< Isaiah 12 >
1 And in that day thou shalt say, O Yhwh, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
Siku hiyo utasema, ''Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe. Japo ulikuwa na hasira na mimi, laana yako imeondoka mbali, na umenifariji mimi,
2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for Yah Yhwh is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
Ona Bwana ni wokovu wangu; nitamwamini na sitakuwa na hofu, kwa Yahwe, ndio, Yahwe ni nguvu yangu na wimbo wangu. Amekuwa wokovu wangu.''
3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Kwa furaha utachota maji kwenye kisima cha wokovu.
4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise Yhwh, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
Siku hiyo utasema, ''Mshukuru Yahwe na ita jina lake; tangaza matendo yake miongoni mwa watu, tangaza jina lake limeinuliwa.
5 Sing unto Yhwh; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
Mwiimbie Yahwe, maana ametenda matendo yaliotukuka; acha hili lijulikane dunia nzima.
6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
Lia kwa nguvu na piga kelele kwa furaha, enyi wakazi wa Sayuni, maana katikati yenu ni mtakatifu wa Israeli.
