the divine grace, so that

we

may sail successfully and unerringly

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 2:1

lives of men of perfection.

We

on our part do not

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 2:1

own thoughts; but through examples

we

simply wish to prove the

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 2:39

that encouraged by each other,

we

may succeed in the accomplishment

We

have also the gracious canonic

And thus

we

have from them both permission

Therefore, that which

we

have promised shall hence forth

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 3:1

of the person to whom

we

referred at the beginning of

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 3:1

of our account, whose story

we

have been eager to write

he descended from Mount Sinai.

We

do not say that he

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 9:7

consider us bold or what

we

have said. We may be

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 9:7

or what we have said.

We

may be subject to censure

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 9:8

we

feel justified in that, there

Yet when

we

hear that “Jesus began to

we

have mentioned before, as well

we

have mentioned at the beginning

we

have written. We did not

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 28:1

reward as we have written.

We

did not record them by

Կորիւն/Koryun 1- 28:1

old tales; on the contrary,

we

witnessed their countenances, as assistants

We

have done this for my

resort to false eloquence, but

we

wrote this concise work by

could not record in detail

We

observed also the zeal of

we

ask from you. Behold many

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 15:28

of your name. For although

we

are weak and unworthy, yet

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 15:29

hope and chastity, that thereby

we

may enter the allotted number

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 15:29

of your just ones [cf. Col. 1.12], that

we

may receive the rewards of

ways they torment us. Will

we

really fear the terrible death

Heaven forbid that

we

we await with longing until

we

have to drink together

may dwell in God’s eternal

we

desired his power. May the

we

heard today. For his almighty

come and rescue us [cf. Ps. 79.3-4]; and

we

shall invoke the name of

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 17:21

his face to us and

we

shall live [cf. Ps. 79.20]. For he is

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 17:21

savior, and for his sake

we

shall endure forever

we

had in you, and you

But what more could

we

offer you in return save

know, and we invoke your

Truly, Lord,

we

rejoiced and were glad at

We

were glad for these days

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 17:47

for these months in which

we

have seen torments

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 18:8

These said as follows: “

We

have loved you, Lord, that

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 18:8

inclined your benign ear and

we

invoked you

Ագաթանգեղոս/Agatangeghos 1- 18:9

of these iniquities [cf. Deut. 32.10-11; 16.8-9; Ps. 60.5]. And behold

we

die for your glorious name

we

have been considered as a

we

now serve among your words

We

have been made the doctor

we

any hope of forgiveness from

But at the very beginning

of chronicles, in this way

we

composed our work, setting everything

We

an immortal body, so that

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:11

us so many benefits, while

we

have not even thanked him

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:11

to starve to death when

we

have been persecuted in the

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:12

No, it is not so,

we

will ask with faith, and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:12

given to us. Well, are

we

asking for a sign

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:13

this He will prepare what

we

need

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:14

We

are not of those about

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:15

What

we

need cannot be obtained without

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 6:25

a little virtue, only that

we

love him, for which he

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 8:3

it does not seem that

we

won through violence and deception

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 8:32

let him out of prison,

we

will burn the whole city

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:10

We

hurried to gather here in

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:11

have turned into a wasteland;

we

need to curb Valent, who

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:14

come at the same hour,

we

will also come

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:24

They answered: “As

we

left (yesterday) from you, so

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:24

left (yesterday) from you, so

we

immediately killed the enemy of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 10:24

and by this very hour

we

have returned to you

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 11:11

and upon you, the bearers.

We

too have many rocks with

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 12:15

had existed and were lost,

we

would search for them wherever

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 13:19

sins which you have committed,

we

will command all the land

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 13:19

and supplicate for you and

we

shall enter into atonement with

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 14:14

the holy places, he continued: “

We

shall demolish these places, for

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:31

vardapet of love, so that

we

spare each other, looking to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 15:31

in piety, and so that

we

dare not harm each other

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 20:5

you are on our side,

we

shall triumph

For,” he said, “

we,

the entire Aryan forces would

Now what fitting reward can

we

give him

They all replied together: “

We

heard that long ago, but

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 24:25

with their pagan faith note: “

We

are taking the bones of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 51:2

We

shall do this, because we

We shall do this, because

we

are unable to fight further

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 51:5

as he feels the need;

we

are leaving him and do

we

cannot heed such words

Arshak of Armenia, saying: “If

we

are in agreement with each

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 53:1

with each other, come so

we

may see each other, and

priest, Mari, said to me:

we

have not triumphed for one

Excuse us for today. Tomorrow

we

shall respond to you

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:15

said to him: “Do what

we

tell you to do. Keep

again come to occupy our

we

acted according to his word

Բուզանդ/Buzand 4- 54:42

accepted his counsel, be aware,

we

could have taught you a

fell into the abyss

will bind them and take

we

face our king, or what

reach our emperor, we would

if we reach our emperor,

would be criminally responsible before

But king, you do as

we

tell you. Take the archbishop

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:41

according to our deeds, then

we

cannot resist his will and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:44

we

have sinned and acted lawlessly

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 4:44

and have sinned in everything,

have not listened to your

have not kept them and

routed them a bit, they

have not done any good

have spread out on us,

we

dare to ask you, a

The princes and naxarars spoke: “

We

know now that our country

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 30:5

forsaken and abandoned us, and

we

will be unable to raise

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 32:3

disturbance, give them up. Otherwise,

we

will wage great warfare

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:1

the princes asked: “What shall

we

do, how shall we act

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:1

shall we do, how shall

we

act? Should we seek to

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:1

how shall we act? Should

we

seek to avenge our king

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:2

they confirmed in discussion that: “

We

cannot enter the service of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:2

the Byzantine emperor, nor can

we

make enemies of both of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 33:2

of both of them. But

we

cannot survive without the aid

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 37:16

loyally done for you Arsacids.

We

gave our lives, living and

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 37:16

battle for king Arshak, and

we

have always labored and worked

We

are not your servants but

servants but your peers, and

we

are above you. For our

among brothers, to avoid bloodshed,

we

left that land and to

land and to find rest

we

stopped here in Armenia

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 37:20

first Arsacid kings knew who

we

were and where we came

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 37:20

who we were and where

we

came from. But you, since

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 43:31

during peace between us that

we

were in one place together

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 43:32

at these identical emblems. Perhaps

we

can discover the sorcerer of

Բուզանդ/Buzand 5- 43:34

be killed because of you?

We

have spotted you and today

Բուզանդ/Buzand 6- 1:8

is in our midst. First,

we

divide it into two, under

Բուզանդ/Buzand 6- 1:8

under two Arsacid kings whom

we

installed. Later through them we

Բուզանդ/Buzand 6- 1:8

we installed. Later through them

we

shall try to destroy and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 1- 2:27

for you. Be well, and

we

ourselves are well by the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 1- 2:28

Without causing you any trouble

we

marched into the land of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 1- 2:28

warfare by our loving benevolence

we

subjected the whole land to

immediately accomplish this command which

we

impose

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 1- 2:30

We

have decided in our infallible

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 1:8

than most others—as indeed

we

see not only in ordinary

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 1:13

we

are not permitted to censure

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 1:13

permitted to censure princes, yet

we

cannot praise the man who

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 2:37

impious ministers: “With what shall

we

repay the gods for this

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 2:44

are witnesses to us that

we

were never tardy in the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 2:44

the king’s service, nor did

we

ever mingle cowardice with our

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 3:53

many other ignominious torments, which

we

did not consider suitable to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 4:99

your lord has, especially because

we

have to give account for

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 5:105

is even worse than what

we

have just written, they preach

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 6:130

From our ancestors

we

have retained the divinely-instituted

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 6:130

that in its extended peace

we

too may complete our lives

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 6:143

wickedness, as indeed happened; but

we

have as judge the creative

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 6:144

peace and salvation, so that

we

might know the one God

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 6:146

good spirits, whom you and

we

call angels. If they wish

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 8:177

claim to be actually real—

we

no longer believe in fables

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 8:183

so study divine Scripture that

we

may escape those torments, scorn

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 8:197

we

acknowledge God in this fashion

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 8:197

fashion, and in the same

we

believe without doubting

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:201

But because

we

were unable to see the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:201

to our humanity so that

we

might attain his divinity

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:203

and not a duality. Consequently,

we

acknowledge the divinity as one

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:211

us with this same faith,

we

shall not exchange you for

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:211

earth, nor in heaven shall

we

exchange for another god Jesus

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:212

you ask further questions, behold

we

have given our entire bodies

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:214

We

are no better than our

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:215

we

were immortal and it was

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:215

order that by his death

we

might be saved from eternal

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:216

not spare his own immortality,

we—

since we become mortal by

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:216

his own immortality, we—since

we

become mortal by our own

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:216

us with his own immortality;

we

shall die as mortals so

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 9:217

not with a man that

we

may be deceived like children

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 10:251

We

beg you, noble sovereign, give

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 10:251

and listen kindly to what

we

have to say

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 11:252

We

remind you of the time

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 11:252

religion as that by which

we

still live today. Our fathers

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 11:253

accession to your ancestral throne

we

have performed the same service

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 11:256

you also imposed taxes. And

we,

in our loyalty to your

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 11:266

to treat us, do so.

