週年聖頌集:宗徒月二十五日

神聖的義德殉道者斐布若尼亞

This Martyr practised the ascetic discipline in Nisibis of Mesopotamia; she was of such great beauty that the report of her came to the persecutor Selenus, and every attempt was made to make her deny Christ. After many horrible tortures, she was cruelly dismembered by the executioners, then beheaded, in the year 310 (or, according to some, in 302, during the reign of Diocletian).

這位殉道者在美索不達米亞的尼西彼過著修行生活;她長得極為美麗,以至於迫害教會的塞勒努斯聽到了有關她的報告,就試圖讓她否認基督。她受了許多可怕的酷刑,被劊子手殘忍地肢解,然後被斬首,時在主後310年(也有人說是302年,在戴克里先統治時期)。

遣散頌(殉道者)
第四調式 若瑟驚奇不已

O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: * O my Bridegroom, Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, * and with thy baptism am crucified and buried. * I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; * for Thy sake I die, that I may live in Thee: * accept me offered out of longing * to Thee as a spotless sacrificel. * Lord, save our souls through her intercessions, since Thou art great in mercy.

主耶穌,祢的羔羊向祢高呼:我的淨配,我愛祢;現在,我為尋求祢而競賽,藉著祢的聖洗,我被釘十字架,並被埋葬。我為祢受苦,好能與祢一起為王;我為祢而死,好能與祢一起生活,我因渴望祢而獻上自己,作為無玷的祭品,求祢接納。主啊,因她的代禱,求祢拯救我的靈魂,因為祢富於仁慈。

集禱頌 第三調式
今天,童貞女

In ascetic discipline, * thou wast made fair as a virgin; * then, O famed Febronia, * thou shonest forth as a martyr; * with thy lamp in hand, thou rannest * unto thy Bridegroom, * having watched throughout the night of martyric suff’rings. * And since thou art crowned in glory, * thou intercedest * for them that praise thee with faith.

名聞遐邇的斐布若尼亞,你在修行訓練中,如同美麗的童貞女,在殉道的苦難中徹夜守候,手持明燈,奔向你的淨配。你已戴上了榮耀的冠冕,求你為懷著信德讚頌你的人轉求。
