Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text (transliterated) Volsvi, Persidstii tsarie, poznavshe yave na zemli rozhagosya Tsarya nebesnago? ot sfetliya zvezdy vodimi, dostigofsha v Vifljeem, dary nosyashe izbranniya: zlato i livan i smirnu. I padshe, poklonishasya: videsha bo v vertepe Mladentsa lezashcha bezletnago.

English translation Magi, Persian Kings, having clearly learnt that the heavenly King had been born on earth, drawn by a bright star arrived in Bethlehem, bringing chosen gifts: gold and incense and myrrh. And falling down they worshipped, for they saw lying in the Cave the Timeless as a babe.
