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。
A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
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。【
The LORD’s Spirit will 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。
His delight will be in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by 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 he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
5 正義將是他腰間的束帶，忠誠將是他脅下的佩帶。
Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
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 will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will 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。
The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will 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。
The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s 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 will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will 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。
It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will 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。
It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, 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。
He will set up a banner for the nations, and will 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 will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute 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。
They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will 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。
The LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in 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。
There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