We

are all ready for every

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:277

and said in their hearts: “

We

have all offered our brothers

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:283

as your eyes see what

we

have not yet done—now

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 12:283

yet done—now before you

we

pour out our requests

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 2- 13:312

Everyone shall fulfill all that

we

have said for a period

ALTHOUGH

we

are unable to mention all

contingent in the army, yet

we

do not wish to remain

hide their cruel afflictions. But

we

shall give a summary so

give a summary so that

we

may join our voices to

of refuge; when danger approached,

we

went to you for safety

We

had no idea of the

their wealth, but this much

we

truly understood—that the whole

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:66

This

we

know by report. But what

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 3:68

If

we

had not hastened to take

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:78

are true. What at first,

we

did not understand, you saw

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:78

understand, you saw, and now

we

regret it greatly

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:83

winter quarters in Armenia. When

we

have them to hand there

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:84

to my suggestion. For if

we

use force against this country

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:84

it will be destroyed, and

we

too shall not escape damage

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 4:99

raised their voices and note: “

We

beg you all by this

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 5:101

of witness from men; if

we

have intentionally strayed from you

But if

we

stand firm in the covenant

truth into our hands that

we

may deal with them according

people cried out in thanks: “

We

are ready for persecution and

our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby

we

were reborn to the one

Jesus. In the same fashion

we

wish to renew ourselves by

we

recognize the Holy Gospel as

do not do this willingly,

we

have a command to build

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:147

valor, some of their commands

we

have opposed and many more

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 6:147

have opposed and many more

we

are ready to continue opposing

have chosen death in piety

we

will have gained a second

are ready to kill and

for acquiring transitory grandeur do

we

make this prayer, but in

are ready to die for

we

slaughter them, we shall be

happens that we slaughter them,

we

shall be avengers of the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:217

prayers might beg God that “

we

might conclude our enterprise as

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 9:217

might conclude our enterprise as

we

have begun it

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:236

While

we

were on a distant campaign

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 10:236

on a distant campaign, before

we

had brought any military operation

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:251

purchased, that anyone has seized,

we

have ordered to be returned

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:259

But should

we

believe his inconsistent order? What

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:259

inconsistent order? What benevolence have

we

seen directed to all the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:262

we

live by God’s power and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:262

of the power. The same

we

believe to be the true

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:262

be the true God, and

we

wait for him to come

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:263

We

shall not be deceived like

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:263

tricked like the witless; rather,

we

are ready for every test

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:264

We

beseech God and ceaselessly beg

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:264

beg his great mercy that

we

may complete what we have

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:264

that we may complete what

we

have begun with valor and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:266

inhabitants bear us witness that

we

have not failed in our

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:267

Should

we

now trust his unworthy mouth

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:268

We

are unable today suddenly to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:270

We

do not believe him, nor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 3- 11:270

not believe him, nor shall

we

accept his false command

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 4- 1:1

many struck by us, for

we

were still united and agreed

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:4

So, did

we

observe with our own eyes

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:14

participated in many battles. Sometimes

we

have valiantly beaten the enemy

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:14

defeated us. More often, though,

we

have been the victors than

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:15

were for earthly distinction, as

we

fought at the command of

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:17

So now

we

have many wounds and scars

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:17

have been performed for which

we

received great rewards

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:19

Now if

we

accomplished these deeds of valor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:19

commander, how much more will

we

do for our immortal king

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:20

a very advanced age, yet

we

would still have to leave

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:20

the living God, from whom

we

shall be separated no more

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:22

puts victory in our grasp,

we

shall destroy their power so

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:22

with joyful hearts—provided only

we

do not mingle cowardice with

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:23

how in our secret thoughts

we

remained united with him

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:24

You yourselves well know how

we

sought means of comforting our

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:24

in great tribulation, so that

we

might struggle together against the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:25

And since

we

were unable to help them

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 1:25

the sake of human love

we

exchange God for men

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:26

or three battles so that

we

acquired the repute of valor

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:29

He who supposed that

we

put on Christianity like a

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:31

Although in the body

we

are on earth, yet by

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:31

on earth, yet by faith

we

are established in heaven where

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:34

sake of the divine religion

we

have gained glory for ourselves

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:34

deeds—how much more would

we

gain if we were to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:34

more would we gain if

we

were to die for the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:36

injunction of this saying. As

we

appeared to men most impious

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:36

impious, in double measure shall

we

appear the most righteous to

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:37

day when men heard that

we

were implicated in an impious

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:42

Then

we

were afflicted in soul and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:42

like grieving mourners. But today

we

are joyful, happy, and yet

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:42

both respects at once, for

we

see the benevolent Lord with

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 2:43

sign of doubt. Long ago

we

rejected doubt, likewise let fear

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:58

with the false priests whom

we

mentioned above, through them claiming

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:62

expulsion from the divine garden,

we

were exposed to merciless condemnation

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:62

our sins of transgression which

we

had unworthily committed in our

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:62

in our desire for freedom.

We

brought upon ourselves the force

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:66

Christ’s death; for with whom

we

die, with the same we

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:66

we die, with the same

we

shall also live

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:71

God, how much more should

we—

who were eyewitnesses and greatly

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 3:72

for his immortal power, lest

we

be inferior to those zealous

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:86

As

we

know all this, brethren, let

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:87

to us as double: if

we

die, we shall live; and

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:87

as double: if we die,

we

shall live; and if we

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:87

we shall live; and if

we

put to death, the same

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:92

we

may look down on the

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 4:92

lower region of this earth,

we

see it filled with all

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:103

But since

we

have seen the heavenly light

Եղիշէ/Yeghishe 5- 5:110

Moreover,

who are much humbler than

may learn concord from them

we

arranged the events, deeds and

We

describe the beheading of God’s

We

wrote about all the events

We

have examined many narrations in

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 1- 2:0

of Armenia. After long reading

we

found in them the periods

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 1- 4:5

just such an example were

we

forced to write this history

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 1- 4:10

We,

in our weakness, were forced

We

have not translated this half

better than himself. But should

we

bow and incline toward affection

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 6:5

will be our share, and

we

shall bear the name of

Indeed now, because

we

and our ancestors have enraged

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 6:6

enraged tolerant and mild God,

we

have been betrayed into slavery

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 6:6

are inconsolable at the division.

We

watched the haughty godless Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 10:3

all of this down accurately.

We

have read (Koriwn) numerous times

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 11:1

said to the blessed patriarch:”

We

who stand before you, and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 2- 11:6

We

can no longer bear the

foul actions of the king.

consider it better to die

Moreover, because of conscience,

we

are unable to commune in

we

learned from you and from

are unable to find any

we

we

promise that you shall not

we

are of the same azg

of the venerable Koriwn so

we

surely know that the saint

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 20:10

realm are eternally lost, while

we

will be punished for it

am thinking that just as

we

enjoy the benefits and other

the authority of our kingdom

we

are therefore even more obliged

Our faith informs us that

we

will suffer heavy punishment from

punishment from the gods should

we

be found indifferent with regard

Now if

we

are to be punished for

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 22:3

Accordingly,

we

have had our correct and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 22:3

land and beloved by us,

we

want you to study our

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 22:3

to worship the faith which

all clearly know is false

so-called faith so that (

If

are quiet on that matter

a command and accept it.

We

cannot hear even a single

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:4

single word about this, because

we

simply do not want to

down and brought to us,

we

shall never listen to you

are at court, there and

your “teachers of the faith”)

we

have subjected to ridicule. (How

to ridicule. (How much more

we

would ridicule) what you have

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:10

read and obey, something which

we

neither need nor want

we

have desired not even to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:7

read what you have written.

We

recognize those precepts as false

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:7

of a stupid person. As

we

have heard them many times

Indeed, were

we

to read them, we would

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:8

were we to read them,

we

would be forced to ridicule

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:9

Consequently,

we

did not deem it fitting

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:10

we

did not consider the precepts

at them, why then should

we

write down the God-loving

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:11

to you about our beliefs:

we

do not serve the elements

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:11

as you do. Nor do

we

revere the many gods which

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 24:12

nor our sons shall ever

thing in the world that

we

choose and find salvation for

We

have learned and firmly hold

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 30:21

We

do not merely seek benefit

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 30:22

Nor is it that

we

are fleeing out of fear

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 30:23

always displayed toward our ancestors,

we

have departed to escape. As

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 30:24

of the Gospel, nor do

we

wish to. God forbid

of them: “How long shall

we

countenance hiding the truth and

And now, again,

we

beseech Your true heavenly Father

Your true heavenly Father, saying

’We

may shed our blood for

Let us now do as

we

planned to, and dispatch to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 33:5

to the emperor those men

we

want to send. After that

we

be worthy of attaining the

we

live), our boys will be

we

discovered through much investigation and

What reply do you think

we

should give to the men

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 41:5

must think about what might

we

ought to do, command us

we

encouraged them and were their

we

saw that you were somewhat

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 44:24

destroyer of your land (Ghewond).

We

are well informed about all

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 44:27

and the same determination, and

we

hope we shall be worthy

one of our number whom

we

shall write a letter to

we,

united, will tire out the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 46:0

and extremely angry fashion: “Indeed

to read, and from which

ready and waiting for you.”

We

were accurately informed about his

we,

defeated, returned full of shame

thank you, Savior, for making

are now strengthened and encouraged

We

depart from those who have

in glory: ’For your sake

the king’s order, and that

we

consider you and the one

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 55:22

to say to Yovsep’: “Although

we

regard your enmity toward us

call us mindless and lost,

we

consider these personal insults as

must know the wishes and

have heard that no one

We

cannot compare this to the

the cup of death, which

we

hurry to drink as thirsty

to do, and delay not.

We

ask that God grant us

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:1

We

thank you Christ, for sharing

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:1

eternal sacrifice. And now that

we

are being sacrificed, accept all

events, pressing him warmly, and

we

have truthfully written what he

to all the Christians. Then

we

shall be condemned to death

we,

damaged by ignorance, will be

We

heard these many times from

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:41

with enthusiastic concern. For although

we

were not able to recall

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 57:41

of our feeble-mindedness) nonetheless

we

were not careless to lazily

vardapets from Niwshapuh and departed.

We

wanted to accompany them, but

and say so, so that

we,

too, can go there with

with them and not return.

