Ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν μου, τοῦ ἐξομολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόματί σου.	Bring my soul out of prison to give thanks to Your name, O Lord. [SAAS]
Τοῖς πάθεσι δουλώσας, τῆς ψυχῆς μου τὸ ἀξίωμα, κτηνώδης ἐγενόμην, καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύω ἀτενίσαι πρὸς σὲ Ὕψιστε· ἀλλὰ κάτω νενευκὼς Χριστέ, ὡς ὁ Τελώνης, δέομαι κραυγάζων σοι· Ὁ Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι καὶ σῶσόν με.	I have subjugated my soul’s honor to the sinful passions. I have become like a beast, and I am unable to look up at You, O Most High. But with my head hanging low, O Christ, like the Publican I pray to You and cry out: O God, be merciful to me, and save me. [SD]
Ἐμὲ ὑπομενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὗ ἀνταποδῷς μοι.	The righteous shall wait for me, until You reward me. [SAAS]
Τοῖς πάθεσι δουλώσας, τῆς ψυχῆς μου τὸ ἀξίωμα, κτηνώδης ἐγενόμην, καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύω ἀτενίσαι πρὸς σὲ Ὕψιστε· ἀλλὰ κάτω νενευκὼς Χριστέ, ὡς ὁ Τελώνης, δέομαι κραυγάζων σοι· Ὁ Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι καὶ σῶσόν με.	I have subjugated my soul’s honor to the sinful passions. I have become like a beast, and I am unable to look up at You, O Most High. But with my head hanging low, O Christ, like the Publican I pray to You and cry out: O God, be merciful to me, and save me. [SD]

Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε· Κύριε, εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς μου.	Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice. [SAAS]
Οἱ Μάρτυρές σου Κύριε, οὐκ ἠρνήσαντό σε, οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐντολῶν σου, ταῖς αὐτῶν πρεσβείαις, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.	Your Martyrs did not renounce You, O Lord, nor did they deviate from Your commandments. By their intercessions, have mercy on us. [SD]

Γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς μου.	Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. [SAAS]
Οἱ μαρτυρήσαντες διὰ σὲ Χριστέ, πολλὰς βασάνους ὑπέμειναν, καὶ τέλειον ἀπέλαβον, τὸν στέφανον ἐν οὐρανοῖς, ἵνα πρεσβεύωσιν ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.	They who witnessed for You, O Christ, endured many tortures, and in heaven finally received the crown of glory, that they might intercede on behalf of our souls. [SD]

Ἐὰν ἀνομίας παρατηρήσῃς, Κύριε Κύριε, τίς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασμός ἐστιν.	If You, O Lord, should mark transgression, O Lord, who would stand? For there is forgiveness with You. [SAAS]
Οἱ ἀθλοφόροι Μάρτυρες, καὶ οὐρανοπολῖται, ἐπὶ γῆς ἀθλήσαντες, πολλὰς βασάνους ὑπέμειναν· πρεσβείαις Κύριε, καὶ εὐχαῖς αὐτῶν, πάντας ἡμᾶς διαφύλαξον.

Ὁ Σταυρός σου Κύριε, τοῖς Μάρτυσι γέγονεν, ὅπλον ἀήττητον· ἔβλεπον γὰρ τὸν προκείμενον θάνατον, καὶ προβλέποντες τὴν μέλλουσαν ζωήν, τῇ ἐλπίδι τῇ εἰς σὲ ἐνεδυναμοῦντο. Αὐτῶν ταῖς παρακλήσεσιν, ἐλέησον ἡμᾶς.	Your Cross, O Lord, became for the Martyrs an invincible weapon. For they saw the death awaiting them and yet foresaw the life to come, and thus by their hope in You they were strengthened. By their supplications, have mercy on us. [SD]

Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας μέχρι νυκτός· ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωΐας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον.	From the morning watch until night; from the morning watch until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. [SAAS]
Ἐνστάσει γενναίᾳ Ἱεράρχα, κατέβαλες ἐχθροῦ τὰς παρατάξεις, καὶ λαοὺς ἐκ τῆς πλάνης τῶν εἰδώλων ἐῤῥύσω.	O Hierarch, with valiant resistance, you cast down the arrays of the enemy, and you rescued people from the deceptive error of the idols. [SD]
Ὅτι παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ τὸ ἔλεος καὶ πολλὴ παρʼ αὐτῷ λύτρωσις, καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτοῦ.	For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption; and He shall redeem Israel from all his transgressions. [SAAS]
Ἐνστάσει γενναίᾳ Ἱεράρχα, κατέβαλες ἐχθροῦ τὰς παρατάξεις, καὶ λαοὺς ἐκ τῆς πλάνης τῶν εἰδώλων ἐῤῥύσω.	O Hierarch, with valiant resistance, you cast down the arrays of the enemy, and you rescued people from the deceptive error of the idols. [SD]
Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον, πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπαινέσατε αὐτόν, πάντες οἱ λαοί.	Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; praise Him, all you peoples. [SAAS]
Ἐκτάσει χειρῶν σου Ἱεράρχα, κρατύνας τοὺς συνάθλους σου ἐν πόνοις, ὡς ἀνίσχυρον ἐχθροῦ ἀνέδειξας τὸ κράτος.	O Hierarch, you stretched out your hands, and strengthened your fellow athletes in their labors, and thus you showed that the power of the enemy was impotent. [SD]
Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.	For His mercy rules over us; and the truth of the Lord endures forever. [SAAS]

Ἀρχή μοι καὶ ὑπόστασις, τὸ πλαστουργόν σου γέγονε πρόσταγμα· βουληθεὶς γὰρ ἐξ ἀοράτου τε καὶ ὁρατῆς, ζῶόν με συμπῆξαι φύσεως, γῆθέν μου τὸ σῶμα διέπλασας, δέδωκας δέ μοι ψυχήν, τῇ θείᾳ σου καὶ ζωοποιῷ ἐμπνεύσει. Διὸ Σωτὴρ τοὺς δούλους σου, ἐν χώρᾳ ζώντων, ἐν σκηναῖς Δικαίων ἀνάπαυσον.	Your creative command was my beginning and real existence; for wishing to construct me as a living creature from both visible and invisible natures, You fashioned my body from earth, and You gave me a soul by Your divine and life-giving breath. Therefore, O Savior, give rest to Your servants, in the land of the living, where the righteous dwell. [SD]

Τὸ αʹ Θεοτοκίον τοῦ Ἦχου.	The First Theotokion of the Mode.

Τίς μὴ μακαρίσει σε, παναγία Παρθένε; τίς μὴ ἀνυμνήσει σου, τὸν ἀλόχευτον τόκον; ὁ γὰρ ἀχρόνως ἐκ Πατρός, ἐκλάμψας Υἱὸς μονογενής, ὁ αὐτὸς ἐκ σοῦ τῆς ἁγνῆς προῆλθεν, ἀφράστως σαρκωθείς, φύσει Θεὸς ὑπάρχων, καὶ φύσει γενόμενος ἄνθρωπος διʼ ἡμᾶς· οὐκ εἰς δυάδα προσώπων τεμνόμενος, ἀλλʼ ἐν δυάδι φύσεων, ἀσυγχύτως γνωριζόμενος. Αὐτὸν ἱκέτευε, σεμνὴ Παμμακάριστε, ἐλεηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.	Who can not call you blessed, O all-holy Virgin? Who can not extol your extraordinary childbirth? The Only-begotten Son, who timelessly shone forth from the Father, ineffably became incarnate and was born from you, O pure one. Being divine by nature, for us He became human by nature, not divided into two persons, but acknowledged in two natures without confusion. To Him pray fervently, O noble and all-blessed Lady, and implore Him to have mercy on our souls. [GOASD]

