< Yesaia 4 >
1 Saa ɛda no, mmaa baason bɛsɔ ɔbarima baako mu aka sɛ, “Yɛbɛbɔ yɛn ho akɔnhoma na yɛn ankasa apɛ yɛn aduradeɛ; ma wo din nna yɛn so kɛkɛ. Yi ahohora firi yɛn so!”
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
2 Saa ɛda no Awurade Baa no bɛyɛ fɛ na anya animuonyam, na asase no so aba bɛyɛ ahohoahoa ne animuonyam ama Israel nkaeɛfoɔ no.
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for them that have escaped of Israel.
3 Wɔn a wɔaka wɔ Sion a wɔte Yerusalem no, wɔbɛfrɛ wɔn kronkron, wɔn a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din aka ateasefoɔ 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 mmaa ho fi; ɔde atemmuo honhom ne ogya honhom bɛpepa mogya nkekaawa 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 of it by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 Afei, Bepɔ Sion ne wɔn a wɔboa wɔn ano wɔ hɔ nyinaa, Awurade de wisie omununkum bɛkata wɔn so awia, na ɔde ogya dɛreɛ akata wɔn so anadwo; ntoma kyiniiɛ bɛkata animuonyam yi nyinaa so.
And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defense.
6 Ɛbɛyɛ hintabea ne enwunu wɔ owibɔ ano den mu, na osutɔ ne ahum mu nso ɛbɛyɛ dwanekɔbea ne atɛeɛ.
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shade in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
