Hi all. What's the translation of arropar please ? Thanks. I don't speak Spanish nor English and I have great difficulties grasping this text.

la Iglesia de Cristo no la puede tocar nadie . él que le quiera hacer daño , pobrecito de él .imagen a 1 hora 20 minutos 40 segundos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5EWmVlbvoM lo que se ve al fondo en la fotografía es la gran ola de la explosion atómica . así será . por eso arropará las áreas en el mapa . muchos humanos que viven en los estados unidos han soñado con una gran ola en los estados unidos . y lo seguirán soñando . se está acercando el momento .

the Church of Christ can not be touched by anyone . he who wants to hurt it , poor him . image at 1 hour 20 minutes 40 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5EWmVlbvoM what you see in the background of the picture is the big wave of the atomic explosion . it will be like that . that is why it will cover the areas on the map . many humans living in the united states have dreamed of a big wave in the united states . and will continue to dream it . the moment is approaching .

arropará las áreas en el mapa .

it will cover the areas on the map .

it will surround the areas on the map .

it will wrap up the areas on the map .

it will cocoon the areas on the map .

engulf
Explanation:
That's probably the word you're looking for, though if you don't speak either Spanish or English, I'm puzzled as to why you'd be looking for it.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: You beat me to it!
29 mins
  -> Thanks, Muriel.
agree  philgoddard: I also don't understand why the translation reproduces the poor Spanish rather than correcting it.
1 hr
  -> Anybody's guess Phil. Thanks.
agree  neilmac: OT sounds like the ravings of a doom and gloom monger. Isn't "arropar" usually a positive thing?
1 hr
  -> If you watch a few seconds of that YouTube video you'll probably consider that an understatement, Neil :-)
agree  Isamar: Yes, in this context engulf is perfect. Odd choice of word in Spanish as neilmac says, especially given that "arropar" can also mean to tuck a child up in bed.
