Isaiah 9
New King James Version
The Government of the Promised Son(A)
9 Nevertheless (B)the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at (C)first He lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
And (D)afterward more heavily oppressed her,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
In Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 (E)The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation
And [a]increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice (F)when they divide the spoil.
4 For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of (G)Midian.
5 For every warrior’s [b]sandal from the noisy battle,
And garments rolled in blood,
(H)Will be used for burning and fuel [c]of fire.
6 (I)For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a (J)Son is given;
And (K)the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
(L)Wonderful, Counselor, (M)Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, (N)Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and peace
(O)There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The (P)zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The Punishment of Samaria
8 The Lord sent a word against (Q)Jacob,
And it has fallen on Israel.
9 All the people will know—
Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria—
Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
But we will rebuild with hewn stones;
The sycamores are cut down,
But we will replace them with cedars.”
11 Therefore the Lord shall set up
The adversaries of Rezin against him,
And spur his enemies on,
12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind;
And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is [d]stretched out still.
13 For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them,
Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel,
Palm branch and bulrush (R)in one day.
15 The elder and honorable, he is the head;
The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 For (S)the leaders of this people cause them to err,
And those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord (T)will have no joy in their young men,
Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
And every mouth speaks [e]folly.
(U)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness (V)burns as the fire;
It shall devour the briers and thorns,
And kindle in the thickets of the forest;
They shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
(W)The land is burned up,
And the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
(X)No man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall [f]snatch on the right hand
And be hungry;
He shall devour on the left hand
(Y)And not be satisfied;
(Z)Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh;
Together they shall be (AA)against Judah.
(AB)For all this His anger is not turned away,
But His hand is stretched out still.

Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
Пророчество о Младенце
9 Прошлое принизило землю Завулона и землю Неффалима, но грядущее прославит Галилею языческую и её приморский путь, ведущий за Иордан.
2 Народ, идущий во тьме,
увидел великий свет;
на живущих в стране смертной тени
воссиял свет.
3 Ты умножил народ,
увеличил их радость;
они радуются пред Тобой,
как радуются во время жатвы,
как ликуют, деля добычу.
4 Ведь, как в день поражения Мадиана[a],
Ты сломал тяготившее их ярмо,
сломал брус у них на плечах
и палку притеснителя.
5 Всякая обувь воинов, бывшая в битве,
и всякая одежда, обагрённая кровью,
будут отданы на сожжение,
станут пищей для огня.
6 Ведь Младенец родился нам,
Сын дан нам!
На плечи Его будет возложена власть,
и назовут Его:
Чудесный Советник,[b] Могучий Бог,
Вечный Отец, Правитель, дарующий мир.
7 Умножению власти Его и мира нет конца;
правит Он на престоле Довуда царством его,
утверждая и поддерживая его
правосудием и праведностью
отныне и вовеки.[c]
Это сделает ревность Вечного, Повелителя Сил.
Гнев Вечного на Исроил
8 У Владыки есть слово против потомков Якуба,
оно касается Исроила.
9 Узнает его весь народ –
Ефраим[d] и жители Сомарии,
те, что гордо
и с надменным сердцем говорят:
10 – Хотя Вечный обрушил кирпичные здания,
мы отстроим их из тёсаного камня,
и хотя Он срубил тутовые деревья,
мы заменим их кедрами.
11 Но Вечный воздвигнет против них врагов Рецина,
поднимет на них неприятелей.
12 Сирийцы с востока и филистимляне с запада
будут жадно пожирать Исроил.
Но и тогда гнев Его не отвратится,
и рука Его ещё будет занесена.
13 Но народ не возвращается к Тому, Кто разит их,
и не ищет Вечного, Повелителя Сил.
14 Тогда Вечный отсечёт у Исроила и голову, и хвост,
ветви высоких пальм и низкий тростник в один день;
15 старейшины и знатный люд – это голова,
пророки, что учат лжи, – это хвост.
16 Вожди этого народа сбили его с пути,
ведомые ими бредут по ложной дороге.
17 Поэтому Владыка не порадуется юношам,
не пожалеет сирот и вдов,
ведь каждый – безбожник и злодей,
всякий язык говорит низости.
Но и тогда гнев Его не отвратится,
и рука Его ещё будет занесена.
18 Нечестие пылает, как огонь,
пожирает терновник и колючки,
поджигает лесные чащи,
так что они вздымаются ввысь столбами дыма.
19 Гневом Вечного, Повелителя Сил,
опалится земля;
люди станут пищей для огня,
и никто не пощадит своего брата.
20 Станут пожирать справа,
но останутся голодными;
будут есть слева,
но не наедятся;
всякий будет пожирать плоть своего потомства[e]:
21 Манасса будет пожирать Ефраима,
Ефраим – Манассу;
и вместе они обратятся против Иудеи.
Но и тогда гнев Его не отвратится,
и рука Его ещё будет занесена.
Isaiah 9
New International Version
9 [a]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom(A) for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,(B) but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness(C)
have seen a great light;(D)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(E)
a light has dawned.(F)
3 You have enlarged the nation(G)
and increased their joy;(H)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(I)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(J)
you have shattered(K)
the yoke(L) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(M)
the rod of their oppressor.(N)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(O)
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,(P)
to us a son is given,(Q)
and the government(R) will be on his shoulders.(S)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(T) Mighty God,(U)
Everlasting(V) Father,(W) Prince of Peace.(X)
7 Of the greatness of his government(Y) and peace(Z)
there will be no end.(AA)
He will reign(AB) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(AC) and righteousness(AD)
from that time on and forever.(AE)
The zeal(AF) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
The Lord’s Anger Against Israel
8 The Lord has sent a message(AG) against Jacob;
it will fall on Israel.
9 All the people will know it—
Ephraim(AH) and the inhabitants of Samaria(AI)—
who say with pride
and arrogance(AJ) of heart,
10 “The bricks have fallen down,
but we will rebuild with dressed stone;(AK)
the fig(AL) trees have been felled,
but we will replace them with cedars.(AM)”
11 But the Lord has strengthened Rezin’s(AN) foes against them
and has spurred their enemies on.
12 Arameans(AO) from the east and Philistines(AP) from the west
have devoured(AQ) Israel with open mouth.
13 But the people have not returned(AT) to him who struck(AU) them,
nor have they sought(AV) the Lord Almighty.
14 So the Lord will cut off from Israel both head and tail,
both palm branch and reed(AW) in a single day;(AX)
15 the elders(AY) and dignitaries(AZ) are the head,
the prophets(BA) who teach lies(BB) are the tail.
16 Those who guide(BC) this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.(BD)
17 Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men,(BE)
nor will he pity(BF) the fatherless and widows,
for everyone is ungodly(BG) and wicked,(BH)
every mouth speaks folly.(BI)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(BJ)
18 Surely wickedness burns like a fire;(BK)
it consumes briers and thorns,(BL)
it sets the forest thickets ablaze,(BM)
so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.
19 By the wrath(BN) of the Lord Almighty
the land will be scorched(BO)
and the people will be fuel for the fire;(BP)
they will not spare one another.(BQ)
20 On the right they will devour,
but still be hungry;(BR)
on the left they will eat,(BS)
but not be satisfied.
Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[b]:
21 Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, and Ephraim on Manasseh;(BT)
together they will turn against Judah.(BU)
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.(BV)
