| May Your holy Oblation be the intercessor on our behalf on judgment [day] before that bema full of dread and vehemence. | ܩܘܽܕܫܳܟ ܢܶܗܘܶܐ ܠܡܶܬܟܰܫܦܳܢܳܐ ܒܕܺܝܢܳܐ ܚܠܳܦܰܝܢ ܆ ܩܕܳܡ ܗܳܝ ܒܺܐܡܰܐ ܕܡܰܠܝܳܐ ܕܶܚܠܳܐ ܘܥܰܙܺܝܙܘܽܬܳܐ ܀ |
| Halleluja! Hallelujah! Glory be to the One from whom the Church and her children drink and [to whom] sing praise [see Ps 104:33]. | ܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܘܗܰܠܶܠܘܽܝܰܐ ܠܶܗ ܬܶܫܒܘܽܚܬܳܐ ܆ ܕܫܳܬܝܳܐ ܡܶܢܶܗ ܥܺܕܬܳܐ ܘܝܰܠ̈ܕܶܝܗ̇ ܘܙܳܡܪܺܝܢ ܫܘܽܒܚܳܐ ܀ |
