Yeshayah 9:2-7
Orthodox Jewish Bible
2 (1) The people that walked in choshech have seen an Ohr gadol; they that dwell in the eretz tzalmavet, upon them hath the Ohr dawned.
3 (2) Thou shalt multiply the Goy (Nation), and increase its simchah; they joy before Thee according to the simchat baKatzir, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 (3) For Thou hast broken the ol (yoke) of his burden, and the mateh (staff) of his shoulder, the shevet hanogesh (rod of the task master) of him, as in the yom of Midyan [See Judges 7:25).
5 (4) For every boot of the tramping warrior in the battle’s tumult, and simlah (garments) megolalah (rolled) in damim (blood) shall be for burning and ma’acholet eish (food for fire).
6 (5) For unto us a yeled is born, unto us ben is given; and the misrah (dominion) shall be upon his shoulder; and Shmo shall be called Peleh (Wonderful), Yoetz (Counsellor), El Gibbor (Mighty G-d), Avi Ad (Possessor of Eternity), Sar Shalom (Prince of Peace).
7 (6) Of the increase of his misrah and shalom there shall be no ketz (end), upon the Kisse Dovid, and upon his kingdom, to strengthen it, and to support it with mishpat and with tzedakah from henceforth even ad olam (forever). The Kinat Hashem Tzva’os will fulfill this.

Isaiah 9:2-7
New International Version
2 The people walking in darkness(A)
have seen a great light;(B)
on those living in the land of deep darkness(C)
a light has dawned.(D)
3 You have enlarged the nation(E)
and increased their joy;(F)
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder.(G)
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,(H)
you have shattered(I)
the yoke(J) that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,(K)
the rod of their oppressor.(L)
5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,(M)
will be fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a child is born,(N)
to us a son is given,(O)
and the government(P) will be on his shoulders.(Q)
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor,(R) Mighty God,(S)
Everlasting(T) Father,(U) Prince of Peace.(V)
7 Of the greatness of his government(W) and peace(X)
there will be no end.(Y)
He will reign(Z) on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice(AA) and righteousness(AB)
from that time on and forever.(AC)
The zeal(AD) of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
