Translation of the song lyrics Baba Yetu - Christopher Tin, Soweto Gospel Choir

Baba Yetu (original)

CHORUS
Baba yetu, Yesu uliye
Mbinguni Yesu, Yesu, amina!
Baba yetu, Yesu, uliye
Kun jina lako e’litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu tunachohitaji
Utusamehe makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe waliotukosea
Usitutie katika majaribu
Lakini utuokoe, na yule, milele na milele!
CHORUS
Ufalme wako ufike
Utakalo lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni, Amina
CHORUS
Utupe leo chakula chetu tunachohitaji
Utusamehe makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe waliotukosea
Usitutie katika majaribu
Lakini utuokoe, na yule, simama mwehu
Baba yetu, Yesu, uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.

Baba Yetu (translation)

CHORUS
Our Father, Yesu, throned above
In heaven, Yesu, Yesu, amen!
Our Father, Yesu, throned above
Let Your name be hallowed into flame.
Grant us this day the bread our hunger seeks
Absolve our trespasses, ah, hear!
As we unbind the debts of those who wounded us
Do not cast us where temptations bloom
But draw us from the Evil One, forever and forever!
CHORUS
Let Your kingdom like dawn break forth
Let what You will be wrought on earth as in the heavens, Amen
CHORUS
Grant us this day the bread our hunger seeks
Absolve our trespasses, ah, hear!
As we unbind the debts of those who wounded us
Do not cast us where temptations bloom
But draw us from that dark one, rise, mad soul
Our Father, Yesu, throned above
Let Your name be hallowed.
