Isaiah 9 Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
1 Antes humilló la tierra de Zabulón y la de Neftalí, pero después les dio gloria: el camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de las naciones.
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 El pueblo que caminaba en la oscuridad ha visto una gran luz. Sobre quienes vivían en la tierra de la noche más profunda brilla la luz.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
3 Los has llenado de alegría y aumentado su gozo. Se alegran ante ti como en el tiempo de la cosecha, como cuando se reparte el botín de guerra.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
4 Con tu mano has roto el yugo de su cuello y la vara de su espalda, la vara de su cruel amo, como en el día de Madián.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
5 Todas las botas del guerrero que marcha con pasos ruidosos y toda la ropa manchada de sangre serán quemadas, servirán de combustible para el fuego.
5 For all the armor of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
6 Nos ha llegado un niño, nos ha sido dado un hijo, y el gobierno ha quedado en sus manos. Lo han llamado Consejero Sabio, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Su gobierno y la paz aumentarán sin fin sobre el trono de David y en su reino. Lo establecerá y sostendrá con decisiones sabias y justicia, desde ahora y para siempre. La firme decisión del Señor de los ejércitos hará que esto suceda.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.
8 El Señor ha enviado un mensaje a Jacob, y ha llegado sobre Israel.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
9 Todo el pueblo lo experimentará: Efraín y los habitantes de Samaria, que con orgullo y altivez dicen:
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 Se han caído los ladrillos, pero construiremos con piedra labrada. Han cortado los sicomoros, pero plantaremos cedros en su lugar.
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 Por eso el Señor ha fortalecido a los enemigos de Israel y los impulsa a luchar contra él:
11 Therefore Yahweh will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12 a Aram por el este y a los filisteos por el oeste, que vienen contra Israel con la boca abierta. Con todo, su ira no se ha calmado y su mano sigue extendida.
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Pero el pueblo no se volvió a quien lo castigó ni oró al Señor de los ejércitos.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought Yahweh of Armies.
14 Por eso el Señor quitó de Israel la cabeza y la cola, al alto y al bajo, en un solo día.
14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 El hombre honrado y responsable es la cabeza; el profeta que enseña mentiras es la cola.
15 The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16 Los guías de este pueblo lo desvían del buen camino, y quienes los siguen acaban destruidos.
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 Por eso el Señor no se alegrará de sus jóvenes ni tendrá compasión de sus viudas y huérfanos. Todos odian a Dios y hacen el mal, y de toda boca salen palabras necias. Con todo, su ira no se ha calmado y su mano sigue extendida.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 La maldad ardía como fuego. Consumió las zarzas y los espinos; prendió los bosques espesos, que levantaron densas nubes de humo.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 La tierra estaba oscura por la ira del Señor de los ejércitos. La gente era como quienes comen carne humana.
19 Through Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, the land is burned up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
20 Uno cortaba trozos a la derecha y seguía con hambre; otro comía a la izquierda y no quedaba satisfecho. Nadie tenía compasión de su hermano; cada uno comía la carne de su vecino.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasés devoraba a Efraín y Efraín a Manasés; juntos atacaban a Judá. Con todo, su ira no se ha calmado y su mano sigue extendida.
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
There are the following predictions: --"Unto us a child is born, and unto us a young man is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulders;" which is significant of the power of the cross, for to it, when He was crucified, He applied His shoulders, as shall be more clearly made out in the ensuing discourse.
… the foal of an ass; that He received for drink, vinegar and gall; that He was despised among the people, and humbled Himself even to death and that He is the holy Lord, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Beautiful in appearance, and the Mighty God, coming on the clouds as the Judge of all men; --all these things did the …
The Lord saw him, he concerning whom it was said, "They that sat under the shadow of death, unto them hath light arisen." What then was said to Nathanael?

… nation by a part of it, nor signifies obscurely all the tribes; mark how the Prophet distinguishes that place, saying "The land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people which sat in darkness, saw great light:" by darkness here not meaning that which is sensible, but men's errors and ungodliness.

The soul when it was deified descended into Hades, in order that, just as the Sun of Righteousness rose for those upon the earth, so likewise He might bring light to those who sit under the earth in darkness and shadow of death: in order that just as He brought the message of peace to those upon the earth, …
