LITURGHIA
The Liturgy of the Catechumens
Εὐλόγησον, Δέσποτα.
The Deacon, having received a blessing from the Priest, comes out of the Sanctuary by the North Door and, standing in his usual place in front of the Holy Doors, makes three bows and begins: Master, give the blessing.
Ee padri, himidi.
Εὐλογημένη ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
The Priest, lifting up the book of the Gospel, and making the sign of the Cross with it over the Antimension, says in a clear voice: Blessed is the Kingdom of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages.
Mhimidiwa ni Ufalme wa Baba, na Mwana, na Roho Mtakatifu, sasa na siku zote hata milele na milele.

Δέσποτα Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ καταστήσας ἐν οὐρανοῖς τάγματα καὶ στρατιὰς ἀγγέλων καὶ ἀρχαγγέλων εἰς λειτουργίαν τῆς σῆς δόξης, ποίησον σὺν τῇ εἰσόδῳ ἡμῶν εἴσοδον ἁγίων ἀγγέλων γενέσθαι, συλλειτουργούντων ἡμῖν καὶ συνδοξολογούντων τὴν σὴν ἀγαθότητα. Ὅτι πρέπει σοι πᾶσα δόξα, τιμὴ καὶ προσκύνησις, τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ τῷ Υἱῷ καὶ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.
Master, Lord our God, you have set orders and armies of Angels and Archangels in heaven to minister to your glory; grant that, with our entrance, holy Angels may enter, concelebrating with us, and with us glorifying your goodness. For to you belong all glory, honour and worship, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Ee Bwana wa mabwana, Mungu wetu, uliyeweka mbunguni makundi ya majeshi ya Malaika, na Malaika majemadari kuadhimisha utukufu wako, ufanye kuingia kwetu kuwe pamoja na Malaika watakatifu, wanao adhimisha pamoja nasi kutoa utukufu kwa wema wako. Kwa kuwa kila utukufu, na heshima, na usujudu ni haki yako ya Baba, na Mwana, na Roho Mtakatifu, sasa na siku zote hata milele na milele. Kwa kuwa utukufu wote na heshima na usujudu ni haki yako, ya Baba na Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu, sasa na siku zote, hata milele na milele. Amina.

Holy God, at rest in the holy place, hymned by the Seraphim with the thrice-holy song, glorified by the Cherubim and worshipped by every heavenly Power, out of non-existence you brought the universe into being and created humankind according to your image and likeness, adorning it with every gift of your grace. You give wisdom and understanding to those who ask, and you do not reject the sinner, but for our salvation you have established repentance. You have counted us, your humble and unworthy servants, worthy to stand at this time before the glory of your holy altar, and to offer you due worship and praise. Accept, Master, the thrice-holy hymn even from the mouth of us sinners, and visit us in your goodness. Pardon us every offence, voluntary and involuntary; sanctify our souls and bodies, and grant that we may worship you in holiness all the days of our life; at the prayers of the holy Mother of God and of all the Saints who have been well-pleasing to you in every age.
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.

