God, having accepted the sacrifice of Abraham and looked upon the burnt offering, showed Anna the prophetess to give birth to Samuel, receive a good parent, father and mother, remember, O Lord, the ancient mother mine: remember, Lord, nursing, remember, Lord, tears, remember, Lord, sighing, remember, Lord, for not wanting to be separated from me, and behold, separated from for the rest of this time. But for milking and feeding, and for tears and sighing, and for separation, even from me, I receive eternal joy. Do not bring them, Lord, from sorrow to sorrow, from sorrow to sorrow, from lamentation to lamentation. But for the sacrifice of birth and bringing to You, Lord, I, unworthy of Your servant (name) of the Kingdom of Heaven, bless me. For be blessed and glorified be Thy most honorable and magnificent name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
