When You descended unto Death, O Lord, You who are immortal Life put Hades to death, by the lightning of Your divinity. And when You raised the dead from the netherworld, all the hosts of heaven sang aloud to You, “O Christ God, Giver of life, glory to You!” [GOASD]

Your Martyrs, O Lord, were worthily awarded by You * the crowns of incorruption, in that they contested for You our immortal God. * Since they possessed Your power, they defeated the tyrants, * dashing the demons’ powerless displays of defiance. * O Christ God, at their fervent entreaties, save our souls.

O Theotokos, revealed through you to us on earth was the mystery, that was hidden for ages and unknown by the angels. God became incarnate, uniting natures without confusion, and for us He voluntarily accepted crucifixion, through which He resurrected the first-formed man, and He saved our souls from death. [GOASD]

Siri ili iliyofichiwa toka milele, hata malaika hawakuijua, Ee Mzazi-Mungu, kupitia kwako ilijulikana kwa watu wote; maana Mungu alipata mwili kwako kwa umoja bila kuungamana, tena kwa hiari akakubali mateso ya msalaba kwa ajili yetu; na kwa ule msalaba akamfufuka Adamu, akaokoa roho zetu mautini.

When the hosts of the Angels saw how You were accounted among the dead, they all marveled. You, O Savior, are the One who destroyed the might of death; and when You arose You raised Adam with yourself and from Hades liberated everyone. [SD]

“Why do you mingle the ointments with your tears full of pity, O women disciples?” Thus the Angel who was shining in the tomb cried to the myrrh-bearing women. “See for yourselves the empty tomb and understand, that the Savior has risen from the sepulcher.”

Enyi binti wanafunzi, kwa nini mnachanganya machozi na manukato kwa huzuni? Malaika aliyemetameta kaburini aliwaambia wanawake walioleta manukato; tazameni kaburini na kufahamu kwamba mwokozi amefufuka shimoni.

Very early in the morning, the myrrh-bearing women were hastening to Your tomb lamenting. But the Angel appeared to them and uttered, “The time for lamentation has ended; weep no more. Go announce the Resurrection to the Apostles.”

Alfajiri mapema wanawake walioleta manukato wakienda haraka kaburini pako, Ee Bwana, na kuomboleza. Lakini Malaika aliwajia na kuwaambia. Wakati wa maombolezo umekuisha, msilie; ila wapashe mitume habari ya Ufufuo.

When the myrrh-bearing women had come with their spices to Your sepulcher, O Savior, they heard the voice of an Angel clearly speaking to them, “Why do you account among the dead the One who lives? For as God, He has risen from the sepulcher.”

Wanawake walioleta manukato wakija nayo kaburini pako, Ee Mwokozi, walisikia Malaika akiwaambia kwa sauti ya nguvu; kwa nini mnadhani aliye hai katika wafu? Kwa kuwa ni Mungu amefufuka shimoni.

Giving birth to the Giver of life, O Virgin, you delivered Adam from sin, and to Eve you have rendered joy in place of sorrow. He who from you became incarnate, God and man, has directed to life him who fell from it.

Ἀνέστης Σωτήρ, ἐκ τάφου παντοδύναμε, καὶ ᾅδης ἰδών, τὸ θαῦμα ἐξεπλήττετο, καὶ νεκροὶ ἀνίσταντο, καὶ ἡ κτίσις ἰδοῦσα συγχαίρει σοι, καὶ ὁ Ἀδάμ συναγάλλεται, καὶ κόσμος Σωτήρ μου ἀνυμνεῖ σε ἀεί.

Omnipotent Lord, You rose from the sepulcher. * The netherworld saw the miracle and was stupefied, * for the dead were also raised. * But creation saw it and rejoiced with You; * Adam also greatly rejoiced. * O my Savior, the world forever sings Your praise. [GOASD]

Umefufuka, Ee Mwokozi, toka kaburini; na kuzimu kukiona ile miujiza kulishangaa; wafu wamefufuka na viumbe vyote vikiona hivyo vyafurahi pamoja na Wewe; Adamu ashangilia pia, na ulimwengu wakusifu daima, Ee Mwokozi wangu. [[SWA]]

You, O Word of God, are the light of those in the darkness. You are the resurrection and the life of all humanity. When You destroyed the power of death and smashed the gates of Hades, You raised everyone with yourself. Mortals saw the miracle and marveled, All creation rejoices with You in Your resurrection, O benevolent Lord. So we all now glorify and extol Your condescension, O my Savior, and the world forever sings Your praise. [GOASD]

At that time, Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb, and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus has lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and she told them that he had said these things to her.

Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις.

For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; You will not be pleased with whole burnt offerings.

