Paghahari ng Prinsipe ng Kapayapaan
9 Ngunit(A) napawi na ang dilim sa bayang matagal nang namimighati. Noong mga nakaraang araw, inilagay niya sa kahihiyan ang lupain ng Zebulun at ang lupain ng Neftali. Ngunit sa panahong darating, dadakilain niya ang lupaing ito, daanang papunta sa lawa, sa ibayo ng Jordan, sa Galilea ng mga Hentil!
2 Nakakita(B) ng isang maningning na liwanag
ang bayang matagal nang lumalakad sa kadiliman;
sumikat na ang liwanag
sa mga taong naninirahan sa lupaing balot ng dilim.
3 Pinasigla mo ang kanilang pagdiriwang,
dinagdagan mo ang kanilang tuwa.
Nagagalak sila na parang panahon ng anihan,
at parang mga taong naghahati-hati sa nasamsam na kayamanan.
4 Sapagkat binali mo ang pamatok ng kahirapan
at mga bigatin sa kanilang balikat ay pinasan.
Pamalo ng mga mang-aapi, iyong binali
tulad sa Midian na iyong ginapi.
5 Ang panyapak ng mga mandirigma,
at ang lahat ng kasuotang tigmak sa dugo ay susunugin.
6 Sapagkat isinilang ang isang sanggol na lalaki para sa atin.
Ibibigay sa kanya ang pamamahala;
at siya ay tatawaging Kahanga-hangang Tagapayo,
Makapangyarihang Diyos, Walang Hanggang Ama,
Prinsipe ng Kapayapaan.
7 Magiging(C) malawak ang kanyang kapangyarihan
at walang katapusang kapayapaan ang ipagkakaloob sa trono ni David at sa kanyang kaharian.
Itatatag niya ito at pamamahalaan
na may katarungan at katuwiran
mula ngayon at magpakailanman.
Isasagawa ito ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
Paparusahan ng Diyos ang Israel
8 Nagsalita ang Panginoon laban kay Jacob,
sa kaharian ng Israel.
9 Malalaman ito ng lahat ng tao sa Efraim
at ng lahat ng naninirahan sa Samaria,
ngunit dahil sila'y pangahas at tunay na palalo, sila ay nagsabi ng ganito:
10 “Gumuho man ang mga gusaling yari sa tisa,
magtatayo naman kami ng gusaling yari sa bato.
Maubos man ang mga punong sikamoro,
papalitan namin ng sedar ang mga ito.”
11 Kaya sila'y ipasasalakay ni Yahweh
sa kanilang mga kaaway.
12 Ang Israel ay sasakmalin ng Siria mula sa silangan
at ng mga Filisteo mula sa kanluran,
ngunit hindi pa rin mawawala ang matindi niyang galit,
at patuloy pa niyang paparusahan ang bayang Israel.
13 Ngunit hindi pa rin magsisisi ang bayan kahit na sila'y parusahan,
ayaw talaga nilang magbalik-loob kay Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
14 Kaya sa loob lamang ng isang araw ay paparusahan ni Yahweh ang mga pinuno't mamamayan ng Israel;
para silang hayop na pinutulan ng ulo't buntot.
15 Ang ulo'y ang matatandang pinuno na iginagalang,
at ang buntot nama'y mga propetang bulaan.
16 Iniligaw ng kanilang mga pinuno ang bayang ito
kaya ang mga tagasunod nila ay nagkakagulo.
17 Dahil dito, hindi kinalugdan ng Panginoon ang kanilang mga kabataang lalaki,
hindi niya kinahabagan ang kanilang mga ulila at biyuda.
Lahat sila'y walang kinikilalang diyos at masasama;
pawang kahangalan ang kanilang sinasabi.
Sa lahat ng ito'y hindi mawawala ang matindi niyang galit,
patuloy niyang paparusahan ang bayang Israel.
18 Ang kasamaan ay naglalagablab na parang apoy
at sumusunog sa mga tinik at dawag;
tutupukin nito ang masukal na gubat
at papailanlang ang makapal na usok.
19 Susunugin ang buong lupa
dahil sa poot ni Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat,
at ang mga tao'y parang mga panggatong sa apoy
at walang ititira sa kanyang kapwa.
20 Susunggaban nila ang anumang pagkaing kanilang makikita,
gayunma'y hindi sila mabubusog,
kakainin din nila kahit laman ng kanilang mga anak.
21 Magsasagupaan ang mga naninirahan sa Manases at Efraim
at pagkatapos ay pagtutulungan ang Juda;
ngunit hindi pa rin mawawala ang matinding poot ni Yahweh.
Patuloy niyang paparusahan ang bayang Israel.

Isaiah 9
Complete Jewish Bible
9 (2) The people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
upon those living in the land that lies
in the shadow of death, light has dawned.
2 (3) You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice in your presence
as if rejoicing at harvest time,
the way men rejoice
when dividing up the spoil.
3 (4) For the yoke that weighed them down,
the bar across their shoulders,
and their driver’s goad
you have broken as on the day of Midyan[’s defeat].
4 (5) For all the boots of soldiers marching
and every cloak rolled in blood
is destined for burning,
fuel for the fire.
5 (6) For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us;
dominion will rest on his shoulders,
and he will be given the name
Pele-Yo‘etz El Gibbor
Avi-‘Ad Sar-Shalom
[Wonder of a Counselor, Mighty God,
Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace],
6 (7) in order to extend the dominion
and perpetuate the peace
of the throne and kingdom of David,
to secure it and sustain it
through justice and righteousness
henceforth and forever.
The zeal of Adonai-Tzva’ot
will accomplish this.
7 (8) Adonai sent a word to Ya‘akov,
and it has fallen on Isra’el.
8 (9) All the people know it,
Efrayim and the inhabitants of Shomron.
But they say in pride,
in the arrogance of their hearts,
9 (10) “The bricks have fallen,
but we will rebuild with cut stone;
the sycamore-fig trees have been chopped down,
but we will replace them with cedars.”
10 (11) So Adonai has raised up Retzin’s foes against him
and spurred on his enemies —
11 (12) Aram from the east, P’lishtim from the west;
and they devour Isra’el with an open mouth.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
12 (13) Yet the people do not turn to the one striking them,
they don’t seek Adonai-Tzva’ot.
13 (14) Therefore Adonai will cut off
Isra’el’s head and tail,
[tall] palm frond and [lowly] reed in a single day.
14 (15) The old and the honored are the head,
while prophets teaching lies are the tail.
15 (16) For those leading this people lead them astray,
and those led by them are destroyed.
16 (17) Therefore Adonai takes no joy in their young men
and has no compassion on their orphans and widows;
for everyone is ungodly and does evil,
every mouth speaks foolishly.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
17 (18) For wickedness burns like fire,
it devours briars and thorns;
it sets the forest underbrush ablaze,
with clouds of smoke whirling upward.
18 (19) The anger of Adonai-Tzva’ot
is burning up the land;
the people, too, are fuel for the fire —
no one spares even his brother.
19 (20) The one on the right grabs but stays hungry,
the one on the left eats but is unfilled.
Everyone devours his own arm’s flesh —
20 (21) M’nasheh devours Efrayim;
and Efrayim, M’nasheh;
while together they oppose Y’hudah.
Even after all this, his anger remains,
his upraised hand still threatens.
Isaiah 9
New International Version
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)
