< Isaiah 4 >
1 And seven women have taken hold on one man, In that day, saying, “We eat our own bread, And we put on our own raiment, Only, let your name be called over us, Remove our reproach.”
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 In that day is the Shoot of YHWH for desire and for glory, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of 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 And it has been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, “Holy” is said of him, Of everyone who is written for life in Jerusalem.
Wale watakaoachwa Sayuni, watakaobaki Yerusalemu, wataitwa watakatifu, wale wote ambao wameorodheshwa miongoni mwa walio hai huko Yerusalemu.
4 If the Lord has washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And purges the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Bwana atausafisha uchafu wa wanawake wa Sayuni, atatakasa madoa ya damu kutoka Yerusalemu kwa Roho ya hukumu na Roho ya moto.
5 Then YHWH has created Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That over all glory—a safeguard,
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 And a covering may be, For a shadow from drought by day, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
Utakuwa sitara na kivuli kutokana na joto la mchana, na kuwa mahali pa kujificha kutokana na dhoruba na mvua.
