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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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.