We

are prepared to go and

only to see them, and

we

hope we will be worthy

see them, and we hope

we

will be worthy. But if

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 58:18

same order about us, for

we

regard such a death as

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 58:7

We

are prepared not only for

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 58:8

said about worshipping the sun,

we

are saddened and disturbed by

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 58:8

by converting). God forbid that

we

should abandon the Creator and

May

we

also be worthy of our

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 3- 59:0

We

shall record in order what

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 61:2

prophets and the holy Apostles,

we

who are filled with myriads

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 61:4

of the captive naxarars—whom

we

heard with our own ears

for that is false. Rather,

we

have received our schooling in

the cloth for the raiment

we

use we purchase there, for

for the raiment we use

we

purchase there, for as it

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 66:15

available in no other land,

we

are obliged by the needs

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 65:7

practise. (The slanderers note:) “If

we

sit idly by, he will

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 66:6

we

are forced to serve

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 66:7

we,

together with the Iberians, may

fully correct and true. But

we

are placing our hopes not

We

also (place our hopes) on

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 66:15

on our own deaths, for

we

consider it better to die

good name, both you and

we

shall receive from the king

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 67:9

However, should you lazily delay,

we

fear that perhaps they themselves

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 67:9

from elsewhere. (In that case)

we

do not know how the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 67:9

the matter will end. Perhaps

we

will be exhausted and regret

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 68:2

true of our work, since

we

look to His aid completely

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 68:4

we

must think of nothing else

and note: “Who knows, maybe

we

can reach the ford where

in some unexposed place. When

we

know that half of the

brigade has crossed the river,

we

can fall on them and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 68:19

perhaps do some damage. Similarly,

we

can fall on the rest

from Atrvshnasp, saying: “To now

we

have done nothing bad nor

We

are the only survivors who

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 71:13

the mightiest men, about whom

we

have been informed earlier—Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 71:13

by the grace of Christ,

we

can put them to flight

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 72:7

They collapsed and fell; but

we

rose and stood upright” [Psalm 19, 9], and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 72:8

they gave praise, saying: “Then

we

thy people, the flock of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 72:8

ever; from generation to generation

we

will recount thy praise

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:5

Then you,

we,

and the Huns shall destroy

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:5

that when the Huns arrive,

we

shall not have to participate

plains the Armenians and then

we

will believe everything that you

vowed to us. Then will

we

do everything you command. Otherwise

do everything you command. Otherwise,

we

will not believe that the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:16

allied with you. But if

we

see that it is indeed

in this matter not because

we

want to be, but out

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:16

and thoughts are with you.

We

know that we would not

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:16

with you. We know that

we

would not leave your service

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:18

For tomorrow, when

we

come to the place of

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:18

to the place of battle,

we

will quit the brigade and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:20

saying: “It is good that

we

are fighting with the Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:20

Iranian troops today. For now,

we

are sufficient for them, and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 73:20

to withstand us. But if

we

had to postpone it by

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 74:6

and come back quickly. For

we

shall never find such a

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 74:6

into incorruptible life. Hurry, or

we

will not attain immortality. Perhaps

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 74:6

a renowned and glorious death,

we

will later quit this life

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:14

or even less than that, (

we)

put to flight one or

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:15

we

were troubled with discord and

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 75:28

our fathers and ancestors, and

we

will serve and submit to

justly at worth and usefulness,

we

who rebelled are ready to

to do it again. For

we

knew that we would not

again. For we knew that

we

would not be able to

withstand the Aryans, knowing as

we

do the unfortunate power we

we do the unfortunate power

we

possess and the great, inestimable

had resolved only to die

will die a noteworthy and

we

wanted to preserve and spare

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:13

We

give you such advice to

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 76:13

advice to preserve you, since

we

hope for your life and

After eating the food as

we

could from the saint’s hands

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 77:6

could from the saint’s hands,

we

were revived a bit

When he saw that

had been revived somewhat and

will blame our lack of

stipulated a boundary over which

stipulated a boundary over which

we

would not dare to cross

to Peroz: ’He is right;

we

are fighting falsely.’

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:0

get away from the work

we

have been engaged in

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:1

of this period such as

we

have seen or know about

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:1

related in romances and which

we

have heard

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 86:2

which you see, but also (

we

then had with us) the

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 87:6

kingdom be made to flourish. (

We

want you) to achieve reconciliation

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:6

the battle which Hazarawuxt and

we

fought, even though Vahan was

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 88:6

forces. Despite the fact that

we

were the victors, I know

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:4

potentially fatal act to which

we

have dedicated our lives—that

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:5

with the king’s seal, then

we

will do all that is

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:6

and junior folk. Nor did

we

just today decide upon these

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:6

was done on the day

we

dedicated ourselves to death. Everyone

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:7

grant us these three (demands)

we

will serve them as natural

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:7

it, and become (more) severe,

we

shall arise through the land

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:7

ruined, and gladly die, but

we

shall not worship an Iranian

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:11

Our third demand is that

we

want the one who is

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 89:16

sealed form, call us and

we

now are ready to die

are ready to die, but

cannot serve the lord of

think is appropriate to do

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:20

For when

we

ask about your rebellion, how

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 91:27

more bitter service from which

we

cannot free ourselves

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:3

we

should also like to see

We

You are our natural lords;

we

are your natural servants. Accept

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 92:19

Accept us with affection, and

we

shall happily serve you. Grant

we

wish. This is important and

We

have fully heard about all

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:12

spiritually. Neither our ancestors nor

we

were able to be stopped

We

constantly complained and are complaining

be enemies over something which

we

cannot willingly and thoughtfully revere

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:13

for it seems laughable and

we

do not believe (in Zoroastrianism

Armenia. (It is something) which

we

do not regard as just

Փարպեցի/Parpetsi 4- 95:19

do not revere anyone as

we

said before, bear heavy burdens

we

have realized that you are

and numerous glorious deeds that

we

shall record in the course

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 1:7

course of this history when

we

shall trace all the genealogies

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 2:1

Why

we

wished to expound our affairs

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 2:2

affairs of our nation, yet

we

have mentioned only the Greek

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 2:2

the Greek historians from whom

we

have promised to present the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 2:4

we

have described him who was

we

have said about him be

we

find the ones who urged

Men whose names

aspire. So, then it is

For although

we

are a small country and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:13

the divine Scriptures concur until

we

necessarily reach the pagan narratives

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 3:13

pagan narratives; and from these

we

shall take whatever we consider

consider reliable

we

shall defer to the place

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 4:23

shall set out later

toil of hands,” with which

we

work filthiness

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:4

We

shall begin our exposition with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:4

possible and according to what

we

have found to be trustworthy

Noah and third from Ham,

we

do not find placed in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:41

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:43

we

have found him so placed

After this

we

shall say the following: although

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:47

the beginning of our work

we

began to write down in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:47

from the royal archives. But

we

received a command from kings

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:50

We

have truly found these things

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:50

Arias and many others, yet

we

attribute them to the Greeks

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 5:50

them to the Greeks since

we

have learned from them

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:2

is reliable from many sources,

we

have set out the generations

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 6:20

third one called David, these

we

must repeat, though briefly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 7:7

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 7:7

we

were to try to introduce

for your edification, when would

we

arrive at the narrative of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:6

with despatch. And the pleasure

we

shall derive from the fulfillment

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:14

Through this

we

are assured of the order

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:20

From this same book

we

shall begin: Yapetost’ē, Merod, Sirat’

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 9:21

others in order, about whom

we

spoke earlier

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 11:13

so that either

we

may die and our possessions

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 11:13

the success of our arms,

we

may scatter his host and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:2

related in the book. But

we

shall set out only what

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:5

begat Aramaneak in Babylon, as

we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:18

throat of Sharay, they say,

we

do not have the barns

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:30

but how this took place

we

shall narrate in its own

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:34

This Geḷam, as

we

said, after some years of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:39

whose time, if you wish

we

shall set forth outside this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:39

forth outside this book, or

we

shall omit them; otherwise we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 12:39

we shall omit them; otherwise

we

shall include them in this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 13:2

to regard this work that

we

have undertaken at your command

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 13:2

festivities of banquets and drinking -

we

have decided to discuss briefly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 14:2

We

shall expound with but a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 14:7

But now

we

have to speak about his

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 14:19

by him; but let what

we

have said be sufficient

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 16:3

purity of waters and land

we

must build a city and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 16:3

and royal residence, so that

we

may spend a fourth part

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 16:3

the other three cooler seasons

we

shall spend in Nineveh

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 16:8

of the aqueduct nowadays, as

we

hear, men of the region

of this site and construction

we

have not heard from anyone

from anyone with accuracy, so

we

are unwilling to include it

it in our history. But

we

merely say that of all

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 17:8

of all royal works, as

we

have heard, this is considered

all; only Ninuas remained, as

we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 17:12

So

we

have explained the cause and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 18:6

But this is enough;

we

must now tell of what

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 19:2

in these matters, from whom

we

have attempted to make a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 19:3

