The Lord rebukes you, O devil, God the Word who came down from heaven from the Father's bosom, and through the holy, adorable, ineffable, and immaculate incarnation from the Virgin was unspeakably manifest in the 64.1065 world to save it, and with his own sovereign power cast you from heaven, and showed you to be completely undone. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who said to the sea: ‘Peace, be still,’ and at his command it was immediately calm. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who made clay with his immaculate spittle, and formed the missing member for the man blind from birth, and bestowed sight. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who by a word gave life to the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue, and snatched the widow's son from the mouth of death and gave him back whole and healthy to his own mother. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who presented Lazarus, four days dead, uncorrupted as if he had not died, and undefiled, to the astonishment of the many. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who by being struck abolished the curse, and by the spear in his immaculate side turned back the flaming sword that guarded paradise. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who by the spittle on his honorable countenance wiped away every tear from every face. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who set up the cross as one support and salvation for the world, but for your fall and that of all the angels under you. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who gave a cry on his cross, and the veil of the temple was torn, and the rocks were split, and the tombs were opened, and those dead from ages past arose. The Lord rebukes you, O devil, who by death put death to death, and by his resurrection bestowed life upon mankind. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, who descended into Hades, and shook its tombs, and freed all the captives held in it, and called them to himself; whom the gatekeepers saw and shuddered, and hidden in the agony of Hades, they failed. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, Christ our God who rose from the dead and granted his resurrection to all. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, who in glory ascended into heaven to his Father, and is seated at the right hand of the majesty on a throne of glory. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, who is coming again with glory on the clouds of heaven, with his holy angels, to judge the living and the dead. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, who has prepared for you the unquenchable fire, and the sleepless worm, and the outer darkness for eternal punishment. May the Lord rebuke you, O devil, before the face of whose power all things shudder and tremble, for unbearable is the wrath of his threat against you.

He himself, the Lord, rebukes you, O devil, through his terrible name; shudder, tremble, be afraid, depart, be utterly destroyed, be put to flight, you who fell from heaven, and with you all wicked spirits, every wicked spirit, spirit of licentiousness, spirit of wickedness, spirit of night and of day, of midday and of evening; spirit of midnight, spirit of phantasm, spirit of encounter, whether of the land, or of the water, whether in groves, or in reeds, or in ravines, or in 64.1068 thoroughfares and crossroads, in lakes, and in rivers, in houses, in courts, and in baths, running by and harming, and altering the mind of man.

Depart quickly from the creation of the creator Christ our God, and be removed from this servant of God, from his mind, from his soul, from his heart, from his kidneys, from his senses, from all his members, so that he may be healthy and whole, and free, acknowledging his own Master, and creator, the God of all, who gathers together the straying, and gives them the seal of salvation through the birth and renewal of holy baptism, that he may be deemed worthy of the immaculate,

Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ ἐκ τοῦ κόλπου τοῦ πατρικοῦ καταβὰς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ Θεὸς Λόγος, καὶ διὰ τῆς ἐκ Παρθένου ἁγίας προσκυνητῆς, ἀφράστου καὶ ἀχράντου σαρκώσεως ἀνεκλαλήτως φανεὶς ἐν τῷ 64.1065 κόσμῳ τοῦ σῶσαι αὐτὸν, καὶ τῇ αὐθεντικῇ αὑτοῦ δυνάμει ῥίψας σε οὐρανόθεν, καὶ ἀπόλυτον παντὶ δείξας. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ εἰπὼν τῇ θαλάσσῃ· Σιώπα, πεφίμωσο· καὶ τῷ κελεύσματι εὐθέως ἐκόπασεν. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ τῷ ἀχράντῳ πτυέλῳ πηλὸν ποιήσας, καὶ τὸ ἐλλεῖπον μέλος τῷ ἐκ γενετῆς τυφλῷ διαπλάσας, καὶ τὸ φῶς χαρισάμενος. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ τὴν θυγατέρα τοῦ ἀρχισυναγώγου λόγῳ ζωοποιήσας, καὶ τῆς χήρας τὸν υἱὸν ἐκ στόματος τοῦ θανάτου ἀφαρπάσας καὶ τῇ ἰδίᾳ μητρὶ ὁλόκληρον, καὶ ὑγιῆ αὐτὸν χαρισάμενος. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ τὸν Λάζαρον ἐκ νεκρῶν τετραήμερον ἄσηπτον ὡς μὴ θανόντα, καὶ ἄσπιλον, εἰς ἔκπληξιν τῶν πολλῶν παραστήσας. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ διὰ τοῦ ῥαπίσματος τὴν κατάραν καταργήσας, καὶ διὰ τῆς λόγχης τῆς ἀχράντου πλευρᾶς αὐτοῦ τὴν τὸν παράδεισον φυλάττουσαν φλογίνην ῥομφαίαν ἀναστείλας. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ διὰ τοῦ ἐμπτύσματος τοῦ τιμίου αὐτοῦ χαρακτῆρος πᾶν δάκρυον ἐκ παντὸς προσώπου ἐκμάξας. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ πήξας τὸν σταυρὸν εἰς στήριγμα ἓν καὶ σωτηρίαν κόσμου, εἰς πτῶσιν δὲ σὴν καὶ πάντων τῶν ὑπὸ σὲ ἀγγέλων. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ δοὺς φωνὴν ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ ἐσχίσθη, καὶ αἱ πέτραι διεῤῥάγησαν, καὶ τὰ μνημεῖα ἠνεῴχθησαν, καὶ οἱ ἀπ' αἰῶνος θανόντες ἀνέστησαν. Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ θανάτῳ θάνατον θανατώσας, καὶ ζωὴν τῇ ἐγέρσει αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις χαρισάμενος. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ καταβὰς εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, καὶ τὰ μνημεῖα αὐτοῦ ἐκτινάξας, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐν αὐτῷ κατεχομένους δεσμίους ἐλευθερώσας, καὶ πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ἀνακαλεσάμενος· ὃν οἱ πυλωροὶ ἰδόντες, ἔφριξαν, καὶ ἀγωνίᾳ τοῦ ᾅδου κρυβέντες ἐξέλιπον. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστὰς Χριστὸς ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν καὶ πᾶσι τὴν ἀνάστασιν αὐτοῦ χαρισάμενος. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ εἰς οὐρανοὺς ἐν δόξῃ ἀναληφθεὶς πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκ δεξιῶν τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐπὶ θρόνου δόξης καθήμενος. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ πάλιν ἐρχόμενος μετὰ δόξης ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ, κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὁ τὸ πῦρ τὸ ἄσβεστον, καὶ σκώληκα τὸν ἀκοίμητον, καὶ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον ἑτοιμάσας σοι εἰς αἰώνιον κόλασιν. Ἐπιτιμήσαι σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, ὃν πάντα φρίσσει καὶ τρέμει ἀπὸ προσώπου δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἄστεκτος ἡ ὀργὴ τῆς ἐπὶ σὲ ἀπειλῆς αὐτοῦ.

Αὐτὸς ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, διάβολε, διὰ τοῦ φοβεροῦ αὐτοῦ ὀνόματος· φρίξον, τρόμαξον, φοβήθητι, ἀναχώρησον, ἐξολοθρεύθητι, φυγαδεύθητι ὁ πεσὼν οὐρανόθεν, καὶ σὺν σοὶ πάντα τὰ πονηρὰ πνεύματα, πᾶν πνεῦμα πονηρὸν, πνεῦμα ἀσελγείας, πνεῦμα πονηρίας, πνεῦμα νυκτερινὸν καὶ ἡμερινὸν, μεσημβρινόν τε καὶ ἑσπερινόν· πνεῦμα μεσονυκτικὸν, πνεῦμα φανταστικὸν, πνεῦμα συναντικὸν, εἴτε χερσαῖον, εἴτε ἔνυδρον, εἴτε ἐν ἄλσοις, εἴτε ἐν καλάμοις, εἴτε ἐν φάραγξιν, εἴτε ἐν 64.1068 διόδοις καὶ τριόδοις, ἐν λίμναις, καὶ ἐν ποταμοῖς, ἐν οἴκοις, ἐν αὐλαῖς, καὶ ἐν βαλανείοις παρατρέχον καὶ βλάπτον, καὶ ἀλλοιοῦν τὸν νοῦν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου.

Συντόμως ἀναχωρήσατε ἀπὸ τοῦ πλάσματος τοῦ δημιουργοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἀπαλλάχθητε ἀπὸ τοῦ δούλου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦδε, ἀπὸ νοὸς, ἀπὸ τῆς ψυχῆς, ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας, ἀπὸ τῶν νεφρῶν, ἀπὸ τῶν αἰσθήσεων, ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν μελῶν, πρὸς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν ὑγιῆ καὶ ὁλόκληρον, καὶ ἐλεύθερον, ἐπιγινώσκοντα τὸν ἴδιον ∆εσπότην, καὶ δημιουργὸν τὸν ἁπάντων Θεὸν, τὸν ἐπισυνάγοντα τοὺς πεπλανημένους, καὶ διδόντα αὐτοῖς σφραγίδα σωτηρίας διὰ τῆς γεννήσεως καὶ ἀνακαινίσεως τοῦ θείου βαπτίσματος, εἰς τὸ καταξιωθῆναι αὐτὸν τῶν ἀχράντων,
