Image of Takla ʾIyyasus of Dabra Dəmāḥ

O ʾƎgziʾabəḥer, fire of Horeb which you read, which with wind and earth, with water of the south, you kindled. Send to me your spirit and the Holy Spirit of your Father, so that I may recite the image of you, for Takla ʾIyyasus, your servant, for he is your wisdom and Adam, your servant. Salutation to the memory of your name, which was called from his youth, by the mouth of angels and men, who put on the garment of baptism. Takla ʾIyyasus is Christ, and Takla ʾIyyasus is ʾIyyasu. Save your children, that they may flee to the side of ʾAryam, from the furnace of fire, terrible and great. Salutation to your neck, which accepted suffering, with praise and lamentation. Takla ʾIyyasus, sweet one, to Dabra Səḫən and Dabra Kərbe. Guard your children, the cunning of wisdom, the cleverness. Before angels and men, Marqorewos said. Salutation to your tomb, for your humanity, a dwelling, within Dabra Dəmāḥ, holy, your prayer which preserved. Takla ʾIyyasus, sweet one, with the sweetness of the virgin, the dwelling of Saba. Bless with your cross your monastery, Wāldəba, and raise up for your dweller, ʾƎbrawit, her lamentation.

Salutation to the resurrection of your flesh at the hour of the latter night, while I am this one who remembers you. Takla ʾIyyasus the looser and Takla ʾIyyasus the binder, teach on my behalf, for he is merciful. Is it not that we have known him as a dweller among the honored? Praise to the Father by this end which has brought me to completion. Adoration to the Son by the blood of his side which has marked me. And to the Holy Spirit, great, who has strengthened me from the weakness of the flesh. Praise to Mary, who surpasses all, for she is not among creatures, is it not that she is the one who suffices? Salutation to you, Takla ʾIyyasus, Moses on Mount Dəmāḥ, Sinai. At every time, bring down your blessing, manna, from your voice, the belly of the cloud. Salutation to you, as you save us, come, from our enemies, the dividers, by your prayer, the spear, and your righteousness, the cloak. Takla ʾIyyasus of Golgotha. Salutation to you, Takla ʾIyyasus, the myrrh, and Takla ʾIyyasus, the Abyssinian, as you bless us with your cross of Rome, for your people, the men of Salome.
