Bwana anakukataza ewe shetani, kwa kuwa alikuja duniani na kukaa pamoja na wanadamuili kumaliza ufalme wako na kumfanya mwanadamu huru;kwa kuwekwa msalabani, alishinda nguvu zote ovu ,jua Iilipokuwa giza na dunia kutikiswa makaburi yalipofunguka na miili ya watakatifu ilipaa; Aliangamiza kifo kwa kifo na alikushinda, ewe shetani uliyekuwa na nguvu za kifo, ninakushurutisha kwa jina la Mungu aliyedhihirisha mti wa uzima na kuweka waheruvi na panga zenye moto inayokata pande zote kuuliinda.Ushindwe na uondoke; kwa kuwa ninakuamuru kwa jina la Yule aliyetembea juu ya maji kama kwamba ilikuwa nchi kavu,na kuleta utulivu; ambaye anakausha kisima na ambayetisho lake linayeyusha milima. Ndiye yule Bwana ambaye sasa anakuamuru kupitia kwetu: ogopa, toka na umwondokee huyu mwanadamu. (hawa wanadamu), na usiwahi kurudi, kujificha ndani yake (yao) wala kukutana au kujionyesha kwake. (kwao); usiku wala mchana, asubuhi au adhuhuri, lakini ondoka kwa giza lako hadi siku ile kuu ya hukumu.mwogope Mungu aketiye juu ya waheruvi; ambaye Malaika wanatetemeka, malaika wakuu, Enzi, mfalme, Hila, Mamlaka, Nguvu na waheruvi na waseraﬁ wenye macho mengi na mabawa sita ambaye mbingu,nchi, bahari na vyote vilivyomo vinatetemeka. Toka na umwondokee mwanajesehi huyu. (wanajeshi hawa) wa Kristo Mungu wetu, kwa kuwa ametiwa alama ya Msalaba na ameorodheshwa upya. kwa kuwa ni kwa jina lake ninakuamuru, jina la Bwana ambaye anatembea kwa bawa za upepo, ambaye anawafanya malaika wake roho na watumishi wake moto, toka na umwondokee mwanadamu huyu (wanadamu hawa) na nguvu zako zote na malaika wako.kwa jina la Baba la Mwana na Roho mtakatifu Iinatukuzwa sasa na siku zote milele na hata milele.

The Lord rebukes you, O devil, He that came into the world and made His dwelling among men, that He might cast down your tyranny, and deliver men; He that upon the Tree triumphed over the opposing powers, when the sun was darkened, and the earth was shaken, and the tombs were opened, and the bodies of the Saints arose; He that by death destroyed Death, and overcame him that held the might of death, that is, even you, O devil. I adjure you by the Living God, Who has shown forth the Tree of Life, and posted the Cherubim, and the flaming sword that turns about to guard this: be rebuked, and depart, for I forbid you, through Him that walks on the waves of the sea as upon the dry land, Who forbade the storm of the winds, Whose glance dries up the deep, and Whose threatenings melt the mountains; for it is He Himself that now forbids you through us. Be afraid, and depart, and absent yourself from this creature, and come not back, neither hide yourself in him (her), nor encounter him (her), nor influence him (her) either by night or by day, nor in the morning or at noon; but get you hence to your own Tartarus, until the appointed day of Judgment. Fear God, Who sits on the throne of the Cherubim, and looks upon the depths, before Whom tremble Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Principalities, Authorities, Powers, the many-eyed Cherubim, and the six-winged Seraphim; Whom Heaven and earth fear, the sea, and all that live therein. Come forth, and depart from the sealed and newly-enlisted soldier of Christ our God; for I adjure you by Him that rides upon the wings of the winds, Who makes His Angels spirits and His Ministers a flame of fire. Come forth, and from this creature which He fashioned depart with all your power and might; for glorified is the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

