Isaias 9
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
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
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)

Isaiah 9
English Standard Version
For to Us a Child Is Born
9 [a] But there will be no (A)gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he (B)brought into contempt the land of (C)Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he (D)has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.[b]
2 [c] (E)The people (F)who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of (G)deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
3 (H)You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with (I)joy at the harvest,
as they (J)are glad (K)when they divide the spoil.
4 (L)For the yoke of his burden,
(M)and the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as (N)on the day of Midian.
5 (O)For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 (P)For to us a child is born,
to us (Q)a son is given;
(R)and the government shall be (S)upon[d] his shoulder,
and his name shall be called[e]
Wonderful (T)Counselor, (U)Mighty God,
(V)Everlasting (W)Father, Prince of (X)Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace
(Y)there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
(Z)with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
(AA)The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Judgment on Arrogance and Oppression
8 The Lord has sent a word against Jacob,
and it will fall on Israel;
9 and all the people will know,
(AB)Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in pride and in arrogance of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen,
but we will build with dressed stones;
the sycamores have been cut down,
but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 But the Lord raises the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and stirs up his enemies.
12 (AC)The Syrians on the east and (AD)the Philistines on the west
devour Israel with open mouth.
(AE)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
13 The people (AF)did not turn to him who struck them,
nor inquire of the Lord of hosts.
14 So the Lord cut off from Israel (AG)head and tail,
palm branch and reed in one day—
15 (AH)the elder and honored man is the head,
and (AI)the prophet who teaches lies is the tail;
16 for those who guide this people have been leading them astray,
and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore the Lord does not (AJ)rejoice over their young men,
and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows;
for everyone is (AK)godless and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks (AL)folly.[f]
(AM)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burns like (AN)a fire;
it consumes briers and thorns;
it kindles the thickets of the forest,
and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts
the land is scorched,
and (AO)the people are like fuel for the fire;
(AP)no one spares another.
20 (AQ)They slice meat on the right, but are still hungry,
and they devour on the left, but are not satisfied;
(AR)each devours the flesh of his own arm,
21 Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim devours Manasseh;
together they are (AS)against Judah.
(AT)For all this his anger has not turned away,
and his hand is stretched out still.
