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!

In that day shalt thou say, “I will praise thee, O Jehovah, for, though thou hast been 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 Jehovah is my glory, and my song; It is he who was my salvation.”

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

Ye shall draw waters with joy from 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 in that day ye shall say, “Give thanks to Jehovah; call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people; Give praises, for his name is exalted!

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

Sing to Jehovah, for he hath done glorious things; Be this 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, shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee!”
