29. BAKAKUMBA BAPEMPWILE

"While Shepherds watched their flocks by night"

1. Bakakumba bapempwile

Mpanga ubushiku;

Umungeli aikile,

'Lulumbi lwa mulu.

2. "Mwilatina," asoseshe

Abali no mwenso,

"Namuletels fye bonse

"Ilandwe lya nseko."

3. "Mu mushi wa kwa Dabidi,

"Afyalilwe lelo,

"Mfumu Kristu, Mupusushi:

"E bulangililo;"

4. "Mwana munono wa mumulu Mulemusangamo;

Alemoneka ku bantu,

Ali mu mukondo."

5. Efyo wa sosa wa ntanshi,

Elyo lyamoneka,

Ibumba lya bangeli,

Balumbanye Lesa:

6. "Ululumbi kuli Lesa,

Mutende mu calo,

Fya busuma fyatendeka

Nomba no kupwa yo."
