Use a translucent shader and mix it with your current shader.

Final

The best looking result you can achieve by using Subsurface Scattering shader.

Nodes

The other options could be also:

  1. Mix Diffuse shader with Transparent shader - this will give you visible emission material trough it.

  2. Translucent shader - the inside of the lantern will not be affected by light.

  3. Diffuse mixed with Translucent - will be very close to Subsurface Scattering. You will want to mix it with Transparent shader.

Note that I've bumped Emission material to 20.
