Having given me flesh by Your will, fire and scorch the unworthy, do not scorch me, my Creator; rather, go into my mouth, into all my parts, into my womb, into my heart. The thorns of all my sins fell. Cleanse your soul, sanctify your thoughts. Confirm the compositions with the bones together. Enlighten the simple five of feelings. Fill me with Thy fear. Cover me always, keep me, and save me from every deed and word of the soul. Cleanse, wash, and adorn me, fertilize, enlighten, and enlighten me. Show me Your village of the one Spirit, and not to anyone the village of sin. Yes, like Your house, the entrance of communion, like fire, every evildoer, every passion flees from me. I offer prayer books to You, all the saints, the orders of the incorporeal, Your Forerunner, the wise apostles, and to these Your undefiled Pure Mother; Accept their prayers, Compassion, my Christ, and make Your servant a son of Light. For You are the sanctification and the only one of ours, the Good One, of souls and lordship; and like unto You, as God and the Master, we send all glory every day.

This fire - You are fire. Sodatelu – Creator (vocal case). Ouds are members of the body. Compositions – joints. Strengthen the joints with the bones together - the original Greek expression means: strengthen the legs at the knees (so that the knees do not bend and the person stands straight). Enlighten the simple five feelings - enlighten the five basic (indecomposable) of my feelings. Always - always. Fertilize - decorate. Show - show, do. Village – dwelling, habitation. Not to anyone - no longer. The bureaucrats of the disembodied - and the bureaucrats of the disembodied (angelic) Forces. Undefiled - immaculate. Lime-like - decent.

For You are the sanctification and the only one of ours, the Good One, of souls and lordship. In some prayer books there is a slightly different order of words, which helps to better understand the expression: For You alone art the sanctification of our souls, the Good One, and the lordship.
