< U-Isaya 12 >
1 Langalolosuku uzakuthi: Ngiyakubonga, Nkosi, lanxa wawungithukuthelele, ulaka lwakho seluphendukile, njalo ungiduduzile.
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 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulusindiso lwami, ngizathemba ngingesabi; ngoba iNkosi uJehova ingamandla ami lengoma yami, isibe lusindiso lwami.
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 Ngakho ngentokozo lizakukha amanzi emithonjeni yosindiso.
You(pl), [his people], will greatly enjoy being saved like [MET] you enjoy drinking water from a fountain.
4 Lithi ngalolosuku: Bongani iNkosi, libize ibizo layo, lazise izenzo zayo phakathi kwezizwe, limemezele ukuthi ibizo layo liphakeme.
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 Hlabelelani eNkosini ngoba yenzile izinto ezinhle kakhulu; lokhu kakwaziwe emhlabeni wonke.
We should sing to Yahweh, because he has done wonderful things. We should enable everyone in the world to know it!
6 Memeza, uhlabele ngentokozo, mhlali weZiyoni, ngoba oNgcwele kaIsrayeli mkhulu phakathi kwakho.
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!”
