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 twitches, which now I wish to speak, unworthy as I am: 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 Who art my Teacher and Guide, I humbly beseech Thee of Thy mercy to enlighten me in mine own ignorance, and to grant me help from Thee. Lord, direct me and strengthen my heart, not by the voice of harsh rebuke, but by the understanding of the meaning spoken, that I may be glad 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:
May we be made partakers of good works, on the judgment seats receiving thy mercies, with all thy chosen ones. And now, Blessed Lord, having drawn near from my heart, and by tongue I will sing, saying 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, our Jesus Christ, and before 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 him stand thus little, until all the senses are quieted: then let him begin to do this not quickly, without diligence, 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 understanding the words spoken.