Ἐν τῷ συμπληροῦσθαι τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς πεντηκοστῆς ἦσαν ἅπαντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό. καὶ ἐγένετο ἄφνω ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἦχος ὥσπερ φερομένης πνοῆς βιαίας, καὶ ἐπλήρωσεν ὅλον τὸν οἶκον οὗ ἦσαν καθήμενοι· καὶ ὤφθησαν αὐτοῖς διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός, ἐκάθισέ τε ἐφ᾿ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν ἅπαντες Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, καὶ ἤρξαντο λαλεῖν ἑτέραις γλώσσαις καθὼς τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἀποφθέγγεσθαι. Ἦσαν δὲ ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ κατοικοῦντες Ἰουδαῖοι, ἄνδρες εὐλαβεῖς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἔθνους τῶν ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν· γενομένης δὲ τῆς φωνῆς ταύτης συνῆλθε τὸ πλῆθος καὶ συνεχύθη, ὅτι ἤκουον εἷς ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ λαλούντων αὐτῶν. ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες καὶ ἐθαύμαζον λέγοντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους· οὐκ ἰδοὺ πάντες οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ λαλοῦντες Γαλιλαῖοι; καὶ πῶς ἡμεῖς ἀκούομεν ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ ἡμῶν ἐν ᾗ ἐγεννήθημεν, Πάρθοι καὶ Μῆδοι καὶ Ἐλαμῖται, καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, Ἰουδαίαν τε καὶ Καππαδοκίαν, Πόντον καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν, Φρυγίαν τε καὶ Παμφυλίαν, Αἴγυπτον καὶ τὰ μέρη τῆς Λιβύης τῆς κατὰ Κυρήνην, καὶ οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες Ῥωμαῖοι, Ἰουδαῖοί τε καὶ προσήλυτοι, Κρῆτες καὶ Ἄραβες, ἀκούομεν λαλούντων αὐτῶν ταῖς ἡμετέραις γλώσσαις τὰ μεγαλεῖα τοῦ Θεοῦ;
Now when the day of Pentecost came, they were all with one accord [gathered] in the same place. Suddenly, there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Divided tongues that seemed like fire appeared and one [tongue] rested on each of them. Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak. At that time {of year}, devout Jews from every nation under heaven were staying in Jerusalem. When this sound was heard, a crowd formed and people were bewildered because everyone heard the disciples speaking in his own language. They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans? How is it that we hear everyone [speak] in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages [concerning] the deeds of power of God!” [EOB]
Sikukuu ya Pentekoste ilipofika, waumini wote walikuwa wamekusanyika mahali pamoja. Ghafla, sauti ikasikika kutoka angani; sauti iliyokuwa kama ya upepo mkali, ikaijaza ile nyumba yote walimokuwa wamekaa. Kisha, vikatokea vitu vilivyoonekana kama ndimi za moto, vikagawanyika na kutua juu ya kila mmoja wao. Wote wakajazwa Roho Mtakatifu, wakaanza kusema lugha mbalimbali kadiri Roho alivyowawezesha. Na huko Yerusalemu walikuwako Wayahudi, watu wamchao Mungu, waliotoka katika kila nchi duniani. Waliposikia sauti hiyo, kundi kubwa la watu lilikusanyika. Wote walishtuka sana kwani kila mmoja wao aliwasika hao waumini wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe. Walistaajabu na kushangaa wakisema, "Je, hawa wote tunaowasikia wakisema hivi, si wenyeji wa Galilaya? Imekuwaje, basi, kwamba kila mmoja wetu anawasikia wakisema kwa lugha yake mwenyewe? Baadhi yetu ni Waparthi, Wamedi na Waelamu; wengine ni wenyeji wa Mesopotamia, Yudea, Kapadokia, Ponto na Asia, Frugia na Pamfulia, Misri na sehemu za Libya karibu na Kurene; wengine wetu ni wageni kutoka Roma, Wayahudi na watu walioongokea dini ya Kiyahudi; wengine wametoka Krete na Arabia. Sisi sote tunasikia wakisema kwa lugha zetu wenyewe mambo makuu ya Mungu." [[SWA]]

Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους, καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι· διατί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν; ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται· οὐδέποτε οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἄνθρωπος, ὡς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος. ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν αὐτοῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε; μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων; ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον ἐπικατάρατοί εἰσι! λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁ ἐλθὼν νυκτὸς πρὸς αὐτόν, εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν· μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ πρότερον καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ; ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; ἐρεύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι προφήτης ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας οὐκ ἐγήγερται. Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησε λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and spoke loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! From within whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will flow rivers of living water!” But he said this concerning the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. When they heard this saying , many of the people said, “This is truly the prophet!” Others said, “This is the Christ!” Still others said, “What? Does the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” And so, there arose a division in the crowd because of him. Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. And so, the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring him?” The officers answered, “No one has ever spoken like this man!” At this, the Pharisees replied, “You are not also led astray, are you? Have any of the rulers believed in him, or the Pharisees? But this multitude that does not know the law is accursed.” Nicodemus (who had come to him by night, being one of the Pharisees ) said to them, “Does our law judge someone without first hearing from him personally to find out what this person is doing?” They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” Then again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” [EOB]
Siku ya mwisho ya sikukuu hiyo ilikuwa siku maalumu. Yesu alisimama, akasema kwa sauti kubwa, "Aliye na kiu na aje kwangu anywe. Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: ''Anayeniamini mimi, mito ya maji ya uhai itatiririka kutoka moyoni mwake!''" (Alisema hayo kumhusu Roho ambaye wale waliomwamini yeye watampokea. Wakati huo Roho alikuwa hajafika kwa sababu Yesu alikuwa hajatukuzwa bado). Baadhi ya watu katika ule umati walisikia maneno hayo, wakasema, "Kweli mtu huyu ndiye yule nabii!" Wengine wakasema, "Huyu ndiye Kristo!" Lakini wengine walisema, "Je, yawezekana Kristo akatoka Galilaya? Maandiko Matakatifu yasemaje? Yanasema: ''Kristo atatoka katika ukoo wa Daudi, na atazaliwa Bethlehemu, mji wa Daudi!''" Basi, kukatokea mafarakano juu yake katika ule umati wa watu. Baadhi ya watu walitaka kumtia nguvuni lakini hakuna aliyejaribu kumkamata. Kisha wale walinzi wakarudi kwa makuhani wakuu na Mafarisayo; nao wakawauliza, "Kwa nini hamkumleta?" Walinzi wakawajibu, "Hakuna mtu aliyepata kamwe kusema kama asemavyo mtu huyu!" Mafarisayo wakawauliza, "Je, nanyi pia mmedanganyika? Je, mmekwisha mwona hata mmoja wa viongozi wa watu, au mmoja wa Mafarisayo aliyemwamini? Lakini umati huu haujui sheria ya Mose; umelaaniwa!" Mmoja wao alikuwa Nikodemo ambaye hapo awali alikuwa amemwendea Yesu. Basi, yeye akawaambia, "Je, sheria yetu humkukumu mtu kabla ya kumsikia kwanza na kujua anafanya nini?" Nao wakamjibu, "Je, wewe pia umetoka Galilaya? Haya, kayachunguze Maandiko Matakatifu nawe utaona kwamba Galilaya hakutoki kamwe nabii!" Yesu alipozungumza nao tena, aliwaambia, "Mimi ndimi mwanga wa ulimwengu. Anayenifuata mimi hatembei kamwe gizani, bali atakuwa na mwanga wa uhai." [[SWA]]

