Isaiah 4
1 And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, 'Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our reproach.'
E mau ano nga wahine tokowhitu ki te tangata kotahi i taua ra, a ka mea, Ko ta matou taro ano hei kai ma matou, ko o matou kakahu ano hei kakahu mo matou; ko tou ingoa noa kia whakahuatia mo matou; tangohia atu e koe to matou ingoa kino.
2 In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.
I taua ra tera e ataahua te peka o Ihowa, e kororia rawa, a ka mamaru te hua o te whenua, ka whakapaipai, hei mea ma nga morehu o Iharaira.
3 And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, 'Holy' is said of him, Of every one who is written for life in Jerusalem.
Na, ko te tangata i toe ki Hiona, i mahue ki Hiurharama, ka kiia he tapu, ara nga tangata katoa kua oti te tuhituhi ki roto ki te hunga ora i Hiruharama:
4 If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Ina oti te paru o nga tamahine o Hiona te horoi e te Ariki, ina purea e ia nga toto o Hiruharama i roto i a ia, ki te wairua o te whakawa, ki te wairua tahutahu.
5 Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,
A ka hanga e Ihowa ki runga ki te nohoanga katoa o Maunga Hiona, ki runga ano hoki i ona huihuinga, he kapua me te paowa i te awatea, he aho no te ahi murara i te po; no te mea ka horahia he hipoki ki runga katoa o te kororia.
6 And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
A ka ai he tihokahoka hei whakamarumaru i te awatea mo te werawera, hei rerenga atu hoki, hei whakaruru mo te tupuhi, mo te ua.
