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 you have said in that day: “I thank you, O YHWH, Though You have been angry with me, Your anger turns back, And You comfort 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 trust, and do not fear, For my strength and song [is] YAH—YHWH, And He is to me for salvation.

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

And you have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains 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 you have said in that day, Give praise to YHWH, call on His Name. Make His acts known among the peoples. Make mention that His Name is set on high.

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

Praise YHWH, for He has done excellence, This is 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 sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For the Holy One of Israel [is] great in your midst!”
