Ἐλέησόν με, ὁ Θεός, κατὰ τὸ μέγα ἔλεός σου, καὶ κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν σου ἐξάλειψον τὸ ἀνόμημά μου. Ἐπὶ πλεῖον πλῦνόν με ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνομίας μου, καὶ απὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διὰ παντός. Σοὶ μόνῳ ἥμαρτον, καὶ τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου ἐποίησα· ὅπως ἂν δικαιωθῇς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου, καὶ νικήσῃς ἐν τῷ κρίνεσθαί σε. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν ἀνομίαις συνελήφθην, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις ἐκίσσησέ με ἡ μήτηρ μου. Ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἀλήθειαν ἠγάπησας· τὰ ἄδηλα καὶ τὰ κρύφια τῆς σοφίας σου ἐδήλωσάς μοι. Ῥαντιεῖς με ὑσσώπῳ, καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι· πλυνεῖς με καὶ ὑπὲρ χιόνα λευκανθήσομαι. Ἀκουτιεῖς μοι ἀγαλλίασιν καὶ εὐφροσύνην· ἀγαλλιάσονται ὀστέα τεταπεινωμένα. Ἀπόστρεψον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου, καὶ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας μου ἐξάλειψον. Καρδίαν καθαρὰν κτίσον ἐν ἐμοί, ὁ Θεός, καὶ πνεῦμα εὐθὲς ἐγκαίνισον ἐν τοῖς ἐγκάτοις μου. Μὴ ἀποῤῥίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον μὴ ἀντανέλῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ. Ἀπόδος μοι τὴν ἀγαλλίασιν τοῦ σωτηρίου σου καὶ πνεύματι ἡγεμονικῷ στήριξόν με. Διδάξω ἀνόμους τὰς ὁδούς σου, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς ἐπὶ σὲ ἐπιστρέψουσι. Ῥῦσαί με ἐξ αἱμάτων, ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς σωτηρίας μου· ἀγαλλιάσεται ἡ γλῶσσά μου τὴν δικαιοσύνην σου. Κύριε, τὰ χείλη μου ἀνοίξεις, καὶ τὸ στόμα μου ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν αἴνεσίν σου. Ὅτι εἰ ἠθέλησας θυσίαν, ἔδωκα ἄν· ὁλοκαυτώματα οὐκ εὐδοκήσεις. Θυσία τῷ Θεῷ πνεῦμα συντετριμμένον· καρδίαν συντετριμμένην καὶ τεταπεινωμένην ὁ Θεὸς οὐκ ἐξουδενώσει. Ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ εὐδοκίᾳ σου τὴν Σιών, καὶ οἰκοδομηθήτω τὰ τείχη Ἰερουσαλήμ. Τότε εὐδοκήσεις θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ἀναφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα. Τότε ἀνοίσουσιν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου μόσχους.

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. [SAAS]

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.

Εὐφραίνου ἐν Κυρίῳ, ἡ τοῦ ὁσίου Δαυῒδ μάνδρα, ὡς ἔχουσα ἐν κόλποις σου, ὡς χρυσίον πεπυρωμένον, τὸν σημειοφόρον τάφον, τοῦ πανευφήμου Ἰακώβου τοῦ νέου· οὗτος γὰρ ὁ μακάριος, ἐραστὴς τῆς μοναδικῆς πολιτείας γενόμενος, καὶ ἀμφιασθεὶς τὸν χιτῶνα τῆς Ἱερωσύνης, πολλοὺς ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ κειμένους ἀνέστησε, καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τῇ δυνάμει, πλῆθος σημείων ἐτέλεσε· διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν, ἱκέτιδας τείνομεν χεῖρας, καὶ θερμῶς ἀντιβολοῦμεν· θαυματουργὲ πάτερ, ἱκέτευε διηνεκῶς τὸν Κύριον, ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.

