Izhe heruvimï tayno obrazuyushche, i
zhïvotvoriashchey Troitse
trisviatuyu pesn pripevayushche,
fsiakoye nïne zhïteyskoye otlozhïm popecheniye.
Amin.
Yako da Tsaria fseh podïmem,
Angelskimi nevidimo dorinosima chinmi.
Alliluiya, alliluiya, alliluiya.

Let us who mystically represent the Cherubim,
and who sing the thrice-holy hymn to the life-creating
Trinity,
now lay aside all cares of this life,
Amen.
That we may receive the King of All,
who comes invisibly upborne by the angelic host.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