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 19:6

we

claim to be truthful in

son Zamesea, that is, Ninuas,

we

can know for certain the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 20:10

flight by the robber Joshua

we,

the princes of the Canaanites

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 20:12

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 21:7

we

have discovered for a certain

would be too much if

we

were to repeat in this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:2

least important from our account,

we

shall speak of what is

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:5

the basis for such matters

we

considered it right that we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:5

we considered it right that

we

ourselves should read the four

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:11

in the earlier chapters above

we

blamed the unscholarly habits and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 22:13

were to ask: “Whence did

we

thus learn the names of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:6

were those men whose names

we

shall inscribe below

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:9

But as

we

set out the order of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:9

the order of the kings,

we

shall place beside it that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 23:23

their lives for worshipping Gog,

we

shall later relate methodically

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 24:2

Now before

we

undertake the history of Tigran

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 26:2

what way,” he said, “will

we

be able to loose the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:13

First

we

both hacked each other’s body

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:13

that shines like the sun

we

made a sea of blood

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 27:14

and later with other arms,

we

fought for several hours

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:4

This, furthermore,

we

cannot now accomplish through money

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 28:4

money or deceitful words unless

we

now act as I wish

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 29:3

exists between us, so that

we

may both be secure on

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 31:12

truth of our history, how

we

have revealed the secrets of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:4

reputation of heroic nature, what

we

are saying is true

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 32:8

With our own ears

we

have heard some singing this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:2

of what opposes falsehood; that

we

should carry the narrative from

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:6

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:7

we

see that your desire goes

But either

we

must narrate these matters at

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:8

of your great haste, behold

we

have not indicated in their

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:8

about the Ilian war; but

we

have added it here

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 33:9

I cannot say whether

we

are here acting like a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:9

youthful years and immature understanding

we

shall provide them

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:10

Therefore

we

shall here fulfill your desired

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

impossibilities, which for your sake

we

made possible, this too we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

we made possible, this too

we

shall accomplish. The stories and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:13

stories and deeds of which

we

speak, and especially those whose

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:14

is hateful to us, for

we

did not speak of them

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:14

our first book, nor did

we

deem them worthy of inclusion

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 1- 34:23

proved impossible for him. As

we

said above, for the sake

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 2:2

As

we

have said, sixty years after

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 2:10

third of this world, as

we

learn from the fourth book

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 3:3

The latter, as

we

wrote in our first book

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 4:3

he stayed many days, as

we

must admit, for they were

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:5

house of Cadmos, whose names

we

set out in one of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:7

that in the first book

we

forgot to mention this illustrious

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 8:24

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 10:2

we

have also forgotten the grim

We

shall begin our narrative for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 10:4

no one doubt this, for

we

have seen that archive with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 11:6

the prisoners from Iberia, as

we

narrated above. And he entrusted

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 13:2

doubtful of these same events

we

made many researches

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 13:3

because

we

heard from some histories that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 13:5

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 24:12

we

have found the period of

he proposed to me that

we

should seek an oath from

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 24:12

our own native land because

we

had recently suffered insults in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 24:13

said to him: ’Why do

we

deceive ourselves with ancient tales

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 27:6

or in the order that

we

have adopted for our account

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 27:6

sake of honoring these men

we

shall set them in this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 27:7

And then later

we

shall indicate the time of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 27:7

the course of our narrative

we

reach the period of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 28:9

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:27

we

shall narrate the circumstances of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:30

we

had previously heard of this

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 33:30

we

commanded everyone to whom Jesus

Him among the gods. And

we

threatened with death those who

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:4

All this, as

we

have said, others have related

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:4

have related before us, so

we

did not consider it at

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 34:11

We

have recorded this very briefly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 36:2

the various acts of Sanatruk

we

have considered nothing worthy of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 36:4

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 36:8

we

must say why he was

But as far as

we

understand the matter it happened

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 42:9

of the Arsacid family. This

we

shall describe in its own

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 47:6

of his father. For as

we

have said, half of his

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 48:10

also many other deeds that

we

have to relate and to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 49:3

all this, as

we

said, is revealed to you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 49:3

songs of the storytellers. But

we

too shall recall them briefly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 50:18

Artavazd and many others, whom

we

did not consider it important

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 50:18

name now, but later when

we

reach whatever they did

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 59:2

the days of Artashēs, therefore

we

have divided them into many

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 59:3

Although everything else that

we

recorded in the preceding chapters

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 60:15

tomb were willing deaths, as

we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 61:8

of the matter is as

we

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 62:5

for it is cramped, since

we

have multiplied greatly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:7

We

shall not discuss them by

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:7

clear to us, partly because

we

are avoiding the labor of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:8

For this reason

we

shall say nothing about those

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:8

us to do so, but

we

shall speak only of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:8

of the subsequent events that

we

know for certain

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 64:9

So far as was possible

we

have avoided superfluous and elaborate

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 66:8

is from this history that

we

have taken our account and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 67:2

As

we

said, after Vaḷarsh his son

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:13

does superfluous work in that

we

have again said what has

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:13

been told. But know that

we

are happily repeating this again

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 68:13

happily repeating this again because

we

wish our readers to be

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 69:3

After Arshavir, as

we

said, Artashēs ruled for thirty

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 69:7

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:3

we

shall give our account from

whom the Persians called Rastsohun.

We

have based our account on

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:5

Similarly

we

shall omit the goat’s suckling

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 70:6

We

shall recount only what is

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 73:4

family of Kamsarakan, of whom

we

shall speak in his place

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 73:5

But now

we

shall tell of what happened

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 74:13

saved only the one whom

we

say was created, or rather

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 75:6

the names nor the places,

we

have not considered them important

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 75:8

considering this to be accurate

we

shall repeat it for you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 75:9

of Trdat and after him,

we

have not erred through laziness

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 75:9

laziness or negligence, nor have

we

set down anything in purposeful

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 75:10

of wise men and antiquarians,

we

have given you a faithful

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 82:2

true history without chronology, therefore

we

made a detailed investigation and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 84:9

to plan and execute whatever

we

wish. I have decided to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 85:9

But now

we

have to tell of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:11

and note: “Whom then are

we

to worship instead of the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 86:17

We

make bold to say that

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 90:10

So

we

have explained the reasons for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 91:2

seventeenth year of Trdat’s reign

we

have found that our father

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:2

those made such by Christ,

we

must use very glorious speech

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:21

to God concerning the dangers

we

run from you, we whose

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 2- 92:21

dangers we run from you,

we

whose portion is danger and

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 1:1

of our land, nor can

we

go through all that of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 1:1

casting an eye on them

we

could discuss everything without forgetting

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 1:2

ability and the records permit,

we

have given a faithful account

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 1:3

or blame us, for behold

we

shall tell you without error

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 1:3

Saint Gregory from the patriarchate.

We

shall deal with this history

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 3:3

seeking them very ardently. And

we

know for certain that they

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 4:2

As

we

find it said in the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 5:4

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 15:8

we

desire that you rule over

its general and has deserted.

We

would have been able with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 15:8

them and halt them, but

we

allowed them to go for

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 15:9

return with our invincible might

we

shall destroy you and your

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:7

We

are truly convinced that you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:8

And your first action

we

know you undertook to prevent

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:8

cause. Therefore, in our anger

we

made their general drink bull’s

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:9

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:9

we

shall in no way harm

no way harm your kingdom,

we

swear by the great god

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 17:9

Only hurry to us that

we

may make plans for our

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 23:7

make ready so that when

we

come, we may find a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 23:7

so that when we come,

we

may find a hunt worthy

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 28:2

Depart from us, Shapuh, lest

we

bring even greater disaster in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 28:2

you this second time than

we

did the first time

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:16

imperial majesty not think that

we

have rebelled for hatred of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:16

ourselves to have some strength

we

have sent a marauding band

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:16

saves us from his hands,

we

have helped him with a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:18

So accept what

we

did and keep firm your

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 29:18

earlier love for us, and

we

shall pay you devoted service

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:12

each one’s territory, and although

we

needed nothing from you, nonetheless

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:12

accordance with our royal solicitude

we

have had mercy on you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:12

shepherds without a good overseer,

we

have therefore made as your

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:14

We

swear by fire and water

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:14

of my immortal ancestors that

we

have done this without deceit

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 42:15

do not obey our commands,

we

have ordered their domains with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:6

our late King Arshak, which

we

held inviolate until the day

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:6

of his death. And now

we

have decided to serve you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:6

remember our transgressions in that

we

waged war against you by

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:8

Greeks disturbing the estates that

we

possess in this sector

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:9

seal of the cross: when

we

see it, we shall hasten

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:9

cross: when we see it,

we

shall hasten to your service

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:14

Rejoice, for

we

are well and were happy

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:14

news of your greeting. And

we

have sent this pact in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:15

remember your transgressions, which indeed

we

did not consider as transgressions

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:15

whom you were serving, for

we

hope that you will be

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:16

you your hereditary lands that

we

confiscated to the court, with

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:16

the exception of those that

we

have granted to various people

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:16

kings. But in their place,

we

shall fill your needs from

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 48:17

Third,

we

shall disentangle you from the

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 51:18

of the guilty families that

we

confiscated to the court you

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 51:18

their ancestral ranks. For this

we

have ordered to be written

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 55:24

We

have been forced to narrate

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:7

see but to order that

we

and our teaching be received

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:12

Trusting in your holiness

we

have sent the teacher of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:26

We

have ordered your letters to

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:26

informed of what you wrote.

We

greatly blamed you for wholeheartedly

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:27

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:28

we

especially blame you for this

Therefore

we

were pleased with our subjects

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:28

was due to divine grace,

we

have written that they should

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:29

We

have also ordered a city

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:30

And on your account,

we

have made Vardan, the son

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:35

We

offer many thanks to God

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:35

such a barbarous nation. Yet

we

do not absolve you from

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:36

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:37

we

are even more amazed as

of the Spirit - at which

we

now rejoice

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 57:39

this Mesrop whom you sent

we

have ordained him ecclesiasticos

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 61:6

Then our translators, whose names

we

mentioned earlier, arrived and found

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 62:3

such fashion so too did

we,

reflecting the grace that continually

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 62:3

the deeps of the archives,

we

went on to worship at

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 62:4

With similar deliberate speed

we

entered Egypt, that famous land

we

wished to sail to Greece

the force of the winds

we

reached Italy. After greeting the

of saints Peter and Paul,

we

did not remain long in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 62:10

through Greece to Attica, where

we

stayed a while in Athens

the end of the winter

we

set out for Byzantium, anxious

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:5

So

we

must endure for a while

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:5

while the man’s faults until

we

are able to arrange a

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:8

before a Christian king that

we

denounced him I would be

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 63:11

should not be king, now

we

wish that you should not

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:2

As

we

said, the Armenian princes were

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:13

if anyone should say that

we

ought to write down what

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 65:13

anyone with accuracy and that

we

are not willing to fabricate

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 67:7

We

should speak of him in

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 67:7

causing tedium to the readers,

we

shall leave this for another

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 67:7

as for the early period

we

promised to compose one

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 68:9

for in your widowhood, and

we

who have been deprived of

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 68:10

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 68:19

we

are not like that people

wisdom and perfect aptitude, while

we

swiftly making for Byzantium hoped

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 68:29

a prophet over the miseries

we

have suffered and the distress

Խորենացի/Khorenatsi 3- 68:29

have suffered and the distress

we

shall endure. Foretell the rise

Now what shall

we

do? Shall we agree? Is

what shall we do? Shall

we

agree? Is it proper to

into calmer (times), they renege.

