Ihaia 4

1 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.

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.

2 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.

And in that day God shall shine gloriously in counsel on the earth, to exalt and glorify the remnant of Israel.

3 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:

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 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.

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 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.

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.

6 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.

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.
