Ezayi 4

1 Na mokolo wana, basi sambo bakokangama na mobali moko mpe bakoloba: « Tokomileisa biso moko mpe tokomilatisa biso moko; yo, ndima kaka ete tobengama na kombo na yo! Longola soni na biso! »

And seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let your name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.

2 Na mokolo wana, nkona ya Yawe ekokoma kitoko mpe nkembo, bongo mbuma ya mabele ekosala lokumu mpe nkembo, ya ndambo ya bana ya Isalaele oyo babiki.

And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.

3 Bato oyo bakotikala na Siona mpe ba-oyo bakovanda na Yelusalemi bakobengama basantu: bango nyonso oyo bakombo na bango ekomama kati na bato oyo batikali na bomoi na Yelusalemi.

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 Yawe akolongola botutu ya basi ya Siona, akopetola Yelusalemi oyo ekomaki mbindo na bilembo ya makila, na nzela ya molimo ya kosambisa mpe ya moto.

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 Boye, Yawe akokela na likolo ya ngomba mobimba ya Siona mpe na likolo ya bato oyo basanganaka kuna: lipata na tango ya moyi, mpe kongenga ya moto na tango ya butu. Bongo na likolo na nyonso, nkembo na Yawe ekozipa bango.

And he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yes, 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 Ekozala lokola ndako ya matiti oyo epesaka pio na tango ya molunge ya moyi makasi, ekimelo mpe ebombamelo na tango ya mopepe makasi mpe na tango ya mvula.

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.
