< 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].”
Paske sèt fanm va kenbe yon sèl gason nan jou sa a pou di l: “Nou va manje pwòp pen nou e mete pwòp rad nou. Sèlman, kite nou rele pa non ou. Souple retire wont nou an!”
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.
Nan jou sa a, branch SENYÈ a va bèl, plen ak glwa, e fwi tè a va fè yo leve tèt yo wo akoz bèlte a tout retay Israël yo.
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.
Li va rive ke sila ki rete Sion an ak sila yo ki rete Jérusalem nan va rele sen— tout moun ki anrejistre pou lavi Jérusalem yo
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.
lè Senyè a fin lave fè sòti tout salte fi a Sion yo, e pirifye Jérusalem de tout san vèse pou fè l sòti nan mitan li, pa lespri jistis ak lespri brile a.
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
SENYÈ la va fè sou tout landwa Mòn Sion, ak sou tout asanble li yo, yon nwaj pa jou, lafimen a menm, epi eklere ak yon flanm dife pandan nwit la, paske sou tout glwa la, va genyen yon kouvèti.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Va gen abri pou bay lonbraj kont chalè jounen an, e pou pwoteje kont tanpèt ak lapli.
