< 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 in that day, saving, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name; take thou 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.
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for them that are 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 he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living 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 purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
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 the LORD will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for over all the glory [shall be spread] a canopy.
6 Ɛbɛyɛ hintabea ne onwini wɔ awia anoden mu, na osu ne ahum mu nso, ɛbɛyɛ guankɔbea ne hintabea.
And there shall be a pavilion for a shadow in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain.
