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.”

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 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.

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 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.

Wɔn a wɔaka wɔ Sion a wɔte Yerusalem no, wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn kronkron, wɔn a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din aka ateasefoɔ ho wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.

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.

Awurade bɛhohoro Sion mmaa ho fi; ɔde atemmuo honhom ne ogya honhom bɛpepa mogya nkekaawa a ɛwɔ Yerusalem.

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,

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 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!

Ɛbɛyɛ hintabea ne enwunu wɔ owibɔ ano den mu, na osutɔ ne ahum mu nso ɛbɛyɛ dwanekɔbea ne atɛeɛ.
