Ili kwa nia moja tuungame: Baba, Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu; Utatu wa asili moja, na asiyetengana.

Swahili Troparion of St Makarios of Egypt (Jan 19)



Apolytikion of St Macarius of Egypt

SWAHILI:
Mkaazi wa jangwa na malaika katika mwili
Ulionyeshwa kuwa mtenda miujiza,
Ee Baba mtakatifu Makarios.
Ulipokea tuzo za mbinguni
Kwa kufunga, kukesha na kuomba
Kuponya wagonjwa na nafsi za wajao kwako kwa imani.
Utukufu kwa aliyekupa nguvu
Utukufu kwa aliyekuvisha taji
Utukufu kwa aponyaye wote kupitia kwako.

ENGLISH:
Dweller of the desert and angel in the body / you were shown to be a wonder-worker, our God-bearing Father Macarius. / You received heavenly gifts through fasting, vigil, and prayer: / healing the sick and the souls of those drawn to you by faith. / Glory to Him who gave you strength! / Glory to Him who granted you a crown! / Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all.
