Ee Bwana, wahimidiwa, unifundishe zilizo haki zako.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
Kusanyiko la Malaika lilistaajabu kukuona ukihesabiwa katika wafu na kuharibu nguvu ya kifo, Ee Mwokozi; ukafufua Adamu pamoja nawe, ukawapa uhuru mateka wote wa kuzimu. [[SWA]]
When the hosts of the Angels saw how You were accounted among the dead, they all marveled. You, O Savior, are the One who destroyed the might of death; and when You arose You raised Adam with yourself and from Hades liberated everyone. [SD]
Ee Bwana, wahimidiwa, unifundishe zilizo haki zako.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
Enyi binti wanafunzi, kwa nini mnachanganya machozi na manukato kwa huzuni? Malaika aliyemetameta kaburini aliwaambia wanawake walioleta manukato; tazameni kaburini na kufahamu kwamba mwokozi amefufuka shimoni.
“Why do you mingle the ointments with your tears full of pity, O women disciples?” Thus the Angel who was shining in the tomb cried to the myrrh-bearing women. “See for yourselves the empty tomb and understand, that the Savior has risen from the sepulcher.”
Ee Bwana, wahimidiwa, unifundishe zilizo haki zako.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
Alfajiri mapema wanawake walioleta manukato wakienda haraka kaburini pako, Ee Bwana, na kuomboleza. Lakini Malaika aliwajia na kuwaambia. Wakati wa maombolezo umekuisha, msilie; ila wapashe mitume habari ya Ufufuo.
Very early in the morning, the myrrh-bearing women were hastening to Your tomb lamenting. But the Angel appeared to them and uttered, “The time for lamentation has ended; weep no more. Go announce the Resurrection to the Apostles.”
Ee Bwana, wahimidiwa, unifundishe zilizo haki zako.
Blessed are You, O Lord, teach me Your statutes.
Wanawake walioleta manukato wakija nayo kaburini pako, Ee Mwokozi, walisikia Malaika akiwaambia kwa sauti ya nguvu; kwa nini mnadhani aliye hai katika wafu? Kwa kuwa ni Mungu amefufuka shimoni.
When the myrrh-bearing women had come with their spices to Your sepulcher, O Savior, they heard the voice of an Angel clearly speaking to them, “Why do you account among the dead the One who lives? For as God, He has risen from the sepulcher.”
Utukufu.

Giving birth to the Giver of life, O Virgin, you delivered Adam from sin, and to Eve you have rendered joy in place of sorrow. He who from you became incarnate, God and man, has directed to life him who fell from it.

Moses prefigured the Cross. * Lifting up the rod, he stretched out his hand and split the Sea for Israel to cross on land. * Then he stretched it out again, * and the sea returned and covered Pharaoh’s chariots. * The Cross was thus portrayed as our invincible armor. * So let us sing to the Lord, * Christ our God, for He is greatly glorified.

The rod of Aaron is seen as typifying the mystery; * for it budded, and thus was the priest selected. * Now in the Church, that was barren once, the Cross of Christ, like a tree, * has blossomed forth, * as power and a firm support. [GOASD]

Tree of the Cross, you are thrice-blessed, * for Jesus Christ, who is King and Lord, was crucified on you. * Through you fallen is the one who by a tree deceived us, * for he was lured by God who in the flesh indeed * was hung and nailed to you, * and who grants to our souls His peace. [GOASD]

In the belly of the sea beast * the prophet Jonah prayed with his arms extended crosswise; * thus he clearly prefigured the saving Passion of Christ. * When after three days he emerged, * he was depicting the supernal resurrection from the dead * of Christ God, who was physically nailed to the Cross * and by His third-day arising illumined the universe.

Ode vii.
The impious tyrant’s preposterous decree disturbed the populace, * breathing threats and blasphemous pronouncements hateful to God. * His brutal anger did not intimidate * the three Servants, nor did the consuming fire. * But when the dew-laden breeze whistled against the fire, they joined it and together sang, * “Blessed are You, O Lord. You are highly praised, O God, the God of our fathers.” [GOASD]

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Ee Mungu, unirehemu, sawasawa na fadhili zako. Kiasi cha wingi wa rehema zako, uyafute makosa yangu.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression.
Unioshe kabisa na uovu wangu, unitakase dhambi zangu.
Wash me thoroughly from my lawlessness and cleanse me from my sin.
Maana nimejua mimi makosa yangu, na dhambi yangu i mbele yangu daima.
For I know my lawlessness, and my sin is always before me.
Nimekutendea dhambi Wewe peke yako, na kufanya maovu mbele za macho yako. Wewe ujulikane kuwa una haki unenapo, na kuwa safi utoapo hukumu.
Against You only have I sinned and done evil in Your sight; that You may be justified in Your words, and overcome when You are judged.
Tazama, mimi naliumbwa katika hali ya uovu; mama yangu alinichukua mimba hatiani.
For behold, I was conceived in transgressions, and in sins my mother bore me.
Tazama, wapendezwa na kweli iliyo moyoni; nawe utanijulisha hekima kwa siri,
Behold, You love truth; You showed me the unknown and secret things of Your wisdom.
unisafishe kwa hisopo nami nitakuwa safi, unioshe, nami nitakuwa mweupe kuliko theluji.
You shall sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; You shall wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
Unifanye kusikia furaha na shangwe, mifupa uliyoiponda ifurahi.
You shall make me hear joy and gladness; my bones that were humbled shall greatly rejoice.
Usitiri uso wako usitazame dhambi zangu; uzifute hatia zangu zote.
Turn Your face from my sins, and blot out all my transgressions.
Ee Mungu, uniumbie moyo safi, uifanye upya roho iliyotulia ndani yangu.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Usinitenge na uso wako, wala roho yako mtakatifu usiniondolee.
Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Unirudishie furaha ya wokovu wako; unitegemeze kwa roho ya wepesi.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me with Your guiding Spirit.
Nitawafundisha wakosaji njia zako, na wenye dhambi watarejea kwako.
I will teach transgressors Your ways, and the ungodly shall turn back to You.
Ee MUNGU, Mungu wa wokovu wangu, uniponye na damu za watu, na ulimi wangu utaiiimba haki yako.
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation, and my tongue shall greatly rejoice in Your righteousness.
Ee Bwana, uifumbue midomo yangu, na kinywa changu kitazinena sifa zako.
O Lord, You shall open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise.
Maana hupendezwi na dhabihu au ningeitoa, Wewe huridhii sadaka ya kuteketezwa.
For if You desired sacrifice, I would give it; You will not be pleased with whole burnt offerings.
Dhabihu za Mungu ni roho iliyovunjika; moyo uliovunjika na kupondeka, Ee Mungu, hutaudharau.
A sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
Uitendee mema Sayuni kwa radhi yako, uzijenge kuta za Yerusalemu.
Do good, O Lord, in Your good pleasure to Zion, and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
Then You will be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, with offerings and whole burnt offerings.
Then shall they offer young bulls on Your altar. And have mercy on me, O God. [SAAS]
