І҆рмо́съ:
Irimos:
By life alone we are saved,
Through life eternal we are glorified;
For Thou art our Life, O Lord,
And by Thee we are made alive.
Through life and the Resurrection,
We have been delivered from death;
For Thou hast conquered, O Christ,
And hast given us life from the dead.
Thou art our Life, O Lord,
Our Life in Thy Resurrection;
By Thee we are saved from death,
O Lover of Mankind.
Процвѣла̀ є҆́сть пꙋсты́нѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ крі́нъ, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆зы́ческаѧ неплодѧ́щаѧ цр҃ковь, прише́ствїемъ твои́мъ, въ не́йже ᲂу҆тверди́сѧ моѐ се́рдце.
Blossomed hath the wilderness, as a spring, where erstwhile, O spiritually barren church, by thy advent, my heart is established within it.
Тва́рь въ стрⷭ҇ти твое́й и҆змѣнѧ́шесѧ, зрѧ́щи тѧ̀ въ нище́тнѣ ѡ҆́бразѣ ѿ беззако́нныхъ порꙋга́ема, ѡ҆снова́вшаго всѧ̑ бж҃е́ственнымъ манове́нїемъ.
Твоя тварь в стресви твоему изменишися, зрящи Тя в нищете образе от беззаконных поругаема, основавшаго вси божественным мановением.
Ѿпе́рсти по ѡ҆́бразꙋ мѧ̀ рꙋко́ю твое́ю созда́лъ є҆сѝ: и҆ сокрꙋше́нна па́ки въ пе́рсть сме́ртнꙋю за грѣ́хъ, хрⷭ҇тѐ соше́дъ во а҆́дъ, совоскр҃си́лъ є҆сѝ.
By Thy own hand didst Thou fashion me after the image: and again smitten in the breast for sin, Thou didst descend into hell, and didst raise up again.
Бг҃оро́диченъ:
O Theotokos,
Чи́ни ᲂу҆диви́шасѧ а҆́гг҃льстїи пречⷭ҇таѧ, и҆ человѣ́чєскаѧ ᲂу҆страши́шасѧ сердца̀ ѡ҆ ржⷭ҇твѣ̀ твое́мъ: тѣ́мже тѧ̀ бцⷣꙋ вѣ́рою чти́мъ.
Marvel at the angelic assembly in their awe, and fear human hearts by thy judgment: therefore do we with faith honor thee.
И҆́нъ канѡ́нъ крестовоскрⷭ҇нъ.
And the canon of the Cross-Risen.
І҆рмо́съ:
Virmós:
Life is not a delusion, O Soul, but a gift of God; let us not live in vain, but with compunction and true faith. For by always trusting in the Lord, we shall find His mercy and righteousness. Let us therefore seek the glory of God and not be content with temporal vanities. For He is our Creator and Sustainer, and in Him alone doth our salvation lie.
Лꙋ́къ сокрꙋши́сѧ си́льныхъ держа́вою твое́ю хрⷭ҇тѐ, и҆ си́лою немощствꙋ́ющїи препоѧ́сашасѧ.
Luke hath overcome the strong with thy mighty Theotokos, and hast strengthened them that were weak.
И҆́же всѣ́хъ вы́шши хрⷭ҇то́съ, ᲂу҆ма́лисѧ ма́лымъ чи́мъ, стрⷭ҇тїю плотско́ю, а҆́гг҃льскагѡ є҆стества̀.
Who of all the Highest, Thou Jesus Christ, wast made small by a bodily form, O Angelic in nature.
Ме́ртвъ со беззако́нными вмѣни́всѧ, сїѧ́ѧ жена́мъ вѣнце́мъ сла́вы хрⷭ҇тѐ, ꙗ҆ви́лсѧ є҆сѝ ѿ воскрⷭ҇нїѧ.
Dead with the unrighteous didst Thou entwine, O Lord, adorning women with the crown of glory; Thou hast despised the resurrection.
И҆́нъ канѡ́нъ прест҃ѣ́й бцⷣѣ.
And in the midst of the throne was the Lord.
І҆рмо́съ то́йже.
И҆́же вре́мене превы́шшїй всѧ́кагѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́менємъ творе́цъ, и҆з̾ тебѐ дв҃о во́лею млⷣнецъ созда́сѧ.
Which time surpasseth all times, because by time the Creator was created thee twice of thine own will.
Чре́во простра́ннѣйшее нб҃съ воспои́мъ, и҆́мже а҆да́мъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ ра́дꙋѧсѧ живе́тъ.
The most vastest belly of the earthly we receive, by which man rejoiceth on the earth liveth.
