Ee Mwema, uliyezaliwa na Bikira kwa ajili yetu, na kuvumilia mateso ya msalaba, na ukanyauka mauti kwa mauti, na kuonyesha ufufuo kwa sababu u Mungu: Usiwaache hao ambao uliwaumba kwa mkono wako; Ee Mwenye rehema, uonyeshe upendo wako kwa wanadamu; na kumpokea Mzazi-Mungu aliyekuzaa ambaye anatuombea kwa Wewe; na uwaokoe hawa ambao hawana kimbilio, Ee Mwokozi wetu. [[SWA]]

You were born of a Virgin, and You endured crucifixion for us, O good Lord. By Your death You divested death of spoils, and You displayed resurrection, as God.

Looking up at the entrance to the sepulcher, then unable to endure the Angel’s radiance, the Myrrh-bearing Women were frightened; and perplexed they said, “Has He been stolen, who opened Paradise to the Robber? Has He arisen, who before His Passion announced His rising?” Indeed, Christ God has truly risen, granting life and resurrection to those in the netherworld. [GOASD]

By Your voluntary will, O Savior, You endured the Cross, * In a new tomb mortal men buried Your body, O Lord, * who by a word had created the universe. * Death, the ancient foe, was restrained by You * and forcefully deprived of the spoils it had. * And all the souls in Hades sang and glorified * Your resurrection, which gave them life, * “Christ the Giver of Life has risen! * And He abides forever!” [GOASD]

[[SWA]]

O Theotokos, revealed through you to us on earth was the mystery, that was hidden for ages and unknown by the angels. God became incarnate, uniting natures without confusion, and for us He voluntarily accepted crucifixion, through which He resurrected the first-formed man, and He saved our souls from death. [GOASD]

Sauti 5.

Mode pl. 1.

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.

Glory.

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.

We bow down in worship to the Father and His Son and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, one in essence; and we cry aloud with the Seraphim: Holy, Holy, Holy are You, O Lord.

Sasa.

Both now.

Ee Bikira, ukimzaa Mpaji wa uhai, ulimkomboa Adamu na dhambi; na ulimpa Eva furaha badala ya huzuni; na aliyepata mwili nawe, ndiye Mungu na binadamu, amewarudisha katika uzima wale waliouangukia.

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.

John. 21:1 – 14

At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas, called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach, yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there with fish lying on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. [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.

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.
