Original text and translations

Church Slavonic text Tropar 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! Kondak 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 Your birth, O Christ our God Has shed upon the world the light of knowledge; For through it, those who worship the stars Have learned from a star to worship You, the Sun of Justice And to recognize You as the Orient From On High. Glory be to You, O Lord. Kondakion Today the Virgin gives birth to the Trancendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the unapproachable One! Angels with shepherds glorify Him! The Wise men journey with the Star! Since for our sake the Eternal God was born as a little child!
