< 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 on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but 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.
On that day shall the sprout of the Lord be for ornament and for honor, and the fruit of the land for excellence and for glory for the escaped 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 come to pass, that whoever is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written down unto life in Jerusalem:
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.
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured away the blood-guiltiness of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of destruction.
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 then will the Lord create upon every dwelling of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, a cloud and smoke by day, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a covering.
6 Woanye vɔvɔli na anyigba le ŋkeke me kple bebeƒe le tsidzadza kple ahomwo me.
And a tabernacle shall it be for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from tempest and from rain.
