Hymn to God, thanksgiving and supplication 1 What was meant for me After all, the wound is so serious that That Himself comes to me, invisible 3, Into the ditch of disastrous passions; Give, Savior 5 languages, Turn them back, something Yes, seven-part 9 Your fire 11 patients with leprosy – cleared; Having given strength to relaxation; And, also, the Holy Spirit 12! Hymn-prayer to the Holy Trinity 13 Dear Spirit, - three-sun 14 - An image for me - remember me 15! Savior, protect from misfortune 16! MPG 91, 1417–1420. Russian translation of the first hymn by St. Maximus the Confessor was made by Evgeny Volokhin, in general, from Italian; however, when working, the translator, as far as possible, also consulted the Greek and Latin texts of Migne’s “Patrology”. In Greek – τής εικό ν ος – “image.” In Greek – ξ έ ν ος – “alien, alien, strange.” Obviously, this is an anthropomorphic relative epithet. Indeed, before His Incarnation, in a certain sense, God the Word was less close to us. “Great, strong” (c.-glorious). “Savior of Nations” (ts.-slav.). “Beliar” is one of the names of the devil (Heb. בּ ל יּ על - “worthless, wicked, depraved, depraved”). This obviously refers to the seven measures of the Holy Spirit mentioned in Isa. 11:2. In Greek – π αίδω ν τριώ ν κα μ ί ν ου – “the oven of the three youths” (see: Dan. 3). MPG 91, 1424. Russian translation of the third hymn by Rev. Maxim was made by Evgeny Volokhin from Latin. Greek τρισἡλιό &#962, lat. ter sol. “Fierce misfortune” - lat. omnis dirus turbo. What this phrase means in this context is unclear.
