Σήμερον κρεμάται επί ξύλου
Σήμερον κρεμᾶται ἐπὶ ξύλου, ὁ ἐν ὕδασι τὴν γῆν κρεμάσας.
Στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν περιτίθεται, ὁ τῶν Ἀγγέλων Βασιλεύς.2
Ψευδῆ πορφύραν περιβάλλεται, ὁ περιβάλλων τὸν οὐρανὸν ἐν νεφέλαις.
Ῥάπισμα κατεδέξατο, ὁ ἐν Ἰορδάνῃ ἐλευθερώσας τὸν Ἀδάμ.
Ἥλοις προσηλώθη, ὁ Νυμφίος τῆς Ἐκκλησίας.
Λόγχῃ ἐκεντήθη, ὁ Υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου.
Προσκυνοῦμέν σου τὰ Πάθη Χριστέ.
Δεῖξον ἡμῖν, καὶ τὴν ἔνδοξόν σου Ἀνάστασιν.
Today He is hanging from a piece of wood
Today He is hanging from a piece of wood, He Who has hanged the earth over the waters of the sea.
He is having on His head a thorny crown, He who is the King of Angels.
He is dressed with a fake purple cloak, He Who has dressed the sky with clouds.
He endures being beaten, He Who has liberated Adam in Jordan river.
He is immobilized with nails, the Groom of Church.5
He is stabbed with spear, the Son of Virgin.
We bend our knees before your sufferings, Christ.
Show to us, your glorious resurrection.
