< 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].”
En ce jour-là, sept femmes saisiront un seul homme, et diront: Nous mangerons notre pain, et nous nous vêtirons de nos vêtements; seulement que nous portions ton nom; fais cesser notre opprobre!
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.
En ce jour-là, le germe de l'Éternel sera l'ornement et la gloire des réchappés d'Israël; le fruit de la terre sera leur orgueil et leur parure.
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.
Et ceux qui resteront de Sion, ceux qui seront demeurés de reste à Jérusalem, seront appelés saints, tous ceux de Jérusalem qui seront inscrits parmi les vivants,
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.
Quand le Seigneur aura lavé la souillure des filles de Sion, et enlevé le sang du milieu de Jérusalem, par l'esprit de justice et par l'esprit qui consume.
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
Et sur toute l'étendue du mont de Sion, et sur ses assemblées, l'Éternel créera un nuage et une fumée pendant le jour, et pendant la nuit l'éclat d'un feu flamboyant. Car toute gloire sera mise à couvert.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Et il y aura un abri, qui donnera de l'ombrage le jour contre la chaleur, qui servira de refuge et d'asile contre la tempête et la pluie.
