< Isaiah 4 >
1 And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, Our own bread will we eat, and with our own garments will we be clothed; only let us be called by thy name; — 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 In that day there shall be a sprout of Jehovah for beauty and glory, and the fruit of the earth for excellency and for ornament for those that are escaped 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 come to pass that he who remaineth in Zion, and he that is left in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, — every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem;
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 when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have scoured out the blood of Jerusalem from its midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by 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 Jehovah will create over every dwelling-place of mount Zion, and over its convocations, a cloud by day and a smoke, and the brightness of a flame of fire by night: for over all the glory shall be a covering.
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 there shall be a tabernacle for shade by day from the heat, and for a shelter and for a covert from storm and from rain.
白日作蔭影以免炎暑,又可作庇護,以避狂風暴雨。
