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].”
Gbe ma gbe la, nyɔnu adre aku ɖe ŋutsu ɖeka ŋu ahagblɔ be, “Míaɖu míawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu, eye míatso avɔ na mía ɖokuiwo. Na woayɔ wò ŋkɔ ɖe mía ŋu ko, nàɖe míaƒe ŋukpe ɖa.”
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.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ƒe Atilɔ anya kpɔ, eye ŋutikɔkɔe anɔ eŋu. Anyigba ƒe kutsetse anye dada kple ŋutikɔkɔe na ame siwo susɔ ɖe Israel.
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.
Ame siwo susɔ ɖe Zion, ame siwo tsi Yerusalem la, woayɔ wo be kɔkɔe, ame siwo katã ƒe ŋkɔ woŋlɔ ɖe agbagbeawo dome le Yerusalem.
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.
Aƒetɔ la aklɔ ɖiƒoƒo ɖa le Zion nyɔnuwo ŋu. Aklɔ ʋu si kɔ ɖe Yerusalem la ɖa kple nuteƒewɔwɔ ƒe gbɔgbɔ kple dzo ƒe gbɔgbɔ.
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
Ekema Yehowa ana lilikpo nado ɖe Zion to blibo la kple ame siwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe afi ma kple dzudzɔ la dzi le ŋkeke me, eye le zã me la, anye dzo bibi, eye ŋutikɔkɔe anye agbadɔ.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Woanye vɔvɔli na anyigba le ŋkeke me kple bebeƒe le tsidzadza kple ahomwo me.