Mungu mtakatifu, unayetisha, mtukufu, usiyeelezeka na usiyechunguzika kwa kazi na nguvu zako zote,aliyekutwalia ewe Shetani, adhabu ya milele kupitia kwetu sisi watumishi wasiostahili, tunakuamuru, na kwa nguvu zote zinazofanya kazi na wewe, kumwondokea ambaye amewekewa nembo mpya' kwa jina la la Bwaria Yesu Kristo, Mungu wetu wa kweIi.kwa hivyo, ninakuamuru wewe muovu,uliyeharamishwa, mkatili na roho mbaya imutoke mtu huyu na usiwahi kumuingia tena. ondoka, na ukubali kuwa nguvu zako ni bure; ambazo hata hazingeweza kukaa ndani ya nguruwe. Mkumbuke aliyekuamuru kwa hiari yako kuingia ndani ya kundi la nguruwe. Mwogope Mungu ambaye kwa amri yake dunia ilifanywa dhabiti juu ya maji, ambaye aliziumba mbingu, aliyeipima milima kwa uzani na mabonde kwa mizani. (lsaya.4O:12) Aliyeweka mchanga kama mpaka wa bahari, na njia salama ndani ya maji;ambaye anaifanya milima itoe moshi kwa mguso wake, ambaye anajivisha nuru kama vazi, ambaye anafunika makao yake na maji; ambaye aliweka misingi ya dunia imara ili isiwahi kutikiswa; anayeinua maji kutoka baharini na kuirudisha kama mvua, toka na umwondokee anayejitayarisha kupata nuru takatifu. Ninakuamuru kwa uokovu wa Bwana Yesu Kristo na Mwili wake mtakatifu na Damu na kurudi kwake kuzuri; kwa kuwa atarudi bila kukawia kuhukumu dunia yote, na atakuweka na nguvu zote zinazofanya kazi nawe katika moto wa Jehanamu kwa kukukutoa kwa giza la nje ambako wadudu wanashambulia kila mara na moto hauzimiki kamwe. kwa kuwa nguvu ni za Kristo Mungu wetu, pamoja na Baba na Roho mtakatifu sasa na siku zote hata milele na milele.

God, the Holy, the Terrible, and the Glorious, Who concerning all His works and strength is incomprehensible and unsearchable, Who Himself has ordained for you O devil, the retribution of eternal torment, through us, His unworthy servants, commands you, and all your cooperating might to go forth from him (her) that is newly sealed in the Name of our Lord God and Savior Christ. Therefore, you all evil, unclean, abominable, loathsome and alien spirit, I adjure you by the power of Jesus Christ, Who has all authority in Heaven and on earth, Who says to the deaf and dumb demon, “Get out of the man, and enter no more into him.” Depart, know the vainness of your might, which had not power even over the swine! Remember Him Who bade you, at your request, to enter into the herd of swine. Fear God, at Whose command the earth was established upon the waters; Who has founded the Heavens, and fixed the mountains with a line, and the valleys with a measure; Who has placed the sand for a boundary to the sea, and made safe paths through the waters; Who touched the mountains and they smoked; Who clothed Himself with Light as with a garment; Who has stretched out the Heavens as with a curtain; Who covers His upper rooms with waters; Who has founded the earth on her firm foundations, so that it shall not be moved forever; Who calls up the waters of the seas, and sprinkles it on the face of the earth. Come out! Depart from him (her) who is now being made ready for Holy Illumination; I adjure you by the saving Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, by His Precious Blood and All-Pure Body, and by His terrible Coming Again for He shall come and not tarry, to judge all the earth, and shall punish you and your cooperating might in the Gehenna of fire, consigning you to the outer darkness where the worm dies not and the fire is not quenched; for of Christ is the Might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

You, the Existing Sovereign Master and Lord, Who made man after Your own image and likeness and gave to him power of eternal life; and when he had fallen through sin did not disdain him, but did provide for him through the Incarnation of Your Christ, the salvation of the world. Redeeming this Your creature from the yoke of the Enemy, receive him (her) into Your heavenly Kingdom. Open the eyes of his (her) understanding, so that the Illumination of Your Gospel may dawn upon him (her). Yoke unto his (her) life a shining Angel to deliver him (her) from every plot directed against him (her) by the Adversary, from encounter with evil, from the noon-day demon, and from evil dreams

Mwondolee kila ovu au roha mchafu anayejificha au kumfuata katika moyo wake. (3)

Drive out from him (her) every evil and unclean spirit, hiding and lurking in his (her) heart.” (3)

