< Esias 12 >
1 And in that day you shall say, I [will] bless you, O Lord; for you were angry with me, but you have turned aside your wrath, and have pitied me.
Na mokolo wana, okoloba: « Oh Yawe, nazali kosanzola Yo, pamba te ata osilikelaki ngai, kanda na Yo elongwaki likolo na ngai mpe obondisaki ngai!
2 Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation.
Solo, Nzambe azali lobiko na ngai; nakotia elikya na ngai epai na Ye mpe nakobanga lisusu te. Nkolo Yawe azali makasi mpe nguya na ngai; azali lobiko na ngai. »
3 Draw you therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation.
Yango wana, botoka mayi na esengo na etima ya lobiko.
4 And in that day you shall say, sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious [deeds] amongst the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted.
Na mokolo wana bokoloba: « Bosanzola Yawe, bobelela Kombo na Ye, bosakola misala na Ye kati na bikolo mpe botatola ete Kombo na Ye ezali likolo na nyonso.
5 Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great [things]: declare this in all the earth.
Boyemba loyembo mpo na Yawe, pamba te asali makambo ya kokamwa. Tika ete mokili mobimba eyeba yango!
6 Exalt and rejoice, you that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.
Bino bato ya Siona, bobeta milolo mpe boyemba loyembo na esengo, pamba te Mosantu ya Isalaele azali monene kati na bino! »
