< Yesaia 4 >
1 Saa da no, mmea baason beso ɔbarima baako mu aka se, “Yɛbɛbɔ yɛn ho akɔnhama na yɛn ankasa apɛ yɛn adurade; ma wo din nna yɛn so kɛkɛ. Yi ahohora fi yɛn so!”
And seven women shall take hold of one man on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but away our reproach.
2 Saa da no Awurade Baa no bɛyɛ fɛ na anya anuonyam, na asase no so aba bɛyɛ ahohoahoa ne anuonyam ama Israel nkae no.
On that day shall the sprout of the Lord be for ornament and for honor, and the fruit of the land for excellence and for glory for the escaped of Israel.
3 Wɔn a wɔaka wɔ Sion, a wɔte Yerusalem no, wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn kronkron, wɔn a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din aka ateasefo ho wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written down unto life in Jerusalem:
4 Awurade bɛhohoro Sion mmea ho fi; ɔde atemmu honhom ne ogya honhom bɛpepa mogya nkekae a ɛwɔ Yerusalem.
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured away the blood-guiltiness of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of destruction.
5 Afei, Bepɔw Sion ne wɔn a wɔboa wɔn ano wɔ hɔ nyinaa, Awurade de wusiw mununkum bɛkata wɔn so awia, na ɔde ogya a ɛdɛw akata wɔn so anadwo; ntama kyinii bɛkata anuonyam yi nyinaa so.
And then will the Lord create upon every dwelling of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, a cloud and smoke by day, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a covering.
6 Ɛbɛyɛ hintabea ne onwini wɔ awia anoden mu, na osu ne ahum mu nso, ɛbɛyɛ guankɔbea ne hintabea.
And a tabernacle shall it be for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from tempest and from rain.
