1. Your proposal hit a snag. In Malachi 3:6, G_d says, "For I am the L_RD [YHVH], I change [shanah] not;..."

2. Is it a stretch to translate it as "The Peace-Maker/Peaceable One* [is willing] to save, now?"

3. Looking again at na', it is also said to be used in the emphatic. In English, we use the word "do" as an emphatic for verbs. For instance, I could say,

---

"Speak up so I can hear you." Or I could say,
"Do speak up so I can hear you."

Does na' serve the same function? Could hosha na' be translated as "Do save [us]?"

*There also seems to be a strong tie-in to the phrase Prince of Peace [Sar Shalowm] found in Isaiah 9:6 (your namesake).

"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth." Ps. 127:4
