Isaayyaas 4
1 Bara sana keessa dubartoonni torba nama tokkicha qabatanii, “Nu nyaatuma keenya nyaanna; uffata keenya uffanna; garuu maqaa keetiin haa waamamnu. Salphina keenya nurraa fageessi!” jedhuun.
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 Bara sana keessa dameen Waaqayyoo bareedee ulfina qabaata; iji lafaas hambaa Israaʼeliif waan isaan ittiin boonanii fi ulfina taʼa.
[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 Warri Xiyoon keessatti hafan, warri Yerusaalem keessatti hambifaman, warri namoota Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan keessatti galmeeffaman hundi qulqulloota jedhamanii ni waamamu.
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 Gooftaan xurii dubartoota Xiyoon irraa dhiqa; inni Yerusaalem irraa hafuura murtiitii fi hafuura ibiddaatiin dhiiga ni qulqulleessa.
[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 Ergasiis Waaqayyo guutummaa Tulluu Xiyoonii fi warra achitti walitti qabaman hundaa irratti guyyaadhaan duumessa aaraa, halkaniin immoo ifa arraba ibiddaa ni uuma; ulfina sana hunda irra dunkaanatu jiraata.
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 Innis hoʼa guyyaa irraa daʼoo fi gaaddisa, iddoo bubbee hamaa fi bokkaa jalaa itti baqatanii fi iddoo itti dhokatan taʼa.
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