Γεν ΙΒʹ, 1 – 7	Gn 12:1 – 7
Εἶπε Κύριος τῷ Ἄβραμ. Ἔξελθε ἐκ τῆς γῆς σου, καὶ ἐκ τῆς συγγενείας σου, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου, καὶ δεῦρο εἰς γῆν, ἣν ἄν σοι δείξω, καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς ἔθνος μέγα, καὶ εὐλογήσω σε, καὶ μεγαλυνῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, καὶ ἔσῃ εὐλογημένος, καὶ εὐλογήσω τοὺς εὐλογοῦντάς σε, καὶ τοὺς καταρωμένους σε καταράσομαι, καὶ ἐνευλογηθήσονται ἐν σοὶ πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἄβραμ, καθάπερ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ὁ Θεός, καὶ ᾤχετο μετʼ αὐτοῦ Λώτ, Ἄβραμ δὲ ἦν ἐτῶν ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε, ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ Χαῤῥάν. Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἄβραμ Σάραν τὴν γυναίκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ Λὼτ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν, ὅσα ἐκτήσαντο, καὶ πᾶσαν ψυχήν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο, ἐν Χαῤῥὰν καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν πορευθῆναι εἰς γῆν Χαναάν. Καὶ διώδευσεν Ἄβραμ τὴν γῆν εἰς τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς, ἕως τοῦ τόπου Συχέμ, ἐπὶ τὴν δρῦν τὴν ὑψηλήν, οἱ δὲ Χαναναῖοι τότε κατῴκουν τὴν γῆν. Καὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ Ἄβραμ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην. Καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ Κυρίῳ, τῷ ὀφθέντι αὐτῷ.	Now the Lord said to Abram, “Get out of your country, from your kindred and from your father’s house, to a land I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you; and in you all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed.” Then Abram departed as the Lord said to him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. So Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son and all their possessions and every soul they acquired in Haran, and they departed for the land of Canaan. Thus they came to the land of Canaan. Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your seed I will give this land.” And there Abram built an altar to the Lord, who appeared to him. [SAAS]

Πρμ ΙΔʹ, 15 – 26	Pr 14:15 – 27
Ἄκακος ἀνὴρ πιστεύει παντὶ λόγῳ· πανοῦργος δὲ ἔρχεται εἰς μετάνοιαν. Σοφὸς φοβηθεὶς ἐξέκλινεν ἀπὸ κακοῦ· ὁ δὲ ἄφρων, ἑαυτῷ πεποιθώς, μίγνυται ἀνόμῳ. Ὀξύθυμος πράσσει μετὰ ἀβουλίας· ἀνὴρ δὲ φρόνιμος πολλὰ ὑποφέρει. Μεριοῦνται ἄφρονες κακίαν· οἱ δὲ πανοῦργοι κρατήσουσιν αἰσθήσεως. Ὀλισθήσουσι κακοὶ ἔναντι ἀγαθῶν, καὶ ἀσεβεῖς θεραπεύσουσι θύρας δικαίων. Φίλοι μισήσουσι φίλους πτωχούς, φίλοι δὲ πλουσίων πολλοί. Ὁ ἀτιμάζων πένητας ἁμαρτάνει, ὁ ἐλεῶν δὲ πτωχοὺς μακαριστός. Πλανώμενοι ἄδικοι τεκταίνουσι κακά· ἔλεον δὲ καὶ ἀλήθειαν τεκταίνουσιν ἀγαθοί. Οὐκ ἐπίστανται ἔλεον καὶ πίστιν τέκτονες κακῶν· ἐλεημοσύναι δὲ καὶ πίστεις παρὰ τέκτοσιν ἀγαθοῖς. Ἐν παντὶ μεριμνῶντι ἔνεστι περισσόν· ὁ δὲ ἡδὺς καὶ ἀνάλγητος ἐν ἐνδείᾳ ἔσται. Στέφανος σοφῶν πλοῦτος αὐτῶν· ἡ δὲ διατριβὴ ἀφρόνων κακή. Ῥύσεται ἐκ κακῶν ψυχὴν μάρτυς πιστός· ἐκκαίει δὲ ψευδῆ δόλιος. Ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐλπὶς ἰσχύος· τοῖς δὲ τέκνοις αὐτοῦ καταλείψει ἔρεισμα εἰρήνης.	A simple man believes in every word, but an astute man comes to repentance. A wise man fears and turns away from evil, but a man without discernment persuades himself to mingle with a lawless man. A quick-tempered man acts with recklessness, but a man with discernment bears many things. Men without discernment will share in evil, but the astute will take hold of perception. Evil men will slip and fall in the presence of good men, and the ungodly shall serve at the gate of the righteous. Friends will hate poor friends, but the friends of the rich are many. He who dishonors the poor sins, but he who has mercy on the poor is very blessed. Deceivers devise evil things, but good men devise mercy and truth. Devisers of evil things do not understand mercy and faithfulness, but mercies and faithfulness are with devisers of good things. To everyone who is careful there is an abundance, but he who is pleasure-taking and slothful shall be in want. The crown of the wise is astuteness, but the pastime of the undiscerning is evil. A faithful witness will rescue a soul from evil men, but a deceitful man kindles lies. In the fear of the Lord there is hope of strength, and to His children there remains support. [SAAS]
