Isaiah 4

1 When that happens, [there will be very few unmarried men still alive]. [As a result], seven [unmarried] women will grab one man, and say, “Allow us [all] to marry you [IDM]! We will provide our own food and clothing. All that we want is to no longer be disgraced [because of not being married].”

I sedam će se žena jagmiti za jednoga čovjeka - u dan onaj: “Svoj ćemo kruh jesti,” reći će, “i u halje se svoje oblačiti, daj nam samo da tvoje nosimo ime, skini sa nas svu sramotu našu.”

2 [But] some day, Israel [MTY] will be [very] beautiful and great/glorious. The people of Israel who will still be there will be very proud of the wonderful fruit that grows in their land.

U onaj će dan izdanak Jahvin biti na diku i na slavu, a plod zemlje na ponos i ures spašenima u Izraelu.

3 All the people who will remain in Jerusalem, who were not killed when Jerusalem was destroyed, whose names are listed among those who live there, will be [called] holy.

Koji ostanu na Sionu i prežive u Jeruzalemu, zvat će se “sveti” i bit će upisani da u Jeruzalemu žive.

4 [That will happen when] Yahweh washes away the guilt of the women of Jerusalem, and when he stops the violence [MET] [on the streets of Jerusalem] by punishing [the people of Jerusalem]. When he does that, it will be like a fire to burn up all the impure things.

Kad Gospod spere ljagu kćeri sionskih i obriše s Jeruzalema krv prolivenu dahom suda i dahom što spaljuje,

5 Then Yahweh will send a cloud of smoke every day and a flaming fire every night to cover Jerusalem and [all] those who gather there; it will be [like] a glorious canopy over the city

sazdat će Jahve nad svom Gorom sionskom i nad svima što ondje budu zborovali oblak s dimom danju, a noću sjaj ognja žarkoga. Jer, vrh svega Slava će biti zaklon

6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.

i sjenica da zasjenjuje danju od pripeke, štit i utočište od pljuska i oluje.
