Isaiah 11
1 And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
Kuzavela-ke uGatsha esidindini sikaJese, leHlumela likhule empandeni zakhe.
2 The Spirit of YHWH has rested on Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
LoMoya weNkosi uzahlala phezu kwakhe, uMoya wenhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, uMoya weseluleko lowamandla, uMoya wolwazi lowokwesaba iNkosi.
3 To refresh Him in the fear of YHWH, And He does not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decides by the hearing of His ears.
Lephunga lakhe lizakuba sekuyesabeni iNkosi; kayikwahlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe, njalo kayikukhuza ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe;
4 And He has judged the poor in righteousness, And decided for the humble of earth in uprightness, And has struck earth with the rod of His mouth, And He puts the wicked to death with the breath of His lips.
kodwa uzakwahlulela abayanga ngokulunga, akhuze abathobekileyo bomhlaba ngobuqotho; njalo uzatshaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, langomoya wendebe zakhe uzabulala okhohlakeleyo.
5 And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
Njalo ukulunga kuzakuba libhanti lokhalo lwakhe, lobuqotho bube libhanti lokhalo lwakhe.
6 “And a wolf has sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard lies down with a kid, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are] together, And a little youth is leader over them.
Lempisi izahlala lewundlu, njalo ingwe ilale lezinyane; lethole, lebhongo lesilwane, lokunonisiweyo ndawonye; lomfana omncinyane uzakuqhuba.
7 And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
Inkomokazi lebhere kuzakudla; amathole akho alale ndawonye; lesilwane sizakudla amahlanga njengenkabi.
8 And a suckling has played by the hole of a cobra, And on the den of a viper The weaned one has put his hand.
Lomunyayo uzadlalela phezu komlindi wenhlangwana, lolunyuliweyo afake isandla sakhe emlindini wephimpi.
9 They do no evil, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth has been full with the knowledge of YHWH, As the waters are covering the sea.”
Kabayikwenza okubi, njalo kabayikona entabeni yami yonke engcwele; ngoba umhlaba uzagcwala ulwazi lweNkosi njengamanzi esibekela ulwandle.
10 And there has been, in that day, A Root of Jesse that is standing for an ensign of peoples, Nations seek Him, And His rest has been glorious!
Langalolosuku kuzakuba lempande kaJese ezakuma ibe luphawu ezizweni; izizwe zizadinga kuyo, lendawo yayo yokuphumula ibe lodumo.
11 And it has come to pass in that day, The Lord adds His power a second time, To get the remnant of His people that is left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from islands of the sea,
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi isebenzise isandla sayo futhi ngokwesibili ukubuyisa insali yabantu bayo, ezasala ivela eAsiriya leGibhithe lePatrosi leEthiyophiya leElamu leShinari leHamathi lezihlengeni zolwandle.
12 And He has lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathers the driven away of Israel, And He assembles the scattered of Judah, From the four wings of the earth.
Izaphakamisela izizwe uphawu, ibuthe abaxotshiweyo bakoIsrayeli, iqoqe abahlakazekileyo bakoJuda, bevela ezingonsini zozine zomhlaba.
13 And has turned aside the envy of Ephraim, And the adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim does not envy Judah, And Judah does not distress Ephraim.
Lomhawu kaEfrayimi uzasuka, lezitha zakoJuda zizaqunywa; uEfrayimi kayikuba lomona ngoJuda, loJuda kayikucindezela uEfrayimi.
14 And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them.
Kodwa bazaphapha phezu kwehlombe lamaFilisti ngentshonalanga; kanyekanye baphange abantwana bempumalanga; bazakwelulela isandla sabo kuEdoma loMowabi; labantwana bakoAmoni babalalele.
15 And YHWH has devoted to destruction The tongue of the Sea of Egypt, And has waved His hand over the river, In the terror of His wind, And has struck it at the seven streams, And has caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes.
LeNkosi izatshabalalisa ulimi lolwandle lweGibhithe, inyikinye isandla sayo phezu komfula ngamandla omoya wayo, iwutshaye ube yizifudlana eziyisikhombisa, ibenze bachaphe ngamanyathela.
16 And there has been a highway, For the remnant of His people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt!
Kuzakuba khona umgwaqo omkhulu wensali yabantu bakhe abaseleyo bevela eAsiriya, njengalokhu kwakunjalo kuIsrayeli ngosuku lokwenyuka kwakhe elizweni leGibhithe.
