As the Third Antiphon is being sung (with its verses), the Priest and Deacon bow three times before the holy Table. Then the Priest gives the holy Gospel to the Deacon, who kisses the Priest’s hand as he receives it, and then circles the holy Table with the Priest following him. Preceded by altar servers holding candles and fans, they exit through the north door for the so-called Small Entrance. When there is no Deacon, the Priest takes the holy Gospel and holds it up in front of his face. When they reach the center of the church, they stop and bow their heads, and the Deacon says in a low voice:

O Holy God, who is resting among the holy ones, praised by the Seraphim with the thrice-holy voice, glorified by the Cherubim, and worshiped by every celestial power, You have brought all things into being out of nothing. You have created man according to Your image and likeness and adorned him with all the gifts of Your grace. You give wisdom and understanding to the one who asks, and You overlook not the sinner, but have set repentance as the way of salvation. You have granted us, Your humble and unworthy servants, to stand even at this hour before the glory of Your holy Altar of sacrifice and to offer to You due worship and praise. Master, accept the Trisagion Hymn also from the lips of us sinners, and visit us in Your goodness. Forgive all our voluntary and involuntary transgressions, sanctify our souls and bodies, and grant that we may worship You in holiness all the days of our lives, through the intercessions of the holy Theotokos and of all the saints who have pleased You throughout the ages.

Ee Mungu, uliye Mtakatifu, na kukaa ndani ya watakatifu; unayesifiwa na waserafi kwa sauti takatifu ya Utatu, tena waadhimishwa na waheruvi, na kusujudiwa na nguvu zote za mbinguni juu; uliyefanya vitu vyote toka bure, na vikawa. Uliye mwumba binadamu kwa sura na mfano wako, tena kumpamba kwa vipaji vyotevya neema yako. Unayempa yeyote anaye kuuliza hekima na busara, usiye mdharau mwenye dhambi, bali ulimwekea kutubu, kama njia ya wokovu; Uliye tustahilisha hata sisi watumwa wako, wanyenyekevu na wasiostahili, hata wakati huu kusimama mbele ya utukufu wa madhabahu yako matakatifu, na kukuletea kusujudu na sifa iliyo haki zako. Bwana, upokee wimbo huu wa Utatu Mtakatifu tunao utoa midomoni mwetu, sisi wanadamu wenye dhambi, na ututembelee kwa wema wako. Utusamehe kila dhambi ambayo tumeifanya kwa hiari ama kwa kutotaka, Utakase roho na miili yetu, na utustahilishe kukuabudu kwa utakatifu siku zote za maisha yetu, kwa maombi ya Mzazi-Mungu wetu mtakatifu, na ya Watakatifu wote waliokupendeza tangu milele.

Timothy, my son, all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. I charge you in the presence of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths.

Ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα πάντα καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες, καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

The Lord said, “He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him. But he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” [RSV]

Οὐδεὶς ἄξιος τῶν συνδεδεμένων ταῖς σαρκικαῖς ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς προσέρχεσθαι ἢ προσεγγίζειν ἢ λειτουργεῖν σοι, βασιλεῦ τῆς δόξης· τὸ γὰρ διακονεῖν σοι μέγα καὶ φοβερὸν καὶ αὐταῖς ταῖς ἐπουρανίαις δυνάμεσιν. Ἀλλ’ ὅμως διὰ τὴν ἄφατον καὶ ἀμέτρητόν σου φιλανθρωπίαν ἀτρέπτως καὶ ἀναλλοιώτως γέγονας ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀρχιερεὺς ἡμῶν ἐχρημάτισας καὶ τῆς λειτουργικῆς ταύτης καὶ ἀναιμάκτου θυσίας τὴν ἱερουργίαν παρέδωκας ἡμῖν ὡς Δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων. Σὺ γὰρ μόνος, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, δεσπόζεις τῶν ἐπουρανίων καὶ τῶν ἐπιγείων, ὁ ἐπὶ θρόνου χερουβικοῦ ἐποχούμενος, ὁ τῶν Σεραφὶμ Κύριος καὶ βασιλεὺς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁ μόνος ἅγιος καὶ ἐν ἁγίοις ἀναπαυόμενος. Σὲ τοίνυν δυσωπῶ τὸν μόνον ἀγαθὸν καὶ εὐήκοον· ἐπίβλεψον ἐπ’ ἐμὲ τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν καὶ ἀχρεῖον δοῦλόν σου καὶ καθάρισόν μου τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ τὴν καρδίαν ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς· καὶ ἱκάνωσόν με τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ ἁγίου σου Πνεύματος, ἐνδεδυμένον τὴν τῆς ἱερατείας χάριν, παραστῆναι τῇ ἁγίᾳ σου ταύτῃ τραπέζῃ καὶ ἱερουργῆσαι τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἄχραντόν σου Σῶμα καὶ τὸ τίμιον Αἷμα. Σοὶ γὰρ προσέρχομαι κλίνας τὸν ἐμαυτοῦ αὐχένα καὶ δέομαί σου· μὴ ἀποστρέψῃς τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ, μηδὲ ἀποδοκιμάσῃς με ἐκ παίδων σου, ἀλλ’ ἀξίωσον προσενεχθῆναί σοι ὑπ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ καὶ ἀναξίου δούλου σου τὰ δῶρα ταῦτα. Σὺ γὰρ εἶ ὁ προσφέρων καὶ προσφερόμενος καὶ προσδεχόμενος καὶ διαδιδόμενος, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ σοὶ τὴν δόξαν ἀναπέμπομεν σὺν τῷ ἀνάρχῳ σου Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ παναγίῳ καὶ ἀγαθῷ καὶ ζωοποιῷ σου Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.

