Isaya 12

1 Katika siku ile utasema: “Nitakusifu wewe, Ee Bwana. Ingawa ulinikasirikia, hasira yako imegeukia mbali nawe umenifariji.

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 Hakika Mungu ni wokovu wangu; nitamtumaini wala sitaogopa. Bwana, Bwana, ni nguvu zangu na wimbo wangu; amekuwa wokovu wangu.”

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 Kwa furaha mtachota maji kutoka visima vya wokovu.

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

4 Katika siku hiyo mtasema: “Mshukuruni Bwana, mliitie jina lake; julisheni miongoni mwa mataifa yale aliyoyafanya, tangazeni kuwa jina lake limetukuka.

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 Mwimbieni Bwana, kwa kuwa ametenda mambo makuu, hili na lijulikane duniani kote.

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

6 Pazeni sauti mwimbe kwa furaha, watu wa Sayuni, kwa maana mkuu ni yeye Aliye Mtakatifu wa Israeli miongoni mwenu.”

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!”
