Νόμῳ θανόντων, τὴν ἐν τῷ τάφῳ
κατάθεσιν, ἡ τῶν ὅλων δέχεται ζωή,
καὶ τοῦτον πηγήν, δείκνυσιν
ἐγέρσεως, εἰς σωτηρίαν ἡμῶν τῶν
μελῳδούντων· Λυτρωτά, ὁ Θεός
εὐλογητὸς εἶ.

Glory to the Father, Son & Holy Spirit
The Life of all, in accordance with the law of the dead, submits to the tomb and shows it to be the fountain of Resurrection, for the salvation us, who sing: Blessed are You O God our deliverer

Ineffable wonder! He who saved
the righteous youths from the fire of the furnace, is placed in the grave a breathless corpse, for the salvation of us who sing: Blessed are You O God our deliverer.

Ὠδὴ ηʹ. Ὁ Ἑριμός. .
Ἔκστηθι φρίττων οὐρανέ, καὶ
σαλευθήτωσαν τὰ θεμέλια τῆς γῆς·
ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἐν νεκροῖς λογίζεται, ὁ ἐν
ὑψίστοις οἰκῶν, καὶ τάφῳ σμικρῷ
ξενοδοχεῖται, ὃν Παῖδες εὐλογεῖτε,
Ἱερεῖς ἀνυμνεῖτε, λαὸς ὑπερυψοῦτε,
εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας

We bless Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Lord

The courage of the Disciples failed. But Joseph of Arimathea shows valor; for beholding the God of all, dead and naked, he asked for Him and arrayed Him, crying out: "O you youths bless Him; you priests praise Him; and you people, exalt Him to all the ages."