Kama Waheruvi, kwa siri tunaofanana na tunaoimbia Utatu mpaji wa uhai wimbo Mtakatifu wa Utatu, (wimbo wa Trisaghio) tuweke mbali kila tafakari ya maisha. kwa kuwa mfalme wa wote tutamkaribisha.
While it is being sung, the Priest, in front of the Holy Table, reads, in a low voice, the Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn.

Οὐδεὶς ἄξιος τῶν συνδεδεμένων ταῖς σαρκικαῖς ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς προσέρχεσθαι ἢ προσεγγίζειν, ἢ λειτουργεῖν σοι, Βασιλεῦ τῆς δόξης· τὸ γὰρ διακονεῖν σοι μέγα καὶ φοβερόν, καὶ αὐταῖς ταῖς ἐπουρανίαις δυνάμεσιν. Ἀλλʼ ὅμως, διὰ τὴν ἄφατον καὶ ἀμέτρητόν σου φιλανθρωπίαν, ἀτρέπτως καὶ ἀναλλοιώτως γέγονας ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἀρχιερεὺς ἡμῶν ἐχρημάτισας, καί τῆς λειτουργικῆς ταύτης καὶ ἀναιμάκτου θυσίας τὴν ἱερουργίαν παρέδωκας ἡμῖν, ὡς Δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων. Σὺ γὰρ μόνος, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, δεσπόζεις τῶν ἐπουρανίων καί τῶν ἐπιγείων, ὁ ἐπὶ θρόνου Χερουβικοῦ ἐποχούμενος, ὁ τῶν Σεραφεὶμ Κύριος, καὶ βασιλεύς τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὁ Μόνος Ἅγιος καὶ ἐν ἁγίοις ἀναπαυόμενος, σὲ τοίνυν δυσωπῶ τὸν μόνον ἀγαθὸν καὶ εὐήκοον, ἐπίβλεψον ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὸν ἁμαρτωλὸν καὶ ἀχρεῖον δούλόν 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.

