< Esias 4 >
1 And seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let your name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.
Siku hiyo wanawake saba watamchukua mwanaume mmoja na kusema, ''Tutakula chakula chetu wenyewe, tutavaa nguo zetu wenyewe. lakini tunahitaji kuchukua jina lako ili tuondoe haibu zetu.''
2 And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
Na siku hiyo tawi zuri la Yahwe na utukufu, na matunda yatakuwa na ladha nzuri na kupendeza kwa wale wanaoishi Israeli.
3 And it shall be, [that] the remnant left in Sion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem, [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
Itatokea kwa yule aliyeachwa Sayuni na wale waliobakia Yerusalemu wataitwa watakatifu, yeyeto aliyeandikwa chini anaishi Yerusalemu.
4 For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and the spirit of burning.
Hii itatokea pale ambapo Bwana atasafisha uchafu wa mabinti wa Sayuni, na atasafisha madoa ya damu kutoka kati ya Yerusalemu, kwa namna ya roho ya hukumu na roho ya kuungua na moto.
5 And he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yes, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night: and upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Tena juu ya mlima wote wa Sayuni na mahali pakuksanyikia, Yahwe atafanya wingu na moshi kwa wakati wa mchana na moto unaong'a wakati wa usiku; na itakuwa dari juu ya utukufu wote.
6 And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
kutakuwa na kivuli kwenye makazi wakati mchana kuzuia jua, na kimbilio na mfuniko kutoka kwenye mawimbi na mvua.
