"Hisoos dzunav yev haytnetsav!", as they say according to the Armenian tradition, which keeps the very old practice of celebrating the Nativity and Epiphany on the same day. And today is that blessed and holy day! Let us glorify Him Who is born and revealed!
Khorhoort medz yev uhskanchelee (Great and Wonderous Mystery)
[sung by Varoujan Markarian; English translation from here]
+ Great and wondrous mystery that was revealed today. The shepherds sing with the angels, giving good news to the world.
+ A new king was born in the city of Bethlehem. Praise, children of humanity, for he took body for us.
+ The One who cannot be bounded by heaven or earth was wrapped in swaddling clothes. Never parting from the Father, he lay in the holy cave.
+ Today heaven above delights in the dazzling good news, and all creatures have been clothed in salvation.
+ Today Christ the Son of God was presented in the cave, and the multitudes of fiery [angels] descended from heaven to earth.
+ Today the shepherds beheld the sun of righteousness, and with the angels they sang, “Glory to God in the highest.”
+ You shone from the Father to give light to creatures. O Lord, Sun of righteousness, glory to you.
+ You revealed yourself to the shepherds, and were adored by the magi. O Lord, Sun of righteousness, glory to you.
+ Let us, too, sing [to you], who took body from the Virgin. O Lord, Sun of righteousness, glory to you.
+ Adored by magi, you appeared to shepherds. O Lord, Sun of righteousness, glory to you.
+ We also will sing to you, born of the Virgin. O Lord, Sun of righteousness, glory to you.
Խորհուրդ մեծ և սքանչելի Որ յայսմ աւուր յայտնեցաւ, Հովիւքն երգեն ընդ հրեշտակս` Տան աւետիս աշխարհի: Ծնաւ նոր արքայ Ի Բեթղեհեմ քաղաքի, Որդիք մարդկան, օրհնեցէք, Զի վասն մեր մարմնացաւ: Անբաւելին երկնի և երկրի Ի խանձարուրս պատեցաւ, Ոչ մեկնելով ի հօրէ` Ի սուրբ այրին բազմեցաւ
