Esajas 4

1 Syv Kvinder skal paa hin Dag gribe fat i een Mand og sige: »Vi vil æde vort eget Brød og holde os selv med Klæder, blot vi maa bære dit Navn. Tag Vanæren fra os!«

And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying: 'We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by thy name; take thou away our reproach.'

2 Paa hin Dag Bliver HERRENS Spire til Fryd og Ære og Landets Frugt til Stolthed og Smykke for de undslupne i Israel.

In that day shall the growth of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

3 Den, som er levnet i Zion og blevet tilovers i Jerusalem, skal kaldes hellig, enhver, der er indskrevet til Livet i Jerusalem,

And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written unto life in Jerusalem;

4 naar Herren faar aftvættet Zions Døtres Smuds og bortskyllet Jerusalems Blodskyld fra dets Midte med Doms og Udrensnings Aand.

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 destruction.

5 Da skaber Herren over hvert et Sted paa Zions Bjerg og over dets Festforsamlinger en Sky om Dagen og Røg med luende Ildskær om Natten; thi over alt, hvad herligt er, skal der være et Dække

And the LORD will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy.

6 og Ly til Skygge mod Hede og til Skærm og Skjul mod Skybrud og Regn.

And there shall be a pavilion for a shadow in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain.
