Ezayi 4
1 Paske sèt fanm va kenbe yon sèl gason nan jou sa a pou di l: “Nou va manje pwòp pen nou e mete pwòp rad nou. Sèlman, kite nou rele pa non ou. Souple retire wont nou an!”
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 Nan jou sa a, branch SENYÈ a va bèl, plen ak glwa, e fwi tè a va fè yo leve tèt yo wo akoz bèlte a tout retay Israël 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 Li va rive ke sila ki rete Sion an ak sila yo ki rete Jérusalem nan va rele sen— tout moun ki anrejistre pou lavi Jérusalem yo
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 Senyè a fin lave fè sòti tout salte fi a Sion yo, e pirifye Jérusalem de tout san vèse pou fè l sòti nan mitan li, pa lespri jistis ak lespri brile a.
[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 SENYÈ la va fè sou tout landwa Mòn Sion, ak sou tout asanble li yo, yon nwaj pa jou, lafimen a menm, epi eklere ak yon flanm dife pandan nwit la, paske sou tout glwa la, va genyen yon kouvèti.
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 Va gen abri pou bay lonbraj kont chalè jounen an, e pou pwoteje kont tanpèt ak lapli.
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
