Irmos: Madly did the Chaldæan tyrant heat the furnace sevenfold for the pious ones; but, beholding them saved by a higher Power, he cried out to the Creator and Deliverer: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
As branches of the immaterial Vine, the martyrs have put forth for us grapes of divine knowledge and have poured forth the wine of immortality upon all, doing away with the harm of spiritual drunkenness, chanting: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Theotokion: Sanctified by the Spirit, O all-immaculate Theotokos, thou gavest birth unto the Holy One Who resteth in the saints, God our sole Benefactor, Who sanctifieth all who with faith cry out: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
With the flow of their blood the passion-bearers dried up the rivers of the madness of idolatry, and with the glory of Christ they utterly consumed the conflagration of the godless command, and have given drink abundantly unto every heart which crieth out with faith: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
Laboring in this sacred work, one foreordained from among the holy hierarchs accomplished your sacred translation, O most blessed ones, and honoreth it yearly, chanting with all the priestly company: Ye children, bless; ye priests, hymn; ye people, exalt Him supremely for all ages!
