Agakiza · 5 verses
Pasaka yacu niy’ itwibutsa
Amaraso y’ Umwana w’ Imana
Ni yo yadukuye mw Egiputa,
Aho Satani yicir’ abantu
Nimuze twese tumuhimbaze
Kuko yemeye kudupfir’ atyo
Yasa tuyemo na rwa rusika
Yatumye natwe twinjir’ ahera
(Our Passover is what reminds us)
(Of the blood of the Son of God)
(It is what brought us out of Egypt,)
(Where Satan was killing people)
(Come, let us all praise Him)
(Because He agreed to die for us like that)
(He tore for us that veil)
(That allowed us to enter the holy place)
I Getsemani Yes’ arasenga Ati:
Data, niba byashoboka
Iki gikombe sinkinywereho
Ariko byose bib’ uk’ ushaka
(In Gethsemane Jesus prayed saying:)
(Father, if it is possible)
(Let this cup pass from me)
(But let everything be as You will)
Umwami Yesu n’ Umucunguzi
Yadupfiriye ku musaraba
Byavuye ku ki? Ku rukundo rwe
Rwatumy’ atanga ubugingo bge
(The Lord Jesus is the Redeemer)
(He died for us on the cross)
(Why? Because of His love)
(That made Him give His life)
Uwagambaniye Yesu Kristo
Kandi yar’ uwo mu bigishwa be
Nya mara yikururiy’ ishyano
Ryatumye yimanika ku giti
(The one who betrayed Jesus Christ)
(Was one of His disciples)
(But he brought trouble upon himself)
(Which made him hang himself on a tree)
Nuko kw isaha ya gatandatu
Hose habah’ ubwirakabiri
Bgafash’ amasah’ atatu yose,
Bgagejeje mw isaha ya cyenda
(So at the sixth hour)
(Everywhere became dark)
(Lasting for three hours,)
(Until the ninth hour)
