As the Third Antiphon is being sung (with its verses), the Priest and Deacon bow three times before the holy Table. Then the Priest gives the holy Gospel to the Deacon, who kisses the Priest’s hand as he receives it, and then circles the holy Table with the Priest following him. Preceded by altar servers holding candles and fans, they exit through the north door for the so-called Small Entrance. When there is no Deacon, the Priest takes the holy Gospel and holds it up in front of his face. When they reach the center of the church, they stop and bow their heads, and the Deacon says in a low voice:

You give wisdom and understanding to the one who asks, and You overlook not the sinner, but have set repentance as the way of salvation. You have granted us, Your humble and unworthy servants, to stand even at this hour before the glory of Your holy Altar of sacrifice and to offer to You due worship and praise. Master, accept the Trisagion Hymn also from the lips of us sinners, and visit us in Your goodness. Forgive all our voluntary and involuntary transgressions, sanctify our souls and bodies, and grant that we may worship You in holiness all the days of our lives, through the intercessions of the holy Theotokos and of all the saints who have pleased You throughout the ages.

Ee Mungu, uliye Mtakatifu, na kukaa ndani ya watakatifu; unayesifiwa na waserafi kwa sauti takatifu ya Utatu, tena waadhimishwa na waheruvi, na kusujudiwa na nguvu zote za mbinguni juu; uliyefanya vitu vyote toka bure, na vikawa. Uliye mwumba binadamu kwa sura na mfano wako, tena kumpamba kwa vipaji vyotevya neema yako. Unayempa yeyote anaye kuuliza hekima na busara, usiye mdharau mwenye dhambi, bali ulimwekea kutubu, kama njia ya wokovu; Uliye tustahilisha hata sisi watumwa wako, wanyenyekevu na wasiostahili, hata wakati huu kusimama mbele ya utukufu wa madhabahu yako matakatifu, na kukuletea kusujudu na sifa iliyo haki zako. Bwana, upokee wimbo huu wa Utatu Mtakatifu tunao utoa midomoni mwetu, sisi wanadamu wenye dhambi, na ututembelee kwa wema wako. Utusamehe kila dhambi ambayo tumeifanya kwa hiari ama kwa kutotaka, Utakase roho na miili yetu, na utustahilishe kukuabudu kwa utakatifu siku zote za maisha yetu, kwa maombi ya Mzazi-Mungu wetu mtakatifu, na ya Watakatifu wote waliokupendeza tangu milele.

Tunakushukuru, Ee Bwana Mungu wa Majeshi, Ambaye umetustahirisha ata sasa kusimama mbele ya Madhabahu yako atakatifu na kuanguka mbele Zako tukiomba rehema Zako kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu na zile watu wako walizotenda bila kujua. Kubali, Ee Bwana maombi yetu. Tustahilishe kukuletea maombi, teto na hata dhabihu isiyo ya damu kwa ajili ya watu wako. Na utustahilishe kwa uwexa wa Roho Wako Mtakatifu, kwamba sisi uliotawaza kwa huduma hii Yako, tuwe bila lawama au kifungo, na kwamba tukishuhudiwa na fikra isiyo na lawama, tuweze kukuita wakati wowote na mahali popote, na ili kwamba, ukitusikia, uweze kutuhurumia kupitia kwa wema wako mkuu.

Πάλιν καὶ πολλάκις σοὶ προσπίπτομεν καὶ σοῦ δεόμεθα, ἀγαθὲ καὶ φιλάνθρωπε, ὅπως ἐπιβλέψας ἐπὶ τὴν δέησιν ἡμῶν καθαρίσῃς ἡμῶν τὰς ψυχὰς καὶ τὰ σώματα ἀπὸ παντὸς μολυσμοῦ σαρκὸς καὶ πνεύματος καὶ δῴης ἡμῖν ἀνένοχον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον τὴν παράστασιν τοῦ ἁγίου σου θυσιαστηρίου. Χάρισαι δέ, ὁ Θεός, καὶ τοῖς συνευχομένοις ἡμῖν προκοπὴν βίου καὶ πίστεως καὶ συνέσεως πνευματικῆς· δὸς αὐτοῖς πάντοτε, μετὰ φόβου καὶ ἀγάπης λατρεύουσί σοι, ἀνενόχως καὶ ἀκατακρίτως μετέχειν τῶν ἁγίων σου μυστηρίων καὶ τῆς ἐπουρανίου σου βασιλείας ἀξιωθῆναι.

Grant also, O God, to those who pray with us, progress in life, faith, and spiritual understanding. Grant that they always worship You with awe and love, partake of Your holy sacrament without guilt or condemnation, and be deemed worthy of Your celestial kingdom.