We

have suffered many evils from

them slaughter each other, and

we

shall have relief.’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:3

saying: ’O king, live forever.

We

do not know whether it

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:5

’They liberated that traitor, because

we

saw with our own eyes

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 12:23

reckon in your mind that

we

have any other intentions toward

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 15:1

they kill our enemies; but

we

shall live in peace. For

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 15:1

remain in their own land,

we

shall have no rest.’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:3

reckoned that: ’With this treasure

we

shall make the Huns ours

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 16:3

ours. Receiving support from them,

we

shall wage war against both

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 17:4

ford over the river, otherwise

we

shall kill you.’ He

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 29:2

done your duty loyally and

we

are especially grateful to you

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 35:2

mind at their coming, and

we

recognized that God had not

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 35:3

his power and his wonders,

we

shall repeat the saying of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 35:8

By describing this miracle,

we

make you rejoice. The reconstruction

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 35:10

life-giving Passion, so that

we

may attain this good end

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 36:5

First,

we

thank God for the consolations

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 36:5

all afflictions.’’ For behold

we

too, through your consolation which

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 36:7

admonish? ’For through his wounds

we

were healed, and the chastisement

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 36:10

cast down by his severity,

we

were submerged in its great

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 38:5

install whom he wishes, and

we

shall accept him. But does

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 38:12

make a living.’ And

we

shall look upon you with

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 38:17

note: ’Wherever you may go,

we

are with you to stand

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 38:32

have mercy on us, although

we

are not worthy of mercy’

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 39:3

counsel together and note: ’Although

we

escaped from the enemy, yet

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 41:5

communicate with the emperor. ’Otherwise,

we

shall make for ourselves another

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 42:11

We

are the sons of Abraham

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 42:11

enough. Abandon it peacefully and

we

shall not come into your

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 42:11

come into your territory. Otherwise,

we

shall demand that possession from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 42:38

This

we

heard from men who had

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 45:11

king and to the patriarch:

’We

are considered as impious in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:3

We

have a commandment from the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:4

and the Christ-loving army.

We,

glorying in the light of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:17

latter? It is clear that

we

must divide ourself into two

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:19

oath. They responded, saying: ’If

we

had not turned aside from

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:19

now in fear of God

we

shall declare the truth before

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:23

enjoy that peace regarding which

we

must request from Christ God

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:25

us your unworthy servants, when

we

saw it we offered obeisance

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:25

servants, when we saw it

we

offered obeisance and with great

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:25

Now in the following fashion

we

have learned the truth of

from the beginning, of whom

we

have heard, to whom we

we have heard, to whom

we

were indeed eyewitnesses, on whom

were indeed eyewitnesses, on whom

we

looked; and our hands touched

the life was revealed; and

we

saw and bear witness and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:27

Why then does he say:

’We

were indeed eye-witnesses’, and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:27

eye-witnesses’, and: ’On whom

we

looked; and our hands touched

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:28

appear, but in the visible

we

saw the invisible; since in

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:30

prophetic declaration: ’By whose wounds

we

were all healed’. In this

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:31

three are one. (Even if)

we

were to have any testimony

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:34

death of the Cross’. ’While

we

were enemies, we were reconciled

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:34

Cross’. ’While we were enemies,

we

were reconciled with God through

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:41

So

we

hold our faith, not as

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:41

very recent people, but as

we

have received it from the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:43

On this

we

stand firm, and we reckon

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:43

this we stand firm, and

we

reckon the same sufficient for

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:46

We

do not recognize other councils

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:46

other councils held elsewhere. And

we

consider as follows: that your

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:47

us this doctrine, in which

we

have remained immovable until now

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:47

now. In addition to him

we

have as teachers the holy

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:48

and vardapets are no more.

We

are ignorant of books and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:50

’We

believe in one God, almighty

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:52

kingdom there is no end.

We

believe also in the holy

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:53

We

also believe in one sole

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:54

mutable or changeable, such persons

we

anathematize, because the catholic apostolic

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:63

whereby he released captivity. Therefore,

we

are not ashamed to say

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:64

for the Lord’s sacrament which

we

distribute with great discretion, it

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:64

discretion, it is as follows.

We

do not have authority to

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:64

pure to the impure. For

we

have universal canons for rites

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:67

we

see that among the old

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:73

We

received (this faith) from St

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:73

Constantine. On that same tradition

we

stand firm, and we shall

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:73

tradition we stand firm, and

we

shall not deviate from it

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:74

Concerning other councils, as

we

said above, we do not

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:74

councils, as we said above,

we

do not know anything for

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:78

dead, and so on. But

we

and all who confess the

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:79

by division after the union

we

condemn and anathematize in accordance

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:82

Now as

we

have received the commands of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 46:82

valiant of men, king Constans,

we

reckoned it best through this

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 47:1

orchards. This (happened) rightly, because

we

sinned against the Lord and

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 47:1

sinned against the Lord and

we

angered the Holy One of

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 48:8

a subsidy as assistance; and

we

shall decide together what is

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 48:9

them to defeat us. Everything

we

had was there lost. But

He note: ’Beneficent king, while

we

used to see you painted

us - let alone now that

we

see you face to face

and speak mouth to mouth.

We

are ignorant and foolish men

are ignorant and foolish men;

we

know neither language nor literature

possess historical documents composed by

neither language nor literature unless

we

first study and comprehend. But

Սեբէոս/Sebeos 1- 50:8

Lord, be upon us, as

we

hope in you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 1:0

First

we

shall discuss those called Amir

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 1:1

be shed in vengeance, because

we

had sinned before the Lord

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 1:3

in service (to him); and

we

are his heirs and sons

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 1:4

of the Byzantines, and together

we

shall hold our realm.” The

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 4:0

four months, and then died [661-680]. (

We

shall now describe) Prince Grigor

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 6:1

After the events which

we

have just narrated, the emperor

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 7:12

and never knew righteousness, as

we

learn from the Lord

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:9

pursuing us? What wrong have

we

done you? Behold, our country

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:9

our country lies before you,

we

are giving you our dwelling

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:23

sacrilege, saying: “God forbid that

we

do such a thing to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:25

the Armenian troops and note: “

We

have heard that Christian folk

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:26

General Smbat responded: “

We

are taught by our Lord

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:26

unworthy of mercy, nor shall

we

show it to you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:27

into the church and note: “

We

have no hope staying here

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:27

here. Should they kill us

we

will attain the paradise promised

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 8:27

Should they let us survive,

we

will live

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:6

authority to hold to what

we

believe in and confess to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 9:10

according to their custom, something

we

confirmed two or three times

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:11

do not abandon us. For

we

are Your servants, even though

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:11

though many times, as sinners,

we

have displeased Your sweet love

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:12

Your blessed and awesome name,

we

place in Your hands our

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:13

And they told them: “When

we

receive this amount of silver

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:13

receive this amount of silver,

we

will free you alive. As

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 10:25

triumph of the Ishmaelites. And

we

destroyed this city.” They say

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 13:3

of various questions. Below, briefly,

we

shall summarize it

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:3

said in your letter that “

we

have discussed with you more

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:4

strange. This is the rule

we

observe towards others

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:5

It is true that

we

have written to you several

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:5

affairs, never about divine ones.

We

are, moreover, instructed by the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:6

With regard to you, however,

we

are not learning now for

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:6

substance of your beliefs, for

we

have been commanded by God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:6

to that which is good [cf. I Thess. 5:21].

We

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:7

that you may not think

we

are ashamed to profess a

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:9

shall quit it naked”, whereas

we

do not find in the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:11

my replies. You say that

we

have found in the Psalms

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:11

is not the first time

we

have searched for and found

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:12

of all you write that

we

have contended ourselves with these

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:17

been falsified by people whom

we

do not know

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:23

We

know that it was Abraham

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:25

We

know too, that Moses, to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:31

we

say that it was the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:31

the Scripts in the sanctuary,

we

do not mean to say

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:42

them to be dispersed as

we

see in our own days

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:44

the waters of Babylon, there

we

sat down and wept, when

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:44

sat down and wept, when

we

remembered Zion. On the willows

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:44

Zion. On the willows there

we

hung up our lyres. For

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:51

Thus, as

we

have already said, God wished

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:56

do for your Furqan, although

we

know that it was ’Umar

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:64

the promises. On the contrary,

we

are warned constantly by the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:65

the disciples of the Lord,

we

became divided into seventy-two

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:72

As for us,

we

are accustomed to designate the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:82

God is addressing these words?

