Isaiah 11
1 And a Rod has come out from the stock of Jesse, And a Branch is fruitful from his roots.
Miti itachipukia katika mizizi ya Yese, na matawi yanayotokana na mizizi yatazaa matunda.
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.
Na roho wa Bwana atashuka juu yake, roho wa hekima na maelewano, roho ya maelekezo na ukuu, roho ya maarifa na hofu ya Yahwe.
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.
Furaha yake itakuwa hofu ya Bwana; hatatoa hukumu kwa kile anachokiona, wala atatoa maamuzi kwa kile anachokisikia.
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.
Badala yake atawahukumu masikini kwa haki na atafanya maamuzi kwa usawa na unyenyekevu. Ataamurisha mgomo wa dunia kwa fimbo ya mdomo wake, na punzi ya midomo yake, atawauwa waovu.
5 And righteousness has been the girdle of His loins, And faithfulness—the girdle of His reins.
Haki itakuwa mkanda wa viuno kiuno chake kuzunguka mapaja yake.
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.
Mbwa mwitu atakaa pamoja na kondoo, na chui watalala chini pamoja na mtoto wa mbuzi, ndama, mtoto wa simba na ndama pamoja na ndama aliyenona. Mtoto mdogo atawaongoza wao.
7 And cow and bear feed, Together their young ones lie down, And a lion eats straw as an ox.
Ng'ombe na dubu watachungwa pamoja. Na watoto wao watalala pamoja. Simba atakula majani kama ng'ombe.
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.
Mtoto atacheza juu ya chimo la nyoka, na mtoto aliyeachwa ataweka mkono wake katika pango la nyoka.
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.”
Hawataumizwa wala kuharibiwa kwenye mlima mtakatifu; kwa maana dunia itakuwa imejaa maarifa ya Yahwe, kama maji yajaavyo kwenye bahari.
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!
Siku hiyo mzizi wa Yese utasimama kama bendera ya watu. Taifa litamtafuta yeye nje, na mahali pake pakupumzikia patatukuka.
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,
Siku hiyo, Bwana ataunyoosha mkono wake tena kuokoa mabaki ya watu wake yaliyosalia huko Asiria, Misri, Pathrosi, Kushi, Shinari, Hamathi, na kisiwa cha bahari.
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.
Ataweka bendera kwa kwa mataifa na atakusanya Waisrel waliotupwa na watu wa Juuda waliotawanyika kitika pembe nne za dunia.
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.
Ataujeuza wivu wa Efraimu, na ukatili wa Yuda utakomeshwa. Efraimu atamuonea wivu Yuda, Yuda hatakuwa adui wa Efraimu tena.
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.
Badala yake, watashuka chini kwenye mlima wa Wafilisti upande wa magharibi, na pamoja watateka watu mashariki. Watavamia Edomu na Moabu, na watu wa Amoni watawatii wao.
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.
Yahwe atauharibu kabisa ghuba ya bahari ya Misri. Kwa mawimbi makali ambayo yanavuma juu ya mtoto Efurate na itagawanyika katika mifereji saba, hivyo unaweza ukapita juu kwa viatu.
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!
Kutakuwa na njia kuu kwa ajili ya mabaki ya watu kurudi kutoka Asiria, maana kuna Waisraeli wanaokuja kutoka nchi ya Misri.
