[jckstraw72]

could anyone translate this hymn i came across on a Greek blog, please? thank you in advance

Τω Σεραφείμ της Πλατίνης ευηκοήσωμεν, όστις, φερώνυμος ρόδων, άρωμα πνέει Θεού και ως ρόδον παραδείσου νυν εξήνθησεν. Ος, εκ βορβόρου των παθών ανεδύθη καθαρός ως τίμιος μαργαρίτης και συνειδήσεις πυρσεύει πυρσώ ρημάτων και δογμάτων Χριστού.

Well, I'd give you Google translate's translation, but it doesn't make much sense. Sorry.

 

[jckstraw72]

haha yeah, thats why im asking on here

 

[Kristos]

Is outrage! Must be translated into Slavonic first!

 

[SeraphimSarov]

Is outrage! Must be translated into Slavonic first!

Is outrage! Why wasn't it in Slavonic to begin with?

 

[jckstraw72]

got it from a user on monachos. good to go.

 

[SeraphimSarov]

So what did it say?

 

[jckstraw72]

Let us listen carefully to Seraphim of Platina - who emits the fragrance of God and now he has flourished as a rose in paradise (as he also bears the name of the rose).

(Let us listen carefully) since he came out clean through a muck of passions, like a precious pearl and he set minds on fire with fiery words and teachings of Christ.

 

[AndreasProtoklitos]

Beautiful! I love it. Thank you for sharing.

In Christ,
Andrew

 

[AndreasProtoklitos]

To the OP, I can't find the hymn on there. Do you happen to know what tone it's in?

In Christ,
Andrew

 

[Kristos]

the liturgical use of "fragrance" always interests me...

as opposed to "strange fire"...

 

[jckstraw72]

sorry, its on here APROGRAMMATISTA: Ο ΒΙΟΣ ΤΟΥ ΑΓΙΟΥ Σεραφείμ του Ρόουζ (1931-1982) .... but i dont think it says what tone it is in.

 

[Kristos]

Obviously, it's Tone 9!

 

[ArmyMatt]

Let us listen carefully to Seraphim of Platina - who emits the fragrance of God and now he has flourished as a rose in paradise (as he also bears the name of the rose).

(Let us listen carefully) since he came out clean through a muck of passions, like a precious pearl and he set minds on fire with fiery words and teachings of Christ.

sounds pretty awesome, thanks!

 

[AndreasProtoklitos]

Found it, but I can't post it because I have too few posts. It's in Plagal of the 1st. I can't wait until someone composes a service to the Blessed Seraphim.

In Christ,
Andrew

 

[jckstraw72]

in case you are unaware, there is an Akathist with a tropar and kontakion written to him Akathists: Akathist to Blessed Seraphim

"mire" of passions! Not "muck"!

 

[Ariadne_GR]

I was just about to do this for you but I see you already got it!

 

[Dewi Sant]

YES!

Fascinates me too.

Reading Pseudo-Dionysius' Mystical Theology and Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, the use of fragrance in the West Syriac church of the early middle-ages was profound. Pseudo-Dionysius speaks of the emitting fragrance of the myron as symbolic of the fragrance of wisdom. Namely, that it cannot be seen, but, by palette, adored.

I only wrote a short essay on it but would enjoy an in-depth study, especially now my [Ancient/Koine] Greek is vastly improved.
