New Living Translation

Isaiah 9:1-3 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory.

2. The people who walk in darknesswill see a great light.For those who live in a land of deep darkness,a light will shine.

3. You will enlarge the nation of Israel,and its people will rejoice.They will rejoice before youas people rejoice at the harvestand like warriors dividing the plunder.
