary, as I mentioned 10Tovma1    1:15 | succeeded to the throne of his ancestral kingdom with great power 10Tovma1    1:16 | the murder of Senek’erim by his sons, Adramelēk’ and Sanasar came 10Tovma1    1:26 | the rebellious serpent, who in his deceitful wickedness liberally poured his 10Tovma1    1:26 | his deceitful wickedness liberally poured his bitter advice into the ear 10Tovma1    1:26 | not content, for himself and his offspring, in his enchantment to 10Tovma1    1:26 | himself and his offspring, in his enchantment to abstain from the 10Tovma1    1:26 | to seize for himself in his effrontery even the honour of 10Tovma1    1:26 | the Creator; in which attempt his deceiver the devil came to 10Tovma1    1:27 | As did also his wife, the first to taste 10Tovma1    1:27 | foolish decision, whereby he forgot his composition of dust and intended 10Tovma1    1:27 | dust and intended to turn his back on his awesome God 10Tovma1    1:27 | to turn his back on his awesome God and Creator. He 10Tovma1    1:27 | footsteps he indicated to him his approach, calling out in a 10Tovma1    1:27 | you, Adam?” and tenderly bewailed his fall that perchance with His 10Tovma1    1:27 | his fall that perchance with His help he might be cared 10Tovma1    1:28 | refusing the direct recognition of his sin, ascribed the cause to 10Tovma1    1:28 | ate.” And if Adam (accused) his ilk and helpmate of such 10Tovma1    1:28 | of such things, how could his wife not be blamed for 10Tovma1    1:30 | man to incite elimination of his error through repentance, and thus 10Tovma1    1:31 | woes, leaving to himself and his posterity as inheritance for his 10Tovma1    1:31 | his posterity as inheritance for his sons a life of labour 10Tovma1    1:33 | After this Adam approached his wife Eve, and she conceived 10Tovma1    1:33 | worthy heir.

And Eusebius of Caesarea 10Tovma1    1:66 | refuge with him believed in his words and obeyed with fear 10Tovma1    1:66 | words and obeyed with fear his commands—why should it seem 10Tovma1    1:66 | wrath at Jericho because of his timely benevolence, or the Gabaonites 10Tovma1    1:68 | that out of respect for his affection, Sem took the bones 10Tovma1    1:72 | that Aramazd is deprived of his belt—at Bel’s command?

Only one person retained his own tongue, the patriarch of 10Tovma1    2:15 | of the world Noah, in his saying: “God will increase Japheth 10Tovma1    2:15 | to eastern Asia.

And Christ 10Tovma1    6:49 | satisfied Abgar’s longing by imprinting his desirable visage on a napkin 10Tovma1    6:51 | of the apostle Thaddaeus. After his conversion to Christ he demonstrated 10Tovma1    6:51 | way of life worthy of his faith, pushing the practice of 10Tovma1    6:51 | faith, pushing the practice of his religion almost to the extreme 10Tovma1    6:52 | blessed man Khuran Artsruni, of his comprehensive intelligence and deep wisdom 10Tovma1    6:54 | wife Herod had taken, abandoning his own first wife, daughter of 10Tovma1    6:54 | planned to take revenge for his daughter’s dishonour, yet was unable 10Tovma1    6:55 | himself escaped by flight with his squire Urelian.

He divided his attention between the two sides 10Tovma1    11:18 | Khosrov rebelled against Shapuh. Putting his trust in the Greeks, he 10Tovma1    11:18 | proper ranks. Shapuh, angered at his having done this without his 10Tovma1    11:18 | his having done this without his permission, sent his own son 10Tovma1    11:18 | this without his permission, sent his own son Artashir to Armenia 10Tovma1    11:18 | the throne, he appointed in his stead Valarsh, Khosrov’s brother 10Tovma1    11:19 | Sahak that Khosrov had promulgated his independence, and at the same 10Tovma1    11:19 | for the murder of Mehuzhan his grandfather 10Tovma1    11:20 | son, was much offended at his father’s senseless and irrational character 10Tovma1    11:20 | in behaving so sympathetically towards his kinsman the impious Mehuzhan, who 10Tovma1    11:20 | to Saint Sahak; throwing down his armour in front of him 10Tovma1    11:20 | him, he stripped himself of his military garb and mourned for 10Tovma1    11:21 | lament and bewail unconsolably over his own Artsruni family which, quickly 10Tovma1    11:22 | Ałan continued his lament, shedding torrents of hot 10Tovma1    11:22 | until they too inclined to his thoughts about the future prepared 10Tovma1    11:22 | inconsolable grief, Ałan fell on his face before Saint Sahak and 10Tovma1    11:24 | Accepting his advice, the blessed Ałan waited 10Tovma1    11:24 | Arcadius died, severely punished for his offences against John Chrysostom 10Tovma1    11:25 | He was succeeded by his son, Theodosius the Less, who 10Tovma1    11:27 | he made king over them his own son Shapuh. When he 10Tovma1    11:30 | Shapuh then wielded his mallet in the direction of 10Tovma1    11:31 | When Shapuh heard of his father’s illness, he hastened to 10Tovma1    11:31 | illness, he hastened to Persia. His father died, and on the 10Tovma1    11:31 | put to the sword by his own people. And because Hamazasp 10Tovma1    11:32 | of Armenia, to court. Taking his grandsons Hmayeak and Hamazaspean, he 10Tovma1    11:36 | sun without distinction he worked his desires, even extending to bestiality 10Tovma1    11:36 | Armenian nobles were nauseated at his impure conduct and decided that 10Tovma1    11:41 | archiepiscopal throne and Artashir from his royal status.

Therefore, Vardan was 10Tovma1    11:52 | the marzpan (Mshkan) (would disturb) his tranquil existence, and so came 10Tovma1    11:54 | the world-renowned orator, wrote his book on the History of 10Tovma2    1:1 | Peroz) fulfilled the request of his stupid vainglorious desire. Then he 10Tovma2    1:4 | on Armenia), and roaring in his soul with ferocious anger over 10Tovma2    1:6 | lion or lion cub; drawing his one-edged (sword) with force 10Tovma2    1:7 | having surrounded the marzpan and his son Shiroy, captured them and 10Tovma2    1:7 | had (the marzpan) consumed by his god in the blazing fire 10Tovma2    1:11 | Kushans, and Yazkert ruled in his stead 10Tovma2    1:15 | be overcome, Saint Vardan, spurring his horse, turned the Persian champions 10Tovma2    1:15 | and strengthened the troops of his own division. Then Vahan Artsruni 10Tovma2    1:16 | Raising his eyes, Saint Vardan saw the 10Tovma2    2:5 | Saint Vardan, and he fulfilled his request 10Tovma2    2:7 | ultimatum, (Bartsuma) took vengeance in his resentful rage. He expunged from 10Tovma2    2:9 | bishops at Chalcedon, and in his reign Saint Vardan and Vahan 10Tovma2    2:10 | saintly Alan, taking Tachat and his brother Goter went to the 10Tovma2    2:18 | the ranks of the saints. His bones were laid to rest 10Tovma2    2:23 | and made preparations; mounting each his own horse they went out 10Tovma2    3:1 | of Sasan was murdered by his own trusted (nobles), and his 10Tovma2    3:1 | his own trusted (nobles), and his son Khosrov, still very young 10Tovma2    3:2 | to the Greek emperor Maurice; his uncles Vndoy and Vstam took 10Tovma2    3:5 | the emperor Maurice sent him his nephew Philipikos; he had him 10Tovma2    3:9 | they did not respond to his proposals 10Tovma2    3:14 | So Khosrov was established on his royal throne, and he carried 10Tovma2    3:14 | throne, and he carried out his promises to the emperor 10Tovma2    3:17 | blood. Gathering the host of his army, he wrought enormous and 10Tovma2    3:17 | plotted against him and seized his throne 10Tovma2    3:18 | the blood of Maurice from his enemy, so may it please 10Tovma2    3:21 | Then Khoṙeam Ṙazmayuzan gathered his troops, camped around Jerusalem and 10Tovma2    3:25 | city and reestablish everyone in his own position.

