Isaaya 12

1 Ku lunaku olwo oligamba nti, “Nnaakwebazanga ayi Mukama Katonda; newaakubadde nga wansunguwalira, obusungu bwo bwaggwaawo era onzizizzaamu amaanyi.

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 Laba Katonda bwe bulokozi bwange; nzija kumwesiga era siritya; kubanga Mukama Katonda ge maanyi gange era lwe luyimba lwange, era afuuse obulokozi bwange.”

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 Munaasenanga n’essanyu amazzi okuva mu nzizi ez’obulokozi.

You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.

4 Era ku lunaku olwo mulyogera nti, “Mwebaze Mukama Katonda, mukoowoole erinnya lye, mubuulire ebikolwa bye mu mawanga, mwogere nti erinnya lye ligulumizibwe.

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 Mumuyimbire Mukama Katonda ettendo kubanga akoze eby’ettendo; muleke kino kimanyibwe mu mawanga gonna.

We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!

6 Leekaana n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka oyimbe n’essanyu ggwe omuntu w’omu Sayuuni, kubanga Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri ali wakati mu ggwe mukulu.”

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!”
