U-Isaya 12

1 Ngalolosuku wena uzakuthi: “Ngizakubonga Oh Thixo. Lanxa wawungithukuthelele ulaka lwakho seluphelile, njalo usungiduduzile.

And in that day you shall say, I [will] bless you, O Lord; for you were angry with me, but you have turned aside your wrath, and have pitied me.

2 Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uyinsindiso yami; ngizathemba ngingesabi. UThixo, uThixo ngokwakhe ungamandla lengoma yami; usebe yinsindiso yami.”

Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation.

3 Ngentokozo uzakukha amanzi emithonjeni yensindiso.

Draw you therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation.

4 Ngalolosuku uzakuthi: “Mbongeni uThixo, bizani ibizo lakhe, zaziseni izizwe ngalokhu akwenzileyo, limemezele ukuthi ibizo lakhe liphakeme.

And in that day you shall say, sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious [deeds] amongst the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted.

5 Hlabelelani kuThixo, ngoba wenze izinto ezinhle kakhulu; lokhu kwenzeni kwazakale emhlabeni wonke.

Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great [things]: declare this in all the earth.

6 Memezani kakhulu lihlabele ngokuthokoza, bantu baseZiyoni, ngoba mkhulu oNgcwele ka-Israyeli phakathi kwenu.”

Exalt and rejoice, you that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.
