< 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:
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。
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;
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。【
3 the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report:
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。
4 but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one.
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。
5 And he shall have his loins girded with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.
正義將是他腰間的束帶,忠誠將是他脅下的佩帶。
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.
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。
7 And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
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。
8 And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
11 And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again show 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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.]
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。
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 strike the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.
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。
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.
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。
