Isaia 4

1 Amy andro zay, ho fihine’ ty rakemba fito ty lahilahy, hanao ty hoe: Ty mahakama’ay avao ty ho kamae’ay, naho ty saro’ay avao ty hiombea’ay; fe angao ho tokaveñe ami’ty tahina’o zahay, hañafahañe ty hasalara’ay.

At that time seven women will grab hold of one man and tell him, “We'll eat our own food and we can provide our own clothes. Just let us take your name by being married to you. Please take away our disgrace!”

2 Ho fanjàka naho hanañ’engeñe ty tora-mionjo’ Iehovà amy andro zay, vaho ho fisengeañe naho volonahe’ ty nibotitsike am’Israele ty voka’ i taney.

But at that time, the “branch of the Lord” will be attractive and glorious; the fruit the land produces will be the pride and glory of the survivors who are left in Israel.

3 Ho tondroke te hatao miavake ze sehanga’e amy Tsione ao naho ze honka’e am’ Ierosalaime ao, eka, ze hene sinokitse ho veloñe e Ierosalaime ao,

Everyone who remains in Zion will be called holy—all of those who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem—

4 ie fa sinasa’ i Talè amo anak’ampela’ Israeleo ty haleora’e; naho fa nimongore’e ty lio’ Ierosalaime boak’ añ’ate’e ao ami’ty arofon-jaka naho ami’ty arofom-piforehetañe.

once the Lord has washed away the excrement of the daughters of Zion, and cleaned the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.

5 Le hanoe’ Iehovà ambone’ ze akiba ambohi’ i Tsione eo naho ambone’ o firimboña’eo ty rahoñe an-katoeñe te handro, vaho ty fireandreañ’ afo milebaleba te haleñe; le ho ey ty lafike ambone’ o engeñe iabio.

Then the Lord will create over the whole of Mount Zion and over the assembly of those who meet there a cloud of smoke during the day and a blazing flame of fire during night—over everything there will be this glorious canopy.

6 Le ho eo ka ty bandrabandra naho antoandro amy hatrevohañey, naho fipalirañe vaho fitampinañe ami’ty tio-bey naho amo orañeo.

It will provide a place to stay in the shade of the daytime heat, and a shelter to hide from storm and rain.