None of those who are entangled in carnal desires and pleasures is worthy to approach or draw near or minister to you, King of glory; for to serve you is great and awesome even for the heavenly powers. Yet on account of your inexpressible and boundless love for mankind you became man without change or alteration and were named our High Priest; and as Master of all you have committed to us the sacred ministry of this liturgy without shedding of blood. For you alone, Lord our God, are Ruler over all things in heaven and on earth, mounted on the throne of the Cherubim, Lord of the Seraphim and King of Israel, the only Holy One, resting in the holy place. Therefore I entreat you, who alone are good and ready to hear: Look upon me, your sinful and unprofitable servant, and purify my soul and heart from an evil conscience. By the power of your Holy Spirit enable me, clothed with the grace of the priesthood, to stand at this your Holy Table and celebrate the mystery of your holy and most pure Body and your precious Blood. For to you I come, bending my neck and praying: Do not turn away your face from me, nor reject me from among your children, but count me, your sinful and unworthy servant, worthy to offer these gifts to you. For you are the one who offers and is offered, who receives and is distributed, Christ our God, and to you we give glory, together with your Father, who is without beginning, and your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Mtu wa tamaa na anasa za mwili hastahili kukujia au kukukaribia na kukuabudu, Ee mfalme wa utukufu; kwa kuwa kukutumikia ni kwa hofu sana, hata kwa Majeshi wa mbinguni: Lakini kwa kuwa unapenda binadamu kwa hali ya ajabu, umejifanya Kuhani Mkubwa wetu bila kujigeuza au kubadilika; na wewe ndiwe umetupatia kuadhimisha dhabihu hii isiyo na damu, wewe uliye Bwana wa Mabwana wa vitu vyote. 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. Ndiwe Mtakatifu wa pekee uliyepumzika kati ya watakatifu, basi nakusihi wewe uliye mwema pekee na kusikia rahisi; uniangazie mimi mtumwa wako mwenye dhambi na asiyefaa; utakase roho na moyo wangu na kila dhamira mbaya; tena unijalie kwa nguvu ya roho Mtakatifu ili, nikivaa neema ya ukasisi, nisimame mbele ya Meza yako hii Takatifu; na kuadhimisha Mwili wako Mtakatifu na wa usafi na Damu yako ya thamani. Kwa kuwa nakujia wewe, nikiinamisha shingo yangu, nakusihi ; usinifiche uso wako; mbali mimi mtumwa wako mwenye dhambi nisiyestahili, unistahilishe kukuletea vipaji hivi. Kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe uliyetoa na uliyetolewa, uliyepokea tena uliyegawanya, Ee Kristo Mungu wetu, na kwako tunatoa utukufu, pamoja na Baba yako asiye, na mwanzo na kwa Roho wako Mtakatifu kamili, mwema na mpaji wa uhai, sasa na siku zote, hata milele na milele.