Nasadiki Mungu mmoja, Baba, Mwenyezi, mwumba wa Mbingu, na Nchi, hata vyote vilivyo onekana na visivyo onekana. Tena Bwana mmoja, Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa pekee wa Mungu, aliyezaliwa na Baba kabla ya wakati wowote. Nuru toka Nuru, Mungu kweli toka Mungu kweli, aliyezaliwa, hakuumbwa, aliye wa asili moja na Baba, kwa yeye vyote vilifanya. Aliyeshuka mbinguni kwa ajili yetu wanadamu na ya wokovu wetu, akapata mwili kwa Maria bikira na kwa Roho Mtakatifu, hata kuwa mtu. Aliye sulubiwa kwa ajili yetu wakati wa enzi ya Pontio Pilato, akateswa, akawekwa kaburini. Aliyefufuka siku ya tatu, kama Maandiko yanenavyo. Akapaa mbinguni ndipo anapokaa kuume kwa Baba. Atakaye kuja mara ya pili kwa utukufu kuwahukumu wa hai na wafu; na ufalme wake utakuwa bila mwisho. Tena nasadiki Roho Mtakatifu, yu Bwana, yu mpaji wa uhai; anayetoka kwa Baba, anayesujudiwa na kutukuzwa pamoja na Baba na Mwana, aliyenena kwa midomo ya manabii. Tena nasadiki Ekklesia Moja, Takatifu, Katholiki na la Mitume. Naungama ubatizo moja kwa maondoleo ya dhambi. Natumaini ufufuo wa wafu, hata uzima wa ulimwengu utakaokuja. [[SWA]] Amina.

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. [GOA] Amen.

Ee Mungu wa upendo na mrahimu, ambaye unachunguza mioyo yetu na hisia zetu ,ambaye wewe pekee unajua siri zetu sote, kwa kuwa hakuna’chochote unawéza kuﬁchwa lakini kila kitu ni wazi na kinadhihirishwa machohi mwako; unayenijua; usinidharau wala kuniondolea uso wako ambaye unona dhambi za wanaume na wanawake ;na kuwaongoza katika kutubu; safisha uchafu wote wa mwili wangu na doa za moyo wangu na unitakase kwa nguvu zako zisizoonekana na uwezo wa roho wakoi ninapotangaza uhuru kwa wengine na kufanyiza ibada hii kwa imani yote katika upendo mkuu kwa mwanadamu, nisikatiliwe kama mtumishi wa dhambi. Ee, Bwana, ambaye wewe tu ndiwe mwenye haki na mpenda Mwanadamu.usinirudishe kwa dharau na aibu lakini unitumie nguvu kutoka juu na unipe nguvu za kufanyiza hii sakramenti yako kuu. Fanyiza mfano wa Kristo ndani huyu ambaye anazaliwa upya ndani yangu kwa kutostahili kwangu, Mjenge katika misingi ya mitume wako na manabm usimwangushe chini ,lakini muweke kama mmea wa ukweli katika kanisa lako la katholiki na Ia mitume, na usiwahi kumng’oa ili anapokua kwa kukucha aweze kutukuza jina lako kuu na takatifu la Baba na Mwana na Roho mtakatifu, daima sasa na siku zote hata milele na milele. Amina.

O compassionate and merciful God, Who tries the heart and reigns, and Who alone knows the secrets of men, for no deed is secret in Your sight, but all things are exposed and naked in Your eyesight: do You Yourself, Who perceives that which concerns me, neither turn away Your face from me, but overlook my offenses in this hour, O You that overlook the sins of men that they repent. Wash away the defilement of my body and the stain of my soul. Sanctify me wholly by Your all-effectual, invisible might, and by Your spiritual right hand, lest, by preaching liberty to others, and offering this in the perfect faith of Your unspeakable love for humankind, I may be condemned as a servant of sin. Nay, Sovereign Master that alone are good and loving, let me not be turned away humbled and shamed, but send forth to me power from on high, and strengthen me for the ministration of this Your present, great, and most heavenly Mystery. Form the Image of Your Christ in him (her) who is about to be born again through my humility. Build him (her) on the foundation of Your Apostles and Prophets. Cast him (her) not down, but plant him (her) as a plant of truth in Your Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Pluck him (her) not out, that, by his (her) advancing in piety, by the same may be glorified Your Most Holy Name, of Father, and of Son, and of Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

We confess Your Grace; we proclaim Your beneficence; we do not hide Your Mercy; You have set at liberty the generations of our nature; You did hallow the virginal Womb by Your Birth; all creation praises You, Who did manifest Yourself, for You were seen upon the earth, and did sojourn with men.

For You have said, O Lord: “Wash, and be clean; put away evil from your souls.” You have bestowed upon us regeneration from on high by water and the spirit. Manifest Yourself, O Lord, in this water, and grant that he (she) that is to be baptized may be transformed therein to the putting away of the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and to the putting on of the new, which is renewed according to the Image of Him that created him (her).

Ode i. Mode pl. 4.

