< 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].”
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hisy vehivavy fito hihazona lehilahy iray ka hanao hoe: Ny haninay ihany no hohaninay, ary ny lambanay ihany no hotafinay; Fa izao ihany no angatahinay: Aoka hotononina amin’ ny anaranao izahay, Ka afaho tondromaso
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.
Amin’ izany andro izany ny rantsan’ i Jehovah dia ho tonga fahatsaran-tarehy sy voninahitra, Ary ny vokatry ny tany dia ho rehareha sy firavaka ho an’ ny Isiraely sisa afaka;
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.
Ary izay sisa any Ziona sy izay mbola mitoetra any Jerosalema dia hatao hoe masìna. Dia izay rehetra voasoratra ho isan’ ny velona any Jerosalema.
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.
Rehefa voasasan’ ny Tompo ho afaka amin’ ny fahalotoany ireo zanakavavin’ i Ziona, Ary rehefa voadion’ ny fanahy fitsarana, sy ny fanahy fandringanana Jerosalema, Ho afaka amin’ ny ran’ olona nalatsany.
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
Ary Jehovah hamorona rahona sy setroka raha antoandro Sy fahazavan’ ny afo midedadeda nony alina Ho eny ambonin’ ny fitoerana rehetra any an-tendrombohitra Ziona Sy ho eny ambonin’ ny fivoriany rehetra; Ary eny ambonin’ ny voninahitra rehetra dia hisy eloelo
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
Ka hisy trano-lay ho fialokalofana amin’ ny hainandro raha antoandro Ary ho fialofana sy fierena amin’ ny tafio-drivotra sy ny ranonorana.
