< 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 on that day, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, take but away our reproach.
2 Pazuva iro, davi raJehovha richava rakanaka uye richabwinya, uye zvibereko zvenyika zvichava chidadiso nokukudzwa kwavakapunyuka muIsraeri.
On that day shall the sprout of the Lord be for ornament and for honor, and the fruit of the land for excellence and for glory for the escaped of Israel.
3 Vaya vakasara muZioni, navakasara muJerusarema, vachanzi vatsvene, navose vakanyorwa pakati pavapenyu muJerusarema.
And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, every one that is written down unto life 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 scoured away the blood-guiltiness of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of destruction.
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 then will the Lord create upon every dwelling of mount Zion, and upon her places of assembly, a cloud and smoke by day, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a covering.
6 Chichava chifukidzo nomumvuri kubva pakupisa kwezuva, noutiziro, nenzvimbo yokuvanda kubva padutu nemvura inonaya.
And a tabernacle shall it be for a shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a refuge, and for a covert from tempest and from rain.
