| On this holy feast day, the watchers were amazed in Bethlehem and sang praises because they saw Wonder [Isaiah 9:5], the Son of God, who took flesh. | ܒܗܳܢܳܐ ܥܺܝܕܳܐ ܩܰܕܺܝܫܳܐ ܆ ܬܗܰܪܘ ܗ̱ܘܰܘ ܥܺܝܪ̈ܶܐ ܒܒܶܝܬ ܠܚܶܡ ܆ ܘܫܰܒܰܚܘ ܕܰܚܙܰܘ ܬܶܕܡܘܽܪܬܳܐ ܆ ܘܒܰܪ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܕܶܐܬܓܰܫܰܡ ܀ |
| The Lord of all lies in a manger and is wrapped in swaddling clothes, and the watchers and people are startled because the Son of God took flesh. | ܡܰܓܶܣ ܒܐܘܽܪܝܳܐ ܡܳܪܶܐ ܟܽܠ ܆ ܘܰܟܪܺܝܟ ܢܰܚ̈ܬܶܐ ܕܥܰܙܪܘܽܪ̈ܶܐ ܆ ܘܰܪܗܺܝܒܺܝܢ ܥܺܝܪ̈ܶܐ ܘܐ̱ܢܳܫ̈ܳܐ ܆ ܕܒܰܪ ܐܰܠܳܗܳܐ ܕܶܐܬܓܰܫܰܡ ܀ |
| Glory be to Your Manifestation from Mary, [O] Hidden One, you who came for our redemption, who put on a body from Mary, and who, by it, saved us from going astray. | ܫܘܽܒܚܳܐ ܠܕܶܢܚܳܟ ܕܡܶܢ ܡܰܪܝܰܡ ܆ ܟܰܣܝܳܐ ܕܶܐܬܳܐ ܠܦܘܽܪܩܳܢܰܢ ܆ ܕܰܠܒܶܫܬ ܦܰܓܪܳܐ ܡܶܢ ܡܰܪܝܰܡ ܆ ܘܒܶܗ ܦܪܰܩܬܰܢ ܡܶܢ ܛܳܥܝܘܽܬܳܐ ܀ |
