< Yesaya 4 >
1 Gbe ma gbe la, nyɔnu adre aku ɖe ŋutsu ɖeka ŋu ahagblɔ be, “Míaɖu míawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu, eye míatso avɔ na mía ɖokuiwo. Na woayɔ wò ŋkɔ ɖe mía ŋu ko, nàɖe míaƒe ŋukpe ɖa.”
And seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let thy name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.
2 Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ƒe Atilɔ anya kpɔ, eye ŋutikɔkɔe anɔ eŋu. Anyigba ƒe kutsetse anye dada kple ŋutikɔkɔe na ame siwo susɔ ɖe Israel.
And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
3 Ame siwo susɔ ɖe Zion, ame siwo tsi Yerusalem la, woayɔ wo be kɔkɔe, ame siwo katã ƒe ŋkɔ woŋlɔ ɖe agbagbeawo dome le Yerusalem.
And it shall be, [that] the remnant left in Sion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem, [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.
4 Aƒetɔ la aklɔ ɖiƒoƒo ɖa le Zion nyɔnuwo ŋu. Aklɔ ʋu si kɔ ɖe Yerusalem la ɖa kple nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe gbɔgbɔ kple dzo ƒe gbɔgbɔ.
For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and the spirit of burning.
5 Ekema Yehowa ana lilikpo nado ɖe Zion to blibo la kple ame siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma kple dzudzɔ la dzi le ŋkeke me, eye le zã me la, anye dzo bibi, eye ŋutikɔkɔe anye agbadɔ.
And he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yea, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night: and upon all the glory shall be a defence.
6 Woanye vɔvɔli na anyigba le ŋkeke me kple bebeƒe le tsidzadza kple ahomwo me.
And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
