但那些受過痛苦的人必不再遇見黑暗。從前，耶和華使西布倫人和拿弗他利人住的地方受人藐視，日後必使這些地方，即約旦河對岸、沿海一帶、外族人居住的加利利得到榮耀。

但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗。从前神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，末后却使这沿海的路，约旦河外，外邦人的加利利地得着荣耀。

但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗。从前上帝使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，末后却使这沿海的路，约旦河东，外邦人居住的加利利地得荣耀。

但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗。从前神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，末后却使这沿海的路，约旦河东，外邦人居住的加利利地得荣耀。

但那些受过痛苦的人必不再遇见黑暗。从前，耶和华使西布伦人和拿弗他利人住的地方受人藐视，日后必使这些地方，即约旦河对岸、沿海一带、外族人居住的加利利得到荣耀。

但那受过困苦的，必不再见幽暗。以前神使西布伦和拿弗他利地被轻视，日后却要使它们在沿海之路、约旦河外和外族人的加利利，得着荣耀。（本节在《马索拉文本》为8:23）

然而，那曾经在痛苦之中的，必不再幽暗。先前神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，日后却要使沿海的路、约旦河的对岸、外邦人的加利利得着荣耀——

但那受過痛苦的必不再見幽暗。從前神使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被藐視，末後卻使這沿海的路，約旦河外，外邦人的加利利地得着榮耀。

但那受過痛苦的必不再見幽暗。從前上帝使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被藐視，末後卻使這沿海的路，約旦河東，外邦人居住的加利利地得榮耀。

但那受過痛苦的必不再見幽暗。從前神使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被藐視，末後卻使這沿海的路，約旦河東，外邦人居住的加利利地得榮耀。

但那受過困苦的，必不再見幽暗。以前神使西布倫和拿弗他利地被輕視，日後卻要使它們在沿海之路、約旦河外和外族人的加利利，得著榮耀。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為8:23）

但那受過困苦的必不再在烏暗中。先前時候上帝使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被輕看，後來卻使這沿海的道路、約但河外、外國人的加利利得到光榮。

然而，那曾經在痛苦之中的，必不再幽暗。先前神使西布倫地和拿弗他利地被藐視，日後卻要使沿海的路、約旦河的對岸、外邦人的加利利得著榮耀——

昔受痛苦者、將免幽暗、上帝昔使西布倫與拿弗他利地受辱、後將使沿海之路、約但河外、列邦之境得榮、

越在疇昔、西布倫、納大利、沿海之地、約但河上、異邦之加利利、此數邑者、屢被凌辱、迄於後日、不遘艱難、必得榮顯、

今國雖受苦、必不永居幽暗、昔時主使西布倫拿弗他利受凌辱、其後主又使沿海之地、約但河濱、異族之迦利利、復得尊榮、

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—

But there won’t be any more sadness for those who were suffering. In the past the Lord brought shame on the land of Zebulun. He also brought shame on the land of Naphtali. But in days to come he will honor Galilee, where people from other nations live. He will honor the land along the Mediterranean Sea. And he will honor the territory east of the Jordan River.

But there will be no 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 glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

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.

Nevertheless, the gloom of the distressed land will not be like that of the former times when he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali. But in the future he will bring honor to the way of the sea, to the land east of the Jordan, and to Galilee of the nations.

But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He will make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

Nevertheless 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.

But there shall be no gloom to her that 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 hath he made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

Nevertheless, the gloom of the distressed land will not be like that of the former times when He humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali. But in the future He will bring honor to the Way of the Sea, to the land east of the Jordan, and to Galilee of the nations.

Nevertheless the dimness[ shall] not[ be] such as[ was] in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict[ her by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

( 8: 23) The gloom will be dispelled for those who were anxious. In earlier times he humiliated the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali; but now he brings honor to the way of the sea, the region beyond the Jordan, and Galilee of the nations.

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.

「西布倫、拿弗他利、沿海一帶及約旦河東、外族人居住的加利利啊！你們住在黑暗中的人看見了大光，活在死亡陰影下的人被光照亮了！」

以色列王比加執政期間，亞述王提革拉·毗列色來犯，奪取了以雲、亞伯·伯·瑪迦、亞挪、基低斯和夏瑣，佔領了基列、加利利及拿弗他利全境，把那裡的居民擄往亞述。

他們抬頭望天，低頭看地，看到的盡是患難、痛苦和黑暗。他們必被扔進黑暗中。

便·哈達接受了亞撒王的提議，派將領攻打以色列的城邑，攻佔了以雲、但、亞伯·瑪音和拿弗他利所有的儲貨城。

我也要與你們作對，用比先前嚴重七倍的災難擊打你們。

「我們之間應立盟約，像我們的父親之間立約一樣，現在奉上金銀為禮，請你取消與以色列王巴沙立的盟約。這樣，他就會從我境內退兵。」便·哈達接受了亞撒王的提議，派將領攻打以色列的城邑，攻佔了以雲、但、亞伯·伯·瑪迦、基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全境。

因此，以色列的上帝驅使亞述王普勒，即提革拉·毗尼色，把呂便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半個支派的人擄到哈臘、哈博、哈拉和歌散河邊，他們至今還在那裡。

亞述王攻打以色列全境，並圍困撒瑪利亞三年。何細亞執政第九年，撒瑪利亞淪陷。亞述王把以色列人擄到亞述，安置在哈臘、歌散的哈博河一帶以及瑪代人的各城。

我也要與你們作對，向你們發烈怒，把比先前嚴厲七倍的懲罰加在你們身上。
