< Isaiah 4 >

1 At that time seven women will grab hold of one man and tell him, “We'll eat our own food and we can provide our own clothes. Just let us take your name by being married to you. Please take away our disgrace!”
Katika siku ile wanawake saba watamshika mwanaume mmoja wakisema, “Tutakula chakula chetu wenyewe na kuvaa nguo zetu wenyewe, ila wewe uturuhusu tu tuitwe kwa jina lako. Utuondolee aibu yetu!”
2 But at that time, the “branch of the Lord” will be attractive and glorious; the fruit the land produces will be the pride and glory of the survivors who are left in Israel.
Katika siku ile Tawi la Bwana litakuwa zuri na lenye utukufu, nalo tunda la nchi litakuwa fahari na utukufu wa wale Waisraeli watakaonusurika.
3 Everyone who remains in Zion will be called holy—all of those who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem—
Wale watakaoachwa Sayuni, watakaobaki Yerusalemu, wataitwa watakatifu, wale wote ambao wameorodheshwa miongoni mwa walio hai huko Yerusalemu.
4 once the Lord has washed away the excrement of the daughters of Zion, and cleaned the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.
Bwana atausafisha uchafu wa wanawake wa Sayuni, atatakasa madoa ya damu kutoka Yerusalemu kwa Roho ya hukumu na Roho ya moto.
5 Then the Lord will create over the whole of Mount Zion and over the assembly of those who meet there a cloud of smoke during the day and a blazing flame of fire during night—over everything there will be this glorious canopy.
Kisha Bwana ataumba juu ya Mlima wote wa Sayuni, na juu ya wale wote wanaokusanyika hapo, wingu la moshi wakati wa mchana, na kungʼaa kwa miali ya moto wakati wa usiku, nako juu ya huo utukufu wote kutatanda kifuniko cha ulinzi.
6 It will provide a place to stay in the shade of the daytime heat, and a shelter to hide from storm and rain.
Utakuwa sitara na kivuli kutokana na joto la mchana, na kuwa mahali pa kujificha kutokana na dhoruba na mvua.
