< Isaiah 4 >
1 In that day shall seven women lay hold of one man saying: We will eat our own bread, And wear our own garments, Only let us be called by thy name, And take away 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 shall the increase of Jehovah be glorious and honorable, And the fruit of the land excellent and beautiful, For them that have 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 All that remain in Zion, And all that are left in Jerusalem, Shall be called holy; Every one that is written down for life in Jerusalem.
Wale watakaoachwa Sayuni, watakaobaki Yerusalemu, wataitwa watakatifu, wale wote ambao wameorodheshwa miongoni mwa walio hai huko Yerusalemu.
4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, And have removed the blood of Jerusalem from the midst of her, By a spirit of judgment and a spirit of destruction,
Bwana atausafisha uchafu wa wanawake wa Sayuni, atatakasa madoa ya damu kutoka Yerusalemu kwa Roho ya hukumu na Roho ya moto.
5 Then shall Jehovah create upon the whole extent of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, A cloud and smoke by day, And the brightness of a flaming fire by night; Yea, for all that is glorious there shall be a shelter;
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 There shall be a tent by day for a shadow from the heat, And for a refuge and shelter from the storm and rain.
Utakuwa sitara na kivuli kutokana na joto la mchana, na kuwa mahali pa kujificha kutokana na dhoruba na mvua.
