< 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!”
Saa da no, mmea baason beso ɔbarima baako mu aka se, “Yɛbɛbɔ yɛn ho akɔnhama na yɛn ankasa apɛ yɛn adurade; ma wo din nna yɛn so kɛkɛ. Yi ahohora fi yɛn so!”
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.
Saa da no Awurade Baa no bɛyɛ fɛ na anya anuonyam, na asase no so aba bɛyɛ ahohoahoa ne anuonyam ama Israel nkae no.
3 Everyone who remains in Zion will be called holy—all of those who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem—
Wɔn a wɔaka wɔ Sion, a wɔte Yerusalem no, wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn kronkron, wɔn a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din aka ateasefo ho wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
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.
Awurade bɛhohoro Sion mmea ho fi; ɔde atemmu honhom ne ogya honhom bɛpepa mogya nkekae a ɛwɔ Yerusalem.
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.
Afei, Bepɔw Sion ne wɔn a wɔboa wɔn ano wɔ hɔ nyinaa, Awurade de wusiw mununkum bɛkata wɔn so awia, na ɔde ogya a ɛdɛw akata wɔn so anadwo; ntama kyinii bɛkata anuonyam yi nyinaa so.
6 It will provide a place to stay in the shade of the daytime heat, and a shelter to hide from storm and rain.
Ɛbɛyɛ hintabea ne onwini wɔ awia anoden mu, na osu ne ahum mu nso, ɛbɛyɛ guankɔbea ne hintabea.
