The verse 2 is found in chapter 9 of Isaiah. The darkness of the preceding chapters gives way to a great light over Galilee and the promise of a child whose rule will bring justice and peace. The titles attributed to the ruler present extraordinary authority, and David’s throne is established upon justice. The contrast between oppression and righteous rule prepares one of Isaiah’s great messianic portraits.

Du machst des Volkes viel; du machst groß seine Freude. Vor dir wird man sich freuen, wie man sich freut in der Ernte, wie man fröhlich ist, wenn man Beute austeilt.
El pueblo que andaba en tinieblas vio gran luz: los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz resplandeció sobre ellos.
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.
IL popolo che camminava nelle tenebre, ha veduta una gran luce; la luce è risplenduta a quelli che abitavano nella terra dell’ombra della morte.
O povo que andava em trevas, viu uma grande luz, e sobre os que habitavam na região da sombra da morte resplandeceu a luz.
在黑暗中行走的百姓看見了大光; 住在死蔭之地的人有光照耀他們。
