YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Nevertheless,
there
will
be
no
more
gloom
for
those
in
distress.
In
the past
He
humbled
the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but
in
the future
He
will
honor
the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations :
As
the former
time
made
light
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So
the latter
hath
honoured
the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations .
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light ;
on
those
living
in the
land of the
shadow
of
death, a
light has
dawned
.
The people who
are
walking in darkness Have seen a great light ,
Dwellers
in a
land of death -shade
, Light hath
shone
upon
them
.
You
have
enlarged
the nation and
increased
its joy .
The
people
rejoice
before You
as they
rejoice
at
harvest time
, as men rejoice in dividing
the
plunder
.
Thou
hast
multiplied
the nation ,
Thou
hast
made
great
its joy ,
They
have
joyed
before Thee
as the
joy
in
harvest, As `
men '
rejoice in their
apportioning
spoil
.
For
as
in
the
day
of
Midian
You
have
shattered
the yoke of their
burden, the bar
across
their
shoulders
, and
the rod of their
oppressor
.
Because
the yoke of its
burden, And
the staff
of
its
shoulder
, the rod of its
exactor,
Thou
hast
broken
as
`in'
the
day
of
Midian
.
For every trampling
boot
of
battle and every
garment
rolled in blood will
be
burned
as
fuel
for the
fire.
For every battle of
a
warrior
`is'
with
rushing,
and raiment
rolled in blood ,
And
it
hath
been
for burning
--
fuel
of
fire.
For unto
us
a child is
born ,
unto
us a son is
given, and the government
will
be
upon
His shoulders.
And He will
be
called
Wonderful Counselor
, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
For a Child hath
been
born to
us ,
A Son hath
been
given to
us
, And the princely
power
is
on
his shoulder,
And He doth
call
his
name
Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty God, Father of
Eternity
, Prince of Peace.
Of
the increase of His
government
and peace there will
be
no end .
He
will
reign
on the throne of David and over
his kingdom, to establish and sustain
it with
justice
and righteousness from
that
time
and
forevermore.
The zeal of the
LORD
of Hosts will
accomplish
this.
To
the increase of the
princely
power,
And of
peace ,
there is
no end ,
On the throne of David ,
and on
his kingdom, To establish it,
and to
support
it ,
In
judgment
and in
righteousness ,
Henceforth,
even
unto
the age,
The
zeal of Jehovah
of Hosts doth
this.
The Lord has
sent a
message
against
Jacob, and it has
fallen upon
Israel.
A
word
hath
the Lord sent into
Jacob, And it hath
fallen in
Israel.
All
the people will
know
it —
Ephraim and the dwellers
of Samaria .
With
pride and arrogance
of heart they
will
say:
And
the people have
known
--
all
of
it ,
Ephraim ,
and the inhabitant
of Samaria ,
In
pride and in
greatness
of heart ,
saying,
“The
bricks have fallen, but
we will
rebuild
with
finished
stone;
the
sycamores have been felled
, but
we
will
replace
them
with
cedars. ”
`
Bricks have fallen, and
hewn
work
we build,
Sycamores have been cut
down
, and
cedars we
renew
. '
The
LORD
has
raised
up
the foes
of Rezin against
him and joined
his enemies together .
And
Jehovah
setteth
the adversaries
of Rezin on
high
above
him ,
And his enemies he
joineth
together ,
Aram from the
east
and Philistia from the
west
have
devoured
Israel with open
mouths
. Despite
all this ,
His
anger
is
not turned away;
His hand is still
upraised
.
Aram from before,
and Philistia from behind,
And
they
devour
Israel with the
whole
mouth
. With
all this not turned back
hath
His anger,
And
still
His
hand is stretched
out
.
But
the people did
not return
to
Him who struck
them;
they
did
not
seek
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
the people hath
not turned
back
unto
Him who is
smiting
it,
And
Jehovah
of Hosts they
have
not
sought
.
So
the
LORD
will
cut
off Israel’s
head and tail, both
palm
branch and reed in
a
single
day .
And
Jehovah
cutteth
off from
Israel
head and tail, Branch and reed --
the
same
day ,
The
head
is
the
elder and
honorable
man
, and the
tail
is the prophet who
teaches
lies
.
Elder, and accepted
of
face,
he
`
is '
the head,
Prophet ,
teacher
of
falsehood,
he
`is'
the
tail
.
For
those
who
guide
this people mislead
them
, and those
they
mislead
are swallowed
up
.
And
the
eulogists
of
this people are
causing
to
err
, And its
eulogised
ones
are consumed
.
Therefore the
Lord
takes
no
pleasure
in
their
young men ;
He
has
no
compassion
on
their
fatherless
and widows .
For every one of
them
is godless
and wicked
, and every mouth speaks
folly. Despite
all this ,
His
anger
is
not turned away;
His hand is still
upraised
.
Therefore ,
over
its
young men the
Lord
rejoiceth
not,
And its
orphans,
and
its
widows He
pitieth
not,
For every one `
is '
profane,
and an
evil
doer
, And every mouth is
speaking
folly. With
all this not turned back
hath
His anger,
And
still
His
hand is stretched
out
.
For wickedness
burns
like
a fire that
consumes
the
thorns
and briers
and kindles
the forest thickets
which
roll
upward
in
billows
of smoke .
For burned
as
a fire hath
wickedness,
Brier
and thorn
it
devoureth,
And it
kindleth
in
thickets
of
the forest ,
And
they
lift
themselves
up,
an
exaltation
of smoke !
By
the wrath of the
LORD
of Hosts the land is
scorched
, and the people are
fuel for
the
fire .
No
man even
spares
his brother .
In
the wrath of Jehovah
of Hosts Hath
the land been
consumed
, And the people is
as
fuel of
fire ;
A
man on
his brother hath
no
pity,
They
carve
out
what
is
on the right, but
they
are
still
hungry ;
they
eat
what
is
on the left, but
they are
still
not satisfied .
Each one
devours
the flesh of his own offspring
.
And
cutteth
down
on the right, and
hath
been
hungry ,
And
he
devoureth
on the left, And
they have
not been
satisfied ,
Each the flesh of his own arm
they
devour
.
Manasseh devours
Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh ;
together they turn
against Judah .
Despite
all this ,
His
anger
is
not turned away;
His hand is still
upraised.
Manasseh --
Ephraim, and Ephraim --
Manasseh ,
Together they `are'
against Judah ,
With
all this not turned back
hath
His anger.
And
still
His
hand is stretched
out!
