Isaias 4
Ang Biblia (1978)
Hangal na babae (karugtong).
4 At pitong babae ay (A)magsisihawak sa isang lalake sa araw na yaon, na mangagsasabi, Kami ay magsisikain ng aming sariling tinapay, at mangagsusuot ng aming sariling kasuutan: tawagin lamang kami sa iyong pangalan; alisin mo ang aming kadustaan.
Ang mga natira ay maliligtas.
2 Sa araw na yaon ay magiging maganda at maluwalhati (B)ang sanga ng Panginoon, at ang bunga ng lupain ay magiging magaling at mainam sa kanilang mga taga Israel na nangakatanan.
3 At mangyayari, na siyang naiwan sa Sion, at siyang nalabi sa Jerusalem, (C)tatawaging banal, sa makatuwid baga'y bawa't (D)nasusulat sa mga nabubuhay sa Jerusalem:
4 (E)Pagka huhugasan ng Panginoon ang karumhan ng mga anak na babae ng Sion, at lilinisin ang dugo ng Jerusalem sa gitna ng bayan sa pamamagitan ng bisa ng kahatulan, at sa pamamagitan ng bisa ng pagniningas.
5 At ang Panginoon ay lilikha sa itaas ng buong tahanan ng bundok ng Sion, at sa itaas ng kaniyang mga kapulungan ng isang (F)ulap at usok sa araw, at ng (G)liwanag ng nagniningas na apoy sa gabi: sapagka't sa itaas ng lahat ng kaluwalhatian ay magkakaroon ng isang kubong na kayo.
6 At magkakaroon ng kanlungan upang maging lilim sa kaarawan laban sa init, at (H)upang maging kanlungan at kublihan sa bagyo at sa ulan.
Isaiah 4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 4
1 Seven 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.
3 Everyone who remains in Zion,
everyone left in Jerusalem
Will be called holy:
everyone inscribed for life[d] in Jerusalem.(A)
4 When 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)
5 Then 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)
6 For 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.
