1 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.

Ishayo boʻlajak shoh haqida bashorat qiladi
1 Kulfat qamragan bu yurtda endi azob boʻlmaydi. Oldin Zabulun va Naftali yurti sharmanda boʻlgan edi. Ammo kelajakda dengiz boʻyidagi yerlar, Iordanning narigi tomonidagi oʻlka va gʻayriyahudiylar Jalilasi ulugʻlanadi.
2 Zulmatda yurgan xalq yorqin ziyoni koʻrdi,
Oʻlim soya solgan yurt aholisi ustiga nur sochildi.
3 Bu xalqni Sen koʻpaytirgansan,
Ularga koʻp shodlik ato qilgansan.
Hosil vaqtidagi mamnunlik kabi,
Oʻljalarin boʻlishib olgan paytdagi kabi,
Ular huzuringda quvonchga toʻlgan.
4 Bu xalqning ogʻir boʻyinturugʻini,
Yelkasidagi tayogʻini
Sen sindirib tashlagansan.
Zolimlarning kaltagini
Midiyon xalqi kabi,
Magʻlub qilgansan .
5 Jangda kiyilgan etiklar,
Qonga belangan hamma kiyim
Olovga tashlanib, yoqilajak.
6 Mana biz uchun bola tugʻildi,
Oʻgʻil bizga berildi.
Hukmronlik Uning zimmasidadir,
Nomi Ajoyib Maslahatchi , qudratli Xudo,
Abadiy Ota, Tinchlik Shahzodasidir.
7 Dovudning taxtida
Uning hukmronligi ortib boradi.
Tinchlik to abad hukm suradi.
Hozirdan boshlab, to abad
U adolat va haqiqat ila
Shohligini mustahkamlab, barqaror qiladi.
Sarvari Olam jon kuydirib,
Buni bajo aylaydi.
Xudoning Isroilga boʻlgan gʻazabi
8 Yoqub nasliga qarshi Rabbiy bir soʻz yubordi,
Uning soʻzi Isroil xalqiga yetib keldi.
9 Efrayimda , Samariyada yashaydiganlar,
Jamiki xalq bundan xabardor boʻldi.
Ular dimogʻdorlik, kiborlik ila aytmoqda:
10 “Gʻishtin imoratlar vayron boʻlsa,
Yoʻnilgan toshlar bilan quramiz.
Shikamora–anjir daraxtlari kesilgan boʻlsa,
Ularning oʻrniga sadr daraxtlarini ekamiz.”
11 Ana, Oram shohi Ratanga qarshi
Egam uning dushmanlarini qoʻzgʻatdi,
Gʻanimlarini daʼvat qildi.
12 Sharqdan Oramlar, gʻarbdan Filistlar
Ogʻizlarin katta ochib, Isroilni yutib yubordi.
Ammo shunday boʻlsa ham,
Egam tushmas gʻazabidan,
Uning qoʻli hamon
Isroilga qarshi koʻtarilgan.
13 Bu xalq Sarvari Olamga yuz burmadi,
Jazo bergan Zotga ular qaytmadi.
14 Shunda Egam bir kunda
Isroilning boshini va quyrugʻini,
Xurmosini va qamishini kesib oldi .
15 Oqsoqollar, amaldorlar boshdir,
Soxta paygʻambarlar quyruqdir.
16 Ular bu xalqni yoʻldan adashtirgan,
Ularga ergashganlar boshi berk koʻchaga kirib qolgan.
17 Hammasi shakkok, qabihlik qilar,
Barcha ogʻizlardan ahmoqona soʻz chiqar.
Rabbiy yoshlardan mamnun boʻlmadi,
Yetim va bevalarga shafqat koʻrsatmadi.
Ammo shunday boʻlsa ham,
Egam tushmas gʻazabidan,
Uning qoʻli hamon
Isroilga qarshi koʻtarilgan.
18 Fosiqlik olovga oʻxshab yonar,
Yeb bitirar butazoru tikanzorlarni.
Oʻrmondagi changalzorlarni yondirib,
Balandlarga tutunini oʻrlatadi.
19 Sarvari Olamning qahridan
Yurt yonib bitar,
Xalq olovga yonilgʻi boʻlar.
Odamlar oʻz yaqiniga shafqat qilmas,
20 Ular oʻng tarafga hamla qiladilar,
Ammo och qoladilar.
Yutaman deb chap tomonga hujum qiladilar,
Ammo toʻymaydilar.
Oʻz qoʻlining goʻshtini yeydi insonlar.
21 Manashe qabilasi yeydi Efrayim qabilasini,
Efrayim esa Manasheni,
Ikkovi birlashib Yahudoga hujum qiladi.
Ammo shunday boʻlsa ham,
Egam tushmas gʻazabidan,
Uning qoʻli hamon
Isroilga qarshi koʻtarilgan.
