І҆рмо́съ:
Irimos:
Thou, O Lord, hast created man in Thine own image and after Thy likeness;
and Thou didst place him upon this earth to be a steward of all things.
But he fell away from Thee through the deceit of the serpent,
and became a stranger in his own house.
Thou didst raise up for us the holy Prophets, O Lord, who foretold
the coming of Thy Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour;
and Thou didst prepare the Apostles as vessels of mercy and truth.
But man, through his own willful disobedience,
became a servant of sin and death.
Thou hast shown us, O Lord, that true life is not in this world,
but in Thee alone; for Thou art the Life and the Resurrection.
And Thou didst give to us Thy only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
that through Him we might have eternal life.
Therefore, let us with compunction of heart and humility of soul
confess our sins before Thee, O Lord, and seek Thy mercy and forgiveness;
for Thou art the God of all compassion and long-suffering.
Grant us, O Lord, to walk in Thy commandments,
and to be found worthy of Thy heavenly Kingdom.
Amen.
Безнача́льна роди́телѧ сн҃ъ, бг҃ъ и҆ гдⷭ҇ь, вопло́щьсѧ ѿ дв҃ы на́мъ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ, ѡ҆мрачє́ннаѧ просвѣти́ти, собра́ти расточє́ннаѧ: тѣ́мъ всепѣ́тꙋю бцⷣꙋ велича́емъ.
Without beginning, O Source of our life, God and Lord, having taken flesh from the Virgin, Thou hast been made manifest to us, darkened though Thou wast to enlighten: by this we all sing Thee, O Theotokos, with great reverence.
Ꙗ҆́кѡ въ раѝ насажде́но на ло́бнѣмъ сп҃се, требога́тое дре́во твоегѡ̀ пречⷭ҇тагѡ крⷭ҇та̀, кро́вїю и҆ водо́ю бж҃е́ственною, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ и҆сто́чника бж҃е́ственнагѡ, ребра̀ твоегѡ̀ хрⷭ҇тѐ, напоѧ́емо, живо́тъ на́мъ прозѧбло̀ є҆́сть.
As hath been planted on the forehead of our face, O Tree precious in Thy sight, which Thou didst command to be borne with blood and water most piously, as from the fount of piety, Thou didst moisten the ribs of Thine own self, and we, being watered thereby, have a life made manifest unto us.
Низложи́лъ є҆сѝ си̑льныѧ, распны́йсѧ всеси́льне, и҆ є҆́же ни́зꙋ лежа́щее во а҆́довѣ тверды́ни, є҆стество̀ человѣ́ческое возне́съ, на ѻ҆́ч҃емъ посади́лъ є҆сѝ прⷭ҇то́лѣ. съ ни́мже тебѣ̀ грѧдꙋ́щꙋ покланѧ́ющесѧ, велича́емъ.
Thou hast cast down the mighty, Thou hast loosed the powerful, and that which layeth low in the depths of hell, Thou hast raised up the human nature, upon Thy throne Thou hast set Jesus Christ. With Him, coming to Thee, bowing down, we glorify Thee.
Трⷪ҇ченъ:
Blessed be Thou, O Lord, God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, and of all things visible and invisible, for ever and ever. Amen.
Є҆ди́ницꙋ тричи́сленнꙋю, трⷪ҇цꙋ є҆диносꙋ́щнꙋю правосла́внѡ пою́ще вѣ́рнїи, сла́вимъ: непресѣко́мо пребж҃е́ственное є҆стество̀, трисвѣ́тлꙋю, невече́рнюю зарю̀, є҆ди́нꙋ нетлѣ́ннꙋю на́мъ свѣ́тъ возсїѧ́вшꙋю.
Faithful, we hymn the Triune Unity, indivisibly united in essence: the Uncreated Light, the Trinitarian Dawn, which hath enlightened us with its ever-burning Light.
И҆́нъ:
And He saith:
І҆рмо́съ: Ѿ бг҃а бг҃а сло́ва:
Hirmos: By God, by God, the Word:
Посредѣ̀ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нныхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́гнецъ возвы́шенъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ хрⷭ҇тѐ, на крⷭ҇тѣ̀, на ло́бнѣмъ копїе́мъ въ ребро̀ пробода́емь, живо́тъ дарова́лъ є҆сѝ на́мъ пє́рстнымъ ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гъ, вѣ́рою чтꙋ́щымъ бж҃е́ственное твоѐ воскрⷭ҇нїе.
Among the judged, because the Lamb was exalted and stood forth, O Lord, on the crown, on the brow spear-pointed, pierced in the side, Thou didst give us life, O Lover of Mankind, by Thy finger, for them that believe with faith in Thy holy Resurrection.
И҆́же свое́ю сме́ртїю, сме́рти держа́вꙋ си́лою ᲂу҆праздни́вшемꙋ бг҃ꙋ всѝ вѣ́рнїи поклони́мсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆́же ѿ вѣ́ка мє́ртвыѧ совоскр҃сѝ, и҆ всѣ̑мъ подае́тъ живо́тъ и҆ воскрⷭ҇нїе.
Whose death hath overcome the power of death by His own death, and hath raised up all believers by the resurrection from the age of the dead, to Him shall we bow down, for He giveth life and resurrection to all.
И҆́нъ
And He
І҆рмо́съ: Ве́сь є҆сѝ жела́нїе.
Irimos: All Thy desire hath been fulfilled.
Же́злъ крѣ́пости даде́сѧ є҆стествꙋ̀ тлѣ́нномꙋ, сло́во бж҃їе во ᲂу҆тро́бѣ твое́й чⷭ҇таѧ: и҆ сїѐ воскр҃сѝ, до а҆́да попо́лзшеесѧ. тѣ́мже тѧ̀ всечⷭ҇таѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бцⷣꙋ велича́емъ.
Staff of strength hath been given to nature corruptible, the Word of God in thy womb reading: and this thou hast risen, creeping even unto hell. Wherefore all-blessed thou, as we do thee honour.
Ю҆́же и҆зво́лилъ є҆сѝ влⷣко, прїимѝ млⷭ҇тивнѡ мл҃твенницꙋ, мт҃рь твою̀ ѡ҆ на́съ, и҆ твоеѧ̀ бл҃гости всѧ́чєскаѧ и҆спо́лнѧтсѧ: да тѧ̀ всѝ ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃годѣ́телѧ велича́емъ.
Since Thou, O Master, hast deigned to receive the humble handmaiden and mother of Thy people, and all Thy manifold blessings be fulfilled for us: that we may all alike glorify Thee as a great Benefactor.
