On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were gathered, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ Θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου. Ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου, καὶ απὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διὰ παντός. Σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας· τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι. Ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ, καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι· πλυνεῖς με καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι. Ἀκουτιεῖς μοι ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην· ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστέα τεταπεινωμένα. Ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον. Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου. Μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ. Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με. Διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι. Ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου· ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου. Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις, καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου. Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις. Θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον· καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει. Ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιών, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἰερουσαλήμ. Τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα. Τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression. Wash me thoroughly from my lawlessness and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my lawlessness, and my sin is always before me. Against You only have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be justified in Your words, and overcome when You are judged. For behold, I was conceived in transgressions, and in sins my mother bore me. Behold, You love truth; You showed me the unknown and secret things of Your wisdom. You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; You shall wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow. You shall make me hear joy and gladness; my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice. Turn Your face from my sins, and blot out all my transgressions. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your guiding Spirit. I will teach transgressors Your ways, and the ungodly shall turn back to You. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall greatly rejoice in Your righteousness. O Lord, You shall open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise. For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; You will not be pleased with whole burnt offerings. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and humbled heart God will not despise. Do good, O Lord, in Your good pleasure to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built; then You will be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with offerings and whole burnt offerings; then shall they offer young bulls on Your altar.

Ee Mungu, unirehemu, sawasawa na fadhili zako. Kiasi cha wingi wa rehema zako, uyafute makosa yangu. Unioshe kabisa na uovu wangu, unitakase dhambi zangu. Maana nimejua mimi makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu i mbele yangu daima. Nimekutendea dhambi Wewe peke yako, na kufanya maovu mbele za macho yako. Wewe ujulikane kuwa una haki unenapo, na kuwa safi utoapo hukumu. Tazama, mimi naliumbwa katika hali ya uovu; mama yangu alinichukua mimba hatiani. Tazama, wapendezwa na kweli iliyo moyoni; nawe utanijulisha hekima kwa siri, unisafishe kwa hisopo nami nitakuwa safi, unioshe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji. Unifanye kusikia furaha na shangwe, mifupa uliyoiponda ifurahi. Usitiri uso wako usitazame dhambi zangu; uzifute hatia zangu zote. Ee Mungu, uniumbie moyo safi, uifanye upya roho iliyotulia ndani yangu. Usinitenge na uso wako, wala roho yako mtakatifu usiniondolee. Unirudishie furaha ya wokovu wako; unitegemeze kwa roho ya wepesi. Nitawafundisha wakosaji njia zako, na wenye dhambi watarejea kwako. Ee MUNGU, Mungu wa wokovu wangu, uniponye na damu za watu, na ulimi wangu utaiiimba haki yako. Ee Bwana, uifumbue midomo yangu, na kinywa changu kitazinena sifa zako. Maana hupendezwi na dhabihu au ningeitoa, Wewe huridhii sadaka ya kuteketezwa. Dhabihu za Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika; moyo uliovunjika na kupondeka, Ee Mungu, hutaudharau. Uitendee mema Sayuni kwa radhi yako, uzijenge kuta za Yerusalemu. Ndipo utakapopendezwa na dhabihu za haki, na sadaka za kuteketezwa, na kafara. Ndipo watakapotoa ng''ombe juu ya madhabahu yako.

After the Logos had dwelt among us in the flesh, John, that Son-of-Thunder, wrote, “We beheld the glory, which the Son had from the Father, in grace and truth.” To all of us, who received Him by faith, He gave power to become children of God. And now, born again, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, but raised by the Holy Spirit, we have erected a house of prayer, and we say, “Savior, establish forever this holy house.”

Σταυρὸν χαράξας Μωσῆς, ἐπʼ εὐθείας ῥάβδῳ, τὴν Ἐρυθρὰν διέτεμε, τῷ Ἰσραὴλ πεζεύσαντι· τὴν δὲ ἐπιστρεπτικῶς, Φαραὼ τοῖς ἅρμασι, κροτήσας ἥνωσεν, ἐπʼ εὔρους διαγράψας, τὸ ἀήττητον ὅπλον· διὸ Χριστῷ ᾄσωμεν, τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν ὅτι δεδόξασται.
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.

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.
Εἰσακήκοα Κύριε, τῆς οἰκονομίας σου τὸ μυστήριον, κατενόησα τὰ ἔργα σου, καὶ ἐδόξασά σου τὴν θεότητα.
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]

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]

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.

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]

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]

Ἤστραψεν ἡ ἄνωθεν, φωτοφανὴς αἴγλη λάμπουσα, καὶ τὰ πάντα φωτίζουσα· πιστῶς οὖν τιμήσωμεν, τὴν Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κτίστου, ἀνάστασιν πάντες, καὶ ἐγκαινίων ἱερῶν, τὴν ζωηφόρον θείαν πανήγυριν, ἐν ὕμνοις ἑορτάσωμεν, καὶ ἐν ψαλμοῖς ἀλαλάξωμεν, ὅπως ἵλεων εὔρωμεν, τὸν Σωτῆρα καὶ Κύριον.
Brightly has the radiance above us flashed forth and thrown its light * on all things and illumined us. * So let us now faithfully * praise the resurrection * of Christ our Creator; * and let us celebrate with hymns * the life-bestowing and holy festival, * the sacred consecration of the temple, and shout aloud in Psalms, * so that we might experience * Christ our Savior as merciful. [SD]
Αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν ἤχῳ σάλπιγγος, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ καὶ κιθάρᾳ.
Praise Him with the sound of trumpet; praise Him with the harp and lyre. [SAAS]
Msifuni kwa mvumo wa baragamu; msifuni kwa kinanda na kinubi [[SWA]]
Μέσον γῆς ὑψούμενον, προκατιδεῖν ἐφιέμενοι, τοῦ Σταυροῦ σκῆπτρον ἅγιον, ψυχὰς προκαθάρωμεν, ἀστραφθῶμεν φρένας, φωτὶ λαμπρυνθῶμεν, καὶ ἐν δυνάμει θεϊκῇ, καταυγασθέντες Χριστὸν ὑμνήσωμεν, τῷ ξύλῳ τῷ σεπτῷ αὐτοῦ, ἁγιασμὸν παρεχόμενον, τοῖς ἐν πίστει γεραίρουσι, καὶ θερμῶς αὐτὸν μέλπουσιν.
We who wish to see the holy scepter, namely the Cross of Christ, * to be raised in the midst of the earth, * should thoroughly purify * heart and soul beforehand, * have our minds illumined; * and thus made bright by the divine * power of God, let us sing in praise of Christ, * who sanctifies His servants by the holy wood of His precious Cross, * when we faithfully honor it * and we ardently sing His praise.
