Ezayi 12

1 Na mokolo wana, okoloba: « Oh Yawe, nazali kosanzola Yo, pamba te ata osilikelaki ngai, kanda na Yo elongwaki likolo na ngai mpe obondisaki ngai!

And in that day thou shalt say: 'I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD; for though Thou was angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortest me.

2 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. »

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for GOD the LORD is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.'

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

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

4 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.

And in that day shall ye say: 'Give thanks unto the LORD, proclaim His name, declare His doings among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted.

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

Sing unto the LORD; for He hath done gloriously; this is made known in all the earth.

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

Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.'
