< U-Isaya 12 >
1 Langalolosuku uzakuthi: Ngiyakubonga, Nkosi, lanxa wawungithukuthelele, ulaka lwakho seluphendukile, njalo ungiduduzile.
In that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You. Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You have comforted me.
2 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulusindiso lwami, ngizathemba ngingesabi; ngoba iNkosi uJehova ingamandla ami lengoma yami, isibe lusindiso lwami.
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.”
3 Ngakho ngentokozo lizakukha amanzi emithonjeni yosindiso.
With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation,
4 Lithi ngalolosuku: Bongani iNkosi, libize ibizo layo, lazise izenzo zayo phakathi kwezizwe, limemezele ukuthi ibizo layo liphakeme.
and on that day you will say: “Give praise to the LORD; proclaim His name! Make His works known among the peoples; declare that His name is exalted.
5 Hlabelelani eNkosini ngoba yenzile izinto ezinhle kakhulu; lokhu kakwaziwe emhlabeni wonke.
Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known in all the earth.
6 Memeza, uhlabele ngentokozo, mhlali weZiyoni, ngoba oNgcwele kaIsrayeli mkhulu phakathi kwakho.
Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”
