Lyrics
لَمّا تَجَلَّيتَ
أيّها المسيحُ الإلٰهُ في الجبل
أظهَرتَ مَجدَكَ لِلتّلاميذِ
حَسبَ ما استَطاعوا
( Lammaa tajallayta,
’ayyuhaa l-Masiy7u l-’Ilaahu, fiy l-jabal,
’aẓharta majdaka lit-talaamiydhi
7asba maa staṭaa3uw. )
When You transfigured,
O Christ the God, at the mountain,
You shown Your glory to the disciples,
as per what they could (handle).
فأشرِق لنا
نَحنُ الخطأة نورَكَ الأزليّ
بِشَفاعاتِ والِدةِ الإله
( Fa’ashriq lanaa,
na7nu l-khaṭa’ah, nuwraka l-’azaliyy,
bi-shafaa3aati Waalidati l-’Ilaah. )
So make it shine for us,
we the sinners, Your eternal light,
by the intercessions of the Theotokos.
يا مانِحَ النّورِ المَجدُ لك
( Yaa Maani7a n-Nuwri l-majdu lak. )
O Giver of light, the glory is Yours.

17:1-6
[ الكتاب المقدس (AVD) ]
وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ أَخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطْرُسَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَيُوحَنَّا أَخَاهُ وَصَعِدَ بِهِمْ إِلَى جَبَلٍ عَالٍ مُنْفَرِدِينَ.
وَتَغَيَّرَتْ هَيْئَتُهُ قُدَّامَهُمْ، وَأَضَاءَ وَجْهُهُ كَٱلشَّمْسِ، وَصَارَتْ ثِيَابُهُ بَيْضَاءَ كَٱلنُّورِ.
وَإِذَا مُوسَى وَإِيلِيَّا قَدْ ظَهَرَا لَهُمْ يَتَكَلَّمَانِ مَعَهُ.
فَجَعَلَ بُطْرُسُ يَقُولُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يَا رَبُّ، جَيِّدٌ أَنْ نَكُونَ هَهُنَا! فَإِنْ شِئْتَ نَصْنَعْ هُنَا ثَلَاثَ مَظَالَّ: لَكَ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلِمُوسَى وَاحِدَةٌ، وَلِإِيلِيَّا وَاحِدَةٌ».
وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ إِذَا سَحَابَةٌ نَيِّرَةٌ ظَلَّلَتْهُمْ، وَصَوْتٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّحَابَةِ قَائِلًا: «هَذَا هُوَ ٱبْنِي ٱلْحَبِيبُ ٱلَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ. لَهُ ٱسْمَعُوا».
وَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلتَّلَامِيذُ سَقَطُوا عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ وَخَافُوا جِدًّا.
Matthew 17:1-6
[ English Standard Version (ESV) ]
And after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him.
And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You wish, I will make three tents here, one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him.”
When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified.
