< Isaiah 12 >
1 At that time, you [people of Jerusalem] will sing [this song]: “Yahweh, we praise you! [Previously], you were angry with us, but you are not angry now and you have comforted us.
當那日,你要說:「上主!我稱頌你,因為你雖向我發了怒,但你的怒氣已止息,並且還安慰了我。
2 Amazingly, you [have come to] save us, [so] we will trust [in you] and not be afraid. Yahweh our God, you enable us to be strong; you are [the one about whom] we sing; you have rescued us [from our enemies].”
看哪!天主是我的救援,我依靠他,決不畏懼,因為上主是我的力量,是我的歌頌,他確是我的救援。
3 You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
你們要愉快地從救援的泉源裏汲水。」
4 At that time you [all] will say, “We should thank Yahweh! We should praise him [MTY]! We should tell [the people of all] the people-groups what he has done; we should enable them to know that he [MTY] is very great!
那一日,你要說:「你們應稱頌上主,呼號他的名!將他的作為宣告於萬民,稱述他的名是崇高的。
5 We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
請歌頌上主,因為他行了顯赫的事,這事應該遍傳天下。
6 You people of Jerusalem, shout joyfully to praise Yahweh, because he is the great Holy One whom we Israeli [people worship], and he lives among us!”
熙雍的居民,你們應歡呼高唱,因為以色列的聖者在你們中間是偉大的。」