We

do not permit ourselves to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:82

and enlightens all? And yet

we

are accused by you of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:86

different origins. For our part,

we

know only one God, the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:87

dissipates. This Word is what

we

recognize as the Word of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:95

lower than He in humiliation,

we

attribute to Him all that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:95

said as to His supremacy,

we

attribute to Him as to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:96

Do you recall what

we

mentioned above from the books

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:111

of David, terrestrial king, as

we

have often told you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:125

will find it such as

we

have presented it to you

Lord, who has believed what

we

have heard? And to whom

no form or comeliness that

we

should look at him, and

him, and no beauty that

we

should desire him. He was

faces he was despised, and

we

esteemed him not

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:128

and carried our sorrows; yet

we

esteemed him stricken, smitten by

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:128

whole, and with his stripes

we

are healed

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:129

All

we

like sheep have gone astray

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:129

like sheep have gone astray;

we

have turned everyone to his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:134

pretend that the Hebrews and

we

have altered them, though you

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:134

are of divine origin. Suppose

we

admit for a moment that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:134

David, or the Gospels, that

we

may see them. This deception

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:135

have never seen them, and

we

are bound not to believe

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:135

in looking into the Gospel

we

possess, in an attempt to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:135

do you still pretend that

we

have falsified them? At least

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:136

us for not turning, when

we

pray, to the region indicated

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:140

us been able, or if

we

ourselves had thought of introducing

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:146

To the perfect man

we

attribute the humiliating expressions (of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

the sacrifice, you pretend that

we

have changed them at will

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:154

communion of bread and cup.

We

have not modified anything; it

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:156

an unreasonable lamb, could not

we

be saved from eternal death

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:156

His blood, and commanded that

we

take and drink in remembrance

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:158

Regarding circumcision, you pretend that

we

have replaced it by baptism

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:160

As for us,

we

have not received any command

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:164

Nor have

we

substituted Sunday for the Sabbath

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:165

As for us,

we

assemble on the day of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:166

We

have neither received command to

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:166

following the Jews, nor have

we

stayed away from preparing our

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:178

will not be broken, yet

we

know that a great number

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:181

Thus

we

see that the living God

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:183

Yet you are annoyed when

we

gather together the remains of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:183

their own death, so that

we

may bury them in places

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:184

to the cross and pictures.

We

honor the cross because of

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:184

of God borne thereon, as

we

learned from a commandment given

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:185

imitation of this sign) that

we

Christians sign our foreheads with

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:187

As for pictures,

we

do not pay them like

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:187

effect in the Holy Scriptures.

We

have, however, in the Old

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

Likewise

we,

animated by a sincere love

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

images) in front of us,

we

joyfully glorify God who has

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:188

and the colors on it,

we

do not give them any

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:200

the just, you pretend that

we

have represented the former as

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:201

We

say, on the contrary, that

marvelous mystery of our redemption,

we

hope after our resurrection, to

enjoy the celestial kingdom, since

we

have obeyed the doctrines of

for those who love him.” [1 Cor. 2:9].

We

do not hope to find

wine, honey or milk. There

we

do not expect to enjoy

have children by them, for

we

put no faith in such

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:216

our unshakable and imperishable faith,

we

have endured at your hands

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:216

will still endure much suffering.

We

are even prepared to die

Because such is our hope,

we

are tormented by you, under

the threat of death; but

we

can only respond with patience

only respond with patience, for

we

count on neither our bow

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 1:2

countenance. Should He will it, (

we

are prepared to suffer still

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:220

As for us,

we

accept with eagerness all the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:220

Lord and Savior, so that

we

may arrive at the happiness

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 14:220

loved His name, with whom

we

may be worthy to glorify

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 15:1

demonstrated his benevolence. Indeed, as

we

narrated earlier, he was the

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:4

not heard about the evils

we

visited upon all those kingdoms

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:4

against our sovereignty, kingdoms which

we

have smashed and pulverized like

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:4

has been fulfilled. And indeed,

we

have conquered every kingdom

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:13

For these reasons

we

hope that His mercy which

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:14

As for us,

we

do not boast of our

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:14

of our bows nor do

we

live by our swords. Rather

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 20:15

upon the righteous, so that

we

take measure of our weakness

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 24:3

them to the cemetary, saying: “

We

are one people (speaking) one

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 24:3

one language, (having) one principality.

We

are brothers, so why are

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 24:3

are brothers, so why are

we

plunging swords into each other

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 26:2

the brutality of the Ishmaelites,

we

cannot withstand their troops, and

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 26:2

cannot withstand their troops, and

we

will be unable to dislodge

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 26:3

we

are currently doing and let

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 26:4

troops will stay with you.

We

cannot tolerate the crisis that

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 33:7

of our land. For as

we

noted earlier, it was the

We

are unable to narrate more

quickly. Pity the great shame

we

are found in. In our

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 34:65

found in. In our peril

we

call upon Your name, Oh

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 34:67

As

we

learned directly from the enemy

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 38:0

We

learned that along with his

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 38:3

we

mentioned earlier, and sent them

Ղեւոնդ/Ghevond 1- 39:3

we

mentioned earlier, had previously come

to K’ubeida): “God forbid that

we

should exchange the truth of

past bygone times so that

witnessed the renewal of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 1:15

of our country. Besides him,

we

shall also tell you about

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 2:7

the law of seniority, as

we

shall explain in its proper

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 2:14

You now know why

we

are called Ashkenazian as well

derive a period of four

we

learned that the handsome Hayk

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 18:5

agree to go and unite,

we

would set up another katholikos

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 18:12

But the philosopher Yovhan, whom

we

mentioned earlier, did not go

tremble, much less beholding your

we

would not be required to

we

mentioned above; he tormented him

Today, however, since

we

are deprived of the grace

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 22:25

grace of their numerous powers,

we

try to impress the simple

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 25:50

demonstrated clearly, that “the sufferings

we

now endure bear no comparison

temporary death; for even though

we

are suffering for Christ, we

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 25:64

we are suffering for Christ,

we

are in communion with the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 30:37

of the Holy Scriptures, that

we

hold him as an exemplar

reason, was not blessed, and

we

are all aware of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 32:13

and unheard of condemnation which

we

received in retribution. For there

straight and redeeming mankind. Because

we

are wont to forget God

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 32:17

no one is upright, because

we

have all gone astray and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 32:17

tragic, if death, to which

we

are bound, comes to us

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 32:24

because

we

did not come out of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 32:24

with the Hagarites, from whom

we

learned their ways which proved

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 33:1

perfidious ostikan Afshin, about whom

we

have already spoken, noticed the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 33:20

being his bishop in residence,

we

were deeply concerned—and the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 33:20

manner for prisoners of war.

We

gathered at once the ransom

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 33:20

we

were immediately sent to Hamam

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 34:7

we

spoke above, he summoned the

we

became aware of the raging

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 44:11

Departing from there,

we

went to the region of

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:11

laborious toils on the scale,

we

discovered that the burdensome fetter

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:13

black notoriety of our deeds.

We

fell into the hands of

our midst that even though

we

were honored and blessed with

the kindness of God’s will,

we

did not duly acknowledge Him

duly acknowledge Him from whom

we

received good things, and contrary

to the call of duty,

we

were not thankful to the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 45:25

of comfort. Because of this

we

were admonished with such misfortunes

For this reason,

we

received insults from deceitful and

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 46:2

In this way

we

witnessed the spread of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 49:15

not hesitate to narrate what

we

ourselves have witnessed with our

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:23

in whispers in closets, namely, “

We

are Christians and we cannot

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 51:23

namely, “We are Christians and

we

cannot obey your impious laws

good faith openly before everyone: “

We

are Christians, and do not

While

we

suffered such afflictions at the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:7

hands of the foreign invaders,

we

had our eyes fixed on

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:8

Thus (

we

expected) (them to liberate the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 52:9

However, this is not what

we

witnessed; on the contrary it

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:8

We

put to work ten yoke

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:8

full of crops in return).

We

sowed, but reaped naught, planted

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:8

not produce their yield. If

we

stored anything at all, it

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:9

Thus,

we

realized the meaning of the

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:9

meaning of the divine words, “

We

toiled, and others have come

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 53:10

In this manner

we

were deprived of any hope

we

did not keep the covenant

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:3

could not witness with our

danger upon your flock, as

we

are physically beyond range, yet

the hands of the wicked,

we

deplore it with deep personal

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:9

We

sent another letter like this

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:9

chief (prince) of Abasgia, whom

we

advised to listen to you

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:13

Only then, both you and

we

shall grant them remission for

We

ourselves, and the bishops with

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 54:31

Nevertheless,

we

preserved within ourselves the grace

We

are doing this softly and

we

were taught, namely “Let no

King Ashot, about whom

we

were speaking recently, heard that

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 64:13

consoled himself as follows: “Although

we

are terrified and shaken by

and out of our wits,

we

sought the grace of God

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:14

Absolutely amazed at this phenomenon,

we

noticed that the sun had

Դրասխանակերտցի/Draskhanakerttsi 1- 65:14

an eclipse of the sun,

acknowledged this as an authentic

ascended directly to the Upper

carried them out like hidden

from a depository, so that

we

could express in words the

we

had abandoned much against our

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:31

been taken. So what shall

we

do with regard to these

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:32

with many laments and groaning

we

must quote the prophet’s saying

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:67

expression of incertitude. Of these

we

say that if this command

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:72

belt—at Bel’s command? But

we

shall linger here no further

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:73

Epiphanius expounds in order. But

we

said we would repeat the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:73

in order. But we said

we

would repeat the account of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 1:77

nations that came after him.

We

have now recalled the genealogy

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 2:2

carefully in Babylon—which book

we

know was (written) after the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 2:3

times and events—which inconsistencies

we

do not think appropriate to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 2:13

of building the tower. Hence

we

know that the original language

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:1

exposition of those times that

we

mentioned above—from the days

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:16

not for frivolous reasons that

we

resolved to write these things

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:24

said of the demons. “And

we

heard the lashing of the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:24

backs (of the punished), but

we

did not see the tormentors

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:25

baneful disease. In frightened terror

we

left there

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:26

of the earth. From there

we

set out across the desert

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:26

the sea. From then on

we

saw no more fowl or

We

no longer saw the sun

weather for ten days. Then

we

arrived at a spot by

the camp (equipment) on board,

we

embarked and sailed to an

not far from land, whence

we

heard the voices of men

of men (speaking) Greek; but

we

did not see the speakers

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:28

We

moved on from there in

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:29

Outside, after the journey,

we

came across a female ass

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:29

ass which had a foal.

