< Isaaya 4 >
1 Ekiseera ekyo bwe kirituuka abakazi musanvu balyekwata omusajja omu nga boogera nti, Tuyitibwenga erinnya lyo, otuggyeko ekivume. Tunenoonyezanga emmere yaffe era twenoonyeze n’ebyokwambala.
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 Ku lunaku luli ettabi lya Mukama Katonda liriba ddungi era lya kitiibwa, era n’ebibala by’ensi biryeyagaza nnyo Abayisirayiri abaasigalawo.
And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
3 Era buli alisigala mu Sayuuni na buli alisigala mu Yerusaalemi aliyitibwa mutukuvu, buli muntu alibalirwa mu balamu mu Yerusaalemi.
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 Mukama aliggyawo obutali butuukirivu bw’abakazi ba Sayuuni, era n’omwoyo ogusala ensonga n’omwoyo ogwokya, alisangulawo amatondo g’omusaayi mu Yerusaalemi.
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 Olwo Mukama Katonda atondewo ekire mu budde obw’emisana, n’omukka n’okumasaamasa ng’omuliro ogwaka ekiro ku kifo kyonna eky’olusozi Sayuuni ne ku bantu bonna abakuŋŋaaniddeko; kubanga ku byonna era wonna kunaaba kubikkiddwako ekitiibwa kya Katonda.
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 Era kiribeera ekibikka n’ekisiikirize ekiziyiza ebbugumu ly’emisana, era ekiddukiro omwewogomebwa kibuyaga n’enkuba.
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.
