Russian for "Lord have mercy" ?

[Theophan_C]

How do you say "Lord have mercy" in Russian (Slavonic?).    If you could give a transliteration as well as the cyrillic that would be great !   

[Punch]

Gospodi pomilui

[LBK]

Господи, помилуй.

[Theophan_C]

wow, that was quick.  thank you both

[Tikhon.of.Colorado]

I've also heard "Bozhe Pomilui," and then there's "Bozhe/Gospodi Pomilui Nas."

Боже, помилуй

Боже/Господи, помилуй нас

[LBK]

I've also heard "Bozhe Pomilui," and then there's "Bozhe/Gospodi Pomilui Nas."

Боже, помилуй

Боже/Господи, помилуй нас

Bozhe pomiluy is never used liturgically. Neither is Khritsye pomiluy.  

[Theophan_C]

I've also heard "Bozhe Pomilui," and then there's "Bozhe/Gospodi Pomilui Nas."

Боже, помилуй

Боже/Господи, помилуй нас

Bozhe pomiluy is never used liturgically. Neither is Khritsye pomiluy.  

Господи, помилуй is used liturgically?  what's the transliteration for this? Gospodi pomilui ?

is Господи, помилуй Slavonic or Russian or both in this case?  obviously I know nothing of either

Gospodi, pomiluy (Господи, помилуй) is constantly used liturgically. The first words of a foreign liturgical language one learns is Lord, have mercy in that language, simply because it is repeated so often in every type of service.  

[Theophan_C]

that's great, thanks...

last thing:  is Господи, помилуй Russian, Slavonic or both?

[Alive]

that's great, thanks...

last thing:  is Господи, помилуй Russian, Slavonic or both?

yep, as well for most other slavics...

also Romanian use "MILUeshte" what is close sound to "poMILUY" , same root.

Issue is it is may be far from "eleison" ....

"Slavic" Pray of tax collector also use "MILostiv" but it is not "ἐλέησον" but "ἱλάσθητί" and have not same meaning... so it is sad Slavics loosing  real meaning.... as well as English.... non of those words is "mercy" ... people pray and do not know what they asking ....

[LizaSymonenko]

Господи, помилуй is the same in Ukrainian.

However, pronounced with an H - Hospody Pomylooy!

[Αριστοκλής]

What is the Rusyn pronunciation?

[Alive]

Господи, помилуй is the same in Ukrainian.

However, pronounced with an H - Hospody Pomylooy!

"H" ... rubbish.

 Х (H) for  Хлiб not for (G) Господь , just as it is BoG, not BoH. and HLIB not GLIB, HLIV (хлiв) not GLIV (глiв), GLYNA not HLYNA, HVYLYA not GVYLYA.

You need to learn speak Ukrainian first....

[Alive]

What is the Rusyn pronunciation?

there are is not "Russian" or "Ukrainian" ...  each village have own fanny accent ...

all current myth about "russian" or "ukrainian" or "belorussina" is just geo-political play game to ruin orthodoxy.

Slight aside, I know, but the Romanian is 'Doamne miluieşte' which sounds like (roughly) 'DWAM-neh mee-loo-YESH-teh'. You're correct about the root (it's 'a milui' from Slavonic 'milovati') but what you describe as the pronunciation is rather off. You've missed the 'y' sound completely and it appears as though you're stressing the wrong syllable, though you may have meant something different by the capitalisation.

There are two separate "H" sounds. 

Х = хліб   Khleeb with a soft "H" sound.

1. Romanian/moldavian sound like "Dom-ne" - it is from latin. Mee-loo-y is slavic.  and "yesh" - is coomon slavic ends... Romanian/moldovian use slavic alfabet till 150 years ago (or so).

2. Meelooy/miluy (mercy)  have no relation to "eleison" ... and it is KEY message ...  no matter , we like it or not. It is why Latin still keep "kirie eleison" , for there are not equal translation at Europe...

so slavic "Gospodi Pomiluy" - is wrong translation. Just as same as slavic and romanian/moldovian  creed about "sobornaya" -  CATHOLIC church is wrong too.

1. Ukrainian Orthodox live in Ukraine , not in USA.

In USA live Americans.


