Blessed [are] you, Lord, teach me Your precedents.
[The] heavenly host was surprised, 
[As] You shouldn’t have been mixed up among the dead, 
Yet death, Saviour, [you] destroyed [its] fortress, 
And you yourself brought forth Adam, 
And from Hades we were all freed.

Blessed [are] you, Lord, teach me Your precedents.
“Why, myrrh with merciful tears, 
O maidens, [do you] dissolve [these things] together?”
Shining from [the] grave [the] Angel announced to the whole world:
“Look into the grave and realize:
[The] Saviour is risen from the grave.”

Blessed [are] you, Lord, teach me Your precedents.
Exceedingly early bearers approached Your tomb in tears,
But appearing to them, [an] Angel said: 
“[The] time of crying is past, don’t cry,
Tell of [the] resurrection to [the] apostles.”

Blessed [are] you, Lord, teach me Your precedents.
Women carrying myrrh approached Your grave, Saviour, crying. 
But [the] Angel said to them, asking: 
“…Why among the dead, do you seek the living?
For God has raised him from [the] grave.”

Glory to the Father and Song and Holy Spirit. 
Worship [the] Father and His Son, and Holy Spirit, 
Holy Trinity in one being, 
With [the] seraphim proclaiming:
Holy, holy, holy [are] you, Lord. 

Both now and always and forever, amen.
Life-giving one-who-gives birth, from sin, Virgin, you saved Adam. 
Joy, even to Eve, instead of sorrow, you gave; 
Even [those] fallen from life [received] this righteousness, 
From You incarnate God and man.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, glory to you, God.