His wife, seeing that Mahmet was 10Tovma2    4:9 | and drove him out of his senses, as is now appropriate 10Tovma2    4:10 | Such things also occurred in his ( Mahmet’s) time. For when his 10Tovma2    4:10 | his (Mahmet’s) time. For when his travelling companions asked why he 10Tovma2    4:10 | asked why he had lost his wits, he note: “Some fearsome 10Tovma2    4:10 | repeated these same words to his uncle called Apljehr 10Tovma2    4:11 | self.” Grieved, he went to his own house, for he was 10Tovma2    4:11 | allowed him to suppose that his loss of reason was caused 10Tovma2    4:12 | when he was depressed from his uncle’s threats, Ali son of 10Tovma2    4:14 | unity and to proclaim that his words were true.

Hiding the arrows 10Tovma3    2:14 | infection. Hiding the arrows of his quiver with a sponge, he 10Tovma3    2:14 | with a sponge, he directed his destructive power against the saint 10Tovma3    2:19 | So, opening his mouth with the word of 10Tovma3    2:21 | However, when the tyrant saw his inflexible intention, his unhesitating faith 10Tovma3    2:21 | tyrant saw his inflexible intention, his unhesitating faith, his fearless and 10Tovma3    2:21 | inflexible intention, his unhesitating faith, his fearless and haughty responses, and 10Tovma3    2:22 | executioners to the arena where his earthly contest would come to 10Tovma3    2:22 | righteousness (and what follows).” Raising his hands to heaven, he placed 10Tovma3    2:22 | hands to heaven, he placed his neck before the executioners 10Tovma3    2:23 | blessed one, and cut off his head.

Only let Ashot and his relatives not escape my clutches 10Tovma3    2:56 | the stronghold in accordance with his orders. So he told them 10Tovma3    2:58 | in person from him what his pleasure is; and let their 10Tovma3    2:59 | and were disobeying and neglecting his orders, he responded: “What is 10Tovma3    2:62 | them; let Satan stand on his right hand,’ and what 10Tovma3    2:63 | returns evil for good, from his house evil will not be 10Tovma3    2:69 | be sent back each to his own place, and that the 10Tovma3    2:71 | realised their confirmed treachery. Raising his eyes to God he prayed 10Tovma3    2:71 | thanks, and turned sorrowfully to his family.

His name is written in the 10Tovma3    4:19 | us he is known for his saying: “I am a Christian 10Tovma3    4:22 | with him. He had sent his mother, the princess of Vaspurakan 10Tovma3    4:22 | so that henceforth he and his land might have peace: he 10Tovma3    4:22 | peace: he would deliver into his hands the principality of Vaspurakan 10Tovma3    4:22 | of Vaspurakan in exchange for his brother, while he and all 10Tovma3    4:22 | brother, while he and all his would render submission to the 10Tovma3    4:26 | the land where Gurgēn and his army were, and camped on 10Tovma3    4:28 | and he would rule in his brother’s stead over his entire 10Tovma3    4:28 | in his brother’s stead over his entire territory 10Tovma3    4:31 | Then he entrusted his forces to Musheł (son of 10Tovma3    4:31 | messengers “we shall seize him, his troops will be discouraged, and 10Tovma3    4:37 | bread. Only Lord Apumkdēm and his entourage kept watch by night 10Tovma3    4:38 | line, and prepare for battle. His groom brought him his best 10Tovma3    4:38 | battle. His groom brought him his best horse; mounting, he rushed 10Tovma3    4:38 | On coming near he uncovered his sword, helmet, and cuirass which 10Tovma3    4:38 | perhaps at the sound of his voice, the shining of his 10Tovma3    4:38 | his voice, the shining of his armour, the gleaming of his 10Tovma3    4:38 | his armour, the gleaming of his sword, the neighing of his 10Tovma3    4:38 | his sword, the neighing of his valiant steed, and his rapid 10Tovma3    4:38 | of his valiant steed, and his rapid gallop, he might be 10Tovma3    4:39 | happened that he (Gurgēn) raised his eyes, saw the