#ExapostilarionOfTheDormition

SWAHILI
Enyi Mitume mliokusanyika * toka pembe zote duniani * leo hapa Gethsemane; * sasa njooni mzike mwili wangu. * Na wewe, mwanangu na Mungu wangu, * pokea roho yangu yaja.

ENGLISH
Apostles, you have assembled * from
every corner of the earth * here in Gethsemane
today; * now come and bury my body. *
And You, my Son and my God, * receive my
departing spirit.

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΆ
Ἀπόστολοι ἐκ περάτων, συναθροισθέντες
ἐνθάδε, Γεθσημανὴ τῷ χωρίω, κηδεύσατέ μου
τὸ σῶμα· καὶ σὺ Υἱὲ καὶ Θεέ μου, παράλαβέ
μου τὸ πνεῦμα.
