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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

In that day(A) seven women
    will take hold of one man(B)
and say, “We will eat our own food(C)
    and provide our own clothes;
only let us be called by your name.
    Take away our disgrace!”(D)

The Branch of the Lord

In that day(E) the Branch of the Lord(F) will be beautiful(G) and glorious, and the fruit(H) of the land will be the pride and glory(I) of the survivors(J) in Israel. Those who are left in Zion,(K) who remain(L) in Jerusalem, will be called holy,(M) all who are recorded(N) among the living in Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the filth(O) of the women of Zion;(P) he will cleanse(Q) the bloodstains(R) from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment(S) and a spirit[b] of fire.(T) Then the Lord will create(U) over all of Mount Zion(V) and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night;(W) over everything the glory[c](X) will be a canopy.(Y) It will be a shelter(Z) and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge(AA) and hiding place from the storm(AB) and rain.