rider bearing 10Tovma3    4:39 | has a naked sword in his hand and pursues us all 10Tovma3    4:39 | all by himself.” He turned his horse’s bridle towards him (Apumkdēm 10Tovma3    4:41 | taking courage, ran each to his arms; mounting their elite horses 10Tovma3    4:42 | like a brave shepherd for his sheep 10Tovma3    4:43 | But they did not heed his request. Although he promised to 10Tovma3    4:44 | to battle, then Gurgēn ordered his own force to prepare, to 10Tovma3    4:44 | the Muslims. He himself raised his hands to heaven, and praying 10Tovma3    4:56 | crushes battles; the Lord is his name 10Tovma3    4:58 | massacre and defeat, each striking his opponent to the ground and 10Tovma3    4:64 | like the morning star. In his right hand he had a 10Tovma3    4:64 | had a sword and in his left a censer full of 10Tovma3    5:4 | man was to return to his own land and repossess his 10Tovma3    5:4 | his own land and repossess his inheritance, to dwell in peace 10Tovma3    5:4 | was to be expelled from his own dwelling to a foreign 10Tovma3    5:8 | to him the authority of his native principality, (Gurgēn) followed the 10Tovma3    5:9 | placed a princely crown on his head and royal garments on 10Tovma3    5:9 | head and royal garments on his person, girded him with a 10Tovma3    5:10 | them in the place of his brother Ashot 10Tovma3    5:12 | deliver to us Ashot and his brothers 10Tovma3    5:14 | us in bonds Gurgēn and his family and those nobles of 10Tovma3    5:16 | Then they put his feet into iron fetters, and 10Tovma3    5:18 | separate. Each went to occupy his fortified place, and they made 10Tovma3    5:19 | against the shepherd and against his companion. I shall strike the 10Tovma3    5:25 | which he had prepared as his winter quarters until the springtime 10Tovma3    6:5 | leisure, while the prince and his entourage with their families and 10Tovma3    6:5 | that the king had taken his seat in the tribunal. Heralds 10Tovma3    6:7 | Despite all his powerful might the king had 10Tovma3    6:7 | among all the nations in his entire empire, the kings and 10Tovma3    6:7 | and royal princes subjected to his authority; he had exerted himself 10Tovma3    6:8 | treachery of the generals of his empire 10Tovma3    6:11 | of the fetid bile of his poisonous and evil disposition. Excited 10Tovma3    6:11 | he began to pour out his mortal venom on the captives 10Tovma3    6:12 | With deceitful fraud he disguised his meaning, saying: “Who are you 10Tovma3    6:14 | have disregarded the rules of his commandments, God has delivered us 10Tovma3    6:19 | and our legislator Mahumaf; receive ( his) faith and divinely bestowed religion 10Tovma3    6:23 | apart from the gospel and his apostles 10Tovma3    6:28 | with anger; the colour of his face turned livid; he became 10Tovma3    6:31 | of the devil. For at his bellowing sparks were struck, and 10Tovma3    6:31 | sparks were struck, and “through his nostrils came forth the smoke 10Tovma3    6:34 | of Israel. The memory of his going astray, whereby he seduced 10Tovma3    6:35 | had gone to Samarra of his own will before their arrest 10Tovma3    6:35 | had taken root with all his hosts; through all his snares 10Tovma3    6:35 | all his hosts; through all his snares he had cunningly bound 10Tovma3    6:35 | bound with an indissoluble belt his thrice wretched soul. Satan had 10Tovma3    6:37 | I expatiate too long on his shameful error—wicked, selfish, unrepentant 10Tovma3    6:38 | So let his memory not be with those 10Tovma3    6:38 | tyrant. But he, both in his going and his returning, kept 10Tovma3    6:38 | both in his going and his returning, kept to the same 10Tovma3    6:39 | away from God and averted his face from the true confession 10Tovma3    6:39 | faces.” And in accordance with his perverse depravity he inherited the 10Tovma3    6:39 | he inherited the consequences of his