Swahili Orthodox Chants & Teachings

Ili kwa nia moja tuungame: Baba, Mwana na Roho Mtakatifu; Utatu wa asili moja, na asiyetengana.

Swahili Troparion of the Epiphany (Jan 6)



#Apolytikion #Epiphany #Mode1 #Swahili

SWAHILI:
Katika Yordani ulipobatizwa Bwana,
kusujudiwa kwa Utatu kulidhibitika;
kwa kuwa sauti ya Baba mzaa ilikushahidi,
Mwana mpendwa ikakutaja.
Tena Roho kwa namna ya njiwa,
alihakikisha ukweli wa msemo.
Ulionekana Kristo Mungu,
na kuumulikia ulimwengu,
Utukufu Kwako.

KIKUYU:
Rīrīa Mwathani wabatithagio thīinī wa Jordani,
kūinamīrīrwo gwa Utatū nīkuonekanire;
tondū mūgambo wa Ngai Ithe nīwakumbūrire,
ūgīgwīta Mwana mwende.
Ningī Roho ahaana ta ndutura,
nīekīrire ūira wa uuge ūcio.
Nīwoonirwo ūi Kristo Ngai,
na ūgīcangararīra thī,
Urokumio Wee.

ENGLISH:
Lord, when You were baptized in the Jordan, the veneration of the Trinity was revealed. For the voice of the Father gave witness to You, calling You Beloved, and the Spirit, in the guise of a dove, confirmed the certainty of His words. Glory to You, Christ our God, who appeared and enlightened the world.

ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΆ:
Ἐν Ἰορδάνῃ βαπτιζομένου σου Κύριε, ἡ τῆς Τριάδος ἐφανερώθη προσκύνησις, τοῦ γὰρ Γεννήτορος ἡ φωνὴ προσεμαρτύρει σοί, ἀγαπητὸν σὲ Υἱὸν ὀνομάζουσα, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα ἐν εἴδει περιστεράς, ἐβεβαίου τοῦ λόγου τὸ ἀσφαλές. Ὁ ἐπιφανεῖς Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, καὶ τὸν κόσμον φωτίσας δόξα σοί.
