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].”
Siku hiyo wanawake saba watamchukua mwanaume mmoja na kusema, ''Tutakula chakula chetu wenyewe, tutavaa nguo zetu wenyewe. lakini tunahitaji kuchukua jina lako ili tuondoe haibu zetu.''
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.
Na siku hiyo tawi zuri la Yahwe na utukufu, na matunda yatakuwa na ladha nzuri na kupendeza kwa wale wanaoishi Israeli.
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.
Itatokea kwa yule aliyeachwa Sayuni na wale waliobakia Yerusalemu wataitwa watakatifu, yeyeto aliyeandikwa chini anaishi Yerusalemu.
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.
Hii itatokea pale ambapo Bwana atasafisha uchafu wa mabinti wa Sayuni, na atasafisha madoa ya damu kutoka kati ya Yerusalemu, kwa namna ya roho ya hukumu na roho ya kuungua na moto.
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
Tena juu ya mlima wote wa Sayuni na mahali pakuksanyikia, Yahwe atafanya wingu na moshi kwa wakati wa mchana na moto unaong'a wakati wa usiku; na itakuwa dari juu ya utukufu wote.
6 that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
kutakuwa na kivuli kwenye makazi wakati mchana kuzuia jua, na kimbilio na mfuniko kutoka kwenye mawimbi na mvua.
