І҆рмо́съ:
Irimos:
Thou, O Lord, hast created man in Thine own image and after Thy likeness;
and Thou didst place him on earth as a stranger and a sojourner.
For the time is short, and life is but vanity and emptiness,
and all our ways are darkness; yet Thou art our light and our guide.
Thou hast given us commandments that we may walk in them,
and Thou hast set before us the way of Thy commandments as a lamp.
But we have turned aside from Thee and gone astray, like sheep without a shepherd;
and we have wandered far from the fold of Thy mercy.
Purge us, O Lord, and cleanse us from all our sins,
for we are but dust and ashes, and Thou art our only hope.
Thou art the Way, the Truth, and the Life; and no one cometh to the Father but by Thee.
Ѡ҆бы́де на́съ послѣ́днѧѧ бе́здна, нѣ́сть и҆збавлѧ́ѧй, вмѣни́хомсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы заколе́нїѧ, сп҃сѝ лю́ди твоѧ̑, бж҃е на́шъ: ты́ бо крѣ́пость немощствꙋ́ющихъ и҆ и҆справле́нїе.
Let us fall into the last abyss, and there be none to deliver us; we have fallen prostrate as sheep, O Lord our God: for Thou art the strength of the feeble and the correction thereof.
Согрѣше́нїемъ первозда́ннагѡ гдⷭ҇и, лю́тѣ ᲂу҆ѧзви́хомсѧ, ра́ною же и҆сцѣли́хомсѧ твое́ю, є҆́юже за ны̀ ᲂу҆ѧзви́лсѧ є҆сѝ хрⷭ҇тѐ: ты́ бо крѣ́пость немощствꙋ́ющихъ и҆ и҆справле́нїе.
By the sin of the uncreated Word of God, we have been greatly envenomed; but early have we been healed by Thee, Whom for us the uncreated One hath envenomed: for Thou art the strength of the weak and the correction thereof.
Возве́лъ ны̀ є҆сѝ и҆з̾ а҆́да гдⷭ҇и, ки́та ᲂу҆би́въ всеѧ́дца, всеси́льне, твое́ю держа́вою низложи́въ тогѡ̀ си́лꙋ: ты́ бо живо́тъ, и҆ свѣ́тъ є҆сѝ, и҆ воскрⷭ҇нїе.
Exalted hast Thou, O Lord, from the abyss, the slayer of every creature, all-powerful, by Thy power Thou didst subdue His strength: for Thou art Life, and Light, and Resurrection.

O Theotokos,
Веселѧ́тсѧ ѡ҆ тебѣ̀ дв҃о пречⷭ҇таѧ, ро́да на́шегѡ пра́ѻтцы, є҆де́мъ воспрїе́мше тобо́ю, є҆го́же престꙋпле́нїемъ погꙋби́ша: ты́ бо чⷭ҇таѧ, и҆ пре́жде ржⷭ҇тва̀, и҆ по ржⷭ҇твѣ̀ є҆сѝ.
Rejoice with Thee, O Lord, two generations of our forefathers, who have eaten Thy wheat, slain by their transgression: for Thou art a sower, and before the sowing, and from the sowing hast Thou been.
И҆́нъ І҆рмо́съ: И҆з̾ ᲂу҆тро́бы і҆ѡ́нꙋ:
And in the morning of His womb:
Оу҆́мъ сы́й безстра́стенъ и҆ невеще́ственъ, примѣша́етсѧ хрⷭ҇то́съ бг҃ъ человѣ́ческомꙋ ᲂу҆мꙋ̀, хода́тайствꙋющемꙋ бж҃е́ственнымъ є҆стество́мъ, пло́ти же дебельство́мъ, и҆ всемꙋ̀ мнѣ̀ непрело́женъ весьма̀ соедини́сѧ: да сп҃се́нїе всемꙋ̀ мнѣ̀ па́дшемꙋ пода́стъ распина́емь.
Па́даетъ прельсти́всѧ а҆да́мъ, и҆ ꙾запѧ́выйсѧ сокрꙋша́етсѧ꙾, наде́ждою ѡ҆бо́лганъ сы́й дре́вле ѡ҆боже́нїѧ: но востае́тъ соедине́нїемъ сло́ва ѡ҆божа́емь, и҆ стра́стїю безстра́стїе прїе́млетъ, на прⷭ҇то́лѣ ꙗ҆́кѡ сн҃ъ сла́витсѧ, сѣдѧ́й со ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ же и҆ дх҃омъ.
Falling into spiritual deception, Adam, groaning, is crushed; hoping in the ancient confession of faith: but he rises by the union of the holy word, and by passionless suffering receives it, for on the throne shall he be glorified, sitting with the Father and the Spirit.
Бг҃оро́диченъ:
O Theotokos,
Нѣ́дръ не ѿстꙋ́пль безнача́льна роди́телѧ, въ нѣ́дрѣхъ чⷭ҇тыѧ ѻ҆трокови́цы водворѧ́етсѧ, и҆ быва́етъ, и҆́же пре́жде безма́теренъ, без̾ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ воплоща́емый, и҆́же пра́вдою црⷭ҇твꙋѧй бг҃ъ: сегѡ̀ неродосло́венъ стра́шный ро́дъ и҆ неизрече́ненъ.
Hath not the Fount of unoriginated Parentage ceased to flow, in its depths doth the Virgin Mother repose, and wherefore before She was without childbirth, and without a Father did She take on flesh, and by righteousness doth she bear God: lo, this fearful birth and unspeakable.
И҆́нъ І҆рмо́съ: Ѡ҆бы́де на́съ:
And Irmos: Have mercy on us:
Предстоѧ́тъ раболѣ́пнѣ ржⷭ҇твꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀ чи́ни нбⷭ҇нїи, дивѧ́щесѧ досто́йнѡ твоемꙋ̀ безсѣ́менномꙋ рождествꙋ̀ приснодв҃о: ты́ бо чⷭ҇таѧ, и҆ пре́жде ржⷭ҇тва̀, и҆ по ржⷭ҇твѣ̀ є҆сѝ.
Servants of the Lord stand before Thy holy mystery, marvelling at Thy pure and ever-virgin Birth: for Thou didst read, even before the reading, and by the reading wast Thou made manifest.
Воплоти́сѧ пре́жде сы́й безпло́тенъ, сло́во и҆з̾ тебѐ пречⷭ҇таѧ, всѧ́чєскаѧ во́лею творѧ́й, безтѣле́сныхъ вѡ́инства приведы́й ѿ небытїѧ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ всеси́ленъ.
Let Thy Word, O Lord, which was formed before the ages, and which Thou spakest from heaven, by Thine all-powerful will, bring forth from non-existence the无形之言，汝昔已形，自汝口中天上出者，以全能之力，使无有者成有。
Оу҆мерщвле́нъ бы́сть вра́гъ живоно́снымъ твои́мъ плодо́мъ бг҃облагода́тнаѧ: и҆ попра́нъ бы́сть а҆́дъ проѧвле́ннѣ, и҆ и҆̀же во ᲂу҆́захъ свободи́хомсѧ. тѣ́мже вопїю̀: стра̑сти разрꙋшѝ се́рдца моегѡ̀.
Be thou slain, O Enemy, by the fruit of Thy life-giving Incarnation, O God-blessed One; and let the Adversary be uncovered, and in whom we have been set free. Therefore I cry: O Break the bonds of my heart.
