Rugaciuni in lb. engleza

nu cred ca e cineva pe-aici specialist in engleza veche. Thy nu se foloseste deloc in ziua de azi decat in rugaciunea Tatal nostru.

NB: am citit si eu explicatiile din Webster si mi se par rezonabile. cuvant arhaic datand din sec. XII, care exprima genitivul de la thou (mai tarziu devenit you) fiind folosit in special in limbajul ecleziastic si literar, si uneori familiar.

Bineinteles ca o traducere corecta schimba continutul textului de tradus, altfel nu se poate. Maiestria traducatorului consta in cat din intelesul initial al textului se pastreaza in traducere, avand in vedere ca fiecare limba are particularitatile ei de nuanta.

Cand vine vorba de texte apartinand registrului stiintific sau juridico-administrativ, munca traducatorului este si mai dificila, deoarece o cat de mica gresala poate avea consecinte serioase.

Textele sacre prezinta si ele un grad mare de dificultate la traducere, pentru ca la urma urmei reprezinta si ele texte juridice, legi ale divinitatii. Mai punem la socolteala si faptul ca limba din care se traduce este demult moarta si lipsesc vorbitorii ei pentru a distinge caracteristicile vernaculare si nivelul de dificultate al traducerii creste vertiginos.

In cazul rugaciunilor crestine, aproape nimeni dintre noi nu cunoaste limbile din vechime, astfel incat sa patrunda macar partial intelesul textului original. De aceea un bun exercitiu pentru cei ce cunosc si alte limbi decat romana este sa compare diverse traduceri ale diverselor texte sacre cu traducerile romanesti, in incercarea de a-si face o parere despre cum ar fi aratat de fapt textul initial.

"Bless this day which Thou hast given me, Thy unworthy servant, and with the power of Thy blessing, permit me at all times, and in every place, with pure heart, to speak and act unto Thy glory, with patience, wise humility and love, in the spirit of peace, meekness, magnanimity and wisdom, and to regard Thee before my own needs. Make known to me, O Lord, the way of Thy will, according to Thy boundless goodness, and grant me to walk blamelessly before Thy face."

Our most gracious Queen (Imparateasa noastra preabuna)
Our most gracious Queen, our hope, O Theotokos, Who receivest the orphaned and art the intercessor for the stranger; the joy of those in sorrow, protectress of the wronged, see our distress, see our affliction! Help us, for we are helpless. Feed us, for we are strangers and pilgrims. Thou knowest our offences; forgive them, and resolve them as Thou dost will. For we know no other help but Thee, no other intercessor, no gracious comforter, only Thee, O Theotokos to guard and protect us for ages of ages. Amen.

A Prayer of the Optina Elders (Rugaciunea de dimineata a Staretilor de la Optina):
O Lord, grant me strength to meet with serenity everything forthcoming today. Grant me to submit completely to Thy holy will. At every hour of this day guide and support me in all things. Whatsoever news may reach me in the course of this day, teach me to accept it with calmness and the conviction that all is subject to Thy holy will.

In all my words and actions direct my thoughts and feelings. In all unexpected occurances, do not let me forget that all is sent down by Thee. Teach me to deal straightforwardly and wisely with every member of my family, neither embarassing nor saddening anyone.

O Lord, grant me strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events that take place during it. Direct my will and teach me to pray, to believe, to hope, to be patient, to forgive and to love. Amen.

O Virgin Pure

by St. Nectarios


O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos
O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy
More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens
Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels.
Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun's light
More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav'nly armies.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!

O Ever Virgin Mary/ of all the world, the Lady
O bride all pure, immaculate/ O Lady Panagia
O Mary bride and Queen of all/ our cause of jubilation
Majestic maiden, Queen of all/ O our most holy Mother
More hon'rable than Cherubim/ beyond compare more glorious
than immaterial Seraphim/ and greater than angelic thrones.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!

Rejoice, O song of Cherubim/ Rejoice, O hymn of angels
Rejoice, O ode of Seraphim/ the joy of the archangels
Rejoice, O peace and happiness/ the harbor of salvation
O sacred chamber of the Word/ flow'r of incorruption
Rejoice, delightful paradise/ of blessed life eternal
Rejoice, O wood and tree of life/ the fount of immortality.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!

I supplicate you, Lady/ now do I call upon you
And I beseech you, Queen of all/ I beg of you your favor
Majestic maiden, spotless one/ O Lady Panagia
I call upon you fervently/ O sacred, hallowed temple
Assist me and deliver me/ protect me from the enemy
And make me an inheritor/ of blessed life eternal.
Rejoice, O Bride Unwedded!
