For Unto Us A Child Is Born Unto Us A Son Is Given

The phrase "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given" is a well-known biblical passage from Isaiah 9:6 in the Old Testament. It is part of a larger prophecy that foretells the coming of a divine leader, often interpreted as a messianic prophecy in Jewish and Christian traditions. The passage is significant in Christianity as it is seen as a prophecy of the birth of Jesus Christ, celebrated during the Christmas season. In Hebrew, the phrase is translated as "כִּי-יֶלֶד יֻלַּד-לָנוּ בֵּן נִתַּן-לָנוּ" (Ki-yéled yulád lanú, ben nitán lanú). The passage has been translated into numerous languages, including Latin as "Quia natus est nobis puer, et filius datus est nobis" and into Greek as "ὅτι τέκνον τέκνισται ἡμῖν, καὶ υἱὸς ἐδόθη ἡμῖν" (Hóti téknon téknistai hēmin, kai huiós edóthē hēmin). The context of this prophecy is one of hope and deliverance, promising a leader who will bring justice and peace, a theme that resonates deeply in both Jewish and Christian theological traditions.
