This is a hymn from the Theophany (Denaha) liturgy of the Syriac Orthodox Church. The translation is:
The skies above the river smiled, filling the world with joy.
The crowds are amazed; the river agitated by the manifestation of the (Holy) Trinity.
The Son is standing in the moving waters, being baptized by His servant; The Holy Spirit descending from heaven; and the Father testifying: This is My Son.
By Your baptism, O Lord, purify our minds to be a place for
Your majesty. And by Your manifestation, enlighten our senses that we may thank You for Your goodness.
