Isaya 4

1 Siku hiyo wanawake saba watamchukua mwanaume mmoja na kusema, ''Tutakula chakula chetu wenyewe, tutavaa nguo zetu wenyewe. lakini tunahitaji kuchukua jina lako ili tuondoe haibu zetu.''

In that day seven women will take hold of one man and say, “We will eat our own bread and provide our own clothes. Just let us be called by your name. Take away our disgrace!”

2 Na siku hiyo tawi zuri la Yahwe na utukufu, na matunda yatakuwa na ladha nzuri na kupendeza kwa wale wanaoishi Israeli.

On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel’s survivors.

3 Itatokea kwa yule aliyeachwa Sayuni na wale waliobakia Yerusalemu wataitwa watakatifu, yeyeto aliyeandikwa chini anaishi Yerusalemu.

Whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem will be called holy— all in Jerusalem who are recorded among the living—

4 Hii itatokea pale ambapo Bwana atasafisha uchafu wa mabinti wa Sayuni, na atasafisha madoa ya damu kutoka kati ya Yerusalemu, kwa namna ya roho ya hukumu na roho ya kuungua na moto.

when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire.

5 Tena juu ya mlima wote wa Sayuni na mahali pakuksanyikia, Yahwe atafanya wingu na moshi kwa wakati wa mchana na moto unaong'a wakati wa usiku; na itakuwa dari juu ya utukufu wote.

Then the LORD will create over all of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud of smoke by day and a glowing flame of fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a canopy,

6 kutakuwa na kivuli kwenye makazi wakati mchana kuzuia jua, na kimbilio na mfuniko kutoka kwenye mawimbi na mvua.

a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and the rain.
