At the Kyrie Ekekraksa Compunctionate Stichera of the Tone EΣΠΕΡΙΝOΣ «ΣΥΓΧΩΡΗΣΕΩΣ» Ὁ Προοιµιακός. Εἰρηνικά. Εἰς τὸ «Κύριε, ἐκέκραξα» Στιχηρὰ Κατανυκτικά τοῦ Ἦχου Tone 3 Ἦχος γ Stichos 1 Στίχ. α Bring my soul out of prison that I may confess Your name. With incense and with spiritual songs, we offer to You, O Christ, our evening hymn. Have mercy upon our souls, O Savior. Ἐξάγαγε ἐκ φυλακῆς τὴν ψυχήν µου, τοῦ ἐξοµολογήσασθαι τῷ ὀνόµατί σου. Ἑσπερινὸν ὕµνον, προσφέροµέν σοὶ Χριστέ, µετὰ θυµιάµατος, καὶ ὠδῶν πνευµατικῶν, ἐλέησον Σωτὴρ τὰς ψυχὰς ἡµῶν. Stichos 2 Στίχ. β The righteous shall wait patiently for me until You reward me. Save me, O Lord my God, for You are the salvation of all. The billows of my passions sorely trouble me, and the burden of my transgressions drags me down. Stretch out Your hand in help, and lead me up to the light of compunction, for You alone are compassionate and love mankind. Ἐµὲ ὑποµενοῦσι δίκαιοι, ἕως οὐ ἀνταποδῶς µοί. Σώσόν µε Κύριε ὁ Θεός µου, σὺ γὰρ πάντων ἡ σωτηρία, ὁ κλύδων µὲ τῶν παθῶν ἐκταράττει, καὶ τὸ βάρος τῶν ἀνοµιῶν µὲ βυθίζει, δὸς µοὶ χείρα βοηθείας, καὶ πρός φῶς ἀνάγαγέ µε κατανύξεως, ὡς µόνος εὔσπλαγχνος, καὶ φιλάνθρωπος. Stichos 3 Στίχ. γ Out of the depths I have cried to You, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Gather together my scattered mind, O Lord, and purify my dry and barren heart, giving me repentance like Peter, sighs of sorrow like the Publican, and tears like the harlot, that I may cry with a loud voice to You: Save me, O God, for You alone are compassionate and love mankind. Ἐκ βαθέων ἐκέκραξά σοι, Κύριε, Κύριε εἰσάκουσον τῆς φωνῆς µου. Τὸν διεσπαρµένον µου νοῦν συνάγαγε Κύριε, καὶ τὴν χερσωθείσάν µου καρδίαν καθάρισον, ὡς τῶ Πέτρω διδοὺς µοὶ µετάνοιαν, ὡς τῶ Τελώνη στεναγµόν, καὶ ὡς τὴ Πόρνη δάκρυα, ἵνα µεγάλῃ τὴ φωνὴ κραυγάζω σοί, ὁ Θεὸς σώσόν µε, ὡς µόνος εὔσπλαγχνος καὶ φιλάνθρωπος. Stichos 4 Στίχ. δ Let Your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. Γενηθήτω τὰ ὦτά σου προσέχοντα εἰς τὴν φωνὴν τῆς δεήσεώς µου. Often when I offer praise to God, I am found Πολλάκις τὴν ὑµνωδίαν ἐκτελῶν, εὑρέθην τὴν to be committing sin; for while I sing the ἁµαρτίαν ἐκπληρῶν, τὴ µὲν γλώττη ἄσµατα hymns with my tongue, I ponder evil thoughts φθεγγόµενος, τὴ δὲ ψυχὴ ἄτοπα λογιζόµενος, 1
in my soul. But through repentance, Christ my God, set my tongue and soul aright, and have mercy on me. Prosomoia Stichera from the Triodion By Joseph Tone 2 While the angels sang Rejoice! ἀλλ ἑκάτερα διόρθωσον Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, διὰ τῆς µετανοίας, καὶ ἐλέησόν µε. Στιχηρὰ Προσόµοια τοῦ Τριωδίου Ποίηµα τοῦ κυρίου Ἰωσὴφ Ἦχος β Ἀγγελος µὲν τὸ Χαῖρε Stichos 5 Στίχ. ε If You should mark iniquities, Lord, Lord, who shall stand? For with You there is forgiveness. Let us all make haste to humble the flesh by abstinence, as we set out upon the God-given course of the holy Fast; and with prayers and tears let us seek our Lord and Savior. Laying aside all memories of evil, let us cry aloud: We have sinned against You, Christ our King; save us as the men of Nineveh in days of old, and in Your compassion make us sharers in Your heavenly Kingdom. Stichos 6 For Your name s sake I have patiently waited for You, Lord; my soul has waited patiently for Your word, my soul has hoped in the Lord. When I think of my works, deserving every punishment, I despair of myself, O