Διὰ ξύλου ὁ Ἀδάμ…
Adam fell by a tree…
Διὰ ξύλου ὁ Ἀδάμ, Παραδείσου γέγονεν ἄποικος, διὰ ξύλου δὲ σταυροῦ, ὁ Λῃστὴς Παράδεισον ᾤκησεν. Ὁ μὲν γὰρ γευσάμενος ἐντολὴν ἠθέτησε τοῦ ποιήσαντος. Ὁ δὲ συσταυρούμενος, Θεὸν ὡμολόγησε τὸν κρυπτόμενον. Μνήσθητι καὶ ἡμῶν Σωτήρ, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ σου.
Adam fell by a tree, and he was evicted from Paradise. * By the tree of the Cross the Robber gained entrance to Paradise. * The former, by tasting fruit, disobeyed his Maker’s commandment not to eat. * The latter was crucified with Him, whom though hidden he confessed to be God. * Remember us as well in Your kingdom, O Savior.

Ἔδωκας σημείωσιν…
You have given…
Ἔδωκας σημείωσιν, τοῖς φοβουμένοις σε Κύριε, τὸν Σταυρόν σου τὸν τίμιον, διʼ οὗ ἐθριάμβευσας, τὰς ἀρχὰς τοῦ σκότους, καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας, καὶ ἐπανήγαγες ἡμᾶς, εἰς τὴν ἀρχαίαν μακαριότητα· διό σου τὴν φιλάνθρωπον, οἰκονομίαν δοξάζομεν, Ἰησοῦ παντοδύναμε, ὁ Σωτὴρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.
You have given those who fear You, Lord, a token, Your precious Cross, * having triumphed by means thereof * over Principalities and Powers of darkness. * Furthermore, by means of the Cross You brought us up again * to the beatitude that was ours of old. * O Jesus, the almighty Savior of our souls, we all glorify * Your benevolent plan, by which * You have saved the entire world.

You revealed yourself today…
Ἐπεφάνης σήμερον τῇ οἰκουμένῃ, καὶ τὸ φῶς σου Κύριε, ἐσημειώθη ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, ἐν ἐπιγνώσει ὑμνοῦντάς σε· Ἦλθες ἐφάνης τὸ Φῶς τὸ ἀπρόσιτον.
You revealed yourself today on earth, O Master, * and Your light was stamped on us, who in the knowledge of the truth, * O Lord, extol Your epiphany. * You came; You revealed yourself, O unapproachable Light.

Ἤθελον δάκρυσιν ἐξαλεῖψαι…
How I intended…
Ἤθελον δάκρυσιν ἐξαλεῖψαι, τῶν ἐμῶν πταισμάτων Κύριε τὸ χειρόγραφον, καὶ τὸ ὑπόλοιπον τῆς ζωῆς μου, διὰ μετανοίας εὐαρεστῆσαί σοι, ἀλλʼ ὁ ἐχθρὸς ἀπατᾷ με, καὶ πολεμεῖ τὴν ψυχήν μου. Κύριε, πρὶν εἰς τέλος ἀπόλωμαι, σῶσόν με.
How I intended, O Lord, to cancel * with my tears the bond against me of my iniquities, * and through repentance so to be pleasing * unto You throughout the remainder of my life. * But then the enemy fools me * and on my soul wages warfare. * Save me before I utterly perish, O Lord my God.

Κατεπλάγη Ἰωσήφ…
Joseph marveled…
Κατεπλάγη Ἰωσήφ, τὸ ὑπὲρ φύσιν θεωρῶν, καὶ ἐλάμβανεν εἰς νοῦν, τὸν ἐπὶ πόκον ὑετόν, ἐν τῇ ἀσπόρῳ συλλήψει σου Θεοτόκε, βάτον ἐν πυρὶ ἀκατάφλεκτον, ῥάβδον Ἀαρὼν τὴν βλαστήσασαν· καὶ μαρτυρῶν ὁ μνήστωρ σου καὶ φύλαξ, τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν ἐκραύγαζε· Παρθένος τίκτει, καὶ μετὰ τόκον, πάλιν μένει παρθένος.
Joseph marveled when he saw that which transcends nature’s laws: * You conceived without the seed of man, O Mother of God. * Then he remembered the dew on the fleece of Gideon, * the bush that Moses saw burning yet not consumed, * and Aaron’s rod that sprouted and blossomed forth. * And your betrothed and guardian bore witness * before the priests, and he cried aloud, * “The Virgin gives birth, and after childbirth * still she remains a virgin.”