We

immediately attached her foal to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:29

foal to the army. When

we

had entered fifteen miles, two

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:32

We

shall take up other (tales

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:38

spirit is self-moving. Now

we

see that the heavenly body

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 3:42

These are wise conclusions. But

we,

following Divine Scripture, have not

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 4:1

We

continue our text with the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 4:1

kingdom of the Assyrians that

we

carefully set out above. Its

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:1

of the moment might dictate.

We

shall not attempt to consider

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:2

but

we

considered it sufficient merely to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:38

time of) Queen Cleopatra, as

we

explained above

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:40

We

too, at your command, Oh

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:41

This Vahan whom

we

mentioned is the same Vahan

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:45

son Abgar became king. Here

we

come to the history of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:48

was from Bethsaida, and note:

’We

wish to see Jesus.’

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 6:52

We

think this is sufficient indication

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 7:5

have plotted against you, as

we

have heard from their confidants

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 7:8

reasons for his flight note: “

We

brought up the sons of

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 7:8

that when you were king (

we)

should have no grounds for

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 8:1

exile in the cavern that

we

mentioned above. So, he returned

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 9:1

inflicting troubles on others as

we

read, unexpectedly there arrived the

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 9:5

we

considered it merely sufficient to

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 9:5

generations of the family as

we

have labored to discover them

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:4

And as

we

said above, because of his

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:6

Now as

we

said above concerning our important

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:6

important investigations in the chronicles,

we

have confined ourselves to an

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:7

have composed this abbreviated narrative

we

have merely indicated the most

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:7

royal pomp and fame, as

we

read in the eloquent composition

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:10

through the chief scribe. But

we

have been unable to discover

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:11

What

we

could not discover for certain

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:11

could not discover for certain

we

did not reckon worth putting

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:20

important to write down what

we

have not verified

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 10:42

refined instruments of torture as

we

read of in the book

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:23

care of what you desire. (

We

must beware) lest some deceitful

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:23

trouble, so that they suppose

we

are plotting rebellion. But God

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:56

the best of our ability

we

Թովմա/Tovma 1- 11:56

composed this abbreviated narrative which

we

have presented to you, most

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:12

They replied: “Since

we

were continuously preoccupied with Persian

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:12

continuously preoccupied with Persian raids

we

had to abandon the study

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:12

confession of faith. But while

we

were in our own country

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 2:13

would exterminate that universal scourge

we

cannot agree zealously to flatter

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:4

the city of Tiflis. And

we

shall keep a peace treaty

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:6

side, and acting in unison

we

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:30

let him send him and

we

shall receive him. Behold, here

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:31

the land before you. Whether

we

so wish or not, God

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:40

to sow and harvest; and

we

shall look benignly upon you

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:51

have mercy on us, although

we

are not worthy of mercy

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:56

counsel together and note: “Although

we

escaped from the enemy, yet

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:56

escaped from the enemy, yet

we

cannot elude his grasp. So

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 3:77

came to an end, as

we

shall describe a little later

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:3

Ismael, indicating their close relationship: “

We

are the sons of Abraham

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:3

are the sons of Abraham—

we

and you, brothers. You must

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:3

come to our help, and

we

shall take the land of

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:13

the city of Madiam which

we

mentioned above

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:17

it suffice for you. Now

we

are the sons of Abraham

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:17

us our land peacefully, otherwise

we

shall take it by war

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:22

Now the Arian monk whom

we

mentioned above, Mahmet’s teacher, on

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:25

write perverse (things), of which

we

shall give brief extracts

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:56

down previously by others, so

we

considered it superfluous to repeat

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:58

shall describe the unbearable oppression

we

now have to speak about

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 4:58

long period of time; and

we

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:18

we

must return to earlier events

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:22

and ruin our country? Now

we

have never contravened the king’s

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:22

as governors have the right,

we

shall give you the (due

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:44

out successfully the plan which

we

have resolved on against the

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:44

and matters turn out as

we

ardently desire, and you are

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:50

desire the same. So when

we

see your benevolent solicitude for

Թովմա/Tovma 2- 6:50

your) friendly kindness towards us,

we

shall be most eager to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:1

Up to this point

we

have not hesitated to relate

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:2

For although

we

were oppressed and tormented with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:2

many more were they whom

we

smote than we who were

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:2

they whom we smote than

we

who were smitten. For the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 1:17

because of the impieties that

we

had all committed, from the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:20

at the blessed one’s responses,

we

did not consider it right

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:50

So

we,

the chief nobles of the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:51

dwelling and be at peace,

we

shall deliver Ashot into your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:56

general, see for sure, and

we

shall understand and know how

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:56

shall understand and know how

we

may be able to placate

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:68

of the Muslims, they responded: “

We

are not able to oppose

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:68

as prepared for defence as

we

thought, nor are the stores

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 2:73

Then Smbat Bagratuni, whom

we

mentioned above, the prince of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:30

the Armenian force saying: “Behold,

we

have sent away from us

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:31

were to follow the messengers “

we

shall seize him, his troops

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 4:31

troops will be discouraged, and

we

shall easily defeat them

speak with us as if

we

were obstinate subordinates, insignificant, wild

into consternation. You know who

we

are, whence (we come), and

know who we are, whence (

we

come), and from whom we

we come), and from whom

we

are descended

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:14

is perfectly clear to you.

We

are not rebels against your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:14

troubles have been multiplied. Since

we

have sinned before the Lord

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:14

into your hands. So behold

we

have come and stand before

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:15

down to our present time,

we

have held many races and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:15

subjection to our empire, but

we

have not paid such care

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:15

of them as much as

we

have to you and your

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:16

land, the royal administrators whom

we

sent you. You would gather

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:17

But behold,

we

paid no attention to all

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:17

the affection and mercy which

we

claim to have for you

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:18

However, since

we

now see you, personable and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:18

noble countenance, decorous and elegant, (

we

realise that) you are true

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:20

Then

we

shall disregard your harmful acts

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:24

We

have received and believe in

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:24

and believe in the truth;

we

cannot exchange the truth for

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:25

punishment be inflicted on us.

We

are ready for bonds, prison

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:27

is the custom for kings,

we

did not reckon it appropriate

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:29

give such long speeches as

we

have done for you. We

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:29

we have done for you.

We

shall do it (no) more

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:33

this transitory world, they note: “

We

accept the royal commands,” with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:35

But that Vasak whom

we

mentioned above among the great

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:45

the psalm: “For your sake

we

die continuously. We have been

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 6:45

your sake we die continuously.

We

have been considered as sheep

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:7

So lest

we

too fall into the same

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:10

Spirit. “For with the heart

we

believe in righteousness, and with

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:10

righteousness, and with the mouth

we

confess salvation,” as the apostle

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:13

the word of faith which

we

preach.” And to Timothy he

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:13

the faith is trustworthy: “If

we

deny (him), he will deny

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:13

will deny us, even if

we

do not believe, he remains

the word of faith which

we

preach.” And David says: “In

same I spoke.” And Paul: “

We

believe what we say.” And

And Paul: “We believe what

we

say.” And again Paul: “If

live), since with the heart

we

believe in righteousness and with

righteousness and with the mouth

we

confess salvation

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:25

the untrodden path. But when

we

are brought before kings and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 7:26

by stretching out this refutation

we

fall behind in the composition

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:1

Just as a little above

we

described the sea dragon and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:7

because of its tremendous strength,

we

have drawn the example of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:8

is not without witnesses, as

we

described above in our tale

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:14

eternal and everlasting. As precept

we

have to hand the Lord’s

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:20

us,” and what follows. “Since

we

die for you daily, we

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 8:20

we die for you daily,

we

have been considered as sheep

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:4

to the present day—which

we

do not have time to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 10:13

the Tsanars,” he said, “for

we

have stronger and higher fortresses

Yours is the property, but

we

are the heirs; yours the

heirs; yours the booty, but

we

are the plunderers; you are

plunderers; you are the brigand,

we

the thieves; you the reed

the thieves; you the reed,

we

the consuming fire; you the

consuming fire; you the straw,

we

the boisterous winds; you the

boisterous winds; you the flower,

we

the withering simoon; you the

simoon; you the flowering field,

we

the destructive hail; you the

that tears; you the toy,

we

the children who, grasping your

you the wild animal,

we

the hunters; you the bird

hunters; you the bird, and

we

descend from the heights and

you the sea serpent, and

we

the hook, dragging you up

briefly mentioned above concerning Ahmat’

the stag without horns, and

we

the eagles (swooping down) on

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:14

By whatever death you wish,

we

are ready to submit to

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:14

father Satan, has taught you.

We

shall not abandon the love

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:14

love of Christ, nor shall

we

be deprived of eternal life

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 11:24

true religion and faith that

we

have learned from the prophet

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:2

genealogy down to the time

we

are considering. Gurgēn deserves the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:5

are logically minded and understanding.

