Esaias 12
1And in that day you shall say, I will bless you, O Lord; for you were angry with me, but you have turned aside your wrath, and have pitied me.Καὶ ἐρεῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, Εὐλογῶ σε, Κύριε, διότι ὠργίσθης μοι, καὶ ἀπέστρεψας τὸν θυμόν σου, καὶ ἠλέησάς με.
2Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation.Ἰδοὺ ὁ Θεός μου σωτήρ μου, πεποιθὼς ἔσομαι ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσομαι· διότι ἡ δόξα μου καὶ ἡ αἴνεσίς μου Κύριος, καὶ ἐγένετό μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν.
3Draw you therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation.Καὶ ἀντλήσατε ὕδωρ μετʼ εὐφροσύνης ἐκ τῶν πηγῶν τοῦ σωτηρίου.
4And in that day you shall say, sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious deeds among the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted.Καὶ ἐρεῖς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ὑμνεῖτε Κύριον, βοᾶτε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ἀναγγείλατε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτοῦ· μιμνήσκεσθε, ὅτι ὑψώθη τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ.
5Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great things: declare this in all the earth.Ὑμνήσατε τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου, ὅτι ὑψηλὰ ἐποίησεν· ἀναγγείλατε ταῦτα ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
6Exalt and rejoice, you that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst * of her.Ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, καὶ εὐφραίνεσθε οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σιὼν, ὅτι ὑψώθη ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.
