Poporul(A), care umbla în întuneric, vede o mare lumină; peste cei ce locuiau în ţara umbrei morţii răsare o lumină. Tu înmulţeşti poporul, îi dai mari bucurii, şi el se bucură înaintea Ta, cum se bucură la seceriş, cum se veseleşte la(B) împărţirea prăzii. Căci jugul care apăsa asupra lui, toiagul(C) care-i lovea spinarea, nuiaua celui ce-l asuprea, le-ai sfărâmat, ca în ziua lui Madian(D).

The people walking in darkness(A)
    have seen a great light;(B)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(C)
    a light has dawned.(D)
You have enlarged the nation(E)
    and increased their joy;(F)
they rejoice before you
    as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
    when dividing the plunder.(G)
For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(H)
    you have shattered(I)
the yoke(J) that burdens them,
    the bar across their shoulders,(K)
    the rod of their oppressor.(L)

(A)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.

You have multiplied the nation
And [a]increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice (B)when they divide the spoil.
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 (C)Midian.
