и животворящей Троице
трисвятую песнь припевающе
всякое ныне житейское
отложим попечение
Яко да Царя всех подымем
Ангельскими невидимо
дориносима чинми
(Eezhe kherooveemi Tighna obrazooyushche
Ee zheevotvoryashchay Troytse
Treesvyatooyu pyesn preepyevayushche
Fsyakoye ninye zhityayskoye
Otlozhim popyechayneeye
Yako da Tsarya fsyekh podimyem

Aleeluiya.
Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim,
And who sing the thrice-holy hymn
To the life-creating Trinity
And now lay aside
All the cares of this life
That we may receive the King of All
Who comes invisibly borne by the angelic host
Alleluia.)

Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim,
As representatives of the Cherubim let us commence
And who sing the thrice-holy hymn
In addition, we chant the hymn thrice-holy
To the life-creating Trinity
This praise is for the Trinity that creates life
And now lay aside
Let us henceforth put aside
All the cares of this life
The worry and anxiety from this mortal life
That we may receive the King of All
In order to take in the King of everyone
Who comes invisibly borne by the angelic host
He who is borne on by an angelic troop, invisible
Alleluia.
Praise the Lord.
