< Isaya 12 >
1 Siku hiyo utasema, ''Nitakushukuru wewe, Yahwe. Japo ulikuwa na hasira na mimi, laana yako imeondoka mbali, na umenifariji mimi,
And thou shalt say in that day: I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me.
2 Ona Bwana ni wokovu wangu; nitamwamini na sitakuwa na hofu, kwa Yahwe, ndio, Yahwe ni nguvu yangu na wimbo wangu. Amekuwa wokovu wangu.''
Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: O because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.
3 Kwa furaha utachota maji kwenye kisima cha wokovu.
You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains:
4 Siku hiyo utasema, ''Mshukuru Yahwe na ita jina lake; tangaza matendo yake miongoni mwa watu, tangaza jina lake limeinuliwa.
And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.
5 Mwiimbie Yahwe, maana ametenda matendo yaliotukuka; acha hili lijulikane dunia nzima.
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.
6 Lia kwa nguvu na piga kelele kwa furaha, enyi wakazi wa Sayuni, maana katikati yenu ni mtakatifu wa Israeli.
Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.
