         Have mercy upon us, O God,     according to your great mercy,
shegvitsqale chven ghmerto’ didita tsqalobita shenita,

we pray to you, hear us and have mercy.
gevedrebi ismine da shegvitskale.   

Again we pray for the repose of the souls of the departed servants of God
mermetsa gevedrebi gansvenebisatvis sulta mitsvalebulta monata da mxevalta gvtisata

Georgian godly kings and godly queens

and for all hear mentioned
 da kovelta aqa mokhsenebulta

and for the forgiveness of all their sins
da rata sheundven mat kovelni shetsodebanni matni

both voluntary and involuntary
nebsitni da u-ne-blietni 

May the Lord God grant their souls rest where the righteous repose.

For the mercies of God, the kingdom of heaven,
Tska’loba gvtisa da sasupeveli tsata

 and the forgiveness of  their sins,
 da miteveba tsodvata matta

 let us ask from Christ our immortal King and God.

Let us pray to the Lord.

Grant this, O Lord. Lord, have mercy.
