Кондак Предтечи
глас 3
Прежде неплоды днесь Христова Предтечу раждает,/ и той есть исполнение всякаго пророчества:/ Егоже бо пророцы проповедаша,/ на Сего во Иордане руку положив,/ явися Божия Слова пророк, проповедник,// вкупе и Предтеча.
Kontakion of the Forerunner
voice 3
Before the unproductive days of Christ, the Forerunner gives rise to, / and that is the fulfillment of every prophecy: / His prophets are preaching, / putting his hand on Him in the Jordan, / God's Word is a prophet, a preacher, // together and the Forerunner.
