Esias 11
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root:
Keturunan Raja Daud seperti pohon yang sudah ditebang. Tetapi sebagaimana dari tunggul tumbuh tunas baru, demikian pula dari keturunan Daud akan muncul seorang raja.
2 and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him;
Kuasa TUHAN akan membimbing dia, menjadikan dia berbudi dan bijaksana, cakap mengambil keputusan dan melaksanakannya; mengenal kehendak Allah dan takwa kepada-Nya.
3 the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report:
Kesukaannya yaitu taat kepada TUHAN. Ia tidak mengadili sekilas pandang atau berdasarkan kata orang.
4 but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one.
Orang miskin dihakiminya dengan adil, orang tak berdaya dibelanya dengan jujur; orang bersalah dihukum atas perintahnya, orang jahat ditumpasnya.
5 And he shall have his loins girt with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.
Ia bertindak dengan adil dan setia dalam segala-galanya.
6 And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.
Serigala akan tinggal bersama domba, macan tutul berbaring di samping kambing. Anak sapi akan merumput bersama anak singa, dan anak kecil menggiring mereka.
7 And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Sapi akan makan rumput bersama beruang, anak-anaknya berbaring bersama-sama. Singa makan jerami seperti sapi.
8 And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.
Bahkan seorang bayi takkan cedera bila bermain dekat ular berbisa.
9 And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any one on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas.
Di Sion, Bukit Suci Allah, tak ada yang jahat atau merusak. Negeri akan penuh pengetahuan tentang Allah, seperti air memenuhi lautan.
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious.
Saatnya akan tiba seorang raja keturunan Daud menjadi pusat perhatian bangsa-bangsa. Mereka akan datang kepadanya, dan tempat kediamannya akan disanjung-sanjung.
11 And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again shew his hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia.
Pada hari itu TUHAN akan sekali lagi memakai kekuasaan-Nya dan membawa pulang umat-Nya yang tersisa di Asyur dan Mesir, di negeri-negeri Patros, Sudan dan Elam, di Babel, Hamat dan pulau-pulau yang jauh.
12 And he shall lift up a standard for the nations, and he shall gather the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Juda from the four corners of the earth.
TUHAN akan menaikkan sebuah panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa. Itulah tandanya Ia mengumpulkan kembali bangsa Israel dan Yehuda yang terserak di segala penjuru bumi dan membawa mereka pulang.
13 And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Juda shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Juda, and Juda shall not afflict Ephraim.
Kerajaan Israel tidak lagi iri hati kepada Yehuda, dan Yehuda tidak lagi memusuhi Israel.
14 And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Idumea: and they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall first obey [them.]
Mereka bersama-sama akan menyerang orang Filistin di barat dan merampasi bangsa-bangsa di timur. Mereka akan menaklukkan bangsa Edom dan Moab, dan bangsa Amon akan tunduk kepada mereka.
15 And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall smite the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.
TUHAN akan mengeringkan Teluk Suez. Ia membuat angin panas bertiup sehingga Sungai Efrat menjadi tujuh batang air yang dangkal, dan setiap orang dapat menyeberanginya dengan berkasut.
16 And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt.
Bagi umat-Nya yang tersisa akan ada jalan raya untuk keluar dari Asyur, seperti pada waktu Israel keluar dari Mesir.
