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 on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but 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.

On that day shall the sprout of the Lord be for ornament and for honor, and the fruit of the land for excellence and for glory for the 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 whoever is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written down 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 scoured away the blood-guiltiness of Jerusalem from her midst, 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 then will the Lord create upon every dwelling of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, a cloud and smoke by day, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a covering.

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

And a tabernacle shall it be for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from tempest and from rain.