No one bound by carnal desires and pleasures is worthy to approach, draw near, or minister to You, the King of Glory. For to serve You is great and awesome even for the heavenly powers. Yet, because of Your ineffable and immeasurable love for humankind, You impassibly and immutably became man. You, as the Master of all, became our high priest and delivered unto us the sacred service of this liturgical and bloodless sacrifice. Indeed, Lord our God, You alone reign over the celestial and the terrestrial; borne aloft on the cherubic throne, Lord of the Seraphim and King of Israel, the only holy and resting among the holy ones. I now beseech You, who alone are good and inclined to hear: Look down upon me, Your sinful and unprofitable servant, and cleanse my soul and heart of a wicked conscience. Vested as I am with the grace of priesthood by the power of Your Holy Spirit, make me sufficient to stand before Your holy Table and perform the sacrament of Your holy and pure Body and Your precious Blood. I come before You, with my head bowed, and I implore You: Turn not Your face away from me, nor reject me from among Your children, but make me, Your sinful and unworthy servant, worthy to offer these gifts to You. For You are the One who both offers and is offered, the One who is received and is distributed, O Christ our God, and to You we offer up glory, and to Your Father, who is without beginning, and Your all-holy and good and life-creating Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Kwa kuwa ndiwe, Bwana Mungu wetu wa pekee watawala vilivyo mbinguni na duniani, unayeketi katika kiti cha enzi begani mwa Wakheruvi, uliye Bwana wa Waserafi tena mfalme wa Israeli.

Kwa kuwa nakujia wewe, nikiinamisha shingo yangu, nakusihi ; usinifiche uso wako; mbali mimi mtumwa wako mwenye dhambi nisiyestahili, unistahilishe kukuletea vipaji hivi.

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come.

Nasadiki Mungu mmoja, Baba, Mwenyezi, mwumba wa Mbingu, na Nchi, hata vyote vilivyo onekana na visivyo onekana. Tena Bwana mmoja, Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa pekee wa Mungu, aliyezaliwa na Baba kabla ya wakati wowote. Nuru toka Nuru, Mungu kweli toka Mungu kweli, aliyezaliwa, hakuumbwa, aliye wa asili moja na Baba, kwa yeye vyote vilifanya. Aliyeshuka mbinguni kwa ajili yetu wanadamu na ya wokovu wetu, akapata mwili kwa Maria bikira na kwa Roho Mtakatifu, hata kuwa mtu. Aliye sulubiwa kwa ajili yetu wakati wa enzi ya Pontio Pilato, akateswa, akawekwa kaburini. Aliyefufuka siku ya tatu, kama Maandiko yanenavyo. Akapaa mbinguni ndipo anapokaa kuume kwa Baba. Atakaye kuja mara ya pili kwa utukufu kuwahukumu wa hai na wafu; na ufalme wake utakuwa bila mwisho. Tena nasadiki Roho Mtakatifu, yu Bwana, yu mpaji wa uhai; anayetoka kwa Baba, anayesujudiwa na kutukuzwa pamoja na Baba na Mwana, aliyenena kwa midomo ya manabii. Tena nasadiki Ekklesia Moja, Takatifu, Katholiki na la Mitume. Naungama ubatizo moja kwa maondoleo ya dhambi. Natumaini ufufuo wa wafu, hata uzima wa ulimwengu utakaokuja.

