Isaiah 4
1 And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, 'Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou 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 is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped 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 And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, 'Holy' is said of him, Of every one who is written for life 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 If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, 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 Then hath Jehovah prepared 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 honour a safe-guard,
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 And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
Ulemerero wake udzakhala mthunzi wothawiramo kutentha kwa masana, udzakhala malo opeweramo mphepo ndi owusiramo mvula.
