Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas!

Every ear has been amazed

At the unspeakable condescension of Mine,

For of his own good will, the most-high

Has condescended even unto the flesh,

Becoming man through a virgin’s womb.

Therefore, you, unfaithful ones, extol Me.

Having an impregnable and invincible stronghold, My martyrs

Brought to naught the godless commands of their tormentors;

And while yet in the flesh they were visibly granted My Kingdom,

Being illumined by the beams of the Trinity who is all-worthy of praise.

Bitter Hell was destroyed when I destroyed it.

I raised from the dead those who had lain asleep there throughout all the ages.

But now also, since I am merciful

I grant My unfading light to them [who have come to Me]

When I had descended into the deepest pit,

I raised again those who dwelt in the grave.

(O Virgin, you bore God the Saviour as Man in the flesh)

Through this palm of victory

I grant rest to My servants

(Who before you have fallen asleep in the Faith).

Praise the Father, the Son, and My Holy Spirit

Since I, the overflowing Fountain of Life,

And a Stream of sweetest pleasures,

Grant that My servants

(Who have been translated to My presence may devoutly praise and magnify Me unto all the ages)

Praise the Father, the Son, and My Holy Spirit

Since I, the overflowing Fountain of Life,

And a Stream of sweetest pleasures,

Grant that My servants...

O Theotokos, you bore God the Saviour

As Man in the flesh,

Save those who with faith praise

My birth, and extol Me throughout all the ages.

The Hebrew children in the furnace

Trod boldly on the flames,

And the fire was changed to dew as they sang:

“Blessed are You, O Lord, unto the ages”.

“Blessed are You, O Lord, unto the ages”.

(O Lord, unto the ages)

All the desire of the martyrs

Reached out to the only Lord, to whom

They were united in love, and sang to Me:

“Blessed are You, O Lord God, unto the ages”.

(O Lord, unto the ages)

They cry aloud, “O most-holy one, blessed is

The fruit of your womb”.

I give the brightness of My divine Kingdom to those

Who have departed this life in faith.

I also grant the robe of incorruption to those who cry aloud:

“Blessed are You, O Lord God, unto the ages”.

(I am blessed, unto the ages)

I fill with joy and gladness

My servants whom I have taken from this life.

Bountiful One, I have enabled them to call upon Me, and to sing:

“Blessed are You, O Lord, unto the ages”.

I am blessed, unto the ages.

I am blessed, unto the ages.

I will purge you, I am your Saviour,

For your iniquities are many;

I will lead you forth from the abyss of evil,

Beseech Me, for you have cried out to Me,

And I will hear you, I, the God of your salvation.

My martyrs endured many pains,

Being wounded in soul by the love of Mine,

And desiring My eternal glory

And My sweet communion.

I tore open the belly of the enemy by death,

And raised again all those who were captive within

Bestowing life upon them,

And I will grant the same to those [servants of Mine] who have fallen asleep

I will deliver My servants from the tears and sighing which are in Hell.

And I will grant the same to those [servants of Mine] who have fallen asleep.

He who is the Creator of all nature is enfleshed in My womb.

I am who is full, in that I am God,

I am who is full, in that I am God.

For I am alone of tender mercy and have wiped away all tears from the faces of all those who with faith bless Me.

The Only Immortal One, I die the death for the salvation of all mankind.

I am who is full, in that I am God,

I am who is full, in that I am God.

I am who is full, in that I am God,

I am who is full, in that I am God.

The Only Immortal One, I die the death for the salvation of all mankind.

The Only Immortal One, I die the death for the salvation of all mankind.

I die the death for the salvation of all mankind.
