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, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let your name be called upon us, [and] take 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.

And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant 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 be, [that] the remnant left in Sion, and the remnant left in Jerusalem, [even] all that are appointed to life in Jerusalem, shall be called holy.

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

For the Lord shall wash away the filth of the sons and daughters of Sion, and shall purge out the blood from the midst of them, with the spirit of judgment, and the spirit of burning.

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 he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yes, all the region round about it shall a cloud overshadow by day, and [there shall be] as it were the smoke and light of fire burning by night: and upon all the glory shall be a defence.

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

And it shall be for a shadow from the heat, and as a shelter and a hiding place from inclemency [of weather] and from rain.