2. One who you call "Ukrainians" NEVER use Ukrainian as liturgical, because each village speaks own language. "Ukraine" - is fake , just same as "Russia".

Russia 20 years old state as well as Ukraine.
before that was USSR for 70.
before that Russian Empire for about 200.
before that every city was on they own SELF GOVERNING order.

You like it or not - it is reality.

No Ukraine ever -ever -ever was in the map till now.



so in Church people pray "slavic" , home people speak any way one like to and feel comfortable, depending how much gorilka, they drink.  so and that is CHECK and MATE.

Yes Doamne is from Latin, but no it doesn't like 'Dom-ne'. It sounds like I described earlier - the o and a are run together with o being roughly equivalent to a soft English 'w' as a result. A milui is indeed from Slavonic as I clearly said but the 'este' ending is not - it's Latin based grammar welded on a Slavonic root. I speak the language pretty fluently. It seems to me that you have no more than a passing acquaintance with it. As for the Cyrillic alphabet - you're out on the years but essentially correct. So what?

2. Meelooy/miluy (mercy)  have no relation to "eleison" ... and it is KEY message ...  no matter , we like it or not. It is why Latin still keep "kirie eleison" , for there are not equal translation at Europe...

Somehow I doubt that you know what you're talking about. If I look up the meaning of 'Kyrie eleison' I find it means 'Lord have mercy'. 'Doamne miluieşte' certainly means the same (though the vocative grammar used makes it rather more emphatic than in English). Unless you can demonstrate a rather better grasp of Greek than you have of Romanian I have no reason to take your claim seriously. What do you think is wrong with the translation?

so slavic "Gospodi Pomiluy" - is wrong translation. Just as same as slavic and romanian/moldovian  creed about "sobornaya" -  CATHOLIC church is wrong too.

Why do think that? 'Sobornicesc' in Romanian is certainly the correct way to translate the catholic of the Creed (as it means according to the whole). The alternative, 'catolic', would be entirely wrong as that refers to the Roman Catholic Church only.

Incidentally, if you think that tracing back roots of words in one language to another informs you of the correct meaning of derived word currently then you need to brush up on your knowledge of linguistics.

My dear,

You apparently don't really know me, otherwise, you would be well aware that I put Orthodoxy well above my love of nation, to the point that I have offended many Ukrainians.

However, since this thread is about Slavic languages and such, I will explain my Ukrainian point of view.

Furthermore, you need to relax.  The Orthodox Church is already One.  If you recall, during Pentecost the disciples were given the gift of language.  This leads me to believe that God doesn't wish to abolish the nations, just to reach all of them....using languages that the people living their will understand.

Therefore, your battle against Ukrainian or Romanian or whatever your true point is (which I have yet to deduce) is moot.  God will abolish what He wishes to abolish in His time....not yours....and He will nurture what He wishes to nurture.

this is way off topic but as the OP I'll throw it in apropos of nothing...

When I was 6 or 7  I came home from school one day and asked my mom if we were Ukranians because I knew her mother was born in Odessa and I looked a little like other Ukranian kids in my school.  Her shock really surprised me because I didn't know any better or different and would have been fine with whatever the answer was.  She looked hard at me and emphatically said "we are Russians! - don't let anyone tell you you're Ukranian"!   I gathered from this it must be better to be Russian apparently but I had no idea why and I still don't.    Господи, помилуй.

no worries there... I'm not about to limit anyone who actually is something.  I envy them whatever they are.  The "melting pot" culture I grew up in "did a real number" on me.  I don't feel like anything but I might have some emotional patterns that carried over generations?  Some day I'd like to visit Slavic countries and see. 

[Punch]

Therefore, your battle against Ukrainian or Romanian or whatever your true point is (which I have yet to deduce) is moot.  God will abolish what He wishes to abolish in His time....not yours....and He will nurture what He wishes to nurture.

Not to further spill the ethnographic worms of emnity, but there are a lot of Russians living in Ukraine and a lot of Ukrainians living in Russia. Sometimes, you can tell one from the other by last names. Sometimes by language (thought many Ukrainians don't speak Ukrainian), but mostly it seems to me it's more about self-identification. And you can't really argue about that. I mean, you could, but your varenniki will get bloody, and that's just awful to contemplate.

