Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Τῶν ἁγίων ὁ χορός, εὗρε πηγὴν τῆς ζωῆς καὶ θύραν παραδείσου· εὕρω κἀγώ, τὴν ὁδὸν διὰ τῆς μετανοίας· τὸ ἀπολωλὸς πρόβατον ἐγώ εἰμι· ἀνακάλεσαί με, Σωτήρ, καὶ σῶσόν με.

The choir of Saints has found the source of life and the door of Paradise; may I too find the way through repentance; I am the lost sheep, call me back, O Saviour, and save me. [EL]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Ὁ πάλαι μέν, ἐκ μὴ ὄντων πλάσας με, καὶ εἰκόνι σου θείᾳ τιμήσας, παραβάσει ἐντολῆς δὲ πάλιν με ἐπιστρέψας εἰς γῆν ἐξ ἧς ἐλήφθην, εἰς τὸ καθʼ ὁμοίωσιν ἐπανάγαγε, τὸ ἀρχαῖον κάλλος ἀναμορφώσασθαι.

Of old you formed me from nothing and honoured me with your divine image, but because I transgressed your commandment, you returned me to the earth from which I was taken; bring me back to your likeness, my ancient beauty. [EL]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Εἰκών εἰμι, τῆς ἀῤῥήτου δόξης σου, εἰ καὶ στίγματα φέρω πταισμάτων· οἰκτείρησον τὸ σὸν πλάσμα, Δέσποτα, καὶ καθάρισον σῇ εὐσπλαγχνίᾳ· καὶ τὴν ποθεινὴν πατρίδα παράσχου μοι, παραδείσου πάλιν ποιῶν πολίτην με.

I am an image of your ineffable glory, though I bear the marks of offences; take pity on your creature, Master, and with compassion cleanse me; and give me the longed-for fatherland, making me once again a citizen of Paradise. [EL]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Ἀνάπαυσον, ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς δούλους σου, καὶ κατάταξον αὐτοὺς ἐν παραδείσῳ, ὅπου χοροὶ τῶν ἁγίων, Κύριε, καὶ οἱ δίκαιοι ἐκλάμψουσιν ὡς φωστῆρες· τοὺς κεκοιμημένους δούλους σου ἀνάπαυσον, παρορῶν αὐτῶν πάντα τὰ ἐγκλήματα.

Give rest, O God, to your servant(s), and settle him (her/them) in Paradise, where the choirs of the Saints and all the Just shine out like beacons; give rest to your servant(s) who has (have) fallen asleep, overlooking all his (her/their) offences. [EL]

Let us devoutly hymn the threefold light of the one Godhead as we cry: Holy are you, the Father without beginning, the Son likewise without beginning and the divine Spirit; enlighten us who worship you in faith, and snatch us from the everlasting fire. [EL]
