< Isaiah 11 >

1 Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.
Atilɔ aɖe adze tso Yese ƒe ke me; tso eƒe ke me la, atilɔ aɖe atse ku.
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and strength, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of the LORD.
Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ anɔ eya amea dzi, nunya kple gɔmesese ƒe gbɔgbɔ; aɖaŋudede kple ŋusẽ ƒe gbɔgbɔ kple sidzedze kple Yehowavɔvɔ̃ ƒe gbɔgbɔ,
3 And He will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what His eyes see, and He will not decide by what His ears hear,
eye Yehowavɔvɔ̃ ƒe nu anyo eŋu. Madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu ɖe nu si eƒe ŋku le kpɔkpɔm la nu, alo atso nya me ɖe nu si eƒe to se la nu o,
4 but with righteousness He will judge the poor, and with equity He will decide for the lowly of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.
gake adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na ame dahewo le dzɔdzɔnyenye me, eye wòatso afia na anyigbadzihiãtɔwo ɖe eteƒe. Atsɔ eƒe numetikplɔ aƒo anyigba la, eye wòatsɔ eƒe numegbɔgbɔ atsrɔ̃ ŋutasẽlawoe.
5 Righteousness will be the belt around His hips, and faithfulness the sash around His waist.
Dzɔdzɔenyenye anye eƒe alidziblaka, eye nyateƒe anye alidziblanu le eƒe aklito.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a little child will lead them.
Amegaxi anɔ alẽvi gbɔ, lãklẽ atsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe gbɔ̃vi gbɔ bɔkɔɔ, nyivi, dzata kple nyi dami woanɔ wo nɔewo gbɔ le ŋutifafa me, eye ɖevi sue aɖe akplɔ wo.
7 The cow will graze with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
Nyinɔ aɖu gbe le sisiblisiwo dome, wo viwo atsyɔ akɔ anyi ɖe teƒe ɖeka, eye dzata gɔ̃ hã aɖu gbe abe nyitsu ene.
8 The infant will play by the cobra’s den, and the toddler will reach into the viper’s nest.
Vi nonowo ata le ƒli ƒe do nu, eye ɖevi suewo aƒo asi ɖe dakpui ƒe do me.
9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the sea is full of water.
Naneke mahe vɔ̃ alo gbegblẽ va nye to kɔkɔe blibo la dzi o, elabena sidzedze Yehowa axɔ anyigba la dzi abe ale si tsi yɔa atsiaƒu mee ene.
10 On that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, and His place of rest will be glorious.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yese ƒe ke la anye aflaga na anyigbadzitɔwo katã. Dukɔwo katã ava ƒo zi ɖe eŋu, elabena eƒe nɔƒe anye ŋutikɔkɔeteƒe.
11 On that day the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Gbe ma gbe la, Yehowa ado eƒe asi ɖa akplɔ aboyomewo tso Asiria, Dzigbe Egipte, Anyigbe Egipte, Kus, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat siwo susɔ la agbɔe zi evelia.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; He will collect the scattered of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
Atu aflaga na dukɔwo, eye wòaƒo Israelvi siwo woɖe aboyoe la nu ƒu. Aƒo Yuda ƒe vi siwo ka hlẽ ɖe xexea me ƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi la nu ƒu.
13 Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will no longer envy Judah, nor will Judah harass Ephraim.
Efraim ƒe ŋuʋaʋã nu atso, eye Yehowa atsrɔ̃ Yuda ƒe futɔwo. Efraim magaʋã ŋu Yuda o, alo Yuda nagaxaxa Israel ɖo o.
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east. They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
Mlɔeba la, wo kple eve la woaɖi aga adze Filistitɔwo dzi le ɣetoɖoƒe, eye woaha dukɔ siwo le ɣedzeƒe la. Woƒe asi asu Edom kple Moab dzi, eye Amon ƒe vi azu wo tenɔlawo.
15 The LORD will devote to destruction the gulf of the Sea of Egypt; with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand over the Euphrates. He will split it into seven streams for men to cross with dry sandals.
Yehowa ana Egipte ƒu la namie, eye wòanye eƒe asi le Frat tɔsisi dzi kple ya xɔdzo sesẽ. Amae ɖe tɔʋu adre me ale be woate ŋu atsoe kple atokota gɔ̃ hã.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.
Ale wòanye mɔtata na eƒe ame mamlɛ siwo susɔ tso Asiria abe ale si wònɔ na Israel esi wòkplɔ wo do goe tso Egipte ene.