Then the Priest, or Deacon, takes the censer and censes the Holy Table, the Sanctuary, the principal icons and the People, coming out a little from the holy Doors.
Ἀνάστασιν Χριστοῦ θεασάμενοι, προσκυνήσωμεν Ἅγιον Κύριον Ἰησοῦν, τὸν μόνον ἀναμάρτητον. Τὸν Σταυρόν σου, Χριστέ, προσκυνοῦμεν καὶ τὴν ἁγίαν σου ἀνάστασιν ὑμνοῦμεν καὶ δοξάζομεν· σὺ γὰρ εἶ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἐκτός σου ἄλλον οὐκ οἴδαμεν, τὸ ὄνομά σου ὀνομάζομεν. Δεῦτε πάντες οἱ πιστοί, προσκυνήσωμεν τὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἁγίαν ἀνάστασιν· ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἦλθε διὰ τοῦ Σταυροῦ χαρὰ ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ κόσμῳ. Διὰ παντὸς εὐλογοῦντες τὸν Κύριον, ὑμνοῦμεν τὴν ἀνάστασιν αὐτοῦ· Σταυρὸν γὰρ ὑπομείνας διʼ ἡμᾶς, θανάτῳ θάνατον ὤλεσεν.
In a low voice he says, if it is Sunday, Having seen the Resurrection of Christ, let us worship the Holy Lord Jesus, the only sinless one. We worship your Cross, O Christ, and we praise and glorify your holy Resurrection. For you are our God; we know no other but you; we name you by name. Come, all the faithful, let us worship the holy Resurrection of Christ; for behold through the Cross, joy has come in all the world. Ever blessing the Lord, we sing his Resurrection. For having endured the Cross for us, by death he has destroyed death.
Tukiwa tumeona ufufuko wake Kristo tumsujudu Yesu Bwana Mtakatifu aliye pekee bila dhambi. Tunasujudu Msalaba wako. Ee Kristo, tena tunasifu na kutukuza ufufuko wako mtakatifu. Kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe Mungu wetu, tunajua wewe pekee, hatumjui mwingine , jina lako tunaliita. Njooni, enyi waumini wote, tusujudu ufufuko mtakatifu wa Kristo. Kwa kuwa kwa Msalaba furaha umefika dunia yote, tukimhimidi Bwana siku zote, tunasifu utukufu wake; kwa sababu akivumilia msalaba kwa ajili yetu, aliangamiza kifo kwa kifo chake.
Δεῦτε προσκυνήσωμεν καὶ προσπέσωμεν τῷ Βασιλεῖ ἡμῶν Θεῷ. Δεῦτε προσκυνήσωμεν καὶ προσπέσωμεν Χριστῷ τῷ Βασιλεῖ ἡμῶν Θεῷ. Δεῦτε προσκυνήσωμεν καὶ προσπέσωμεν αὐτῷ, Χριστῷ τῷ Βασιλεῖ καὶ Θεῷ ἡμῶν.
If it is not a Sunday he says, Come, let us worship and fall down before the King, our God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, the King, our God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ himself, the King, our God.
Njooni, tumwinamie na tumsujudu Mungu mfalme wetu. Njooni, tumwinamie na tumsujudu Kristo yu Mungu mfalme wetu. Njooni, tumwinamie na tumsujudu yeye, Kristo aliye mfalme na Mungu wetu.
He then says Psalm 50, excluding the last two verses which begin, Do good, Lord, ...to Sion.
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 ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας μου καθάρισόν με. Ὅτι τὴν ἀνομίαν μου ἐγὼ γινώσκω, καὶ ἡ ἁμαρτία μου ἐνώπιόν μού ἐστι διαπαντός. 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 ἀπʼ 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 Θεὸς 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.
Have mercy on me, O God, in accordance with your great mercy. According to the multitude of your compassion blot out my offence. Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my wickedness, and my sin is ever before me. Against you only I have sinned and done what is evil in your sight, that you may be justified in your words and win when you are judged. For see, in wickedness I was conceived and in sin my mother bore me. For see, you have loved truth; you have shown me the hidden and secret things of your wisdom. You will sprinkle me with hyssop and I shall be cleansed. You will wash me and I shall be made whiter than snow. You will make me hear of joy and gladness; the bones which have been humbled will rejoice. Turn away your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create a clean heart in me, O God, and renew a right Spirit within me. Do not cast me out from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me. Give me back the joy of your salvation, and establish me with your sovereign Spirit. I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn to you again. O God, the God of my salvation, deliver me from bloodshed and my tongue will rejoice at your justice. Lord, you will open my lips, and my mouth will proclaim your praise. For if you had wanted a sacrifice, I would have given it. You will not take pleasure in burnt offerings. A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit. A broken and a humbled heart God will not despise.
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.
Συγχωρήσατέ μοι, ἀδελφοὶ καὶ συλλειτουργοί, ἤ (Συγχώρησόν μοι, ἀδελφὲ καὶ συλλειτουργέ).
Then he enters the Sanctuary and puts away the censer. Then both of them, coming in front of the Holy Table make three bows, and say quietly troparia of compunction. They kiss the Antimension and the Holy Table, bow again and then turn to the people and bow to them, saying: Forgive me. or similar words.
Ὁ Θεὸς ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ, καὶ ἐλέησόν με.
They go to the table of the Prothesis, and having made three bows they kiss the covered Holy Gifts, saying: God, cleanse me a sinner.
Ἔπαρον, Δέσποτα.
Then the Deacon says to the Priest: Master, lift up.
Ee padri, inua.
Ἐν ταῖς νυξὶν ἐπάρατε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν εἰς τὰ ἅγια καὶ εὐλογεῖτε τὸν Κύριον.
The Priest lifts the Aer and places it on the shoulders of the Deacon, saying: Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord.
Painulieni patakatifu mikono yenu, na kumhimidi BWANA.
Then he gives the Deacon the Paten, while he himself takes the Chalice.
When the Chanters reach the end of the first part of the Cherubic Hymn, the Deacon and the Priest come out from the north door of the Sanctuary, preceded by exapteryga, lights and incense, as they make the Great Entrance. As they process they proclaim, one after the other:
Πάντων ὑμῶν μνησθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ Αὐτοῦ, πάντοτε, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
May the Lord God remember you all in his Kingdom always, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages.

The Priest and Deacon enter the Sanctuary.
Τῆς ἱερωσύνης σου μνησθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, πάντοτε· νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
The Deacon, stands to the right in front of the Holy Table and says to the Priest as he enters (in a low voice): May the Lord God remember your priesthood in his Kingdom, always, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages.
Τῆς διακονίας σου μνησθείη Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ, πάντοτε· νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
And the Priest, as he enters, says to him (in a low voice): May the Lord God remember your diaconate in his Kingdom, always, now and for ever, and to the ages of ages.
Then the Priest places the Chalice on the Holy Table, takes the Paten from the Deacon and places it to the left of the Chalice, saying (in a low voice): The noble Joseph taking down your spotless Body from the tree, wrapped it in a clean shroud with sweet spices and laid it for burial in a new grave.
Then he takes the covers from the sacred Paten and the Holy Chalice and lays them to one side on the Holy Table. He takes the Aer from the shoulders of the Deacon, holds it over the censer and lays it over the Chalice and Paten. Then he takes the censer and censes the Gifts three times, as the Deacon says:

