Isaiah 9
Darby Translation
9 Nevertheless the darkness shall not be as when the distress was in the [land], at the time he at first lightly, and afterwards heavily, visited the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,—the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations:
2 the people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them light hath shone.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, hast increased its joy: they joy before thee like to the joy in harvest; as [men] rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every boot of him that is shod for the tumult, and the garment rolled in blood, shall be for burning, fuel for fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word unto Jacob, and it lighteth upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know [it], Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamore trees are cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.
11 And Jehovah will set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and arm his enemies,
12 the Syrians on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
13 But the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, and they do not seek Jehovah of hosts.
14 And Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch and rush, in one day:
15 the ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16 For the guides of this people mislead [them]; and they that are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice in their young men, neither will he have mercy on their fatherless and on their widows; for every one is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burneth as a fire: it devoureth briars and thorns, and kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they go rolling up like a pillar of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts is the land burned up, and the people is as fuel for fire: a man spareth not his brother;
20 and he snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry, and eateth on the left hand; and they are not satisfied. They eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; [and] they together are against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.
以赛亚书 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
处暗之民有光照耀
9 但那受过痛苦的,必不再见幽暗。从前神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视,末后却使这沿海的路,约旦河外,外邦人的加利利地,得着荣耀。 2 在黑暗中行走的百姓看见了大光,住在死荫之地的人有光照耀他们。 3 你使这国民繁多,加增他们的喜乐。他们在你面前欢喜,好像收割的欢喜,像人分掳物那样的快乐。 4 因为他们所负的重轭和肩头上的杖,并欺压他们人的棍,你都已经折断,好像在米甸的日子一样。 5 战士在乱杀之间所穿戴的盔甲,并那滚在血中的衣服,都必作为可烧的,当做火柴。 6 因有一婴孩为我们而生,有一子赐给我们,政权必担在他的肩头上。他名称为奇妙、策士、全能的神、永在的父、和平的君。 7 他的政权与平安必加增无穷,他必在大卫的宝座上治理他的国,以公平、公义使国坚定稳固,从今直到永远。万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。
以色列因骄致祸
8 主使一言入于雅各家,落于以色列家, 9 这众百姓,就是以法莲和撒马利亚的居民,都要知道。他们凭骄傲自大的心说: 10 “砖墙塌了,我们却要凿石头建筑;桑树砍了,我们却要换香柏树。” 11 因此,耶和华要高举利汛的敌人来攻击以色列,并要激动以色列的仇敌, 12 东有亚兰人,西有非利士人,他们张口要吞吃以色列。虽然如此,耶和华的怒气还未转消,他的手仍伸不缩。
虽遭重祸仍不归主
13 这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主,也没有寻求万军之耶和华。 14 因此,耶和华一日之间,必从以色列中剪除头与尾,棕枝与芦苇。 15 长老和尊贵人就是头,以谎言教人的先知就是尾。 16 因为引导这百姓的使他们走错了路,被引导的都必败亡。 17 所以主必不喜悦他们的少年人,也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇,因为各人是亵渎的,是行恶的,并且各人的口都说愚妄的话。虽然如此,耶和华的怒气还未转消,他的手仍伸不缩。
18 邪恶像火焚烧,烧灭荆棘和蒺藜,在稠密的树林中着起来,就成为烟柱,旋转上腾。 19 因万军之耶和华的烈怒,地都烧遍,百姓成为火柴,无人怜爱弟兄。 20 有人右边抢夺,仍受饥饿;左边吞吃,仍不饱足。各人吃自己膀臂上的肉。 21 玛拿西吞吃[a]以法莲,以法莲吞吃玛拿西,又一同攻击犹大。虽然如此,耶和华的怒气还未转消,他的手仍伸不缩。

