< 以賽亞書 4 >
1 那一日,七個女人要抓住一個男人說:「我們吃自己的食糧,穿自己的衣服,只要你容許我們歸於你名下,除去我們的恥辱。」
And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.
2 那一日,由上主所發出的苗芽,必成為以色列遺民的光輝與榮耀;地上的果實必成為他們的誇耀與光彩。
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
3 凡留在熙雍的,遺在耶路撒冷的,即凡錄在耶路撒冷的生命冊上的,都必將稱為聖者。
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
4 當吾主以懲治的神和毀滅的神,洗淨熙雍女子的污穢,滌除耶路撒冷中間的血漬時,
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
5 上主將顯現在熙雍山整個地盤與其集會之上:白日藉著雲煙,黑夜藉光亮的火燄;因為在一切之上,有上主的榮耀,有如天蓋和帳棚,
And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
6 白日作蔭影以免炎暑,又可作庇護,以避狂風暴雨。
And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
