< 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. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our reproach.”
Tsiku limenelo akazi asanu ndi awiri adzagwira mwamuna mmodzi, nʼkunena kuti, “Ife tizidya chakudya chathuchathu, ndi kuvala zovala zathu; inu mungotilola kuti tidziyitanidwa ndi dzina lanu. Tichotseni manyazi aumbeta!”
2 In that day, the LORD’s branch will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and glory of the survivors of Israel.
Tsiku limenelo Nthambi ya Yehova idzakhala yokongola ndi yaulemerero, ndipo chipatso cha mʼdziko chidzakhala chonyaditsa ndi chopereka ulemerero kwa onse opulumuka mu Israeli.
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,
Iwo amene adzatsale mu Ziyoni, amene adzatsalire mu Yerusalemu, adzatchedwa oyera, onse amene mayina awo alembedwa pakati pa anthu amoyo okhala mu Yerusalemu.
4 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from within it, by the spirit of justice and by the spirit of burning.
Ambuye adzasambitsa akazi a Ziyoni ndi kuchotsa zonyansa zawo. Adzatsuka magazi amene anakhetsedwa mu Yerusalemu ndi mzimu wachiweruzo ndiponso mzimu wamoto.
5 The LORD 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.
Tsono Yehova adzayika mtambo wake pamwamba ponse pa phiri la Ziyoni, ndipo pa onse amene asonkhana masana padzakhala mtambo wa utsi ndipo usiku padzakhala malawi amoto. Pamwamba pa zonse padzakhala ulemerero wa Yehova.
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.
Ulemerero wake udzakhala mthunzi wothawiramo kutentha kwa masana, udzakhala malo opeweramo mphepo ndi owusiramo mvula.
