Isaiah 9:1 in Context — Isaiah 9
1 Le peuple qui marchait dans les ténèbres Voit une grande lumière; Sur ceux qui habitaient le pays de l’ombre de la mort Une lumière resplendit.
2 Tu rends le peuple nombreux, Tu lui accordes de grandes joies; Il se réjouit devant toi, comme on se réjouit à la moisson, Comme on pousse des cris d’allégresse au partage du butin.
3 Car le joug qui pesait sur lui, Le bâton qui frappait son dos, La verge de celui qui l’opprimait, Tu les brises, comme à la journée de Madian.
