Ee Mwema, uliyezaliwa na Bikira kwa ajili yetu, na kuvumilia mateso ya msalaba, na ukanyauka mauti kwa mauti, na kuonyesha ufufuo kwa sababu u Mungu: Usiwaache hao ambao uliwaumba kwa mkono wako; Ee Mwenye rehema, uonyeshe upendo wako kwa wanadamu; na kumpokea Mzazi-Mungu aliyekuzaa ambaye anatuombea kwa Wewe; na uwaokoe hawa ambao hawana kimbilio, Ee Mwokozi wetu. [[SWA]]

You were born of a Virgin, and You endured crucifixion for us, O good Lord. By Your death You divested death of spoils, and You displayed resurrection, as God. Please do not despise us, the work of Your hand. Demonstrate Your loving kindness, O merciful Master. Defer to Your Mother, the Theotokos, when she intercedes on our behalf, and save us, Your people in despair, O Savior. [GOASD]

In a wonderful manner you have received * from the heavens from Christ our Savior and God * the gift to work miracles. * And you continue to cure all ills. * For the grace of the Spirit was clearly active in you, * manifesting its power in healings and divine cures. * Therefore, by your faith and your unmercenary mindset, * you gained an abundance of incorruptible blessings, * O God-bearing Unmercenaries. * Intercede with Christ our God * that He grant forgiveness of offenses * to those who with longing observe your holy memory.

READER

Zaburi ya 50 (51).

Psalm 50 (51).

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. [[SWA]]

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.

You received the grace of healing, and thus extend health to those in need, O glorious wonder-working Physicians. We pray that by your visitation you will also bring down the insolence of our enemies, and that you will cure the world by your miracles. [SD]

Oikos.

Surpassing all understanding and wisdom is the speech of the wise physicians, who impart knowledge to all; for they received the grace of the Most High, and to all invisibly grant health. Therefore to me they have granted the gift of narration, in order to extol them as God-bearers and servants of Christ, pleasing and acceptable, who provide many cures. They relieve everyone from pain, and they cure the world by their miracles. [SD]

Ode i. Mode 4.

Nitafumbua kinywa changu na kitajazwa na roho na nitatoa maneno kwa malkia mama na kuonekana nikishangilia sana na kuimbia miujiza yake kwa mteremo. [[SWA]]

I open my mouth and pray the Spirit fill it, like David said, * to pour out a good word to the Queen and Mother of God. * I will celebrate * her feast with joy and gladness * and sing to her merrily, lauding her miracles. [GOASD]

Ode iii.

Mzazi-Mungu kama chemichemi hai tena tele uwaimarishe wanaokusifu, wakifanya mkutano wa roho na uwastahilishe kuwa na taji kwa utukufu wako wa umungu. [[SWA]]

Establish your servants who extol you, * O Mother of God, for they have formed * a spiritual choir for you * the living and abundant fount; * and graciously in your divine glory give glorious crowns to them. [GOASD]

Ode iv.

Nabii Habakuki akielewa upendo wa umungu usiochunguzika ili upate mwili kwa Bikira alipaza sauti: Utukufu kwa uwezo wako, Ee Bwana. [[SWA]]

When the Prophet Habakkuk heard the divine * and incomprehensible counsel of Your Incarnation * from the Virgin, O Most High, * considering, he cried aloud: * Glory to Your strength, O Lord my God. [GOASD]

Ode v.

Ulimwengu wote ulistaajabia utukufu wako wa umungu kwa kuwa wee Bikira usiyeolewa; uliyekuwa na roho na ulimzaa Mwana asiye na mwanzo, anayegawia wokovu wote wanaokusifu. [[SWA]]

Amazed was the universe by your divine magnificence. * You who were perpetually virgin * carried the heavenly God of all in your womb * and gave birth to the eternal Son, * who awards salvation to all who sing hymns of praise to you. [GOASD]

O godly-minded believers, come * and celebrate this sacred and venerable feast and thus extol * the Theotokos, and clap our hands, * and glorify our God who was truly born of her. [GOASD]

Ode vii.

Waliyofikiria umungu hawakuabudu viumbe badala ya Mungu, lakini wakishinda ogofyo la moto kwa uhodari walishangilia na kuimba; wahimidiwa Bwana na Mungu wa mababa wetu. [[SWA]]

Godly-minded three * did not adore created things in the Creator’s stead; * rather, disdaining the threat * of fire, they trampled it, and joyfully they sang: * “O supremely praised * and most exalted Lord and God * of the fathers, You are blessed.” [GOASD]

Ode viii.

Tunamsifu, tunamhimidi, na tunamsujudu Bwana.

We praise and we bless and we worship the Lord.

Mzao wa Mzazi-Mungu aliwaokoa vijana wenye haki toka tanurini zamani zile kama alama na sasa ni utimilifu wa uzao; kwa kusanyiko ulimwengu wote ukiimba: Enyi viumbe vyote, msifuni Bwana milele na milele. [[SWA]]

Guiltless were those Servants in the furnace. * The Son of the Theotokos went and rescued them. * He who was prefigured then, * having been incarnate now, * is gathering the whole wide world into His Church to sing: * “O all you works of the Lord, to all ages * sing praises to the Lord and exalt Him beyond measure.” [GOASD]
