以赛亚书 4

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

錫安的更新與蒙福

4 到那日，七個女人必拉住一個男人，說：“我們吃自己的飯，穿自己的衣服；只求你讓我們歸在你名下，使我們的羞辱可以除掉。”

²到那日，從耶和華那裡發生的苗必華美榮耀；那地的果實成為以色列那些逃脫的人的誇耀和光榮。 ³那時，錫安餘剩、仍留在耶路撒冷的人，就是所有登記在耶路撒冷活人名冊上的，都必稱為聖。 ⁴主要用審判的靈和焚燒的靈把錫安女子的污穢洗去，又把耶路撒冷中間的血腥洗淨。 ⁵然後，耶和華必在錫安全山之上，並會眾之上，在日間創造雲和煙，夜間創造有火燄的光亮，因為在一切榮耀之上，必有遮蓋。 ⁶也必有亭子，日間可以使人得陰涼、避炎熱，也可以作避難時藏身之所，或作躲避狂風暴雨之處。

Isaiah 4

New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Chapter 4

¹Seven women will take hold of one man^[a]
    on that day, saying:
“We will eat our own food
    and wear our own clothing;
Only let your name be given us,
    put an end to our disgrace!”

Jerusalem Purified

²    ^[b]On that day,
The branch^[c] of the Lord will be beauty and glory,
    and the fruit of the land will be honor and splendor
    for the survivors of Israel.
³Everyone who remains in Zion,
    everyone left in Jerusalem
Will be called holy:
    everyone inscribed for life^[d] in Jerusalem.^(A)
⁴When the Lord washes away
    the filth of the daughters of Zion,
And purges Jerusalem’s blood from her midst
    with a blast of judgment, a searing blast,^(B)
⁵Then will the Lord create,
    over the whole site of Mount Zion
    and over her place of assembly,
A smoking cloud by day
    and a light of flaming fire by night.^(C)
⁶For over all, his glory will be shelter and protection:
    shade from the parching heat of day,
    refuge and cover from storm and rain.^(D)

Footnotes

4:1 Seven women…one man: deportation (cf. note on 3:1–12) would result in a disproportion of the sexes and leave the female population without enough male partners. The women are willing to marry, not for support, but to avoid disgrace.
4:2–6 Usually judged a later addition to the oracles of Isaiah. It relieves the threatening tone of the surrounding chaps. 3 and 5.
4:2 Branch: the term (Heb. semah) that is sometimes used of the ideal Davidic king of the future (cf. Jer 23:5; 33:15; Zec 3:8; 6:12). However, the parallel “fruit of the land” does not favor that usage here.
4:3 Inscribed for life: in God’s list of the elect; cf. Ex 32:32.
