Armenian (Transliteration) English (Translation)
Kezi gukam hayr Astvadz
Ter im kordzis chi'sk'sadz
Kh'ntrem dur indz ugh yev ser
Lav sorvelu im taser
Yev char panen ov Hisus
Bahe im sird's, lezus, hokis, amen
I come to you Lord Father
Not having yet begun my work
Please give me the strength and love
To learn my lessons well
And from evil, Jesus
Keep my heart, tongue, and soul, amen.
Hima yes vor bargim
Bidi Hisus aghotk 'nem kezi
Polor mekhker's tun nere
Yev ays kisher zis bashbane
Tevor noren yes chiart'nam
Sh'noravore der kov't kam, amen
Now that I lay down to sleep
I am going to pray to you Jesus
Please forgive all my sins
And protect me this night
And if I do not awaken again
Please bring me to your side, amen
Yerginkin tur' pats e
Voski ator t'rvadz e
Kristos vran n'stadz e
Medz u b'zdig g' k're
Artarnere g' kh'ntan
Meghavorner' gulan, amen
The door to heaven is open
A golden chair is placed there
Jesus is seated upon it
He writes big and small
The righteous laugh
The sinful cry, amen
