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.

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, 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.

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 You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains:

Yango wana, botoka mayi na esengo na etima ya lobiko.

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.

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 ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.

Boyemba loyembo mpo na Yawe, pamba te asali makambo ya kokamwa. Tika ete mokili mobimba eyeba yango!

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.

Bino bato ya Siona, bobeta milolo mpe boyemba loyembo na esengo, pamba te Mosantu ya Isalaele azali monene kati na bino! »
