< Esias 4 >
1 And seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own raiment: only let thy name be called upon us, [and] take away our reproach.
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。」
2 And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.
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。
3 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.
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。
4 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.
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,
5 And he shall come, and it shall be with regard to every place of mount Sion, yea, 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.
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,
6 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.
白日作蔭影以免炎暑,又可作庇護,以避狂風暴雨。
