< Isaiah 12 >
1 And thou shalt say in that day: I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị ga-ekwu sị, “Aga m eto gị Onyenwe anyị. Ọ bụ ezie na ị wesara m iwe, ma ugbu a, iwe gị adajụọla; ị kasịkwara m obi.
2 Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: O because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.
Nʼezie, Chineke bụ onye nzọpụta m; aga m atụkwasị ya obi, ụjọ agaghị atụkwa m. Onyenwe anyị, Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya, bụ ike m bụrụkwa abụ m, ọ ghọrọla m onye nzọpụta.”
3 You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains:
Ị ga-eji ọṅụ dọrọ mmiri site nʼolulu mmiri nke nzọpụta.
4 And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị ga-ekwukwa sị, “Nyenụ Onyenwe anyị otuto, Kwupụtakwa aha ya; meenụ ka amata nʼetiti mba niile ihe niile ọ rụrụ; kwusaanụ na aha ya bu ihe e buliri elu.
5 Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.
Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ, nʼihi na o meela oke ihe dị ebube. Meekwanụ ka ụwa niile mara ihe ọ rụrụ.
6 Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.
Ka ndị niile bi na Zayọn tie mkpu ọṅụ, bụkwaa abụ. Nʼihi na Onye nsọ nke Izrel. dị ukwuu, e, ọ dị ike nke ukwuu, bụ Onye ahụ na-ebi nʼetiti unu.”