Moses prefigured the Cross. * Lifting up the rod, he stretched out his hand and split the Sea for Israel to cross on land. * Then he stretched it out again, * and the sea returned and covered Pharaoh’s chariots. * The Cross was thus portrayed as our invincible armor. * So let us sing to the Lord, * Christ our God, for He is greatly glorified. [GOASD]

Ode iii.

The rod of Aaron is seen as typifying the mystery; * for it budded, and thus was the priest selected. * Now in the Church, that was barren once, the Cross of Christ, like a tree, * has blossomed forth, * as power and a firm support. [GOASD]

Ode iv.

I have heard the report, O Lord, * of Your incarnation, which is a mystery. * I considered Your astounding works, * and I glorified Your divinity. [GOASD]

Ode v.

Tree of the Cross, you are thrice-blessed, * for Jesus Christ, who is King and Lord, was crucified on you. * Through you fallen is the one who by a tree deceived us, * for he was lured by God who in the flesh indeed * was hung and nailed to you, * and who grants to our souls His peace. [GOASD]

Ode vi.

In the belly of the sea beast * the prophet Jonah prayed with his arms extended crosswise; * thus he clearly prefigured the saving Passion of Christ. * When after three days he emerged, * he was depicting the supernal resurrection from the dead * of Christ God, who was physically nailed to the Cross * and by His third-day arising illumined the universe. [GOASD]

Ode vii.

The impious tyrant’s preposterous decree disturbed the populace, * breathing threats and blasphemous pronouncements hateful to God. * His brutal anger did not intimidate * the three Servants, nor did the consuming fire. * But when the dew-laden breeze whistled against the fire, they joined it and together sang, * “Blessed are You, O Lord. You are highly praised, O God, the God of our fathers.” [GOASD]

Ode viii.

Tunamsifu, tunamhimidi, na tunamsujudu Bwana.

We praise and we bless and we worship the Lord.

You three pious Servants, * same in number as the Trinity, * bless God the Father, Maker of all; * sing a hymn to the Word who condescended * and who changed the fire in the furnace into dew; * as for the all-holy Spirit, who gives life to all, exalt Him * beyond measure unto the ages. [GOASD]

Ode ix. Katavasia. Mode pl. 4.

Theotokos, you are mystical Paradise, * for without husbandry you have blossomed Christ, * by whom on earth the Cross, as a life-bearing tree, has been planted and watered. * As it is now exalted, * we adore Him and worship Him and magnify you. [GOASD]

Resurrection Day! O peoples, let us brilliantly shine! * Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha! * For Christ our God has out of death * passed us over into life, * and likewise from earth * to heaven, as we now sing * unto Him a triumphal hymn. [GOASD]

Ode iii.

Come and let us drink a new drink, * not one marvelously issuing from a barren rock, * but one that Christ from the tomb * pours out, incorruption’s very source. * For we are established in Him. [GOASD]

Ode iv.

Now let Habakkuk as a God-inspired prophet stand with us, * keeping his divine watch, and show us * the angelic messenger, who, shining, utters glowingly, * “Today, for the world is salvation,* because arisen is Christ, being omnipotent.” [GOASD]

Ode v.

Arising at dawn very early, * instead of ointment, a hymn let us offer unto the Master, * and then we shall clearly see* Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, * causing true life to arise for all. [GOASD]

Ode vi.

You went down to the nether regions of earth, * and You broke apart the bars that forever * were closed on those who were held there, O Christ. * From the sepulcher, * as did Jonah from the whale, * You arose on the third day. [GOASD]

Ode vii.

The same One who delivered the Lads from fire, becoming a mortal man, * suffers in the flesh; and by His Passion He arrays * mortal nature with majesty, free of all * corruption, the only God of the fathers, * blessed and supremely glorious. [GOASD]

Ode viii.

Tunamsifu, tunamhimidi, na tunamsujudu Bwana.

We praise and we bless and we worship the Lord.

This is it, the Day which is chosen and holy, * Day One of the Sabbaths. * It is the queen-day, the Lord’s Day, * and the Feast of all feasts, * and the Festival above every festival, * on which we extol Christ and bless Him to the ages. [GOASD]

Ode ix. Katavasia. Mode 1.

The Angel cried aloud to the Lady full of grace: Rejoice, O pure Virgin; and again I say Rejoice. Your Son has truly risen from the grave on the third day.

Rom. 6:3 – 11

Brethren, all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like His. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For he who has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. [RSV]

At that time, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.
