< Isaiah 4 >

1 Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach."
Labesifazana abayisikhombisa bazabamba indoda ibenye ngalolosuku, bathi: Sizakudla okwethu ukudla, sigqoke ezethu izigqoko; kuphela ibizo lakho kalibizwe phezu kwethu; susa ihlazo lethu.
2 In that day, YHWH's branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.
Ngalolosuku ihlumela leNkosi lizakuba ngelobuhle, njalo elodumo, lesithelo selizwe ngesokuhle kakhulu lokokubukeka kwabaphunyukileyo bakoIsrayeli.
3 It will happen, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem;
Kuzakuthi-ke oseleyo eZiyoni lotshiywe eJerusalema athiwe ungcwele, wonke obhalelwe impilo eJerusalema;
4 when YHWH shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.
iNkosi isigezisile ingcekeza yamadodakazi eZiyoni, yahlambulula amacala egazi eJerusalema phakathi kwayo, ngomoya wesahlulelo langomoya wokutshisa.
5 YHWH will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy.
LeNkosi izadala phezu kwayo yonke indawo yokuhlala yentaba yeZiyoni, laphezu kwenhlangano zayo ezibiziweyo, iyezi emini, lentuthu, lokukhanya komlilo olamalangabi ebusuku; ngoba phezu kwayo yonke inkazimulo kuzakuba lesembeso esiluphahla.
6 There will be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.
Njalo kuzakuba ledumba libe ngumthunzi emini ekutshiseni, njalo libe yisiphephelo, njalo libe yisivikelo esivunguvungwini lezulwini.
