Ezayi 4
1 Jou sa a, sèt fanm pral kouri dèyè yon sèl gason, y'a di l': -Nou ka bay tèt nou manje. Nou ka biye tèt nou. Men, tanpri, kite nou di se mari nou ou ye pou nou pa wont devan moun!
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].”
2 Jou sa a, Seyè a va fè tout plant nan peyi a boujonnen ankò. Y'a grandi byen bèl, byen gwo. Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki pa t' mouri va kontan bèl rekòt tè a va bay. Sa va fè yo leve tèt yo.
[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.
3 Lè sa a, moun ki rete nan sa ki te sou mòn Siyon an, moun ki va chape anba lanmò pami sa ki te lavil Jerizalèm lan, y'a rele yo: moun Bondye mete apa pou li. Bondye va kite yo viv lavil Jerizalèm.
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.
4 Lè Bondye va lave malpwòpte medam yo t'ap fè nan lavil la, lè l'a lave tout san ki te koule nan lavil Jerizalèm, Bondye pral rann jijman, li pral pini lavil la.
[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.
5 Lajounen, Seyè a va voye yon gwo nwaj vin poze sou tout mòn Siyon an ak sou tout moun ki sanble la a. Lannwit, se va lafimen ak yon gwo flanm dife la voye. Pouvwa Bondye a pral kouvri yo, l'ap pwoteje tout lavil la.
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
6 Lajounen, l'ap kouvri lavil la pou chalè solèy pa bat li. L'ap pwoteje l' pou loray ak lapli pa fè l' anyen.
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
