< 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 A la la, e lalau aku no na wahine ehiku i ke kanaka hookahi, me ka olelo aku, E ai no makou i ka makou ai iho, A e komo no i ko makou lole; Ina e kapaia mai makou ma kou inoa, I mea e pau ai ko makou hoinoia.
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.
Ia la la, e puka mai ai ka Laia o Iehova, He hanohano, a he nani no hoi, E nani io no ka hua o ka aina, a me ka maikai, No ka poe i pakele o ka Iseraela.
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.
A o ka mea i koe ma Ziona, A o ka mea i waihoia ma Ierusalema, E kapaia oia he hemolele, O na mea a pau i kakau pu ia me ka poe e ola ana ma Ierusalema;
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.
A pau ka pelapela o na kaikamahine a Ziona i ka holoiia e ka Haku, A pau no hoi ke koko o Ierusalema i ka hemo, mai ona aku la, Ma ka mana o ka hoopono, A me ka mana o ke aa ana.
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
Alaila, na Iehova no e hana, Maluna o na wahi a pau o ka mauna Ziona, A maluna hoi o na aha halawai ona, I ao i ka la, a me ka uwahi, A i malamalama o ke ahi lapalapa i ka po; No ka mea, e kau mai no ka malu maluna o na mea nani a pau.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
He halelewa no e malu ai i ke ao, no ka wela, He puuhonua, a he wahi malu hoi, No ka ino, a me ka ua.
