down death by death
and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!

Pinglapese: Krais isada sang mehla
(Christ <is> risen from death)
kaluwehdiehr* mehla pwehki ah pwoula
(overcoming <in victory> death by His dying)
oh ketkiheng irail nan sousou mour.
Indeed/truly giving <to> those in <the> grave, life)
*(The word "kaluwehdiehr" is little used
in Pinglapese anymore because it has
been a long while since their chiefs
have gone to war.
"Kaluwehdiehr" is the word used to describe
a chief mounting up over the fallen bodies
of his enemies.)