Κύριε, ἀνελθὼν ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ…
Lord our God, You were lifted…
Κύριε ἀνελθὼν ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ, τὴν προγονικὴν ἡμῶν κατάραν ἐξήλειψας, καὶ κατελθὼν ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ, τοὺς ἀπʼ αἰῶνος δεσμίους ἠλευθέρωσας, ἀφθαρσίαν δωρούμενος τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῷ γένει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμνοῦντες δοξάζομεν, τὴν ζωοποιὸν καὶ σωτήριόν σου ἔγερσιν.
Lord our God, You were lifted on the Cross; * thereby You cancelled the curse incurred by our ancestors. * And then You went down to Hades * and freed the prisoners held there from eternity; * and You gave immortality to mankind, O our Savior. * Now we gratefully praise You and glorify * Your life-giving resurrection, by which You saved us all.

Ὁ ἐξ ὑψίστου κληθείς…
When you were called…
Ὁ ἐξ ὑψίστου κληθείς, οὐκ ἀπʼ ἀνθρώπων, ὅτε τὸ ἐπίγειον σκότος ἠμαύρωσε, τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου τοῦ σώματος, τῆς ἀσεβείας, δημοσιεῦον τὴν σκυθρωπότητα, τότε τὸ οὐράνιον, φῶς περιήστραψε, σῆς διανοίας τὰ ὄμματα, τῆς εὐσεβείας ἀνακαλύπτον τὴν ὡραιότητα· ὅθεν ἐπέγνως τὸν ἐξάγοντα, φῶς ἐκ σκότους Χριστὸν τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, ὂν ἱκέτευε σῶσαι, καὶ φωτίσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
When you were called not by men but by the Most High, * when the earthly darkness caused blindness to come upon * your body’s eyes, manifesting thus to all the people * the gloomy sullenness of impiety, * then it was that all around heavenly light shone forth, * dazzling the eyes of your reasoning, and thus revealing * to all the beauty of Orthodox belief. * Hence you acquired a full knowledge of Christ our God who from darkness brings out the light. * Therefore earnestly pray Him to illumine us and save our souls.

Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ…
You who were lifted…
Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἑκουσίως, τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ σου καινῇ πολιτείᾳ τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου δώρησαι, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός· εὔφρανον ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τοὺς πιστοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν, νίκας χορηγῶν αὐτοῖς κατὰ τῶν πολεμίων· τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔχοιεν τὴν σήν, ὅπλον εἰρήνης, ἀήττητον τρόπαιον.
You who were lifted on the cross voluntarily, * O Christ our God, bestow Your tender compassions * upon Your new community to which You gave Your name. * Cause our faithful emperors to be glad in Your power, * granting them the victories against their adversaries. * And for an ally, Lord, may they have You, * peace as their armor, the trophy invincible.
Ee Kristo, uliyeinuliwa msalabani kwa hiari, ipe rehema yako jamii mpya iliyo na jina lako. Wafurahishe watawala wetu waaminifu katika nguvu yako ukiwapa kushinda juu ya maadui wao. Tuwe na msaada wako ulio silaha ya amani na alama isioshindikana.

Ὡς γενναῖον ἐν Μάρτυσιν, ἀθλοφόρε Γεώργιε, συνελθόντες σήμερον, εὐφημοῦμέν σε, ὅτι τὸν δρόμον τετέλεκας, τὴν πίστιν τετήρηκας, καὶ ἐδέξω ἐκ Θεοῦ, τὸν τῆς νίκης σου στέφανον, ὂν ἱκέτευε, ἐκ φθορᾶς καὶ κινδύνων λυτρωθῆναι, τοὺς ἐν πίστει ἐκτελοῦντας, τὴν ἀεισέβαστον μνήμην σου.
To a brave one in martyr saints * we pay tribute to you today * gathered here together, victorious St. George. * For you completed the martyr’s course; * devoutly you kept the faith; * and from God you have received * laurel crowns for your victory. * Therefore supplicate * that He free from corruption and from dangers * those who loyally now honor * your ever-ven’rable memory.

Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε…
Come quickly…
Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε, πρὶν δουλωθῆναι ἡμᾶς, ἐχθροῖς βλασφημοῦσί σε, καὶ ἀπειλοῦσιν ἡμῖν, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν· ἄνελε τῷ Σταυρῷ σου, τοὺς ἡμᾶς πολεμοῦντας· γνώτωσαν πῶς ἰσχύει, Ὀρθοδόξων ἡ πίστις, πρεσβείαις τῆς Θεοτόκου, μόνε φιλάνθρωπε.
Come quickly, O Lord, and keep us from becoming enslaved * to foes who speak blasphemies against You, Christ our God, * and boastfully threaten us. * Annihilate by the power of Your Cross those who fight us. * Let them know how the faith of the Orthodox has power. * Only benevolent God, accept Your Mother’s prayers for us.