perversity 10Tovma3    6:40 | storm he was shipwrecked; in his self-willed obsession he went 10Tovma3    6:40 | the love of power, losing his soul to irredeemable perdition. His 10Tovma3    6:40 | his soul to irredeemable perdition. His life was without faith and 10Tovma3    6:40 | life was without faith and his death without hope 10Tovma3    6:43 | take on the yoke of his homonym John the Baptist, who 10Tovma3    6:44 | Grigor Artsruni not to disregard his homonym Saint Gregory and to 10Tovma3    6:46 | from the faith. However, since his expectation was not realised but 10Tovma3    6:46 | he grew stubborn and ordered his servants to bind them with 10Tovma3    6:56 | A young child shall plunge his hands into a hole of 10Tovma3    6:57 | presence. Christ did not disregard his pleas, but permitted him to 10Tovma3    6:59 | So he raised his hands to heaven, saying: “Remember 10Tovma3    7:0 | Bagratuni, which was added to his apostasy from Christ for the 10Tovma3    7:1 | At the time of his apostasy Bagarat said that apostasy 10Tovma3    7:3 | of no account, provided that his heart kept true the faith 10Tovma3    7:12 | of our lips that confess his name 10Tovma3    7:19 | and for the duplicity of his heart how was he punished 10Tovma3    7:21 | believer to be soiled by his lips 10Tovma3    8:4 | provides for the need of his hunger until the spring 10Tovma3    8:9 | he had carried out all his cruel intentions against the land 10Tovma3    8:9 | they could winter each in his own home, having commanded them 10Tovma3    8:11 | when he had fulfilled all his wicked desires against the holy 10Tovma3    8:11 | in the false presumption of his mind 10Tovma3    8:13 | slightest were they deflected to his arguments; nor did they agree 10Tovma3    8:14 | And: “Whoever wishes to save his soul will lose it”; and 10Tovma3    8:14 | lose it”; and: “Who lost his life for my sake will 10Tovma3    8:14 | the whole world and lose his soul?” Or: “What ransom will 10Tovma3    8:14 | will a man give for his soul 10Tovma3    8:15 | or crazy old man in his dotage who cannot say what 10Tovma3    8:16 | When the tyrant realised that his plans against the saints had 10Tovma3    8:16 | will accomplish nothing”—then in his great presumption and fierce wrath 10Tovma3    8:16 | immense irritation and unquenchable fury his mind became foolish like a 10Tovma3    8:20 | them worthy to die for his name; in unison they raised 10Tovma3    8:23 | sword. Taking the sword from his hand he looked this way 10Tovma3    8:23 | master.” Then the executioner smote his neck and cut off his 10Tovma3    8:23 | his neck and cut off his head 10Tovma3    8:24 | saints and shamed Satan with his associates 10Tovma3    9:1 | flowering meadows, and everyone in his own way made haste to 10Tovma3    9:1 | one to the object of his labours 10Tovma3    9:2 | the general (Bugha) was forming his own destructive and ruinous plans 10Tovma3    9:2 | or pause, he foamed in his plots like the sea which 10Tovma3    9:2 | had done to Ashot and his land; he recalled his valiant 10Tovma3    9:2 | and his land; he recalled his valiant courage; and since he 10Tovma3    9:3 | wild pig, foaming, and grinding his teeth. To those nearby he 10Tovma3    9:4 | of the East fled from his presence; they retired and occupied 10Tovma3    9:5 | it was no use disregarding his ( Bugha’s) orders, he hastened to 10Tovma3    9:5 | by him, he (Smbat) and his people with their possessions lived 10Tovma3    9:6 | He had previously sent Ashot his son to meet (Bugha) as 10Tovma3    9:6 | the sparapet had acted as his guide in the warfare and 10Tovma3    9:6 | in the warfare and on his departure from and entrance into 10Tovma3    9:9 | the rapid spring currents allowed his army to advance and besiege 10Tovma3    9:9 | himself wore armour, as did his horse; so some supposed that 10Tovma3    9:10 | an arrow through the opening.

