Almighty God and Lord, You made the memory * of Your victorious Martyrs so radiant; * for You equipped them with the strength to imitate Your Passion and death. * They also bravely overcame * all the forces of Belial. * Therefore they received the grace * to perform cures and miracles. * We pray You, by their earnest entreaties, * to grant Your people peace, O Compassionate One.

Θωρακισάμενοι, τὴν πανοπλίαν Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἐνδυσάμενοι, ὅπλα τῆς πίστεως, τὰς παρατάξεις τοῦ ἐχθροῦ, ἀνδρικῶς κατεβάλετε· προθύμως τῇ ἐλπίδι γάρ, τῆς ζωῆς ὑπεμείνατε, πάσας τῶν τυράννων, πρὶν ἀπειλάς τε καὶ μάστιγας· διὸ καὶ τοὺς στεφάνους ἐδέξασθε, Μάρτυρες Χριστοῦ οἱ καρτερόψυχοι.

When you put on the whole armor of Christ our God, * and armed yourselves with His breastplate righteousness * and faith and love, you vanquished hosts of enemies courageously. * Hoping in the life to come, you endured with alacrity * every threat and punishment * of the tyrants who tortured you. * O Martyrs of Christ, you were valiant, * and you received the medals of victory. [GOASD]

Στίχ. Τοῖς ἁγίοις τοῖς ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ ἐθαυμάστωσεν ὁ Κύριος.

Verse: To the saints on His earth, in them He magnified all His will. [SAAS]

Ἐκλάμπετε διὰ τῆς πίστεως, ὑπέρλαμπροι φωστῆρες Ἅγιοι, τῶν ἀσθενούντων ἰατροί, Ἀθλοφόροι πανεύφημοι· τῶν τυράννων γὰρ τὰς αἰκίσεις μὴ δειλανδρήσαντες, τῶν εἰδώλων τὰς δυσφημίας κατηδαφίσατε, τρόπαιον ἔχοντες ἀήττητον, τὸν Σταυρὸν τῆς ἀληθείας.

By faith you shone forth, like most radiant lights, O Saints. You are physicians of the sick, O all-lauded medal-winners. Since your courage did not falter when faced with torture by tyrants, you brought down the blasphemies of the idols, for you bore the Cross of the truth as trophy invincible. [SD]

Δόξα· καὶ νῦν. Θεοτοκίον.

Glory. Both now. Theotokion.

Σὲ τὴν μεσιτεύσασαν τὴν σωτηρίαν τοῦ γένους ἡμῶν, ἀνυμνοῦμεν Θεοτόκε Παρθένε· ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ γὰρ τῇ ἐκ σοῦ προσληφθείσῃ, ὁ Υἱός σου καὶ Θεὸς ἡμῶν τὸ διὰ σταυροῦ καταδεξάμενος πάθος, ἐλυτρώσατο ἡμᾶς, ἐκ φθορᾶς ὡς φιλάνθρωπος.

Virgin Theotokos, we sing hymns extolling you, through whom came humanity’s salvation. For your Son and our God, who is benevolent, accepted the Passion and the crucifixion, in the flesh that He assumed from you, and thus from destruction He rescued us. [GOASD]

Ἡ στιχολογία τοῦ Ἀμώμου εἰς δύο στάσεις γίνεται. Ὁ ἀναγνώστης ἄρχεται καὶ ἀναγινώσκει χῦμα ὅλους τοὺς στίχους μέχρι τοῦ «Εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα οὐ μὴ ἐπιλάθωμαι…» ὅστις ψάλλεται τρίς. Ὁ ἱερεὺς μνημονεύει τῶν κεκοιμημένων· καὶ μετὰ τὴν ἐκφώνησιν ἄρχεται ὁ ἀναγνώστης ἀπὸ τοῦ στίχου «Σός εἰμι ἐγώ, σῶσόν με…» μέχρι τέλους· τὸ δὲ τέλος ἁπὸ τοῦ «Ζήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου…» ψάλλεται πάλιν τρίς. Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐπισυνάπτονται τὰ νεκρώσιμα εὐλογητάρια. Εἶτα ὁ ἱερεὺς ἐπαναλαμβάνει τὴν δέησιν ὑπὲρ τῶν κεκοιμημένων καὶ μετʼ αὐτὴν ψάλλεται τὸ κάθισμα. Ἐν ταῖς ἐνορίαις, παραλειπομένου συνήθως τοῦ Ἀμώμου, εὐθὺς μετὰ τὰ καθίσματα τῆς αʹ στιχολογίας ψάλλονται τὰ εὐλογητάρια, γίνεται ἅπαξ ἡ δέησις καὶ μετʼ αὐτὴν ψάλλονται τὰ ἕτερα καθίσματα.

