< Isaya 4 >
1 Pazuva iro vakadzi vanomwe vachabata murume mumwe vagoti, “Tichadya zvokudya zvedu uye tichazvitsvakira zvokufuka. Tinongoda kudanwa nezita rako bedzi. Bvisa kunyadziswa kwedu!”
And seven women shall take hold of one man in that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel. Only let us be called by thy name; take thou away our reproach.
2 Pazuva iro, davi raJehovha richava rakanaka uye richabwinya, uye zvibereko zvenyika zvichava chidadiso nokukudzwa kwavakapunyuka muIsraeri.
In that day the branch of Jehovah shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be excellent and comely for those who have escaped from Israel.
3 Vaya vakasara muZioni, navakasara muJerusarema, vachanzi vatsvene, navose vakanyorwa pakati pavapenyu muJerusarema.
And it shall come to pass, that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is written among the living in Jerusalem,
4 Jehovha achashambidza tsvina yevakadzi veZioni; achanatsa makwapa eropa kubva muJerusarema nomweya wokutonga uye nomweya womoto.
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 of it, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning.
5 Ipapo Jehovha achasika pamusoro pegomo rose reZioni napamusoro pavose vanoungana ikoko gore routsi masikati nezhenje romoto unopfuta usiku; pamusoro pokubwinya kwose pachava nechidzitiro.
And Jehovah will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the glory, a covering.
6 Chichava chifukidzo nomumvuri kubva pakupisa kwezuva, noutiziro, nenzvimbo yokuvanda kubva padutu nemvura inonaya.
And there shall be a pavilion for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
