Our parish youth choir, St.Romanos Melodos Choir, is going to chant a beautiful hymn of Theothokos, Axion Estin, in Japanese.
This hymn will be chanted before the Holy Matrimony of one of our Japanese parishioner.
We received the music score of AXION ESTIN (in Japanese: Tsuneni saiwai ni shite ) from The Holy Theophany Parish in Nagoya by the help of Mrs. Maria Matsushima, presvitera the Holy Theophany parish Nagoya.
常に福いを満ち、全くいさぎようして、
Tsune ni saiwai o michi, mattaku isagiyou shite,
神を生みし母や、 爾は実に誉められるべし。
kami o umishi haha ya, nanji wa jitsu ni homeraru beshi.
へルビムの上にとおとまれ、
Herubim no ue ni tootomare,
光栄 たぐいなくセラフィムにまさり、
kooei taguinaku Serafim ni masari,
kooei taguinaku Serafim ni masari,
みさおを 破らずして、神言葉を生めり、
Misao o yaburazu shite, Kamikotoba o umeri,
神の実の母なるもって、爾を崇めほむ
Kamino jitsu no haha naru o motte, nanji o agamehomu.
Kamino jitsu no haha naru o motte, nanji o agamehomu.
In English:
It is truly meet and right to bless you, O Theotokos,
Ever-blessed and most-pure mother of our God.
More honourable than the Cherubim,
And beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim,
Who without corruption gave birth to God the Word,
True Theotokos: we magnify you
In Greek:
Αξιον εστιν ως αληθως μακαριζειν Σε την θεοτοκον,
Axion estin os alithos makarizin se tin theotokon,
την αειμακαριστον και παναμωμητον και μητερα του θεου ημον.
tin aimakariston ki panamomiton ki metera tou theou imon.
Την τιμιωτεραν των Χερουβιμ και ενδοξοτεραν α συγκροτος των Σεραφιμ.
Tin timioteran ton heruvim ki endhoxoteran asikritos ton serafim.
Την αδιαφθορως θεον Λογον τεκοθσαν, την οντως θεοτοκον Σε μεγαλυνομεν.
Tin adhiafthoros theon logon tekoussan tin ontos theotokon se megalinomen.
In Indonesian:
“Sungguh patut dan benar memberkatimu ya sang Theotokos,
yang selalu terberkati dan sangat termurni seta bunda dari Allah kita,
Lebih terhormat dari Kerubim, tak terbanding lebih mulianya dari para Serafim
Dan tanpa cacat cela melahirkan Allah Sang Sabda,
sungguh kau sang Theotokos, engkau kujunjung tinggi.”