Psalm 118 is recited in two stanzas. The reader begins reading up to v. 93 (“I will never forget…,” which is sung three times. Then the priest does the litany for the deceased. After the exclamation, the reader resumes reading, from v. 94 (“I am Yours…”) until the end, at which point v. 175 and v. 176 are joined (“My soul shall live… I went astray…”) and sung three times, followed immediately by the Evlogetaria for the Dead. Then the priest repeats the litany for the deceased. After that, the hymns of the second kathisma are sung. In the parishes, where the Psalm is typically not read, the hymns of the first kathisma are immediately followed by the Evlogetaria for the Dead; then the litany for the deceased is done, once, followed by the he hymns of the second kathisma.

Νεκρώσιμα Εὐλογητάρια.

Evlogetaria for the Dead.

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

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 fountain of life and the door of Paradise. May I also find the way through repentance. I am the sheep that is lost: O Savior, call me back and save me. [HC]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

Οἱ τὸν Ἀμνὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ κηρύξαντες, καὶ σφαγιασθέντες ὥσπερ ἄρνες, καὶ πρὸς ζωὴν τὴν ἀγήρῳ, ἅγιοι, καὶ ἀΐδιον μετατεθέντες, τοῦτον ἐκτενῶς, μάρτυρες, αἰτήσασθε, ὀφλημάτων λύσιν ἡμῖν δωρήσασθει.

You who proclaimed the Gospel of the Lamb of God * and who were yourselves like lambs slaughtered, * and were translated to life that is immortal and eternal, * earnestly entreat Him, O holy martyr Saints, * that He grant us remission of all our debts. [SD]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

Οἱ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν στενὴν βαδίσαντες, τεθλιμμένην πάντες οἱ ἐν βίῳ, οἱ τὸν σταυρόν, ὡς ζυγὸν ἀράμενοι, καὶ ἐμοὶ ἀκολουθήσαντες ἐν πίστει, δεῦτε ἀπολάβετε, ἃ ἡτοίμασα ὑμῖν βραβεῖα, καὶ στέφη τὰ οὐράνια.

All you who during your earthly life * walked the narrow way full of hardships, * who taking up the cross as a yoke * followed after Me believing, * come now and enjoy the rewards * and the heavenly crowns that I prepared for you. [SD]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

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 created me from nothing and honored me with Your divine image. But when I disobeyed Your commandment, O Lord, You cast me down to the earth from where I was taken. Lead me back again to Your likeness, and renew my original beauty. [HC]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

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 scars of my transgressions. On Your creation, Master, take pity and cleanse me by Your compassion. Grant me the homeland for which I long and once again make me a citizen of Paradise. [HC]

Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Κύριε, δίδαξόν με τὰ δικαιώματά σου.

Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.

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, and place him (her) in Paradise where the choirs of the Saints and the righteous will shine as the stars of heaven. To Your departed servant give rest, O Lord, and forgive all his (her) offenses. [HC]

Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ καὶ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Τὸ τριλαμπὲς τῆς μιᾶς Θεότητος, εὐσεβῶς ὑμνήσωμεν βοῶντες· Ἅγιος εἶ, ὁ Πατὴρ ὁ ἄναρχος, ὁ συνάναρχος Υἱὸς καὶ τὸ θεῖον Πνεῦμα. Φώτισον ἡμᾶς πίστει σοι λατρεύοντας, καὶ τοῦ αἰωνίου πυρὸς ἐξάρπασον.

The threefold radiance of the one God let us praise, and let us shout in song: Holy are You, eternal Father, coeternal Son, and divine Spirit! Illumine us who worship You in faith and deliver us from the eternal fire. [HC]

Καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. Ἀμήν.

Both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Χαῖρε σεμνή, ἡ Θεὸν σαρκὶ τεκοῦσα, εἰς πάντων σωτηρίαν, διʼ ἧς γένος τῶν ἀνθρώπων εὕρατο τὴν σωτηρίαν· διὰ σοῦ εὕροιμεν παράδεισον, Θεοτόκε ἁγνὴ εὐλογημένη.

Psalm 50 (51).

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 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 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 Σιὼν 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.

When God became incarnate and He assumed * the essence of humanity in your womb, then you held the light * of the Godhead; and therefore we call you the lampstand metaphorically. * O Theotokos, earnestly pray your Son and God, * that He give rest to those who passed away from us, * and put them in the place, wherein glad are all who have their dwelling in Him, * to glorify you, all-blameless one.
