미래의 왕

그러나 고통하는 자들에게 언제나 절망과 어두움이 계속되는 것은 아니다. 스불론 땅과 납달리 땅이 한때는 하나님의 멸시를 받았으나 앞으로는 지중해 동쪽 요단강 서편의 이방 사람들이 사는 갈릴리가 영화롭게 될 것이다.

흑암 가운데 걸어다니던 백성이
큰 빛을 보았고
죽음의 그늘진 땅에 사는
사람들에게 빛이 비치었다.
이스라엘은 다시
번영을 누리게 될 것이며
추수할 때와
약탈물을 나눌 때와 같은
즐거움이 이 땅에 넘치리라.
하나님이 자기 백성을
묶고 있는 사슬과
그들을 치는 채찍을 꺾어 버리시고
옛날 미디안 군대를
쳐부수신 것처럼
그들을 괴롭히고 착취하는 나라를
쳐부수실 것이다.
[a]그 영광스러운 평화의 날에는
전쟁터에서 사용된
모든 군화와 피 묻은 군복이
불에 소각될 것이다.
한 아기가 태어났으니
우리에게 주신 아들이다.
그가 우리의 통치자가 되실 것이니
그 이름은 [b]‘위대한 스승’,
‘전능하신 하나님’,
‘영원히 계시는 아버지’,
‘평화의 왕’ 이라 하리라.
그의 왕권은 한없이 신장되고
그의 나라는
언제나 평화로울 것이며
그가 다윗의 왕위에 앉아
그 나라를 굳게 세우고
공정함과 의로움으로
영원히 다스리실 것이다.
전능하신 여호와의 열심이
이것을 이루리라.

이스라엘에 대한 여호와의 분노

여호와께서 이스라엘, 곧 야곱의 후손들에게 심판을 선언하셨다.

에브라임과 사마리아에 사는 사람들과 이스라엘의 모든 사람들이 이것을 알 것이다. 이제 그들은 교만하고 거만하여 이렇게 말하고 있다.

10 “벽돌이 무너졌으나 우리는 다듬은 돌로 다시 쌓을 것이며 뽕나무가 찍혔으나 우리는 백향목으로 그것을 대체하겠다.”

11 그러므로 여호와께서 그들의 대적을 일으켜 그들을 치게 하셨으니

12 동쪽으로는 시리아 사람이며 서쪽으로는 블레셋 사람이다. 그들이 입을 벌려 이스라엘을 삼키려고 하는데도 여호와의 분노는 그치지 않고 그의 손은 펴진 채 그대로 있다.

13 이 백성이 벌을 받고서도 뉘우치고 돌아와 전능하신 여호와를 찾지 않는구나.

14-15 그러므로 여호와께서 단 하루 만에 이 스라엘의 지도자들과 백성, 그리고 거짓말하는 예언자들을 쳐서 벌하실 것이다.

16 지도자들이 이 백성을 파멸의 길로 이끌어가고 있다.

17 이 백성들이 불경스럽고 악하며 더러운 말을 함부로 지껄여대므로 여호와께서 젊은 사람들을 기뻐하지 않으시고 고아와 과부를 불쌍히 여기지 않으실 것이다. 그래도 여호와의 분노가 그치지 않을 것이며 그의 손은 펴진 채 그대로 있을 것이다.

18 이 백성의 악은 가시와 엉겅퀴를 태우는 불과 같아서 연기가 치솟는 산불처럼 타오르고 있다.

19-20 전능하신 여호와의 분노로 이 땅이 새 까맣게 타 버릴 것이며 백성들은 그 불의 연료가 될 것이다. 사람들이 자기 형제도 몰라보고 서로 아귀다툼을 하며 음식을 빼앗아 먹어도 굶주림을 채우지 못하여 결국 [c]자기 자식까지 먹게 될 것이다.

21 므낫세가 에브라임을 치고 에브라임이 므낫세를 칠 것이며 그 두 지파가 합세하여 유다를 칠 것이다. 그래도 여호와의 분노가 그치지 않을 것이며 그의 손은 펴진 채 그대로 있을 것이다.

[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—

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)
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)
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)
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.
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)
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

The Lord has sent a message(AG) against Jacob;
    it will fall on Israel.
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.

Yet for all this, his anger(AR) is not turned away,
    his hand is still upraised.(AS)

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)

  2. Isaiah 9:20 Or arm

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.

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.
