YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day, saying, 'Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our reproach.'
1 Y ECHARÁN mano de un hombre siete mujeres en aquel tiempo, diciendo: Nosotras comeremos de nuestro pan, y nos vestiremos de nuestras ropas; solamente sea llamado tu nombre sobre nosotras, quita nuestro oprobio.
2 In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for beauty to the escaped of Israel.
2 En aquel tiempo el renuevo de Jehová será para hermosura y gloria, y el fruto de la tierra para grandeza y honra, á los librados de Israel.
3 And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is remaining in Jerusalem, 'Holy' is said of him, Of every one who is written for life in Jerusalem.
3 Y acontecerá que el que quedare en Sión, y el que fuere dejado en Jerusalem, será llamado santo; todos los que en Jerusalem están escritos entre los vivientes;
4 If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion, And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
4 Cuando el Señor lavare las inmundicias de las hijas de Sión, y limpiare las sangres de Jerusalem de en medio de ella, con espíritu de juicio y con espíritu de ardimiento.
5 Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a safe-guard,
5 Y criará Jehová sobre toda la morada del monte de Sión, y sobre los lugares de sus convocaciones, nube y oscuridad de día, y de noche resplandor de fuego que eche llamas: porque sobre toda gloria [habrá] cobertura.
6 And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from rain!
6 Y habrá sombrajo para sombra contra el calor del día, para acogida y escondedero contra el turbión y contra el aguacero.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 4:4 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book IV, Chapter XXI)

    Now in the last days, when the fulness of the time of liberty had arrived, the Word Himself did by Himself "wash away the filth of the daughters of Zion," when He washed the disciples' feet with His own hands.
