< 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.”
Seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread, and wear our own clothing: only let us be called by your name. 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.
In that day, Adonai’s branch will be beautiful and kavod ·weighty glorious·, and the fruit of the land will be the beauty and excellent for the survivors of Israel [God prevails].
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.
It will happen, that he who is left in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and he who remains in Jerusalem [City of peace], shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem [City of peace];
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 [Mountain ridge, Marking], and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem [City of peace] from within it, by the spirit of mishpat ·justice·, and by 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.
Adonai will create over the whole habitation of Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the kavod ·weighty glory· will be a canopy.
6 Woanye vɔvɔli na anyigba le ŋkeke me kple bebeƒe le tsidzadza kple ahomwo me.
There will be a sukkah ·temporary tent· for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge and for a shelter from storm and from rain.
