Ευλογητός εί, Χριστέ ο Θεός ημών,

ο πανσόφους τους αλιείς αναδείξας,

καταπέμψας αυτοίς το Πνεύμα το Άγιον,

και δι' αυτών την οικουμένην σαγηνεύσας,

Φιλάνθρωπε,

δόξα Σοι

Blessed be you, O Christ our God

Who showed the fishermen to be most wise

you sent the Holy Spirit upon them

and through them you caught the inhabited world in your net

O Lover of Mankind

Glory to you
