O Theotokos, revealed through you to us on earth was the mystery, that was hidden for ages and unknown by the angels.

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.

Tunamsujudu Baba, na Mwana wake, na Roho Mtakatifu; Utatu Mtakatifu, asili moja, tukipaza sauti pamoja na Waserafi na kusema: Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu, Wewe Ee Bwana.

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.

Luke. 24:36 – 53

At that time, Jesus, having risen from the dead, stood in the midst of his disciples and said to them, “Peace to you!” But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of broiled fish and some honeycomb, and he took it and ate before them. Then he said to them, “These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city of Jerusalem, until you are clothed with power from on high.” Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and they returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. [RSV]

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.

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.

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]

Utukufu.

Glory.

Verse: Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy; and according to the abundance of Your compassion, blot out my transgression.

Kristo amefufuka toka kaburini kama alivyosema na ametugawia uzima wa milele na huruma kubwa. [[SWA]]

Jesus, having risen from the grave as He foretold, has granted us eternal life and great mercy. [SD]
