the service of the small Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos
first & second stanza(in English and Greek)-sorry I couldn't helped myself,the Greek is starting to grow on me :)
To the Theotokos,let us run now most fervently,
As sinners and lowly ones,
Let us fall down in repentance,
Crying from the depths of our soul:
Lady,come and help us;
Have compassion upon us;
Hasten now for we are lost
In the host of our errors;
Do not turn your servants away,
For you alone are a hope to us.
Ti Theotoko ektenos nin prosdramomen,amartoli ke tapini,ke prospesomen en metania,krazondes ek vathous psihis; Despina,voithison,ef imin splahnisthisa,spefson,apolimetha,ipo plithous ptesmaton,;mi apostrepsis sous doulous kenous;se gar ke monin elpida kektimetha.
O Theotokos,we shall never be silent.
Of your mighty acts,all we the unworthy;
Had you not stood to intercede for us
Who would have delivered us,
From the numerous perils?
Who would have preserved us all
Until now with our freedom?
O Lady,we shall not depart from you;
For you always save your servants,
From all tribulation.
Ou siopisomen pote,Theotoke,tas dinastias sou,lalin I anaxii;imi gar si proistaso presvevousa, tis imas erisato ek tosouton kindinon? Tis de diefilaxsen eos nin eleftherous? Ouk apostomen,Despina,ek sou;sous gar doulous sozis ai,ek pandion dinon.
