Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text

Pre-revolutionary spelling:
Рождество Твое Христе Боже нашъ,
возсія мірови свѣтъ разума:
въ немъ бо звѣздамъ служащіи, звѣздою учахуся.
Тебѣ кланятися, Солнцу правды,
и Тебе вѣдѣти съ высоты Востока:
Господи, слава Тебѣ.

Дѣва днесь Пресущественнаго раждаетъ,
и земля вертепъ Неприступномы приноситъ,
ангели съ пастырьми славословятъ,
волсви же со звѣздою путешествуютъ:
чацъ бо ради родися Отроча младо,
превѣчный Богъ.

Post-revolutionary spelling:
Рождество Твое, Христе Боже наш,
возсия мирови свет разума,
в нем бо звездам служащии, звездою учахуся.
Тебе кланятися, Солнцу правды,
и Тебе ведети с высоты Востока.
Господи, слава Тебе.

Дева днесь Пресущественнаго раждает,
и земля вертеп Неприступному приносит;
Ангели с пастырьми славословят,
волсви же со звездою путешествуют,
нас бо ради родися Отроча младо,
Превечный Бог.

English translation

Troparion: Thy Nativity, O Christ our God, has shone upon the world with the light of knowledge:
for thereby they who adored the stars, through a star were taught to worship thee, the Sun of Righteousness,
and to know thee, the Dayspring from on high. O Lord, glory to thee.

Kontakion: Today the Virgin gives birth to him who is above all being, and the earth offers a cave to him
whom no man can approach. Angels with shepherds give glory, and magi journey with a star.
For unto us is born a young child, the pre-eternal God.
