1Txawm li ntawd los yuav tsis muaj kev nyuaj siab rau cov neeg uas twb raug kev txomnyem los lawm. Yav tas los nws tau coj kev txajmuag los rau xeem Xenpuloos lub tebchaws thiab xeem Nathalis lub tebchaws, tiamsis yav tom ntej no mus, txij ntua ntawm ntug dej hiavtxwv Meditelanes sab hnubtuaj mus txog ntua lub tebchaws uas nyob sab ntug Dej Yauladees tim ub, thiab pem Kalilais uas cov neeg txawv tebchaws nyob, nws yuav ua kom lawv rov tau ntsejmuag.
2Cov neeg uas taug kev tsaus ntuj nti tau pom kev kaj nrig. Lawv nyob hauv lub tebchaws uas tsaus ntuj nti, nimno tshav ntuj ci kaj nrig rau lawv lawm. 3Tus TSWV, koj ua rau lawv muaj kev zoo siab heev, twb yog koj pub lawv tau zoo nyob kaj siab lug. Lawv txhua tus zoo siab kawg rau tej uas koj tau ua, ib yam li cov neeg uas zoo siab thaum sau qoobloo lossis zoo siab ib yam li thaum faib tej khoom uas mus txeeb tau los. 4Rau qhov koj twb muab tus quab uas tsuam lawv xubpwg, thiab muab tus nplawm uas luag nplawm lawv nraubqaum lov lawm. 5Txhua nkawm khau uas cov tubrog rau thiab lawv cov ris tsho uas lo ntshav yuav muab sau huv tibsi coj mus hlawv. 6Muaj ib tug menyuam twb los yug hauv peb cov lawm! Vajtswv muab ib tug tub pub rau peb! Thiab nws yuav ua tus kav pab, nws lub npe yuav hu ua “Tus Tuavxam, tus uas muaj Txujci, Vajtswv tus muaj hwjchim, Vaj Leej Txiv tus uas nyob mus ibtxhis, Vajntxwv tus uas muaj kev thajyeeb.” 7Nws kev tswjhwm yuav nthuav loj zuj zus, thiab kev thajyeeb yuav muaj tsis paub kawg nyob saum Daviv lub zwmtxwv thiab thoob plaws nws lub tebchaws. Txij no mus, nws yuav txhim kho lub tebchaws thiab tswjhwm mus rau qhov tseeb thiab coj ncaj ncees mus ibtxhis tsis kawg. Tus TSWV uas muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus txiav txim siab yuav ua raws li tej no.
Tus TSWV Yuav Rau Txim Rau Cov Yixalayees
8Tus TSWV txiav txim rau Yakhauj cov xeebntxwv thiab lub tebchaws Yixalayees. 9Txhua tus neeg yuav paub zaj no, cov Efalayees thiab cov neeg uas nyob hauv lub nroog Xamalis khavtheeb hais tias, 10“Tej thwvcib twb pob tas lawm, tiamsis peb yuav muab tej pobzeb los txhim rau; twb muab tej nqaj ntoo xikamaus txiav povtseg tas lawm, tiamsis peb muab tej nqaj ntoo thuv uas khov heev los hloov.” 11Tus TSWV tshoov lawv cov yeebncuab siab kom tuaj tawmtsam lawv. 12Cov Xilias uas nyob sab hnubtuaj thiab cov Filitees uas nyob sab hnubpoob rua lawv tej qhovncauj tuaj nqos haivneeg Yixalayees. Txawm muaj li ntawd los Vajtswv tseem chim rau lawv, thiab nws txhais tes tseem rau txim rau lawv tsis tseg. 13Txawm yog tus TSWV uas muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus twb rau txim rau cov Yixalayees lawm los lawv tseem tsis zeem thiab tsis tig rov los cuag tus TSWV li. 14Tus TSWV yuav ua ib hnub txiav cov Yixalayees tej taubhau, kotw, tej nplooj toovlaj thiab nplooj tauj kom tas huv tibsi povtseg. 15Tus neeg laus thiab tus muaj meejmom yog lub taubhau, thiab cov cev Vajtswv lus uas lawv qhia tej lus dag yog tus kotw! 16Cov neeg uas coj tsoom pejxeem no twb yog cov coj lawv yuam kev thiab txhua tus uas lawv coj puavleej raug luag nqos huv tibsi lawm. 17Vim li ntawd, tus TSWV thiaj tsis zoo siab rau lawv cov tub hluas, thiab nws yuav tsis hlub cov menyuam ntsuag thiab cov pojntsuam, rau qhov txhua tus puavleej tsis hwm tus TSWV thiab muaj lub siab phem kawg li, thiab tej lus uas lawv hais puavleej yog lus phem xwb. Vim yog muaj tej no tus TSWV thiaj chim, thiab nws txhais tes tseem rau txim tsis tseg rau lawv. 18Cov neeg ua phem tej kev txhaum cig ib yam li lub cubtawg kub tej ntoo pos thiab hmab pos thiab tej toj roob hauv pes ncho pa auv niab. 19Vim tus TSWV uas muaj hwjchim loj kawg nkaus chim heev, lub tebchaws thiaj raug kub hnyiab, tej neeg thiaj zoo li cov roj uas raug hluav taws kub, tsis muaj leejtwg yuav cawm tau nws tej kwvtij li. 20Cov pejxeem thoob tebchaws xawb txhua tsav yam los noj, tiamsis tsis tsau lawv plab; lawv tseem rov noj lawv cov menyuam! 21Cov Manaxes tawmtsam cov Efalayees thiab Efalayees tawmtsam cov Manaxes, thiab ob pab no sib sau tawmtsam cov Yudas. Vim tej no tus TSWV thiaj chim heev, thiab nws txhais tes tseem rau txim tsis tseg rau lawv.

The Government of the Promised Son
1Nevertheless ⚓the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, As when at ⚓first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, And ⚓afterward more heavily oppressed her, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, In Galilee of the Gentiles. 2⚓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. 3You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice ⚓when they divide the spoil. 4For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder, The rod of his oppressor, As in the day of ⚓Midian. 5For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle, And garments rolled in blood, ⚓Will be used for burning and fuel of fire. 6⚓For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a ⚓Son is given; And ⚓the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called ⚓Wonderful, Counselor, ⚓Mighty God, Everlasting Father, ⚓Prince of Peace. 7Of the increase of His government and peace ⚓Therewillbe no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The ⚓zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
The Punishment of Samaria
8The Lord sent a word against ⚓Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel. 9All the people will know— Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria— Who say in pride and arrogance of heart: 10“The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars.” 11Therefore the Lord shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on, 12The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still. 13For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts. 14Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel, Palm branch and bulrush ⚓in one day. 15The elder and honorable, he is the head; The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail. 16For ⚓the leaders of this people cause them to err, And thosewhoare led by them are destroyed. 17Therefore the Lord ⚓will have no joy in their young men, Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows; For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks folly. ⚓For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still. 18For wickedness ⚓burns as the fire; It shall devour the briers and thorns, And kindle in the thickets of the forest; They shall mount up like rising smoke. 19Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts ⚓The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; ⚓No man shall spare his brother. 20And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand ⚓And not be satisfied; ⚓Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. 21Manasseh shalldevour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shallbe⚓against Judah. ⚓For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