I knew about the Ukrainian use of H (both hard and soft) well before we emigrated to the United States. I must say that, as a Bulgarian, it is exceedingly odd that this is done, just as odd as the Russian substitution of the "shwa" sound for unaccepted vowels. I am very fond of he Kuban Kossack Choir and it just bothers me every time that its director is introduced as Victor Zakharchenka! Why would anyone use the feminine ending "ka" for Zakharchenko?

1. You right , it is extrimly odd. simple people who live in villages, abused by government with all this grammatical innovation. Most people in the villages speak no "ukreinin" nor "russian".

This is done when transliterating X from a Slavic language or Greek to English. The English H is softer than the X of Greek or Slavic languages, so the KH tells the reader to pronounce it more heavily than the normal English H.

Pomiluj - is mercy - YES. eleison is not mercy.

Catholic means 'according to the whole'. Conciliar (i.e. holding to the faith of the whole Church as expressed in council) seems a perfectly reasonable way to translate the Orthodox understanding of that idea into a different language. We don't understand Catholic to mean universal in the way that some Roman Catholics seem to. If you're saying that sobornicesc doesn't correctly translate the latter Latin idea I'd agree with you (which is why Romanian also has catolic), but that's only because that peculiar interpretation of catholic is, in itself, not a particularly good translation (to the best of my knowledge - may a Greek speaker correct if I'm wrong) of the Greek 'kata holos'.

Tell me Romanian version of "Tax collector pray"?

You mean what does Luke 18:13 say in Romanian? It's: 'Dumnezeule, fii milostiv mie, păcătosului'. Which translates as 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner'. That's grammatically different (exactly as it is in English) from 'Lord have mercy on me' but essentially means exactly the same thing. And as you can see, milostiv has precisely the same root as a milui. What point were you trying to make exactly?

1. Catholic mean worldwide, universal etc. not Conciliar ... there are not democracy in Church.

in reality there are not "orthodox Church". Church is "Catholic" , and teaching and perception are "orthodox".

As far i know Romania have few translation of creed used depending on region (it is not about "sobornicesc"). .... But lets back to Sobornaya - at "slavic" people take wrongly across. It used to promote autocracy of bishop etc, so basically it is promote Popism.


i am not fluent in Romanian , but "Sobor" have  Slavic origin and on slavic have not much retailer to Universal, and most books do teach "sobotnaya" as ruled by council of bishops...
And it is wrong, incorrect as well as path to corruption.


2.   For me ἐλέησον and ἱλάσθητί are not same.
Just same as μακάριοι is not  εὐλογημένη , but people translated it english use just blessed.... for both.... if it not make diferent for you ...well ... it is not same for me so i did point it out.

...and if i do ask God about some thing , i like to make sure i am clear about.

Just a couple of days ago during Liturgy was read from the Gospel that so and so begot so and so, etc.
This was a documentation of Christ's ancestry.

So, should we shun that which Christ honored?

I suggesting you no thing. I am not your spiritual father.

I just declare that you do promoting PAGANISM.

and you start speculating on "Christ genealogy".  As well as before you speculated on "Pentecostal" 



You like to be PROUD - it is your chose.
but it is not what Orthodoxy about.


nazi and orthodoxy not going along side.

One more time there are never was "Ukraine" ... just same as never was Greece and Romania. it is fake states. ... and by the way Russia is fake too.

I guess you not respect David and not read psalms:

"Предсташа царие земстии, и князи собрашася вкупе на Господа и на Христа Его"  (Psalm 2)

" И гроби их жилища их во век, селения их в род и род, нарекоша имена своя на землях. И человек в чести сый не разуме, приложися скотом несмысленным и уподобися им" (Psalm 48)

[Alive]

2.also i have no idea why any one put "K" for ZaKhahernko, if it is ZaHarenko.

This is done when transliterating X from a Slavic language or Greek to English. The English H is softer than the X of Greek or Slavic languages, so the KH tells the reader to pronounce it more heavily than the normal English H.

Nothing to do with playing with anyone's mind. 

blah-blah-blah....

then you need to write Khome , not home, KHorse not horse.