ΕΥΧΗ ΤΟΥ ΧΕΡΟΥΒΙΚΟΥ ΥΜΝΟΥ

PRAYER OF THE CHERUBIC HYMN

SALA YA WIMBO WA WAHERUVI

Οὐδεὶς ἄξιος τῶν συνδεδεμένων ταῖς σαρκικαῖς ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς προσέρχεσθαι ἢ προσεγγίζειν ἢ λειτουργεῖν σοι, βασιλεῦ τῆς δόξης· τὸ γὰρ διακονεῖν σοι μέγα καὶ φοβερὸν καὶ αὐταῖς ταῖς ἐπουρανίαις δυνάμεσιν. Ἀλλ’ ὅμως διὰ τὴν ἄφατον καὶ ἀμέτρητόν σου φιλανθρωπίαν ἀτρέπτως καὶ ἀναλλοιώτως γέγονας ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀρχιερεὺς ἡμῶν ἐχρημάτισας καὶ τῆς λειτουργικῆς ταύτης καὶ ἀναιμάκτου θυσίας τὴν ἱερουργίαν παρέδωκας ἡμῖν ὡς Δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων. Σὺ γὰρ μόνος, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, δεσπόζεις τῶν ἐπουρανίων καὶ τῶν ἐπιγείων, ὁ ἐπὶ θρόνου χερουβικοῦ ἐποχούμενος, ὁ τῶν Σεραφὶμ Κύριος καὶ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁ μόνος ἅγιος καὶ ἐν ἁγίοις ἀναπαυόμενος. Σὲ τοίνυν δυσωπῶ τὸν μόνον ἀγαθὸν καὶ εὐήκοον· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν καὶ ἀχρεῖον δοῦλόν σου καὶ καθάρισόν μου τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ τὴν καρδίαν ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς· καὶ ἱκάνωσόν με τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ ἁγίου σου Πνεύματος, ἐνδεδυμένον τὴν τῆς ἱερατείας χάριν, παραστῆναι τῇ ἁγίᾳ σου ταύτῃ τραπέζῃ καὶ ἱερουργῆσαι τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἄχραντόν σου Σῶμα καὶ τὸ τίμιον Αἷμα. Σοὶ γὰρ προσέρχομαι κλίνας τὸν ἐμαυτοῦ αὐχένα καὶ δέομαί σου· μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, μηδὲ ἀποδοκιμάσῃς με ἐκ παίδων σου, ἀλλ’ ἀξίωσον προσενεχθῆναί σοι ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ ἀναξίου δούλου σου τὰ δῶρα ταῦτα. Σὺ γὰρ εἶ ὁ προσφέρων καὶ προσφερόμενος καὶ προσδεχόμενος καὶ διαδιδόμενος, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ σοὶ τὴν δόξαν ἀναπέμπομεν σὺν τῷ ἀνάρχῳ σου Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ παναγίῳ καὶ ἀγαθῷ καὶ ζωοποιῷ σου Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.

No one bound by carnal desires and pleasures is worthy to approach, draw near, or minister to You, the King of Glory. For to serve You is great and awesome even for the heavenly powers. Yet, because of Your ineffable and immeasurable love for humankind, You impassibly and immutably became man. You, as the Master of all, became our high priest and delivered unto us the sacred service of this liturgical and bloodless sacrifice. Indeed, Lord our God, You alone reign over the celestial and the terrestrial; borne aloft on the cherubic throne, Lord of the Seraphim and King of Israel, the only holy and resting among the holy ones. I now beseech You, who alone are good and inclined to hear: Look down upon me, Your sinful and unprofitable servant, and cleanse my soul and heart of a wicked conscience. Vested as I am with the grace of priesthood by the power of Your Holy Spirit, make me sufficient to stand before Your holy Table and perform the sacrament of Your holy and pure Body and Your precious Blood. I come before You, with my head bowed, and I implore You: Turn not Your face away from me, nor reject me from among Your children, but make me, Your sinful and unworthy servant, worthy to offer these gifts to You. For You are the One who both offers and is offered, the One who is received and is distributed, O Christ our God, and to You we offer up glory, and to Your Father, who is without beginning, and Your all-holy and good and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Mtu wa tamaa na anasa za mwili hastahili kukujia au kukukaribia na kukuabudu, Ee mfalme wa utukufu; kwa kuwa kukutumikia ni kwa hofu sana, hata kwa Majeshi wa mbinguni: Lakini kwa kuwa unapenda binadamu kwa hali ya ajabu, umejifanya Kuhani Mkubwa wetu bila kujigeuza au kubadilika; na wewe ndiwe umetupatia kuadhimisha dhabihu hii isiyo na damu, wewe uliye Bwana wa Mabwana wa vitu vyote. Kwa kuwa ndiwe, Bwana Mungu wetu wa pekee watawala vilivyo mbinguni na duniani, unayeketi katika kiti cha enzi begani mwa Wakheruvi, uliye Bwana wa Waserafi tena mfalme wa Israeli. Ndiwe Mtakatifu wa pekee uliyepumzika kati ya watakatifu, basi nakusihi wewe uliye mwema pekee na kusikia rahisi; uniangazie mimi mtumwa wako mwenye dhambi na asiyefaa; utakase roho na moyo wangu na kila dhamira mbaya; tena unijalie kwa nguvu ya roho Mtakatifu ili, nikivaa neema ya ukasisi, nisimame mbele ya Meza yako hii Takatifu; na kuadhimisha Mwili wako Mtakatifu na wa usafi na Damu yako ya thamani. Kwa kuwa nakujia wewe, nikiinamisha shingo yangu, nakusihi ; usinifiche uso wako; mbali mimi mtumwa wako mwenye dhambi nisiyestahili, unistahilishe kukuletea vipaji hivi. Kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe uliyetoa na uliyetolewa, uliyepokea tena uliyegawanya, Ee Kristo Mungu wetu, na kwako tunatoa utukufu, pamoja na Baba yako asiye, na mwanzo na kwa Roho wako Mtakatifu kamili, mwema na mpaji wa uhai, sasa na siku zote, hata milele na milele.
