Gushimisha · 4 verses
Nezerwa cyane, wa si we;
Araje Shobuja !
Mwa bayibamo mwese mwe,
Musangwe mwinonosoye,
Nimumukingurire,
Mumwakir’ abiharire;
Kand’ ibyaremwe byose bimuhimbaze !
(Greatly blessed, the whole world;)
(The Master has come!)
(All you who dwell here,)
(Though you find yourselves impoverished,)
(Open your hearts to Him,)
(Welcome Him who has prepared;)
(And let all creation praise Him!)
Nezerwa cyane, wa si we,
Ko yimy’ ingoma ye !
Mwa bantu mwe, twishimane,
Tunezerwe bihebuje
Namwe, bamarayika,
Turirimban’ ishimwe rye
Namwe misozi mwese, nimurangire !
(Greatly blessed, the whole world,)
(For He has established His kingdom!)
(People, let us rejoice,)
(Let us be exceedingly glad)
(You also, angels,)
(Let us sing His praise)
(You mountains all, shout aloud!)
Non’ ibitovu n’ amahwa
Nimubirimbure !
Twanizwe n’ ibicumuro
N’ intimba byatumezemo
Yes’ araturengera
Ngw abirandure muri twe,
Wa muvum’ awusimbuz’ umugisha we
(Now the valleys and hills)
(Sing them out!)
(We were lost by transgressions)
(And debts that brought us down)
(Jesus watches over us)
(To reveal them in us,)
(That preacher who proclaims His blessing)
Yazanywe no kuganz’ isi,
Ngo twes’ atwereke
Ishimwe n’ icyubahiro
Bituruka mu kwera kwe
No mu rukund’ afite,
Urw’ akund’ abacumuye
Tumuhimbaze: n’ Umukiz’ utangaje !
(He was sent to rule the earth,)
(That we might show)
(Glory and honor)
(That comes from His holiness)
(And from the love He has,)
(The love He has for the offended)
(Let us praise Him: He is the wonderful Savior!)
