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-holy Trinity, God and Saviour of the whole world, hasten and direct my heart, to begin with understanding and to end with good works inspired by Thy Holy Scriptures, where steadfast are the fiery twapons, which now I dare to speak as unworthy: understanding.
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 Who art the Lord, I beseech Thee, and that Thou mightest grant me help: O Lord, direct my way, and establish my heart, not by the voice of strenuous crying, but by the understanding of what is spoken, to rejoice therein, and to 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:
May we be enlightened by good works, partakers of righteous judgments on the tribunals, and inherit with all thy chosen ones. And now, Blessed Lady, bless me that having exhorted from my heart, I may sing thus:
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 of kings and our God.
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.
Therefore, let us stand steadfastly, until all the senses are quenched: then let us begin the work not quickly, without diligence, with compunction of heart and humbled spirit. Say this: Blessed is the man: quiet and wise, attentive, and not hasty, as to understand by meditation that which is spoken.
