Tone 1: Behold, the prophecy of Isaiah hath been fulfilled, /
for a Virgin hath given birth, /
and after giving birth hath remained a Virgin as before. /
For God was born; therefore He began nature anew. /
O Mother of God, disdain not the supplications of thy servants, /
which are offered unto thee in thy temple; /
but as thou bearest the Compassionate One in thine arms, /
have pity on thy servants, //
and beseech Him that our souls be saved.
Tone 2: O new wonder greater than all the wonders of the past! /
For who hath ever known a mother to give birth without having known a man, /
and to bear on her arm Him Who sustaineth all creation? /
Yet it was the will of God to be born. /
O all-pure one, who bore Him in thine arms as an infant /
and hast maternal boldness before Him: /
cease not to pray in behalf of those who honor thee, //
that He have compassion and save our souls.
Tone 3: Through the divine Spirit, by the will of the Father, /
without seed thou didst conceive the Son of God /
Who hath existed without mother from before the ages, /
and for our sake thou gavest birth in the flesh unto Him /
Who came forth from thee without father; /
and thou didst nurture Him on milk as a babe. /
Wherefore, cease not to pray, //
that our souls be delivered from tribulations.
Tone 4: Mercifully regard the supplications of thy servants, /
O all-immaculate one, /
quelling the uprisings of the cruel demons against us, /
delivering us from every sorrow; /
for thee alone have we as a steadfast and sure confirmation, /
and we have acquired thine intercession; /
let not us that call upon thee be put to shame, O Mistress. /
Haste thou to answer the entreaty /
of those who cry out to thee with faith: /
Rejoice, thou help, joy and protection of all, //
and salvation of our souls!
Tone 5: Thou art the temple and portal, /
the palace and throne of the King, /
O most honored Virgin, /
through whom Christ the Lord, my Deliverer, /
Who is the Sun of righteousness, /
hath revealed Himself unto those who sleep in darkness, /
desiring to enlighten that which He fashioned /
by His own hand in His image. /
Wherefore, O most hymned one, /
as thou hast acquired maternal boldness before Him, //
entreat Him without ceasing, that our souls be saved.
Tone 6: Christ the Lord, my Creator and Deliverer, /
Who came forth from thy womb, O all-pure one, /
and robed Himself in me, /
hath freed Adam from the curse. /
Wherefore, like the angel do we unceasingly cry out to thee, /
O most pure one, who art truly the Mother of God and Virgin: /
Rejoice! Rejoice, O Mistress, //
thou intercession, protection and salvation for our souls!
Tone 7: Having recourse unto thy protection, O Mistress, /
all of us born of earth cry aloud to thee: O Theotokos, our hope, /
deliver us from our countless transgressions, //
and save thou our souls.
Tone 8: O unwedded Virgin /
who ineffably conceived God in the flesh, /
Mother of God Most High: /
accept the entreaties of thy servants, /
O most immaculate one, /
granting unto all cleansing of transgressions; /
and, accepting now our supplications, //
pray thou that we all be saved.
