Аврамий мученик Болгарский. Из ислама ко Христу 5х

Авраамий мученик Болгарский
Из ислама - принял христианство,
И за проповедь свою Христа
Мучим был народом там болгарским.

Между Камой и рекою Волгой
Камская Болгария была,
А потом народность та сольется
с нашими татарами. Их град

Назван был Великие Болгары,
Только он впоследствии сгорел.
Наши летописцы написали -
Бог их наказал за зло их вер

И за то, что заключен в темницу
Был Аврамий, и потом ему
Руки, ноги отсекли за веру
Во Христа, и отсекли главу.

Только мощи у него - нетленны,
Их хранили с Мурома купцы,
И перенесли их во Владимир,
А потом в Княгинин монастырь.

***

Abraham, the Martyr of Bulgaria
He became a Christian from Islam;
For his preaching of Christ, he has suffered
by his citizens Bulgarians.

Inbetween the Kama and the Volga
Kamskaya Bulgaria has layed;
Later, however, they would merge with
our own Tatars. Their town named

"Great Bolgar" — Was then consumed by fire.
Our chroniclers recorded that
God has punished them, for Avraamy
Suffered for his faith from their hands,

For the fact that was cast to prison;
later, for his strongest faith in Christ,
they severed his hands and severed
His feet — and severed his head at last.

Yet his holy relics new no decay;
Murom's Merchants took and preserved them,
And transported them first to Vladimir,
later to the Knyaginin Convent.