Rejoice in the Lord, O Monastery of St. David, for you are in possession of a treasure, like refined gold, the miraculous tomb of the all-lauded new Saint Iakovos. This blessed man, who was a lover of the monastic life, and who was an ordained priest, raised many people who were lying in sin; and by the power of Christ, he performed many signs and miracles. Therefore we now stretch out our hands in prayer to him, and we supplicate him fervently, “O wonder-working father, continually entreat the Lord, on behalf of your souls.” [SD]

Ὑψώθης ὡς κέδρος ὑψίκομος, ἐν τῇ Μονῇ Δαυῒδ τοῦ Ὁσίου, πολλοὺς καρποὺς ἐνέγκας, πάτερ Ἰάκωβε· σὺ γὰρ τῇ σῇ χάριτι ἐξέθρεψας, τὸν λαὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐπιτελῶν σημεῖα, ἰώμενος τοὺς ἀσθενεῖς, νουθετῶν τοὺς προσερχομένους σοι, ἁγιάζων ὡς θύτης πάντας τοὺς πιστούς, ποδηγετῶν τοὺς μοναχούς, καὶ θαυμαστῶς προλέγων, τὰ πρὸς σωτηρίαν ῥήματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις· ὅθεν Γέρον μακάριε, ἐξ αὐτῶν ὠθούμενοι λέγομεν· Ἀσκητὰ πανθαύμαστε, γενοῦ ἡμῖν ἀρωγὸς καὶ προστάτης, φυλάττων ἡμᾶς, ἀπὸ πάσης κακότητος καὶ ἐπινοίας, τοῦ ἀρχεκάκου δράκοντος.

You were exalted, like a tall cedar, in the Monastery of “Hosios Davíd”; and you produced many fruits, O father Iakovos. By the divine grace that you had, you nourished the people of God: you performed signs, you heal the sick, you counseled those who came to you, as a priest you sanctified all the faithful, you directed the monks, and you wondrously foretold to people what was needed for their salvation. And now, O blessed Elder Iakovos, with all this in mind, we say to you: “Most wonderful Ascetic, be for us a helper and defender, and preserve us from every wickedness of the dragon, that inventor of evil, who plots against us.” [SD]

Ἦχος γʹ.

Mode 3.

Ἐγώ εἰμι γῆ καὶ σποδός, πολλάκις ἔλεγες τοῖς συνοῦσί σοι, ὅσιε Ἰάκωβε· σὺ γὰρ ὤφθης τῆς ταπεινώσεως σύζυγος, ἁπλοῦς καὶ φιλάνθρωπος, καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἐν τῇ Μονῇ, τὰ οἰδήματα τῆς ψυχῆς θεραπεύων, τῶν προσερχομένων ἐν σοὶ μετὰ πίστεως· ἄλλων μὲν ἐν διακρίσει πολλῇ, τὴν ἀλαζονείαν ἀπέκοπτες, ἑτέρων δὲ ὡς ἔμπειρος τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἰατρὸς ἰάσω, τῆς ἁμαρτίας τὰ πολύμορφα τραύματα, τύπος γενόμενος τοῖς μονάζουσι, καὶ κοσμικοῖς ὁμοίως, οὓς τῇ σῇ χάριτι ἐνισχύεις, πρεσβεύων πρὸς τοῦτο, Ἰησοῦ τῷ Σωτῆρι, θεομακάριστε.

“I am but earth and ashes,” is what you said many times to those around you, O devout St. Iakovos. Indeed humility was your partner in life. You were simple and humane. Every day in your Monastery, you would cure the tumors of the soul of those who came to you with faith. For others, with much discernment, you amputated their conceit. And as an experienced physician of Christ, you healed the various wounds that were left by sin. You became a role model for both monastics and the laity. You prayed for them to Jesus our Savior, and you strengthened them, by the divine grace in you, O holy man blessed by God. [SD]

