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 ɛda no, mmaa baason bɛsɔ ɔbarima baako mu aka sɛ, “Yɛbɛbɔ yɛn ho akɔnhoma na yɛn ankasa apɛ yɛn aduradeɛ; ma wo din nna yɛn so kɛkɛ. Yi ahohora firi 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 ɛda no Awurade Baa no bɛyɛ fɛ na anya animuonyam, na asase no so aba bɛyɛ ahohoahoa ne animuonyam ama Israel nkaeɛfoɔ 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 wɔatwerɛ wɔn din aka ateasefoɔ 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 mmaa ho fi; ɔde atemmuo honhom ne ogya honhom bɛpepa mogya nkekaawa 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, Bepɔ Sion ne wɔn a wɔboa wɔn ano wɔ hɔ nyinaa, Awurade de wisie omununkum bɛkata wɔn so awia, na ɔde ogya dɛreɛ akata wɔn so anadwo; ntoma kyiniiɛ bɛkata animuonyam 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 enwunu wɔ owibɔ ano den mu, na osutɔ ne ahum mu nso ɛbɛyɛ dwanekɔbea ne atɛeɛ.
