Isaia 4
1 Amy andro zay, ho fihine’ ty rakemba fito ty lahilahy, hanao ty hoe: Ty mahakama’ay avao ty ho kamae’ay, naho ty saro’ay avao ty hiombea’ay; fe angao ho tokaveñe ami’ty tahina’o zahay, hañafahañe ty hasalara’ay.
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 Ho fanjàka naho hanañ’engeñe ty tora-mionjo’ Iehovà amy andro zay, vaho ho fisengeañe naho volonahe’ ty nibotitsike am’Israele ty voka’ i taney.
[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 Ho tondroke te hatao miavake ze sehanga’e amy Tsione ao naho ze honka’e am’ Ierosalaime ao, eka, ze hene sinokitse ho veloñe e Ierosalaime ao,
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 ie fa sinasa’ i Talè amo anak’ampela’ Israeleo ty haleora’e; naho fa nimongore’e ty lio’ Ierosalaime boak’ añ’ate’e ao ami’ty arofon-jaka naho ami’ty arofom-piforehetañe.
[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 Le hanoe’ Iehovà ambone’ ze akiba ambohi’ i Tsione eo naho ambone’ o firimboña’eo ty rahoñe an-katoeñe te handro, vaho ty fireandreañ’ afo milebaleba te haleñe; le ho ey ty lafike ambone’ o engeñe iabio.
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 Le ho eo ka ty bandrabandra naho antoandro amy hatrevohañey, naho fipalirañe vaho fitampinañe ami’ty tio-bey naho amo orañeo.
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
