Rejoice, rejoice, for a new Day has dawned
The whole wide world is all one fold
Rejoice, rejoice, for a new Day has dawned
The plan of God has now been told
The Promised One by the name of Bahá
Came to bring a new Day
Let us be happy, let us say
Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá
Say Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá
Say Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá
 

Regocíjate, regocíjate,
ha llegado un Nuevo Día
Regocíjate, regocíjate,
Todos tenemos alegría
El Prometido de Dios con el Nombre de Bahá
Ha llegado con un Nuevo Día
Estamos felices y cantaremos todos
Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá
Di Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá
Di Yá Bahá’u’l-Abhá

Zulu
It's widely sung by Baha'is in Southern Africa.
I believe that Benjamin Dhlamini was (is?) on the NSA of Swaziland at one stage so I would have assumed that SiSwati (i.e. the Swazi language) was his mother tongue but that he would have known Zulu as his second or third language.
