< Isaia 12 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkũgooca, Wee Jehova. O na gũtuĩka nĩwaandakarĩire-rĩ, nĩũnjehereirie marakara maku na ũkaahooreria.
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.
2 Ti-itherũ Mũrungu nĩwe ũhonokio wakwa; nĩwe ndĩrĩĩhokaga na ndigage gwĩtigĩra. Jehova, o we Jehova, nĩwe hinya wakwa na rwĩmbo rwakwa; nĩatuĩkĩte ũhonokio wakwa.”
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].”
3 Mũrĩtahaga maaĩ ithima-inĩ cia ũhonokio mũkenete.
You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 Mũthenya ũcio nĩmũkoiga atĩrĩ: “Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, kaĩrai rĩĩtwa rĩake; menyithaniai ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ũrĩa ekĩte, na mũhunjie muuge atĩ rĩĩtwa rĩake nĩ itũũgĩrie mũno.
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!
5 Inĩrai Jehova, nĩgũkorwo nĩekĩte maũndũ marĩ riiri; na mũtũme ũndũ ũcio ũmenywo nĩ thĩ yothe.
We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 Anĩrĩrai mũine mũrĩ na gĩkeno, inyuĩ andũ a Zayuni, nĩgũkorwo Ũrĩa Mũtheru wa Isiraeli, o ũcio ũrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu, nĩ mũnene mũno.”
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!”