Maana hupendezwi na dhabihu au ningeitoa, Wewe huridhii sadaka ya kuteketezwa.

Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Θεὸν ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν ἐν στερεώματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.

Praise God in His saints; praise Him in the firmament of His power. [SAAS]

Εἰπάτωσαν Ἰουδαῖοι, πῶς οἱ στρατιῶται ἀπώλεσαν, τηροῦντες τὸν Βασιλέα; Διατί γὰρ ὁ λίθος οὐκ ἐφύλαξε τὴν πέτραν τῆς ζωῆς; ἢ τὸν ταφέντα δότωσαν, ἢ ἀναστάντα προσκυνείτωσαν, λέγοντες σὺν ἡμῖν· Δόξα τῷ πλήθει τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου, Σωτὴρ ἡμῶν δόξα σοι.

Let the Jewish leaders explain it. How did the soldiers lose the King, whom they were guarding? Why couldn’t the stone secure the rock of life? Either produce Him who was buried, or else worship Him as risen from the dead, then join us and say, “Glory to the abundance of Your tender mercies, our Savior, glory to You!” [GOASD]

Χαίρετε λαοί, καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε. Ἄγγελος ἐκάθισεν εἰς τὸν λίθον τοῦ μνήματος· αὐτὸς ἡμᾶς εὐηγγελίσατο εἰπών· Χριστὸς ἀνέστη ἐκ νεκρῶν, ὁ Σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου, καὶ ἐπλήρωσε τὰ σύμπαντα εὐωδίας. Χαίρετε λαοί, καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε.

Rejoice and be glad, all people! An Angel sat on the stone of the tomb. And he announced to us the good news and said, “Christ has risen from the dead, as the Savior of the world; and He has filled the universe with fragrance.” Rejoice and be glad, all people! [GOASD]

Ἄγγελος μὲν τὸ Χαῖρε, πρὸ τῆς σῆς συλλήψεως Κύριε, τῇ Κεχαριτωμένῃ ἐκόμισεν· Ἄγγελος δὲ τὸν λίθον τοῦ ἐνδόξου σου μνήματος, ἐν τῇ σῇ ἀναστάσει ἐκύλισεν. Ὁ μέν, ἀντὶ τῆς λύπης, εὐφροσύνης σύμβολα μηνύων, ὁ δέ, ἀντὶ θανάτου, Δεσπότην ζωοδότην κηρύττων ἡμῖν. Διὸ βοῶμέν σοι· Εὐεργέτα τῶν ἁπάντων Κύριε δόξα σοι.

Before Your conception, an Angel brought the salutation, “Rejoice!” to the Maiden full of grace. Again, at Your resurrection, an Angel rolled away the stone from Your glorious tomb, O Lord. The one brought a promise of joy, replacing the pain and sorrow. The other declared that the Master gives life, reversing the threat of death. Therefore we sing to You: Lord and benefactor of all, glory to You! [GOASD]

Τὰ τῆς Μαρίας δάκρυα οὐ μάτην χεῖνται θερμῶς· ἰδοὺ γὰρ κατηξίωται, καὶ διδασκόντων Ἀγγέλων, καὶ τῆς ὄψεως τῆς σῆς, ὦ Ἰησοῦ· ἀλλʼ ἔτι πρόσγεια φρονεῖ, οἷα γυνὴ ἀσθενής· διὸ καὶ ἀποπέμπεται, μὴ προσψαῦσαί σοι Χριστέ. Ἀλλʼ ὅμως κήρυξ πέμπεται τοῖς σοῖς Μαθηταῖς, οἷς εὐαγγέλια ἔφησε, τὴν πρὸς τὸν πατρῷον κλῆρον ἄνοδον ἀπαγγέλλουσα. Μεθʼ ἧς ἀξίωσον καὶ ἡμᾶς, τῆς ἐμφανείας σου, Δέσποτα Κύριε.

When Mary ardently shed her tears, it was not in vain. Behold, she was counted worthy of having angels teach her, and of laying eyes on You, O Jesus. But, as a weak woman, her thinking was still earthbound, and therefore she was prevented from laying hands on You, O Christ. Nevertheless, she was sent as a herald to Your disciples; and she told them the good news, and announced that You were ascending to Your Father. O Master, we pray that as with her You also make us worthy of Your appearance, O Lord. [GOASD]

You are supremely blessed, O Virgin Theotokos. For through Him who from you became incarnate, Hades has been captured, and Adam has been called back; the curse has been killed, and Eve has been freed; death has been put to death, and we have been brought back to life. Therefore we extol Him and cry out, “O Christ our God, You are blessed, for so was Your good pleasure. Glory to You!” [GOASD]
