以賽亞書 11
1 由葉瑟的樹幹將生出一個嫩枝，由它的根上將發出一個幼芽。
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 上主的神，智慧和聰敏的神，超見和剛毅的神，明達和敬畏上主的神將住在他內。【
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 他將以敬畏上主為快慰，】他必不照他眼見的施行審訊，也不按他耳聞的執行判斷。
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 他將以正義審訊微賤者，以公理判斷世上的謙卑者，以他口中的棍杖打擊暴戾者，以他唇邊的氣息誅殺邪惡者。
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 正義將是他腰間的束帶，忠誠將是他脅下的佩帶。
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 豺狼將與羔羊共處，虎豹將與小山羊同宿；牛犢和幼獅一同飼養，一個幼童即可帶領牠們。
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatted calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 母牛和母熊將一起牧放，牠們的幼雛將一同伏臥；獅子將與牛一樣吃草。
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 吃奶的嬰兒將遊戲於蝮蛇的洞口，斷奶的幼童將伸手探入毒蛇的窩穴。
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9 在我的整個聖山上，再沒有誰作惡，也沒有誰害人，因為大地充滿了對上主的認識，有如海洋滿溢海水。
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 那一日，葉瑟的根子將成為萬民的旗幟，列邦必將尋求他；他駐節之地，將是輝煌的。
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 那一日，吾主將再舉起自己的手，贖回他百姓的殘存者，即殘留於亞述、埃及、帕特洛斯、雇士、厄藍、史納爾、哈瑪特和海島上的人。
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 他將向列邦高舉旗幟，召集以色列的流徙者，由大地四極聚集猶大的離散者。
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 厄弗辣因的嫉妒必將止息，猶大的仇視勢必消滅：厄弗辣因不在忌恨猶大，猶大亦不再敵視厄弗辣因。
The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 他們將往西撲向培勒舍特的山麓，一起擄掠東方的子民；厄東和摩阿布將屬於他們的權下，阿孟子民將順服於他們。
But they shall fly on the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 上主將使埃及海灣涸竭，藉烈風向大河揮手把它分成七個支流，使人穿著鞋即可渡過。
And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over with dry sandals.
16 為他百姓的殘存者，即存留在亞述中者，將有一條大道，有如為當日由埃及地上來的以色列一樣。
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
