< Isaya 12 >
1 Katika siku ile utasema: “Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana. Ingawa ulinikasirikia, hasira yako imegeukia mbali nawe umenifariji.
And you have said in that day: “I thank you, O YHWH, Though You have been angry with me, Your anger turns back, And You comfort me.
2 Hakika Mungu ni wokovu wangu; nitamtumaini wala sitaogopa. Bwana, Bwana, ni nguvu zangu na wimbo wangu; amekuwa wokovu wangu.”
Behold, God [is] my salvation, I trust, and do not fear, For my strength and song [is] YAH—YHWH, And He is to me for salvation.
3 Kwa furaha mtachota maji kutoka visima vya wokovu.
And you have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,
4 Katika siku hiyo mtasema: “Mshukuruni Bwana, mliitie jina lake; julisheni miongoni mwa mataifa yale aliyoyafanya, tangazeni kuwa jina lake limetukuka.
And you have said in that day, Give praise to YHWH, call on His Name. Make His acts known among the peoples. Make mention that His Name is set on high.
5 Mwimbieni Bwana, kwa kuwa ametenda mambo makuu, hili na lijulikane duniani kote.
Praise YHWH, for He has done excellence, This is known in all the earth.
6 Pazeni sauti mwimbe kwa furaha, watu wa Sayuni, kwa maana mkuu ni yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli miongoni mwenu.”
Cry aloud, and sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For the Holy One of Israel [is] great in your midst!”
