Megalynarion of Pentecost -- Ode 9 -- Barys Mode (Greek, English)

Μὴ τῆς φθορᾶς διαπείρα κυοφορήσασα, καὶ παντεχνήμονι Λόγῳ σάρκα δανείσασα, Μῆτερ ἀπείρανδρε, Παρθένε Θεοτόκε, δοχεῖον τοῦ ἀστέκτου, χωρίον τοῦ ἀπείρου πλαστουργοῦ σου, σὲ μεγαλύνομεν. [Without sustaining corruption you still conceived a child, and lent your flesh to the Word and general Artificer. Mother who knew no man, O Virgin Theotokos, receptacle and space of your uncontained and infinite Creator, you do we magnify.] Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee. The fire breathing of old, zealot Elijah, joyfully mounted and rode on a seething and fiery chariot. Thus he prefigured the descent now of the Spirit from on high upon the Apostles; By whom they were enlightened, and made the Trinity known unto all. Doxa Si, o Theos imon, doxa Si. A strange event that defied the law of nature was audible. For the one voice of the Disciples resounded through the grace of the Spirit: the peoples, tribes and tongues all heard the mighty works of God, and were initiated into the knowledge of the Trinity.
