Irmos: Let us understand, all people, / from the bitter work of the Pharaohs of Israel to the traitor / and in the depths of the seas with wet feet to the One who taught / a song of victory, / as if he had become glorified.
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
What language can sing according to the inheritance / yours, great father, great corrections, high teaching, / in prison and in bonds, martyrdom and long-suffering?
Reverend Father Maxima, pray to God for us.
How shall we sing and what shall we call you, O Lord Father? / A prophet, as he foretold the inconvenience that is understood and known to us, / Or an apostle, as the unsteady winds that are contrary to us / Establish the Christian faith in the Divine Scriptures, teachings, / or teachers, but truly you are no worse and lower than the great ones of the universal teacher.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Sing the Holy and Worshipful Paraclete in prison, a message from the Angel, accept, / you created the canon of the Holy Spirit, / whereby the will is still enlightened, holy and inspired by God you compiled the books.
And now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Let us hear, all people, the shrine and glory of the Most Pure and All-Singing Mother of God, / who is above Heaven and all intelligent Powers, / who reviled Emmanuel in Her most pure womb, / for she is holy and glorious.