Becoming deranged he lost 10Tovma3    9:12 | hand. Becoming deranged he lost his means of escape, though he 10Tovma3    9:12 | who was more astonished at his reckless coming to him than 10Tovma3    9:12 | coming to him than at his rebelling against him 10Tovma3    9:13 | she became the cause of his death rather than of his 10Tovma3    9:13 | his death rather than of his salvation 10Tovma3    9:14 | the executioners to cut off his head. His wife raised a 10Tovma3    9:14 | to cut off his head. His wife raised a shriek, saying 10Tovma3    9:14 | to no avail. Bugha had his head cut off and taken 10Tovma3    9:15 | But Bugha kept her as his wife 10Tovma3    9:16 | to the caliph to be his wife. When the woman arrived 10Tovma3    10:1 | the acts that it was his inclination to perform, he began 10Tovma3    10:3 | a leader, and each has his own customs as he pleases 10Tovma3    10:5 | Now when Bugha with his numerous army arrived close to 10Tovma3    10:6 | in the least degree to his proposals or condescend to respond 10Tovma3    10:6 | to respond. They sent back his messengers in disgrace, having given 10Tovma3    10:8 | Then the general Bugha ordered his troops to attack them in 10Tovma3    10:12 | to attack him, he ordered his whole country to occupy the 10Tovma3    10:13 | glorious thing for himself and his clan, and he will receive 10Tovma3    10:14 | prince of Albania set before his troops 10Tovma3    10:15 | Bugha, taking the mass of his army, descended to the plain 10Tovma3    10:16 | and plotted to spew out his evil poison on the prince 10Tovma3    10:16 | latter paid no heed to his words because he was well 10Tovma3    10:16 | he was well aware of his deceitful habits 10Tovma3    10:27 | stood seized with astonishment. All his plans had been destroyed and 10Tovma3    10:28 | much booty, and returned to his position and encampment 10Tovma3    10:29 | Thenceforth (Bugha) dared not abandon his own camp without trepidation. Part 10Tovma3    10:29 | camp without trepidation. Part of his army he put under the 10Tovma3    10:29 | himself with the majority of his troops encamped to the east 10Tovma3    10:34 | he was greatly disturbed in his mind and driven frantic in 10Tovma3    10:34 | mind and driven frantic in his search for a solution. He 10Tovma3    10:34 | He shut himself up in his tent and took no respite 10Tovma3    10:35 | Sleep fled from his eyes. For ten days no 10Tovma3    10:35 | out, for he had entered his chamber with shame-filled visage 10Tovma3    10:36 | had come to a close, his commander requested (permission) to enter 10Tovma3    10:36 | commander requested (permission) to enter his presence; taking him by the 10Tovma3    10:38 | the veil of gloom from his heart 10Tovma3    10:44 | He raised his mind to the future coming 10Tovma3    10:44 | that moment he set down his spiritual vision as a hymn 10Tovma3    10:45 | hill or rock of adamant; his troops formed a solid mass 10Tovma3    10:46 | anyone stepping in front of his comrade. While the former thought 10Tovma3    10:49 | court, I shall not disobey his command 10Tovma3    10:54 | caliph’s summons and not disobey his wishes. The latter had written 10Tovma3    10:58 | valiant champion Apumusē went on his way with fearless courage, strengthened 10Tovma3    10:58 | with fearless courage, strengthened in his mind and determination in accordance 10Tovma3    10:58 | and determination in accordance with his steadfast valour 10Tovma3    11:4 | stirred up against him, and his calumniators cried with one voice 10Tovma3    11:6 | and with the authority of his position: “Abandon the faith of 10Tovma3    11:7 | to death in return for his body, to mingle my torments 10Tovma3    11:7 | to mingle my torments with his torments, that I should