Isaia 9:2-4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
2 Poporul(A), care umbla în întuneric, vede o mare lumină; peste cei ce locuiau în ţara umbrei morţii răsare o lumină. 3 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. 4 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).

Isaiah 9:2-4
New International Version
2 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)
3 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)
4 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)
Isaiah 9:2-4
New King James Version
2 (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.
3 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.
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 (C)Midian.
