In Swahili, or English, or in any other language, this is the message upon which all of our hope and joy rests:

“Kwa maana kwa ajili yetu mtoto amezaliwa, tumepewa mtoto mwanamume, nao utawala utakuwa mabegani mwake. Naye ataitwa Mshauri wa Ajabu, Mungu Mwenye Nguvu, Baba wa Milele, Mfalme wa Amani.”
‭‭(Isaya‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭NEN‬‬)
“For a child has been born for us,a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is namedWonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

(Isaiah 9:6 | NRSV)
