1 Një natë, kur ca barinj të thjesht’
Mbi tufat bënin rojë,
Një engjëll u afrua dhe
Lavdia i rrethoi.

2 "Mos kini frikë!" tha ai, se u
Tmerruan shumë ata.
"Një lajm të mirë dhe g’zim të madh
Ju sjell për botën mbarë."

3 Për ju u lind një shpëtimtar
I squar në Bethlehem:
Jezusi, Zoti Perëndi,
Tek ju si foshnjë vjen.

4 K’të shenj’ unë do t’ju jap: ai gjindet
Në një stall’ të vrazhd’,
Me rripa stofi të mbështjell’,
I shrirë në një grazhd.

5 At’herë bashk’ me engjëllin
U dukën, plot gëzim,
Shumica engjëjsh që e
Lavdëronin Perëndinë.

6 Lavdi në më të lartin qiell
Dhe paqja qoft’ mbi dhe,
Shpëtimi dhe pajtimi sot
Të gjithë njerëzve.

Author: Nahum Tate

Nahum Tate was born in Dublin and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1672.

Although he collaborated with Dryden on several occasions, he was never fully in step with the intellectual life of his times, and spent most of his life in a futile pursuit of popular favor. Nonetheless, he was appointed poet laureate in 1692 and royal historiographer in 1702. He is now known only for the New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696, which he produced in collaboration with Nicholas Brady. Poverty stricken throughout much of his life, he died in the Mint at Southwark, where he had taken refuge from his creditors… Go to person page >

Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England, 1634) from a melody in Christopher Tye's Acts of the Apostles and published in T. Este's The Whole Book of Psalmes (1592) set to Psalm 84. Ki…
