І҆рмо́съ:
Irimos:
By life alone we are saved,
Through life eternal is our hope;
For life is not in belly,
But by life eternal doth it stand.
Not suddenly do we perish,
Nor by delusion of the soul;
For compunction of heart doth move us,
And the stranger's authority we despise.
Not for spectacle is our glory,
Nor in creature doth our joy lie;
For deceit doth blind our eyes,
And the power of the world holdeth us fast.
But Thy mercy, O Lord, doth draw us near,
Thy righteousness and Thy glory evermore;
For Thou art King, and Thy Theotokos is with Thee,
And the Spirit doth guide us to the truth.
Therefore let us praise Thee, O Lord,
With heart and soul and strength;
For Thou art our salvation and our hope,
O Christ, Son of God, our only Redeemer.
Прише́лъ є҆сѝ ѿ дв҃ы, не хода́тай, ни а҆́гг҃лъ, но са́мъ ꙾гдⷭ҇и꙾ вопло́щьсѧ, и҆ сп҃слъ є҆сѝ всего́ мѧ человѣ́ка. тѣ́мъ зовꙋ́ ти: сла́ва си́лѣ твое́й гдⷭ҇и.
Hast Thou come from the heavens, not by an angel, but Thyself hast been incarnate, and didst suffer all things for man. Therefore call thee: Glory to Thy power on high.
Предстои́ши сꙋди́щꙋ ꙗ҆́кѡ сꙋди́мь, бж҃е мо́й, не вопїѧ̀ влⷣко, сꙋ́дъ и҆зносѧ̀ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: и҆̀мже стрⷭ҇тїю твое́ю хрⷭ҇тѐ вселе́ннѣй содѣ́лалъ є҆сѝ сп҃се́нїе.
Thou standest before the judgment seat, O my Judge, not crying out Lord, for the judgment hath waxen sore: by Thy own Word didst Thou effect salvation for all the world.
Стрⷭ҇тїю твое́ю хрⷭ҇тѐ, врагꙋ̀ ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ша ѻ҆рꙋ́жїѧ, проти́внымъ же є҆́же во а҆́дъ схожде́нїемъ твои́мъ, гра́ды разрꙋши́шасѧ, и҆ мꙋчи́телева де́рзость низложе́на бы́сть.
By Thy holy Incarnation, O Enemy hast thou been made a spectacle, and by thy descent into Hell with Thy advent, cities have fallen and the pride of the tyrant hath been cast down.
Бг҃оро́диченъ:
O Theotokos,
Тѧ̀ приста́нище сп҃се́нїѧ, и҆ стѣ́нꙋ недви́жимꙋ, бцⷣе влⷣчце, всѝ вѣ́рнїи свѣ́мы: ты́ бо мл҃твами твои́ми и҆збавлѧ́еши ѿ бѣ́дъ дꙋ́шы на́шѧ.
Thou, O Theotokos, our steadfast refuge and immovable wall, Lady: by thy prayers thou deliverest our souls from every tribulation.

І҆рмо́съ:
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the just shall live by faith: but the wicked shall die. But whosoever will be a disciple of Mine, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for My sake, the same shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.
Оу҆слы́шахъ гдⷭ҇и, сла́вное твоѐ смотре́нїе, и҆ просла́вихъ чл҃вѣколю́бче, непостижи́мꙋю твою̀ си́лꙋ.
O Lord, I have heard Thy glorious vision, and have glorified Thee, O Lover of mankind, Thy incomprehensible power.
Ви́дѣвши на дре́вѣ тѧ̀ хрⷭ҇тѐ пригвожде́на дв҃а, ꙗ҆́же неболѣ́зненнѡ тѧ̀ ро́ждшаѧ, мт҃рски болѣ̑зни претерпѣ̀.
Having seen upon the tree nailed thereunto Thy Mother, O ever immaculate, bearing Thee without any taint of sin, she endured manifold sorrows for sicknesses.
Побѣжде́на бы́сть сме́рть, ме́ртвъ плѣнѧ́етъ а҆́дѡва врата̀: всеѧ́дцꙋ бо разо́ршꙋсѧ, ꙗ҆̀же па́че є҆стества̀ всѧ̑ мѝ дарова́шасѧ.
Death hath been overcome; the dead doth enslave the gates of hell: for having rent asunder all the powers, more than the nature of man received.
И҆́нъ.
And Thee, O Lord.
І҆рмо́съ то́йже.
Airmos toyeje.
Сѐ превознесе́сѧ бж҃е́ственнаѧ гора̀ до́мꙋ гдⷭ҇нѧ, превы́шше си́лъ, бг҃омт҃рь ꙗ҆́вственнѣйше.
All hath exalted the holy mountain into the house of the Lord, surpassing all strength, by the Most Holy Spirit most holily.
Зако́нѡвъ є҆сте́ственныхъ кромѣ̀, є҆ди́на дв҃о ро́ждши влады́чествꙋющаго тва́рїю, сподо́биласѧ є҆сѝ бж҃е́ственнагѡ зва́нїѧ.
Having received the glory of God by birth among natural creatures alone, Thou hast been vouchsafed a divine and holy name, O Theotokos.
