< Izaija 4 >
1 Na ta dan bo sedem žensk prijelo enega moškega, rekoč: »Jedle bomo svoj kruh in nosile svoje obleke; samo dovoli nam biti klicane po tvojem imenu, da odvzameš našo grajo.«
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 Na tisti dan bo Gospodova mladika krasna in veličastna in sad zemlje bo odličen in ljubek za tiste, ki so pobegnili iz Izraela.
[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 Zgodilo se bo, da bo tisti, ki je ostal na Sionu in ki ostaja v Jeruzalemu, imenovan svet, celó vsak, kdor je zapisan med živimi v Jeruzalemu,
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 ko bo Gospod izmil umazanijo sionskih hčera in očistil kri [prestolnice] Jeruzalem iz njene srede, z duhom sodbe in z duhom gorenja.
[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 In Gospod bo nad vsakim prebivališčem gore Sion in nad njenimi zbori ustvaril oblak in dim podnevi in svetlikanje plamenečega ognja ponoči, kajti nad vso slavo bo obramba.
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 Tam bo šotorsko svetišče za senco podnevi pred vročino, za prostor zatočišča in za skrivališče pred viharjem in dežjem.
that will shelter the people from the sun during the daytime and protect them when there are windstorms and rain.
