KHAI-ro-men KAI a-gal-li-O-men KAI DO-so-men tên DO-ksan au-TOI HO-ti ÊL-then ho GA-mos tou ar-NI-ou KAI hê gy-NÊ au-TOU hê-TOI-ma-sen he-au-TÊN
Exegesis
The verse opens with a triad of first person plural hortatory subjunctives—khaíromen {χαίρωμεν | khaí-rō-men}, agalliōmen {ἀγαλλιῶμεν | a-gal-li-ô-men}, dōsomen {δώσομεν | dó-so-men}—each joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}. This coordinated sequence functions as an intense communal summons: the audience is urged not only to rejoice but to overflow in exultation and to respond by giving glory.
A further coordinate clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} follows within the same causal complex: hē gynē autou hētoimasen heautēn {ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ ἡτοίμασεν ἑαυτήν | hē gy-nḕ au-toû hē-toí-ma-sen he-au-tḗn}.