Isaia 9
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Căci un Copil ni s-a născut
9 Totuşi nu va mai fi întuneric
peste cei ce au fost în necaz.
După cum în trecut El a făcut de ruşine
ţinutul lui Zabulon şi ţinutul lui Neftali,
tot aşa, în viitor, El va acoperi de glorie
Galileea neamurilor,
înspre mare, dincolo de Iordan!
2 Poporul care umbla în întuneric
a văzut o mare lumină!
Peste cei ce locuiau în ţara umbrei morţii[a]
a strălucit o lumină!
3 Tu ai înmulţit neamul
şi ai făcut să-i crească bucuria.
Ei se bucură înaintea Ta
cum se bucură nişte oameni la seceriş
şi cum se bucură cei care împart o pradă.
4 Fiindcă jugul ce-i apăsa,
drugul de pe umerii lor
şi toiagul asupritorului lor,
le-ai zdrobit Tu ca în ziua înfrângerii lui Midian[b].
5 Căci orice încălţăminte purtată în învălmăşeala luptei
şi orice haină tăvălită în sânge
va fi arsă,
va deveni hrană pentru foc.
6 Căci un Copil ni s-a născut,
un Fiu ni s-a dat,
iar autoritatea va sta pe umerii Săi!
Va fi numit: «Sfetnic minunat[c],
Dumnezeu puternic, Tată veşnic, Prinţ al păcii.»
7 Autoritatea Sa va creşte neîncetat
şi va fi o pace fără sfârşit
pentru tronul lui David şi împărăţia Sa.
El o va întemeia
şi o va întări prin judecată şi dreptate,
de acum şi pe vecie.
Râvna Domnului Oştirilor
va face lucrul acesta.
Judecata Domnului asupra lui Israel
8 Stăpânul a trimis un mesaj împotriva lui Iacov;
acesta va cădea peste Israel;
9 tot poporul –
Efraim şi locuitorii Samariei – va şti,
toţi cei care, cu mândrie
şi aroganţă în inimă, zic:
10 «Au căzut cărămizile,
dar noi vom zidi cu pietre cioplite!
Sicomorii au fost tăiaţi,
dar noi îi vom înlocui cu cedri!»
11 De aceea, Domnul i-a ridicat împotriva lor pe vrăjmaşii lui Reţin,
i-a stârnit pe duşmanii lor:
12 arameii la răsărit şi filistenii la apus;
cu o gură larg deschisă ei l-au mâncat pe Israel!
Cu toate acestea, mânia Lui nu s-a potolit,
iar mâna Sa este încă întinsă.
13 Dar poporul nu s-a întors la Cel Ce îl lovea,
nu L-a căutat pe Domnul Oştirilor.
14 Aşa că Domnul va tăia din Israel capul şi coada,
ramura de palmier şi trestia, într-o singură zi.
15 Bătrânii şi demnitarii sunt capul,
iar profeţii care învaţă minciuni sunt coada.
16 Cei ce conduc acest popor îl duc în rătăcire,
iar cei ce sunt conduşi de ei sunt pierduţi[d].
17 De aceea Stăpânul nu se va mai bucura de tinerii lor,
nici nu va mai avea milă de orfanii şi de văduvele lor,
pentru că toţi sunt lipsiţi de evlavie şi ticăloşi,
toţi spun vorbe de nimic.
Cu toate acestea, mânia Lui nu s-a potolit,
iar mâna Sa este încă întinsă.
18 Da! Răutatea arde ca un foc,
arde mărăcinii şi spinii,
aprinde desişul pădurii
din care se înalţă un stâlp de fum!
19 Ţara este arsă de furia Domnului Oştirilor,
iar poporul este ca ceva de pus pe foc.
Nimeni nu-şi cruţă fratele.
20 Unul jefuieşte din dreapta şi rămâne flămând;
mănâncă din stânga şi nu se satură;
fiecare mănâncă din carnea rudeniei sale[e].
21 Manase mănâncă pe Efraim, şi Efraim pe Manase,
iar împreună mănâncă pe Iuda.
Cu toate acestea, mânia Lui nu s-a potolit,
iar mâna Sa este încă întinsă.

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)

King James Version
9 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts.
14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
