Resurrectional Evlogetaria.

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.

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. 21:14 – 25

At that time, Jesus revealed himself to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. And he said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.” (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, “Follow me.” Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom Jesus loved, who had lain close to his breast at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?” When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? Follow me!” The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who is bearing witness to these things, and who has written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. 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.

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.
