< 以赛亚书 11 >
1 从耶西的本必发一条; 从他根生的枝子必结果实。
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 耶和华的灵必住在他身上, 就是使他有智慧和聪明的灵, 谋略和能力的灵, 知识和敬畏耶和华的灵。
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord.
3 他必以敬畏耶和华为乐; 行审判不凭眼见, 断是非也不凭耳闻;
His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears.
4 却要以公义审判贫穷人, 以正直判断世上的谦卑人, 以口中的杖击打世界, 以嘴里的气杀戮恶人。
Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairness on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips.
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 豺狼必与绵羊羔同居, 豹子与山羊羔同卧; 少壮狮子与牛犊并肥畜同群; 小孩子要牵引它们。
Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along.
7 牛必与熊同食; 牛犊必与小熊同卧; 狮子必吃草,与牛一样。
Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle.
8 吃奶的孩子必玩耍在虺蛇的洞口; 断奶的婴儿必按手在毒蛇的穴上。
Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den.
9 在我圣山的遍处, 这一切都不伤人,不害物; 因为认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地, 好像水充满洋海一般。
Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10 到那日,耶西的根立作万民的大旗;外邦人必寻求他,他安息之所大有荣耀。
At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11 当那日,主必二次伸手救回自己百姓中所余剩的,就是在亚述、埃及、巴忒罗、古实、以拦、示拿、哈马,并众海岛所剩下的。
At that time the Lord will act a second time to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands.
12 他必向列国竖立大旗, 招回以色列被赶散的人, 又从地的四方聚集分散的犹大人。
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
13 以法莲的嫉妒就必消散; 扰害犹大的必被剪除。 以法莲必不嫉妒犹大, 犹大也不扰害以法莲。
Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy.
14 他们要向西飞, 扑在非利士人的肩头上, 一同掳掠东方人, 伸手按住以东和摩押; 亚扪人也必顺服他们。
Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects.
15 耶和华必使埃及海汊枯干, 抡手用暴热的风使大河分为七条, 令人过去不致湿脚。
The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split into seven streams that people can cross easily on foot.
16 为主余剩的百姓, 就是从亚述剩下回来的, 必有一条大道, 如当日以色列从埃及地上来一样。
There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.