Εὐχαριστοῦμέν σοι καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς λειτουργίας ταύτης, ἣν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν δέξασθαι κατηξίωσας, καίτοι σοι παρεστήκασι χιλιάδες ἀρχαγγέλων καὶ μυριάδες ἀγγέλων, τὰ Χερουβεὶμ καὶ τὰ Σεραφίμ, ἑξαπτέρυγα, πολυόμματα, μετάρσια, πτερωτά,

It is proper and right to hymn You, to bless You, to praise You, to give thanks to You, and to worship You in every place of Your dominion. For You, O God, are ineffable, inconceivable, invisible, incomprehensible, existing forever, forever the same, You and Your only-begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit. You brought us out of nothing into being, and when we had fallen away, You raised us up again. You left nothing undone until you had led us up to heaven and granted us Your kingdom, which is to come. For all these things, we thank You and Your only-begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit: for all things we know and do not know, for blessings manifest and hidden that have been bestowed on us. We thank You also for this Liturgy, which You have deigned to receive from our hands, even though thousands of archangels and tens of thousands of angels stand around You, the Cherubim and Seraphim, six-winged, many­ eyed, soaring aloft upon their wings,

Ni wajibu na haki kukuimbia, kukuhimidi, kukusifu, kukushukuru na kukusujudu katika mahali popote pa utawala wako.Kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe Mungu usiye elezeka, usiye wazika usiye onekana, usiye chunguzika, usiye na mwanzo tangu milele, uliye sawa sawa nyakati zote, wewe na mwana wako wa pekee, na Roho wako Mtakatifu; wewe ulitufanya toka bure, na tukawa; na tuangakapo wewe hutusimamisha, na ulifanya vyovyote, mpaka kutupaza mbinguni ili kutupatia ufalme wako utakaokuja. Kwa ajili ya vyote hivi tuna kushukuru wewe, na Mwana wako wa pekee, na Roho wako Mtakatifu, tunakushukuru kwa ajili ya vitu vyote vinavyo onekana na visivyo onekana ulivyo tutendea. Tunashukuru hata kwa ajili ya Liturghia hii uliyokubali kuipokea kwa mikono yetu, ingawa wasimama mbele yako maelfu ya Malaika majemadari, na maelfu ya Malaika, Wakheruvi na Waserafi wenye mabawa sita, macho-mengi wanaopepea juu.

Μετὰ τούτων καὶ ἡμεῖς τῶν μακαρίων δυνάμεων, Δέσποτα φιλάνθρωπε, βοῶμεν καὶ λέγομεν· ἅγιος εἶ καὶ πανάγιος, σὺ καὶ ὁ μονογενής σου Υἱὸς καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμά σου τὸ ἅγιον. Ἅγιος εἶ καὶ πανάγιος καὶ μεγαλοπρεπὴς ἡ δόξα σου· ὃς τὸν κόσμον σου οὕτως ἠγάπησας, ὥστε τὸν Υἱόν σου τὸν μονογενῆ δοῦναι, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόλυται, ἀλλ’ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. Ὃς ἐλθὼν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν οἰκονομίαν πληρώσας τῇ νυκτὶ ᾗ παρεδίδοτο, μᾶλλον δὲ ἑαυτὸν παρεδίδου ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς, λαβὼν ἄρτον ἐν ταῖς ἁγίαις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀχράντοις καὶ ἀμωμήτοις χερσίν, εὐχαριστήσας καὶ εὐλογήσας, ἁγιάσας, κλάσας, ἔδωκε τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ μαθηταῖς καὶ ἀποστόλοις, εἰπών·

Together with these blessed powers, benevolent Master, we also exclaim and say: Holy are You and most holy, You and Your only‐begotten Son and Your Holy Spirit. Holy are You and most holy, and sublime is Your glory. You so loved Your world that You gave Your only-begotten Son so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. When He had come and fulfilled for our sake the entire plan of salvation, on the night in which He was delivered up, or rather when He delivered Himself up for the life of the world, He took bread in His holy, pure, and blameless hands, and, giving thanks and blessing, He hallowed and broke it, and gave it to His holy disciples and apostles, saying:

Hata sisi pamoja na hao majeshi heri, tunapaza sauti, na kusema kuwa wewe, Ee Bwana wa Mabwana, mpenzi wa wanadamu; wewe ni Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu kamili, na Mwana wako wa pekee, na Roho Mtakatifu. Wewe ni Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu kamili, na utukufu wako adhimu; uliyependa ulimwengu wako jinsi hii, hata ukamtoa Mwana wako wa pekee, kusudi kila mtu amwaminiye asipotee, bali awe na uzima wa milele; yeye, alipokuja na kumaliza chote kikusudiwacho na Mungu kwa ajili yetu, usiku ule alipotolewa, na zaidi alijitoa kwa ajili ya uzima wa ulimwengu, akichukua mkate mikononi yake mitakatifu na isiyo na doa. Akashukuru, akaubariki, akautakasa, akaumega na kuwapa wanafunzi wake na mitume wake watakatifu akisema.
