Gushimisha · 12 verses
Yemw’ abahung’ Umukiza,
Ni nd’ ubirukana se
Ariko ni We Mushumba
Udushak’ intama ze
(All you who seek the Savior,)
(Am I the one rejecting Him)
(But He is the Shepherd)
(Who seeks us His sheep)
Nkuk’ umwunger’ ajy’ ashaka
Iyazimiye yose,
Uko ni ko Yesu yaje
Ngw adupfir’ intama ze
(Just as a woman goes searching)
(For her lost coin completely,)
(That's how Jesus came)
(To die for us His sheep)
Mudatiny’ ibyaha byanyu:
Amaraso ya Yesu,
Ayamenekeye twese;
Ni y’ abyeyura byose !
(Don't fear your sins:)
(The blood of Jesus,)
(Is sufficient for us all;)
(It washes away everything!)
Naho byaba byinshi bite,
Bikabaremera,
Umukiza wacu Yesu
Ntazabyibuk’ ukundi
(Even if they are many,)
(And they weigh you down,)
(Our Savior Jesus)
(Will not remember them again)
Yemw’ abifuz’ ubugingo
Butazashir’ iteka,
Ntimugir’ undi musanga:
Yes’ arabiteguye !
(All you who desire life)
(That will never end forever,)
(Don't have another place to find it:)
(Jesus has prepared it!)
Mwi gukund’ ibyaha byanyu
Kubirutisha Yesu,
Kuko byatumy’ adupfira,
Ngo tubane mw ijuru
(You must love your sins)
(More than Jesus,)
(Because they caused Him to die for us,)
(So we may dwell in heaven)
Muzahabw’ ibyiza byose
Yadusezeranije,
No kudapf’ iteka ryose:
Muze, mwe gucikanwa
(You will be given all good things)
(He promised us,)
(And to never die forever:)
(Come, you who are being called)
Ni Satani waduhumye:
Twabay’ ibiretwa bye
Noneho, turamucitse;
Twitaby’ Umucunguzi
(It's Satan who deceived us:)
(We were his slaves)
(Now, we have defeated him;)
(We trust in the Redeemer)
Yes’ Umwami yatubwiye
At’ Abaremerewe
N’ abarushye, muz’ aho ndi,
Mbaruhure byukuri !
(The Lord Jesus told us)
(That the heavy laden)
(And the weary, come to Me,)
(I will give you true rest!)
Mwami Yesu, sinz’ umunsi
Uzanjyana mw ijuru
Icyo nzi n’ ukuba maso,
Ng’ unsange niteguye !
(Lord Jesus, I don't know the day)
(You'll take me to heaven)
(What I know is to be watchful,)
(So You'll find me ready!)
Ubwo tuza, ger’ i Wawe,
Tuzanezerwa cyane,
Twicaranye niwe, Yesu,
Hamwe n’ abakijijwe
(When we come, stand before You,)
(We will be greatly pleased,)
(Sitting with You, Jesus,)
(Together with the saved ones)
Mwami Yesu, singitinze ;
Ubu, dore, nditabye
Nnejejwe n’ ubgami bgawe;
Tuzabane mw ijuru !
(Lord Jesus, I will not delay;)
(Now, behold, I have trusted)
(Satisfied with Your kingdom;)
(We will dwell together in heaven!)