be 10Tovma3    11:9 | and himself. Then he ordered his two hands and his two 10Tovma3    11:9 | ordered his two hands and his two feet to be cut 10Tovma3    11:10 | the gibbet, they cut off his head with a sword and 10Tovma3    11:10 | again in the spot of his martyrdom, in Goroz near the 10Tovma3    11:12 | the tyrant’s proposals or heed his words that reeked of gall 10Tovma3    11:20 | the sword. The executioner took his sword, struck the blessed one 10Tovma3    11:20 | blessed one, and cut off his head. Immediately he surrendered his 10Tovma3    11:20 | his head. Immediately he surrendered his soul into God’s hands 10Tovma3    11:22 | attack, from the beginning of his invasion into Armenia, had opposed 10Tovma3    11:23 | of Yovsēp’ in revenge for his second heroic exploit when he 10Tovma3    11:23 | him about the revolt and his involvement in harm to royal 10Tovma3    11:27 | I put your general and his troops to the sword, his 10Tovma3    11:27 | his troops to the sword, his booty I distributed, and on 10Tovma3    11:30 | place of execution. He raised his hands to heaven in prayer 10Tovma3    11:30 | to overcome heroically, then offered his neck to the executioner who 10Tovma3    11:30 | the executioner who cut off his head. So the blessed Yovnan 10Tovma3    11:31 | When Bugha had carried out his plans against Armenia—the removal 10Tovma3    11:31 | no one continued to resist his control.

So one day 10Tovma3    20:17 | magnificent homage, the prince ordered his brother Abas, a mighty man 10Tovma3    20:17 | the arms and equipment of his troops, as was usual for 10Tovma3    20:17 | horses, in order to thwart his evil plans 10Tovma3    20:18 | callers were intending to enter his presence and he was expecting 10Tovma3    20:18 | then the great sparapet surrounded his tent with his armed troops 10Tovma3    20:18 | sparapet surrounded his tent with his armed troops bearing shields and 10Tovma3    20:19 | and unable to lift up his gaze, he remained abashed; he 10Tovma3    20:19 | he remained abashed; he lost his strength and assumed that his 10Tovma3    20:19 | his strength and assumed that his last hour had come 10Tovma3    20:20 | The sparapet took his hand and led him out 10Tovma3    20:21 | They sent off his army separately through the region 10Tovma3    20:22 | Ahmat’ was escorted on his passage through the land of 10Tovma3    20:23 | no means of escape from his dangerous prison in any quarter 10Tovma3    20:24 | him from the misery of his prison. But even thus he 10Tovma3    20:24 | obtain for him deliverance from his peril 10Tovma3    20:27 | I have verified this from his trusted counsellors. So do not 10Tovma3    20:27 | for a way to render his plans void 10Tovma3    20:28 | being at the time of his independence aged fifteen years; for 10Tovma3    20:28 | and the treasures and casting his eyes on the desire for 10Tovma3    20:28 | and aid—so that as his advice proposed, so indeed would 10Tovma3    20:29 | out the fickle intentions of his plan. He entered the fortress 10Tovma3    20:32 | and everyone began to enter his own room for sleep, suddenly 10Tovma3    20:36 | offering him the reverence due his white hairs and the dignity 10Tovma3    20:36 | hairs and the dignity of his princely station and such-like 10Tovma3    20:36 | and they extricated him from his captivity, leaving as hostages Gagik 10Tovma3    20:38 | castle of Nkan and took his fortress from him, appointing his 10Tovma3    20:38 | his fortress from him, appointing his own trusted retainers to guard 10Tovma3    20:38 | He also took from him his home and lands, putting his 10Tovma3    20:38 | his home and lands, putting his own officials in charge of 10Tovma3    20:39 | he thought he was seeing his last hour upon him.