Lord. For see, I have despised Your precious commandments and wasted my life as he Prodigal. Therefore I entreat You: cleanse me in the waters of repentance, and through prayer and fasting make me shine with light, for You alone are merciful; do not detest me, O Benefactor of all, supreme in love. Another, by Theodore Tone 2 Of ineffable gifts Ἐὰν ἀνοµίας παρατηρήσης, Κύριε, Κύριε τὶς ὑποστήσεται; ὅτι παρὰ σοὶ ὁ ἱλασµὸς ἐστιν. Ἐγκρατεία τὴν σάρκα, ταπεινῶσαι πάντες σπουδάσωµεν, τὸ θεῖον ὑπερχόµενοι στάδιον, τῆς ἀµώµου Νηστείας, καὶ εὐχαὶς καὶ δάκρυσι, Κύριον τὸν σώζοντα ἡµᾶς ἐκζητήσωµεν, καὶ λήθην τῆς κακίας παντελῆ ποιήσωµεν βοῶντες. Ἡµάρτοµέν σοί, σῶσον, ὡς πάλαι Νινευϊτας, Χριστὲ Βασιλεῦ, καὶ κοινωνοὺς ἡµᾶς, οὐρανίου Βασιλείας ποίησον εὔσπλαγχνε. Στίχ. στ Ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόµατός σου ὑπέµεινά σε, Κύριε, ὑπέµεινεν ἡ ψυχή µου εἰς τὸν λόγον σου, ἤλπισεν ἡ ψυχή µου ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Ἐµαυτὸν ἀπελπίζω, ἐννοῶν τὰ ἔργα µου Κύριε, τὰ πάσης τιµωρίας ἐπάξια, ἰδοὺ γὰρ παραβλέψας, τὰ σεπτά σου Σῶτερ ἐντάλµατα, ἀσώτως µου τὸν βίον ἠνάλωσα, διὸ καθικετεύω, µετανοίας ὄµβροις µὲ καθάρας, νηστεία καὶ δεήσει, ὡς µόνος Ἐλεήµων ἐκλάµπρυνον, καὶ µὴ βδελύξη, µὲ Εὐεργέτα τῶν ἁπάντων, καὶ Ὑπεράγαθε. Ἕτερον Τοῦ κυρίου Θεοδώρου Ἦχος β Τῶν ὑπὲρ νοῦν δωρεῶν Stichos 7 Στίχ. ζ From the morning watch until night, from the morning watch let Israel hope in the Lord. Ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωϊας µέχρι νυκτός, ἀπὸ φυλακῆς πρωϊας ἐλπισάτω Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον. Let us set out with joy upon the season of the Τὸν τῆς Νηστείας καιρόν, φαιδρὼς Fast, and prepare ourselves for spiritual ἀπαρξώµεθα, πρὸς ἀγῶνας πνευµατικοὺς combat. Let us purify our soul and cleanse our ἑαυτοὺς ὑποβάλλοντες, ἁγνίσωµεν τὴν 2
flesh; and as we fast from food, let us abstain also from every passion. Rejoicing in the virtues of the Spirit may we persevere with love, and so be counted worthy to see the solemn Passion of Christ our God, and with great spiritual gladness to behold His holy Passover. Prosomoia Stichera from the Menaion February 27 Tone 4 As valiant among martyrs 3 ψυχήν, τὴν σάρκα καθάρωµεν, νηστεύσωµεν ὥσπερ ἐν τοῖς βρώµασιν ἐκ παντὸς πάθους, τὰς ἀρετὰς τρυφῶντες τοῦ Πνεύµατος, ἐν αἲς διατελοῦντες πόθω, ἀξιωθείηµεν πάντες, κατιδεῖν τὸ πάνσεπτον Πάθος Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἅγιον Πάσχα, πνευµατικῶς ἐναγαλλιώµενοι. Στιχηρὰ προσόµοια ἐκ τοῦ Μηναίου 27η Φεβρουαρίου Ἦχος δ Ὡς γενναῖον ἐν µάρτυσι Stichos 8 Στίχ. η For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption; and He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Being made in the image of God, the ancient likeness of our first fashioning, O all-blessed one, you strove zealously in piety of thought and in chastity to preserve the dignity of that image through purity of nous, through abstaining from passions, and through observing Christ s commandmenrs, in true religion and through upright faith. Ὅτι παρὰ τῶ Κυρίω τὸ ἔλεος, καὶ πολλὴ παρ αὐτῷ, λύτρωσις. καὶ αὐτὸς λυτρώσεται τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἒκ πασῶν τῶν ἀνοµιῶν αὐτοῦ. Κατ εἰκόνα γενόµενος, τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ὁµοίωσιν, κατ ἀρχὴν τῆς πλάσεως Παµµακάριστε, τὸ τῆς εἰκόνος ἀξίωµα, τηρεῖν διεσπούδασας, λογισµῷ πανευσεβεῖ, καὶ νοός καθαρότητι, καὶ ἁγνότητι, καὶ παθῶν ἐγκρατείᾳ καὶ τηρήσει, τῶν Χριστοῦ διαταγµάτων, καὶ εὐσεβείᾳ Πανόλβιε. Stichos 9 Στίχ. θ Praise the Lord, all you nations; praise Him, all you peoples. To your former ascetic feats, you added your subsequent struggles, in the godliness of your mind; and through them both, you were pleasing to your Maker, Who demands nothing from us save purity, and nobility of the soul; and in worthily glorifying His coming in the flesh, you revered the holy icon that portrays His humanity. Αἰνεῖτε τὸν Κύριον πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, ἐπαινέσατε αὐτόν, πάντες οἱ λαοί. Τῇ ἀσκήσει τὸ πρότερον, προσλαβὼν καὶ τὴν ἄθλησιν, θεοφρόνως ὕστερον, εὐηρέστησας, δι ἀµφοτέρων τῷ Κτίσαντι, τῷ µόνῳ τὴν κάθαρσιν, ἀπαιτοῦντι παρ ἡµῶν, καὶ ψυχῆς τὴν εὐγένειαν οὗ τὴν ἔνσαρκον, παρουσίαν δοξάζων προσεκύνεις, τὴν εἰκόνα τὴν ἁγίαν, τῆς κατ αὐτὸν ἀνθρωπότητος. Stichos 10 Στίχ. ι For He has made His mercy to prevail over us, and the truth of the Lord abides to the ages. For convicting the impious who in wicked ungodliness set as nothing the dread judgment of the Word, you were made perfect through scourgings and through all forms of punishments while in prisons and in bonds, Ὅτι ἐκραταιώθη τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐφ ἡµᾶς, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ Κυρίου µένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. Τοὺς τοῦ Λόγου τὴν σάρκωσιν, δυσσεβῶς ἀθετήσαντας, διελέγχων ὅσιε, διετέλεσας, διὰ µαστίγων ἐτάσεως, πάσης τε κακώσεως, καὶ δεσµῶν καὶ φυλακῆς, βεβαιῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὅθεν γέγονας, τῆς Χριστοῦ βασιλείας
through which you did confirm the truth. κληρονόµος, καὶ χαρᾶς ἀνεκλαλήτου, καὶ Therefore, O righteous one, you became an ἀϊδίου ἐλλάµψεως. heir of joy untold, illumination everlasting, and of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Theotokion from the Menaion Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. You who held within your womb God, Whom all things can not contain, yet Who in His love for us became a man, taking upon HImself from you our human nature, and truly making it to be divine; O all-pure Lady, do not disdain me, who am now oppressed, but take pity, O Virgin, quickly rescue me from all the harm and the ruin and the hateful spite of the evil one. Entrance αὐτήν. 4 Προσόµοιον Θεοτοκίον τοῦ Μηναίου Δόξα Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῶ καὶ τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύµατι, καὶ νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ καὶ εἰς τους αἰῶνας των αἰώνων. Ἡ Θεὸν τὸν ἀχώρητον, ἐν γαστρί σου χωρήσασα, φιλανθρώπως ἄνθρωπον χρηµατίσαντα, καὶ τὸ ἡµέτερον φύραµα, ἐκ σοῦ προσλαβόµενον, καὶ θεώσαντα σαφῶς, µὴ παρίδῃς µε Πάναγνε, νῦν θλιβόµενον, ἀλλ οἰκτείρησον τάχος καὶ παντοίας, δυσµενείας τε καὶ βλάβης, τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐλευθέρωσον.

It is worthy at all times to praise You, with voices of holy song, O Son of God the Giver of life (of life): the world does glorify (glorify) You. Great Prokeimenon Φως ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης, ἀθανάτου Πατρός, οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, µάρκαρος, Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν ἠλίου δύσιν, ἰδόντες φῶς ἑσπερινόν, ὑµνοῦµεν Πατέρα, Υἱόν, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦµα Θεόν.
