< 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].”
Ekiseera ekyo bwe kirituuka abakazi musanvu balyekwata omusajja omu nga boogera nti, Tuyitibwenga erinnya lyo, otuggyeko ekivume. Tunenoonyezanga emmere yaffe era twenoonyeze n’ebyokwambala.
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.
Ku lunaku luli ettabi lya Mukama Katonda liriba ddungi era lya kitiibwa, era n’ebibala by’ensi biryeyagaza nnyo Abayisirayiri abaasigalawo.
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.
Era buli alisigala mu Sayuuni na buli alisigala mu Yerusaalemi aliyitibwa mutukuvu, buli muntu alibalirwa mu balamu mu Yerusaalemi.
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.
Mukama aliggyawo obutali butuukirivu bw’abakazi ba Sayuuni, era n’omwoyo ogusala ensonga n’omwoyo ogwokya, alisangulawo amatondo g’omusaayi mu Yerusaalemi.
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
Olwo Mukama Katonda atondewo ekire mu budde obw’emisana, n’omukka n’okumasaamasa ng’omuliro ogwaka ekiro ku kifo kyonna eky’olusozi Sayuuni ne ku bantu bonna abakuŋŋaaniddeko; kubanga ku byonna era wonna kunaaba kubikkiddwako ekitiibwa kya Katonda.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Era kiribeera ekibikka n’ekisiikirize ekiziyiza ebbugumu ly’emisana, era ekiddukiro omwewogomebwa kibuyaga n’enkuba.
