Gushimisha · 5 verses

1.

Nkuko Mose yamanits’ inzoka ku giti,(As Moses lifted up the serpent on the pole,)

Abarembejwe bakayireba,(The bitten ones looked at it,)

Bagakir’ uburibge, bakaba bazima(And received medicine, and they lived)

Kubg’ imbabazi z’ Uwiteka,(Because of the mercy of the Lord,)

Ni ko na Yesu(So too Jesus)

Yatumanikiwe ku Musaraba kera:(Was lifted up on the Cross long ago:)

Tumurebe, tumwiringire(Let us look to Him, let us trust in Him)

2.

Mutim’ ushavuye, reb’ Uwagupfiriye;(Troubled heart, see the One who died for you;)

Reba Yesu wakumanikiwe !(See Jesus who was lifted up for you!)

Munyabyah’ umutumbir’ aragukiz’ ubu,(Desperate sinner, He saves you now,)

Umureb’ arakiza rwose !(If you look at Him, He saves completely!)

Reba, wizere !(Look, believe!)

Kubabarirwa kwawe kuv’ i Gologota:(Your forgiveness comes from Golgotha:)

Reba, reba ku Musaraba(Look, look to the Cross)

3.

N’ iki cyatumy’ Umwana w’ Iman’ ababazwa ?(What caused the Son of God to suffer?)

Umv’ icyatumy’ abambga ku giti,(Hear what caused Him to be nailed to the pole,)

Kand’ icyatumye yambikw’ ikamba ry’ amahwa:(And what caused Him to wear the crown of thorns:)

Ni kubgawe n’ ibyaha byawe !(It is because of you and your sins!)

Reba, wizere !(Look, believe!)

Dor’ urupfu n’ urwe, nahw imyandu n’ iyawe:(Behold, the death is His, the debt is yours:)

Reba, reba ku Musaraba(Look, look to the Cross)

4.

Naho warir’ ukicuz’ ukanababara,(Though you weep and cry and suffer,)

Ntibyarih’ ibicumuro byawe(That would not be your atonement)

Dor’ impongan’ ikwiriy’ ibyaha wakoze(Behold, only the blood of Jesus)

N’ amaraso ya Yesu masa(Can pay for the sins you committed)

Reba, wizere !(Look, believe!)

Wizer’ Uwakubambiw’ arakurokora:(Believe in the One crucified, He delivers you:)

Reba, reba ku Musaraba(Look, look to the Cross)

5.

Yagukirishije ya mibyimba yagize;(He achieved the suffering He endured;)

Ni na We gukiranuka kwawe(From Him also is your purity)

Yakubeshejeho, war’ uwo kurimbuka:(He accomplished it, you were the one to benefit:)

Wakir’ ubgo bugingw aguha(Receive that eternal gift He gives)

Reba, wizere !(Look, believe!)

Yes’ ubg’ atagipfa, tuzabanaho na we:(Jesus who no longer dies, we will live with Him:)

Reba, reba ku Musaraba(Look, look to the Cross)
