ʻIsaia 12

1 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te ke pehē, “ʻE Sihova, te u fakafetaʻi kiate koe: he neongo ne ke houhau, ka kuo ke fakafiemālieʻi au.

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 Vakai, ko e ʻOtua ko hoku fakamoʻui te u falala, ka e ʻikai manavahē: he ko e ʻEiki ko Sihova ko hoku mālohi ia mo ʻeku hiva; pea kuo hoko foki ia ko hoku fakamoʻui.”

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 Ko ia te mou ʻutu ʻae vai ʻi he fiefia mei he ngaahi matavai ʻoe moʻui.

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

4 Pea ʻi he ʻaho ko ia te mou pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ui ki hono huafa, fakahā ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, fakamatala kuo hiki hake hono huafa.

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 Hiva kia Sihova; he kuo ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻaupito: ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe māmani kotoa pē.

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

6 Kalanga pea mavava ʻi he fiefia, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi Saione: he ʻoku lahi ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻiate koe.”

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!”
