< 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 in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your name, to 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.
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped 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 come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
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.
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by 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 the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for 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 there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
