Всест҃а́ѧ трⷪ҇це, бж҃е и҆ содѣ́телю всегѡ̀ мі́ра, поспѣшѝ и҆ напра́ви се́рдце моѐ, нача́ти съ ра́зꙋмомъ, и҆ конча́ти дѣ́лы бл҃ги́ми бг҃одꙋхновє́нныѧ сїѧ̑ кни̑ги, ꙗ҆̀же ст҃ы́й д¦ъ ѹ҆сты̀ дв҃дѡвы ѿры́гнꙋ, и҆̀хже ны́нѣ хощꙋ̀ глаго́лати а҆́зъ недосто́йный: разꙋмѣ́ѧ
All-compassing Spirit, God and helper of all the world, hasten and direct my heart, to begin with understanding and to end with good works inspired by Thy holy books; where steadfast are the fiery twofold tongues, and which now wisheth to speak I, unworthy: understand.
же своѐ невѣ́жество, припа́даѧ молю́сѧ тѝ, и҆ є҆́же ѿ тебѐ по́мощи просѧ̀: гдⷭ҇и, ѹ҆пра́ви ѹ҆́мъ мо́й, и҆ ѹ҆твердѝ се́рдце моѐ, не ѡ҆ глаго́ланїи ѹ҆сте́нъ стꙋжа́ти сѝ, но ѡ҆ ра́зꙋмѣ глаго́лемыхъ весели́тисѧ, и҆ пригото́витисѧ на творе́нїе до́брыхъ дѣ́лъ, ꙗ҆̀же ѹ҆чꙋ́сѧ, и҆ глаго́лю:
Thou, O Lord, who art the Teacher of my ignorance, I now beseech Thee with prayer: Lord, correct me and strengthen my heart; not by the voice of stern command to strive hard, but by the understanding of what is spoken to rejoice, and prepare myself for the doing of good works. Teach me, and I say:
да до́брыми дѣ́лы просвѣще́нъ, на сꙋди́щи десны́ѧ тѝ страны̀ прича́стникъ бꙋ́дꙋ, со всѣ́ми и҆збра́нными твои́ми. и҆ ны́нѣ влⷣко, бл҃гословѝ, да воздохнꙋ́въ ѿ се́рдца, и҆ ѧ҆зы́комъ воспою̀, глаго́лѧ си́це:
Grant us, O Lord, good works to enlighten, that we may partake of the righteous judgments at the tribunals, together with all thy chosen ones. And now, blessed be thou, let me breathe forth from my heart and speak with my tongue, saying thusly:
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ цр҃е́ви на́шемꙋ бг҃ꙋ.
Come, let us bow down in worship to our God.
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ и҆ припаде́мъ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ цр҃е́ви на́шемꙋ бг҃ꙋ.
Come, let us bow down and prostrate ourselves before the King our God.
Прїиди́те, поклони́мсѧ и҆ припаде́мъ самомꙋ̀ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ цр҃е́ви и҆ бг҃ꙋ на́шемꙋ.
Come, let us bow down and prostrate ourselves before the King, our God, and before Jesus Christ our Lord.
Та́же посто́й ма́лѡ, до́ндеже ѹ҆тиша́тсѧ всѧ̑ чꙋ́вства: тогда̀ сотворѝ нача́ло не вско́рѣ, без̾ лѣ́ности, со ѹ҆миле́нїемъ и҆ сокрꙋше́ннымъ се́рдцемъ. Рцы̀ сїѐ: Бл҃же́нъ мꙋ́жъ: ти́хъ и҆ разꙋ́мнѡ, со внима́нїемъ, а҆ не борзѧ́сѧ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ѹ҆мо́мъ разꙋмѣва́ти глаго́лємаѧ.
And likewise steadfastly, until all the senses are quelled: then let him begin not quickly, without laziness, with compunction of heart and humbled spirit. Say this: Blessed is the man: quiet and wise, with attention, and not hasting, as though to understand by his own reason the words spoken.