I believe in one God, * Father, Almighty,* Maker of heaven and earth,* and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord, Jesus Christ,* the only-begotten Son of God, * begotten from the Father * before all ages, * Light from Light, * true God from true God, * begotten * not made, * consubstantial with the Father,* through him all things were made. * For our sake and for our salvation * he came down from heaven, * and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit * and the Virgin Mary * and became man. * He was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate,* and suffered and was buried; * he rose again on the third day, * in accordance with the Scriptures, * and ascended into heaven * and is seated at the right hand of the Father. * He is coming again in glory * to judge the living and the dead, * and his kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, * the Lord, * the Giver of life, * who proceeds from the Father, * who together with Father and Son is worshipped * and together glorified; * who spoke through the Prophets. * In one, Holy, * Catholic and Apostolic Church. * I confess one Baptism * for the forgiveness of sins. * I await 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. [[SWA]]

You brought us out of non-existence into being, and when we had fallen you raised us up again, and left nothing undone until you had brought us up to heaven and had granted us your Kingdom that is to come. For all these things we give thanks to you, and to your only-begotten Son and your Holy Spirit; for all the benefits that we have received, known and unknown, manifest and hidden. We thank you also for this liturgy which you have been pleased to accept from our hands, though there stand around you thousands of archangels and tens of thousands of angels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, six-winged and many-eyed, soaring aloft upon their wings,

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.

For the holy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John, the holy, glorious and all-praised Apostles, for Saint N, whose memory we keep today, and for all your Saints, at whose prayers visit us, O God. Remember too all those who have fallen asleep in hope of resurrection to eternal life (N and N), and give them rest where the light of your countenance watches. Also we beseech you: Remember, Lord, all Orthodox bishops, who rightly discern the word of your truth, the whole order of presbyters, the diaconate in Christ, all the clergy and the whole monastic order. Also we offer you this spiritual worship for the whole world, for the holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, for those who live in chastity and holiness of life; for our faithful Christian rulers, and all their household. Grant them, Lord, a peaceful reign, so that in their tranquillity we too may live calm and peaceful lives in godliness and holiness.

For if I dare to enter with them into the bridal chamber, my dress convicts me, for it is not a wedding garment, and I shall be bound and cast out by the Angels. Cleanse the stain of my soul, Lord, and save me, as you love humankind.

Master, lover of humankind, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, do not let these holy Mysteries be for my condemnation because I am unworthy, but rather for the cleansing and sanctification of both soul and body and as a pledge of the life and kingdom to come. It is good for me to cleave to God, to place in the Lord the hope of my salvation.
Ee Bwana wa mabwana, mpenda–wanadamu, Yesu Kristo Mungu wangu, nakuomba vitakatifu hivi visiwe kwa kunihukumu, kwa kuwa mimi navishiriki bila kustahili; bali viwe kwa usafisho na utakaso wa roho hata wa mwili; tena ahadi ya uzima na ufalme ujao. Basi kwa mimi ni vema kutegemea katika Mungu, kuyaweka kwa Bwana matumaini ya wokovu wangu.
Τοῦ δείπνου σου τοῦ μυστικοῦ σήμερον, Υἱὲ Θεοῦ, κοινωνόν με παράλαβε· οὐ μὴ γὰρ τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου τὸ μυστήριον εἴπω, οὐ φίλημά σοι δώσω, καθάπερ ὁ Ἰούδας· ἀλλʼ ὡς ὁ λῃστὴς ὁμολογῶ σοι· Μνήσθητί μου Κύριε, ὅταν ἔλθῃς ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου.
Of your mystical Supper, Son of God, receive me today as a communicant; for I will not tell of the Mystery to your enemies; I will not give you a kiss, like Judas; but like the Thief I confess you: Remember me, Lord, in your Kingdom.
Unipokee leo, Ee Mwana wa Mungu, kuwa mshiriki wa karamu yako ya fumbo (Mistiri); sitafunua kamwe fumbo lako kwa maadui wako, wala sitakubusu kama Yuda; Bali kama yule mnyang’anyi nakuungama. Unikumbuke, Ee Bwana katika ufalme wako.
