< 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].”
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị ikom ole na ole ga-afọdụ ndụ. Nke a ga-eme ka ndị inyom asaa na-azọ otu nwoke. Ha ga-abịakwute ya sị ya “Kwere ka anyị niile bụrụ ndị nwunye gị! Anyị ga-akpara onwe anyị nri, zụọra onwe anyị akwa. Naanị kwere ka anyị na-aza aha gị, ka a ghara ịkọ anyị ọnụ.”
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.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka Alaka Onyenwe anyị mabiga mma oke, ma nwekwa ebube dị ukwuu. Ndị fọdụrụ ndụ nʼIzrel ga-enweta ihe ubi ga-enye ha ọṅụ, na nke ga-ewetara ha obi nganga na mmụọ ịnya isi.
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.
Ndị ahapụrụ na Zayọn, ndị nọ na Jerusalem ka a ga-akpọ ndị dị nsọ, bụ ndị ahụ niile e dere aha ha nʼetiti ndị bi nʼime Jerusalem.
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.
Onyenwe anyị ga-asachapụ unyi niile nke ndị inyom Zayọn, ọ ga-asachapụkwa ọbara niile dị na Jerusalem site na mmụọ nke ikpe, na mmụọ nke ọkụ.
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
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị ga-ewuru ugwu Zayọn niile na ndị niile zukọrọ nʼebe ahụ ndo ga-ekpuchi ha niile. Ihe ọ ga-eji mee ndo a bụ igwe ojii na anwụrụ ọkụ nke ga-adịrị ha nʼehihie, na ọkụ na-enwu enwu, nke ga-adịrị ha nʼabalị. Ebube ahụ ga-abụ ihe mkpuchi nye ha.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Ọ ga-abụrụ ha ebe mgbaba na ndo ime ka okpomọkụ nke ehihie hapụ ịchagbu ha. Ọ ga-abụkwara ha ebe izere ndụ, na ebe nzuzo pụọ nʼoke ifufe na mmiri.
