Profetia om Messias
9 Men denna mörka och hopplösa tid ska inte vara för alltid. Sebulons och Naftalis land har drabbats av Guds dom, men i framtiden ska dessa områden i Galileen och landet längs Jordan bli hedrat.
2 Folket som vandrar i mörker ska få se ett stort ljus. Över alla dem som bor i dödsskuggans land ska ett klart ljus lysa.
3 Israel ska bli mäktigt igen och fyllt av glädje. Man ska glädjas som under skördetiden och som när man efter en vunnen strid delar upp krigsbytet.
4 För Gud ska lossa kedjorna som binder hans folk och bryta sönder piskan som misshandlar deras ryggar, på samma sätt som han besegrade midjaniternas stora här med Gideons lilla armé.
5 På denna fridens dag ska det inte längre finnas något kvar som påminner om krig. Allt sådant ska brännas upp, skon som krigaren bar i striden, och manteln som sölades ner av blod.
6 Ett barn har blivit fött åt oss. Vi har fått en son av kunglig ätt. Regeringsmakten ska vila på hans axlar, och han ska kallas 'Underbar Rådgivare
7 Hans väldiga fridsrike ska aldrig upphöra att växa. Han ska regera från Davids tron i fullkomlig godhet och rättvisa, och han ska låta alla nationer i världen få uppleva rättvisa och fred. Detta kommer att ske därför att Herren, härskarornas Gud, har bestämt det!
8-10 Herren har talat till det stolta Israel, som säger att även om landet nu ligger i ruiner, ska vi bygga upp det så att det blir ännu bättre än det var. Det som var av tegel ska byggas upp i huggen sten, och vi ska ersätta de nerhuggna mullbärsfikonträden med cedrar!
11-12 Herrens svar på detta skryt är att dra samman era fiender mot er, arameerna i öster och filisteerna i väster, och med vidöppna gap ska de sluka Israel. Men inte ens då ska Herrens vrede mot er gå över. Han ska fortfarande ha sin arm lyft, beredd att slå.
13 Inte ens efter all denna bestraffning kommer ni att göra bättring och vända er till honom, härskarornas Gud.
14-15 Därför kommer Herren att en dag i ett enda slag göra av med Israels förnäma ledare och alla deras lögnaktiga profeter.
16 De har lett Herrens folk vilse.
17 Därför kan Herren inte glädja sig över deras unga män och inte bevisa barmhärtighet mot änkor och föräldralösa, för de är alla ogudaktiga och fulla av lögn. Hans vrede tar inte slut, utan hans hand är lyft för att slå dem allesammans.
18 Han ska bränna upp all denna ogudaktighet, dessa törnen och tistlar, som en väldig skog i ett moln av svart rök.
19-20 Landet ska färgas svart av branden, av Herrens, härskarornas Guds, vrede. Folket blir till bränsle på elden. Bröder kommer att slåss och stjäla varandras mat, men ändå får ingen nog. Ja, till slut ska de till och med äta sina egna!
21 Manasse ska kämpa mot Efraim och Efraim mot Manasse, och tillsammans ska de vända sig mot Juda. Men inte ens efter detta ska det vara slut på Guds vrede. Fortfarande ska hans hand vila tung över dem för att krossa dem.
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
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.