We

shall carry forward in abbreviated

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 13:7

men. Therefore, for the moment

we

have abbreviated them into few

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:2

they (say). As for us,

we

shall abbreviate the whole revolution

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 14:14

shall revolt against Ashot. Together

we

shall divide the land and

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 15:21

We

have indicated the details (of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 19:12

battle with me. Then together

we

shall lay hands on them

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 22:8

parts, giving to Ashot, as

we

said above, the rank of

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 23:1

As

we

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 23:7

warriors of Vaspurakan, whose names

we

recorded above, attacked like heroes

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 25:3

the murder of Apumruan that

we

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 27:10

much greater a punishment will

we

think that man worthy who

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:24

own—the story of which

we

recorded above—and especially the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:28

also placed the cross which

we

mentioned above, through which miraculous

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:41

This is the cross which

we

mentioned above when we described

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:41

which we mentioned above when

we

described its appearance [259] years previously

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:59

raids of brigands. This regulation

we

find among the holy angels

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:61

the warriors of Vaspurakan, as

we

described. As soon as the

Թովմա/Tovma 3- 29:64

the son of Sherep’, whom

we

mentioned above elsewhere in the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:7

mortal the immortal nature that

we

had in paradise—likewise here

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:15

But as

we

said above, some traitors from

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:29

We

cannot leave the memory of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:46

We

were informed by those who

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:48

Where,” they said, “have

we

lost the honourable pearl, the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:51

spears of an army, (when)

we

might have lost our lives

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 1:53

saying anything about them, and

we

shall hasten on with the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:8

of the Evil One, as

we

mentioned above. So I do

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:17

like the first time which

we

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:30

of Vasak the apostate, whom

we

mentioned above, gave support to

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 3:34

in the two towns, as

we

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:3

in himself these parallels that

we

mentioned above in accordance with

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:37

had happened, they note: “Since

we

have suffered this (at the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:37

of a few, how shall

we

be able to resist the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 4:67

even greater than the one

we

described above. They requested the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 6:4

any deed worthy of record,

we

did not set out their

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 7:11

Such in brief is what

we

have to say about the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:1

Now although

we

have happily undertaken (these) pleasing

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:1

happily undertaken (these) pleasing histories,

we

passed over many stories, especially

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:2

setting these outside our plans,

we

shall proceed to review the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:2

others with unerring indications. These

we

have visited in person and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:2

the East. Travelling on foot,

we

have seen the works of

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:19

we

have offered this suitable and

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 8:19

convenient account, so far as

we

could, in order to fulfil

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:0

were brought from distant lands.

We

shall give a faithful picture

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:6

the architect was Manuēl, whom

we

mentioned above, a man full

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:6

construction. To the monk whom

we

mentioned above he entrusted the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 9:16

So

we

have said what concerns the

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 10:1

We

described above the anarchy in

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:11

of Elimats’ik’ attacked us, as

we

said above, and continually vexed

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:40

of the divine treasures that

we

mentioned above, which were kept

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:42

Paul, the citizen of heaven: “

We

do not have combat with

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:87

Holy Cross of Ałt’amar, which

we

mentioned above. Furthermore, falling on

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:90

taken place, as is written,

we

must inform you, Oh dear

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:106

After this had happened

we

had no king or prince

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:113

Also

we

request, beg, entreat and supplicate

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:113

Holy Spirit, the true God—

we

the unworthy monks and priests

Թովմա/Tovma 4- 13:113

Trinity. In faith and hope

we

request from your liberal benevolence

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:2

his divine image (so that

we)

with our tireless thought (could

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:3

triple light of the Trinity,

we

will unswervingly and unmistakably tell

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:3

this light) in the past,

we

will not follow the false

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:4

in the present,

we

will not encounter the false

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:4

faith of heretics and therefore

we

will not go astray (from

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:4

the path) of good deeds,

we

will not go astray at

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:5

and the light of science,

we

learn that everything that exists

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:6

of knowledge in the present,

we

of hope for the future,

we

see (as it were) before

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 1:8

is the mystery by which

we

Christians depict the past and

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 2:2

wherefore

we

have divided our History into

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 3:21

But when

we,

having grown fat, spread out

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 3:21

turned out to be disobedient,

we

forgot our beloved God, the

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 3:22

God’s good deeds to us,

we

ceased to heed the voice

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 5:6

are Christians: we will not

see with our own eyes

said above, Bardas, nicknamed Skleros

in the eastern country, which

we

will tell about in its

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 20:8

written by the aforementioned vardapets.

We

consider it not superfluous to

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 21:5

against the Greek emperor, which

we

will tell about in due

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 23:2

we

spoke about before, at his

Ասողիկ/Asoghik 1- 24:2

we

said above, was erected on

We

we

recalled a little earlier, who

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 9:1

among (the Byzantines), as indeed

we

shall see (in the case

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 9:11

we

saw the blows of divine

we

of those mellifluous songs, now

we

We

shall speak about all of

we

commenced

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 10:36

because of that sale which

we

recalled a while earlier. It

We

shall now return to our

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:2

out of fear of them

we

learn, and they also learn

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:3

of a foreign people, for

we

had sinned against Him. But

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:3

anger would pass so that

we

would not be completely exterminated

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:4

We

became infected with the disease

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:5

after horrible evils had commenced,

we

stood trembling in shocked, horrified

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:5

march of the impious invaders.

We

regarded that good deed as

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:6

we

should have come to our

suffered by our brothers, and

we

should have hastened to learn

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:7

We

should have calmed God with

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:7

anger to pardon us. But

we

forgot about this. Nor did

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:7

the unjust He is unjust.

We

were like the wild boars

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:8

because they were guilty whereas

we

were saved because of our

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:8

because of our justice. But

we

did not recall the Lord’s

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:9

you will all likewise perish’ “[Luke 13.4-5].

We,

however, conducted ourselves according to

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:17

us. Wickedly tormented and destroyed,

we

became a spectacle for the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:17

said of the saints, and

we

have left behind us for

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:20

lo: You became angered, and

we

sinned. Therefore, we roamed in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 11:20

angered, and we sinned. Therefore,

we

roamed in slavery among many

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:12

much worthier of punishment are

we,

having them as an example

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:13

enter the kingdom of heaven” [Matthew 5.20].

We

did not surpass them in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:13

what pardon or forgiveness shall

we

have

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 12:22

lords of diocese and church,

we

found to be more than

end at this point, for

we

were unable to record every

omission look in the ruins.

We

have written the pitiful account

mountain and of the city.

We

have written only about what

have written only about what

we

saw with our own eyes

and about the wicked things

we

ourselves experienced. As for the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 13:0

would be needed for that.

We

abbreviated our (account) as much

of Pharaoh give stupid counsel” [Isaiah 19.11].

We

encountered the same thing here

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 14:4

here until you do as

we

command,” nonetheless that venerable man

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:15

How bitter was the death

we

died

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:46

have recited this so that

we

do not become disheartened when

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:46

do not become disheartened when

we

fall into unbearable difficulties. For

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:47

We

see this in the case

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 16:48

boldly after that tyrant’s insults: “

We

need not answer you

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:0

impious one ruins it” [Proverbs 29.4]. Indeed,

we

saw the validity of this

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:2

East destroyed the Christians, as

we

noted briefly above

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:9

those rebels to us or

we

shall lead your country into

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:14

very bitter was the period

we

lived in. Our life was

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:14

us, (I say) woe are

we

that must pay the debts

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:16

because of our evils, then

we

are more pitiful than all

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:16

world dwells in peace, yet

we

are slaves and captives, stabbed

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:19

the wicked inconsolable replacement which

we

received. Where are those thrones

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:26

no way. Consequently, realizing this,

we

should work to appease God

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:27

you and cast you down” [Psalms 17.41].

We

need only have peace with

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 17:28

are the Lord’s words, which

we

find in the book of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:19

Presently

we

see just the opposite: a

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:21

Let this matter rest here.

We

shall return to our sorrowful

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:24

beginning of that year which

we

recalled above with woe, troops

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:37

those dwelling within you. Here

we

have recorded but a few

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:44

of more bitter, unbelievable tortures?

We

have not encountered any in

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:46

that bad fortune. So were

we

betrayed into the hands of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:46

the Lord visit us, since

we

did not heed Him when

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:46

did not heed Him when

we

dwelled in peace

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:48

We

neglected His words. Consequently, He

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 18:49

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 19:0

we

were betrayed into the hand

Earlier

we

recalled and described what one

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:1

Him. And He commanded that (

we)

resemble him in all matters

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:1

means of good conduct. Yet

we

rebelled from our sweet and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:2

torments, He ignored us, and

we

were betrayed into the hand

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:2

who hated us ravished us;

we

were laid low, and our

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:5

and all. The only thing

we

lacked was the Sea, yet

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:5

you will also find that

we

too had our Sea. For

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:6

totally stripped and pillaged whatever

we

had, even though we had

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:6

whatever we had, even though

we

had done nothing to them

is blessed for eternity. Although

we

are devoid of good deeds

devoid of good deeds, nonetheless

we

have the right belief and

tongue of confession. Why should

we

be punished the way they

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:9

How much more pitiful are

we,

and (how much more) deserving

for the city about which

we

are now speaking, Melitene (Malatya

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:11

our nature: when growing poor,

we

grumble and blame God, while

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:11

God, while when growing rich,

we

become insolent, and like immortals

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:12

Therefore, constantly changing our condition,

we

are taught to know our

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:13

lowly than the soil? Yet

we

originated from it and return

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 21:13

with paternal counsel, but when

we

do not heed His counsel

now return to our narration

We

learned about their passage subsequently

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 22:12

We

have said enough about this

also do not accept.” Not

we

shall ferry across those (bishops

we

learned from the blessed Fathers

we

have seen from what has

it of us. Nor are

we

capable of such

your kingdom in peace, and

we

shall do the same with

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 26:1

just as in the beginning

we

had briefly occasion to discourse

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 26:5

and become corrupt. Nor did

we

hear of any talk of

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 26:9

the blessed sacrament ceased and

we

became the object of the

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 26:9

the pagans’ ridicule and insult.

We

were abused, became lost, and

Լաստիվերցի/Lastivertsi 1- 26:9

leveled to the ground; and

we

became like dried bones lacking

became lean and wasted and

are without king, prince, lord
