Эпитафия и краткое изложение своей жизни
Machine translation from the original · Show original
My King, Christ, why am I shrouded in the snares of flesh,
Why was he placed in a life full of sorrows?
The godlike father gave birth to me with a glorious mother -
I was born only through her prayer.
My mother prayed and dedicated me to God as a baby.
In a wonderful vision at night, I found a craving for virginity.
Christ did all this. And then I rushed along the waves;
He suffered a lot from predators; I was exhausted with my body.
The shepherds were hostile; sometimes I was betrayed;
Chad I lost mine; was oppressed by troubles.
This is what life is like for Gregory. The rest will be fine
Life-Giver Christ. Write this on the stones.
