Saul, being helped by David, and being worked upon by you, was all the more armed for the murder.

Having you, the sons of Jacob sent the most beautiful and splendid Joseph to dizzying Egypt, and sold the free man as a slave; and not even the dreams frightened them; for a divine vision revealed him to be an image of Christ; for he was worshipped by eleven stars in visions; since also the betrayer Judas, moved by envy, hanged himself. But let us, having fled from envy, the begetter of death, having risen up, glorify the God who is worshipped in Trinity; for to him belongs the power, the honor, and the glory, and the majesty, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Σαοὺλ ὑπὸ τοῦ ∆αυῒδ βοηθούμενος, καὶ ὑπὸ σοῦ ἐνεργούμενος, μειζόνως πρὸς τὸν φόνον ὡπλίζετο.

Σὲ ἐσχηκότες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ἰακὼβ, τὸν περικαλλῆ καὶ λαμπρὸν Ἰωσὴφ εἰς τὴν σκοτοδινιῶσαν Αἴγυπτον ἔπεμπον, καὶ τὸν ἐλεύθερον ὡς δοῦλον ἐπίπρασκον· καὶ οὔτε τὰ ἐνύπνια αὐτοὺς ἐφόβησε· θεῖον γὰρ ὅραμα ἐμήνυσε Χριστοῦ εἰκόνα αὐτὸν ὑπάρχειν· ὑπὸ γὰρ ἕνδεκα ἀστέρων ἐν ὁράμασι προσεκυνεῖτο· ἐπειδὴ καὶ ὁ προδότης Ἰούδας τῷ φθόνῳ κινούμενος, ἀπήγξατο. Ἡμεῖς δὲ φυγόντες τὸν τοῦ θανάτου γεννήτορα φθόνον, ἀναστάντες τῷ ἐν Τριάδι προσκυνουμένῳ Θεῷ δοξάσωμεν· ὅτι αὐτῷ πρέπει τὸ κράτος, ἡ τιμὴ, καὶ ἡ δόξα, καὶ ἡ μεγαλοπρέπεια, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
