以賽亞書 11
1 從耶西的本必發一條； 從他根生的枝子必結果實。
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 耶和華的靈必住在他身上， 就是使他有智慧和聰明的靈， 謀略和能力的靈， 知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。
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 他必以敬畏耶和華為樂； 行審判不憑眼見， 斷是非也不憑耳聞；
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 卻要以公義審判貧窮人， 以正直判斷世上的謙卑人， 以口中的杖擊打世界， 以嘴裏的氣殺戮惡人。
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.
5 公義必當他的腰帶； 信實必當他脅下的帶子。
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 豺狼必與綿羊羔同居， 豹子與山羊羔同臥； 少壯獅子與牛犢並肥畜同群； 小孩子要牽引牠們。
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 牛必與熊同食； 牛犢必與小熊同臥； 獅子必吃草，與牛一樣。
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； 斷奶的嬰兒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 在我聖山的遍處， 這一切都不傷人，不害物； 因為認識耶和華的知識要充滿遍地， 好像水充滿洋海一般。
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，耶西的根立作萬民的大旗；外邦人必尋求他，他安息之所大有榮耀。
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 當那日，主必二次伸手救回自己百姓中所餘剩的，就是在亞述、埃及、巴忒羅、古實、以攔、示拿、哈馬，並眾海島所剩下的。
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 他必向列國豎立大旗， 招回以色列被趕散的人， 又從地的四方聚集分散的猶大人。
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 以法蓮的嫉妒就必消散； 擾害猶大的必被剪除。 以法蓮必不嫉妒猶大， 猶大也不擾害以法蓮。
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 他們要向西飛， 撲在非利士人的肩頭上， 一同擄掠東方人， 伸手按住以東和摩押； 亞捫人也必順服他們。
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 耶和華必使埃及海汊枯乾， 掄手用暴熱的風使大河分為七條， 令人過去不致濕腳。
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 為主餘剩的百姓， 就是從亞述剩下回來的， 必有一條大道， 如當日以色列從埃及地上來一樣。
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.