Βίον ἔχων κηλίδων ἄμικτον, τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος γέγονας καταγώγιον, καὶ ὡς ἥλιος ἤστραψας, ἐν τοῖς ἐσχάτοις χρόνοις, αὐγάζων τῆς ψυχῆς τὴν σκοτόμαιναν, πολλῶν μερόπων πανόσιε Ἰάκωβε· διὸ καὶ μετὰ θάνατον, εἰς ἀγάπης ἀντέκτισιν, ὁ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ποιητὴς Κύριος, τὸν τάφον σου ἀνέδειξεν, ἰατρεῖον ἀδάπανον, τῶν ποικίλως νοσούντων, πηγὴν χαρᾶς καὶ εὐφορίας, παιδίων ἁπαλῶν, καὶ ὡρίμων ἀνθρώπων, φυγαδευτήριον δαιμόνων, καὶ πολλῶν δωρεῶν τοῖς πιστοῖς πρόξενον· ὃν καὶ ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦντες, σοῦ δεόμεθα, ταῖς σαῖς εὐχαῖς λυτρωθῆναι, ἐκ τῶν λυπηρῶν τοῦ βίου, καὶ τῆς πολλῆς κατηφείας, τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν.

You led a life free of stain, and thus you became the dwelling of the Holy Spirit. You shone brightly, like the sun, in recent years, shining light on the darkened souls of many people, O all-devout St. Iakovos. That is why after your death, as a reward for your love, the Lord and Maker of all that is good, made your tomb to be a free clinic, for those with various illnesses. It has become a source of joy and prosperity, for young children and mature adults alike. It drives away demons, and it brings many blessings to the faithful. And now, as we venerate it, we entreat you: By your prayers, give us relief from the sorrows of life, and from the sadness resulting from our sins. [SD]

Ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει σου τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἐκτήσω, ὡς ἔνσαρκος ἄγγελος, πάτερ Ἰάκωβε· ἐν σοὶ γὰρ ἀνεπαύσατο τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, κατὰ τὴν φωνὴν τοῦ Κυρίου τὴν λέγουσαν, ἐπὶ τίνα ἐπιβλέψω, ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐπὶ τὸν ταπεινὸν καὶ ἡσύχιον, καὶ τρέμοντά μου τοὺς λόγους· διό σε ὁ Χριστὸς ἐδόξασε, καὶ ἐν ζωῇ καὶ μετὰ θάνατον, χορηγῶν σοι τὴν ἰαματικὴν χάριν, πρὸς στήριξιν ἡμῶν τῶν ἀδυνάτων, ὃν καθικέτευε, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

By your humility, you obtained the things on high, like an incarnate angel, O father Iakovos. The Holy Spirit rested in you, according to the word of the Lord, who said: “Upon whom will I show respect, but to the humble and the peaceful and to him who trembles at My words.” That is why Christ glorified you, both during your life and after death. He gave you the grace to heal, and to support us who are infirm. Now entreat Him earnestly, for the salvation of our souls. [SD]

A joyous day has dawned, a most venerable feast day. For today, she who would be a virgin before childbirth, and who would remain a virgin after childbirth, is brought to the Temple. Zacharias the elder, the father of the Forerunner, rejoices and in ecstasy announces: “She has arrived, she who is anticipated by an afflicted people! She comes, as one holy, to the holy Temple, to be dedicated as the dwelling place of the King of all!” Let Joakeim the forefather be glad, and let Anna be exultant, for they offered to God the blameless Maiden, like a three-year old heifer. Μothers, rejoice with them, and virgins, leap for joy, and barren women, join in dance; for the kingdom of heaven has been opened to us, by the girl who was fore-ordained to be the Queen of all. O people everywhere, rejoice and be glad! [SD]

Uliye wa thamani kushinda waheruvi, uliye na utukufu kuwapita bila kiasi waserafi, uliyemzaa Mungu neno, umebaki bila kukuharibu, uliye mzazi-Mungu kweli tunakutukuza we.

Ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου εὐλόγησον, πάτερ.

In the name of the Lord, Father, bless!

Kwa jina la Bwana, Ee Padri bariki.
