Εὐσπλαγχνίας ὑπάρχουσα…
As the Mother of God…
Εὐσπλαγχνίας ὑπάρχουσα πηγή, συμπαθείας ἀξίωσον ἡμᾶς, Θεοτόκε, βλέψον εἰς λαὸν τὸν ἁμαρτήσαντα, δεῖξον ὡς ἀεὶ τὴν δυναστείαν σου· εἰς σὲ γὰρ ἐλπίζοντες, τὸ Χαῖρε βοῶμέν σοι, ὡς ποτὲ ὁ Γαβριήλ, ὁ τῶν Ἀσωμάτων Ἀρχιστράτηγος.
As the Mother of God, you are the source * of compassion. O Lady, count us worthy of pity. * Look upon us graciously, though we have sinned. * Demonstrate your power, as you always do. * For, placing our hope in you, * we cry out, Rejoice, to you, * as did Gabriel of old, * as the chief commander of the bodiless hosts.

Γυναῖκες ἀκουτίσθητε…
O Women, hearken…
Γυναῖκες ἀκουτίσθητε, φωνὴν ἀγαλλιάσεως, Τύραννον ᾍδην πατήσας, φθορᾶς ἐξήγειρα κόσμον, δράμετε φίλοις εἴπατε, τοῖς ἐμοῖς εὐαγγέλια· βούλομαι γὰρ τὸ πλάσμα μου, χαρὰν ἐκεῖθεν αὐγάσαι, ἐξ ἧς προῆλθεν ἡ λύπη.
O Women, hearken to the voice * that echoes with exultant joy. * Trampling on Hades, that tyrant, * I raised up all from corruption. * Run now with haste and tell my friends * good tidings as evangelists. * For I will that my creature see * joy distinctly arising * from woman, from whom came sorrow.

Ὅτε ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου…
Joseph took You down…
Ὅτε ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου σε νεκρόν, ὁ Ἀριμαθαίας καθεῖλε, τὴν τῶν ἁπάντων ζωήν, σμύρνῃ καὶ σινδόνι σε Χριστὲ ἐκήδευσε, καὶ τῷ πόθῳ ἠπείγετο, καρδίᾳ, καὶ χείλει, σῶμα τὸ ἀκήρατον, σοῦ περιπτύξασθαι, ὅμως συστελλόμενος φόβῳ, χαίρων ἀνεβόα σοι· Δόξα, τῇ συγκαταβάσει σου Φιλάνθρωπε.
Joseph took You down from the Cross * after You had died, and prepared You, O Christ, for burial. * Using myrrh, he wrapped you in a shroud, O Life of all. * And constrained by his ardent love, * he longed to embrace You, * pressing to Your spotless body his own heart and lips. * But restrained by fear, yet rejoicing, * he cried out, “Benevolent Savior, * glory be to You for coming down to us!”

Ποίοις εὐφημιῶν στέμμασιν…
Are there any worthy crowns…
Ποίοις εὐφημιῶν στέμμασιν, ἀναδήσωμεν Πέτρον καὶ Παῦλον; τοὺς διῃρημένους τοῖς σώμασι, καὶ ἡνωμένους τῷ Πνεύματι, τοὺς θεοκηρύκων πρωτοστάτας, τὸν μέν, ὡς τῶν Ἀποστόλων προεξάρχοντα, τὸν δέ, ὡς ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἄλλους κοπιάσαντα· τούτους γὰρ ὄντως ἀξίως, ἀθανάτου δόξης, διαδήμασι στεφανοῖ, Χριστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ ἔχων τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.
Are there any worthy crowns of praise * for Sts. Peter and Paul the Apostles? * Although they were physically separate, * yet in the Spirit they were unified. * They were the premiers among God’s heralds: * the one, who was the leader of the Apostles’ band; * the other, who truly labored more than all the rest. * They have been crowned with the halos * of immortal glory -- * being worthy of them indeed -- * by Christ our Lord and God, * the Savior who has the great mercy.

Σαρκὶ ὑπνώσας…
When You had slumbered…
Σαρκὶ ὑπνώσας ὡς θνητός, ὁ Βασιλεὺς καὶ Κύριος, τριήμερος ἐξανέστης, Ἀδὰμ ἐγείρας ἐκ φθορᾶς, καὶ καταργήσας θάνατον, Πάσχα τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, τοῦ κόσμου σωτήριον.
When You had slumbered in the flesh as one mortal, O King and Lord, You rose again on the third day, and raised up Adam from decay and rendered death of no effect. Pascha of incorruption, salvation of the world.

O Cross, you are the guardian of the whole world. * O Cross, you are the height of the Church’s beauty. * O Cross, you are what strengthens the Emperors. * O Cross, believers’ firm support. * O Cross, the glory of Angels * and the defeat of the demons.

In seeking the heights, connected to the things below, * and making your pillar a fiery chariot, * O Devout one, you became conversant with Angels by means thereof, * and with them on our behalf * you ceaselessly intercede with Christ our God.

Τοῖς Μαθηταῖς συνέλθωμεν…
On the mountain…
Τοῖς Μαθηταῖς συνέλθωμεν, ἐν ὄρει Γαλιλαίας, πίστει Χριστὸν θεάσασθαι, λέγοντα ἐξουσίαν, λαβεῖν τῶν ἄνω καὶ κάτω· μάθωμεν πῶς διδάσκει, βαπτίζειν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα, τοῦ Πατρός, ἔθνη πάντα, καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ, καὶ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, καὶ συνεῖναι, τοῖς μύσταις ὡς ὑπέσχετο, ἕως τῆς συντελείας.
On the mountain in Galilee * let us join the Disciples, * so that by faith we see and hear * Christ say that He was given * authority both in heaven * and on earth, and His teaching * on how to baptize nations all, * in the name of the Father and of the Son * and the Holy Spirit, and how He always * is with His Mystics, to the end * of the age, as He promised.
Tujikusanye pamoja na mitume mlimani; kwa imani tusike mafundisho ya Bwana, kubatiza mataifa, kama alivyosema, kwa Utatu mtakatifu. Naye yu pamoja nasi siku zote za maisha, yeye Kristo Mungu wetu, kama alivyoahidi ukamilifu wa dahari.

With the disciples witnessing, You ascended, * O Christ, unto the Father, to sit beside Him. * Angels ran before You and they cried aloud, * Lift up the gates, O lift them up. * Behold the King has ascended * to light-principial glory.

Τοὺς ἀσφαλεῖς καὶ θεοφθόγγους κήρυκας, τὴν κορυφὴν τῶν Μαθητῶν σου Κύριε, προσελάβου εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν, τῶν ἀγαθῶν σου καὶ ἀνάπαυσιν· τοὺς πόνους γὰρ ἐκείνων καὶ τὸν θάνατον, ἐδέξω ὑπὲρ πᾶσαν ὁλοκάρπωσιν, ὁ μόνος γινώσκων τὰ ἐγκάρδια.
You have taken to yourself, O Lord, the pinnacles of Your Disciples, those unerring theologians and preachers, to enjoy Your blessings and repose. For You accepted their labors and their death as being higher than any whole-burnt offering, for only You know what is in the heart.
