< Isaiah 11 >

1 [Like] [MET] a [new] shoot [often] grows from the stump [of a tree], there will be a descendant of King David who will be a new king.
Jesse ih thing tahmuih hoiah tadok tacawt ueloe, anih ih tangzun thung hoiah tanghang to tacawt tahang tih.
2 The Spirit of Yahweh will always be with him. The Spirit will enable him to be wise and to understand [much about many things]. The Spirit will enable him to decide what is good to do, and will enable him to be very powerful. The Spirit will enable him to know Yahweh and to revere him.
Angraeng ih Muithla anih nuiah om ueloe, palunghahaih Muithla hoi panoekthaihaih, khopoek thaihaih Muithla hoi thacakhaih, panoek kophaih Muithla hoi Angraeng zithaih to tawn tih;
3 He will be glad to obey Yahweh. He will not decide [whether someone is righteous or not only] by seeing what that person looks like, or by listening to [what others say about that person].
Angraeng zithaih loe anih anghoehaih ah om tih; anih loe a hnukhaih baktiah lokcaek mak ai, naa hoi thaih ih baktiah doeh lokcaek mak ai:
4 He will judge [the cases of] needy people fairly; and he will act justly toward poor people. He will punish evil people as a result of what he decides [MTY]; he will get rid of wicked people because of [MTY] [their behavior].
toe amtang kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, poek pahnaem long kaminawk hanah toenghaih hoiah lok takroek tih; thingboeng ah kaom anih pakha thung ih lok hoiah long to bop ueloe, a pahni pong ih takhi hoiah kasae kami to paduek tih.
5 He will always act righteously; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a belt [around his waist]. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will [accompany him like] [MET] a sash [around his waist].
Toenghaih loe anih ih kaengkaeh ah om ueloe, oepthohhaih loe kaengah angzaeng ih kazii ah om tih.
6 [When he becomes king], wolves and lambs will live together [peacefully]; leopards, [instead of killing] baby goats, will lie down with them. [Similarly], calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.
Tasui hoi tuucaa nawnto om ueloe, kaithlaeng doeh nawkta hoi nawnto tabok tih; maitaw caa, kaipui caa hoi kathawk moinawk nawnto pra o ueloe, nawkta ta mah nihcae to hoi tih.
7 Cows and bears will eat [together]; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will [not eat other animals]; [instead], they will eat hay like cows do.
Maitaw loe taqom hoi nawnto rawkcak caa ueloe, a caanawk doeh nawnto tabok o tih; kaipui loe maitaw tae baktiah caphaeh to caa tih.
8 Babies will play [safely] near the holes where cobra snakes [live]; small children will [even] put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, [and the snakes will not harm them].
Tahnu nae li nawkta loe pahui sae akhaw nuiah amhai ueloe, tahnu kamphi nawkta doeh pahui sae khaw nuiah ban to koeng tih.
9 No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on [Zion Hill], my holy hill; and the earth will [be filled with people who] know Yahweh like [SIM] the seas are full of water.
Kai ih kaciim mae nuiah loe nihcae nganbawh kana paekhaih hoi amrohaih to om mak ai boeh; tuinawk mah tuipui khuk o khoep baktih toengah, long loe Angraeng panoekhaih hoiah koi tih boeh.
10 At that time, a descendant of King David will [hold up] a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups [that they should gather around him]; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
To na niah loe Jesse ih tangzun to tadok ueloe, kaminawk han payang ih kahni baktiah angdoe tahang tih; Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah anih to pakrong o tih, anih anghakhaih ahmuen loe lensawkhaih hoiah om tih.
11 At that time, Yahweh will (reach out his hand/use his power) as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been (exiled from/forced to leave) Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.
To na niah loe Angraeng mah ban payangh ueloe, kanghmat angmah ih kaminawk to Assyria prae, Izip prae, Pathros prae, Kush prae, Elam prae, Shina prae, Hammath prae hoi tuipui thungah kaom kaminawk to pahlong let tih.
12 Yahweh will raise his flag among [all] the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled [long ago]. He will gather from very distant places [IDM] on the earth the people of Judah who [(had been scattered to/are living in) those places].
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk hanah kahni payang pae ueloe, haek ih Israel caanawk hoi ahmuen kruekah kamhet Judahnawk to tacuu let tih.
13 [Then], the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other [any longer], and they will no [longer] be enemies of each other.
Ephraim uthaih palung to boeng ueloe, Judah misa koehhaih doeh anghma tih boeh; Ephraim mah Judah to ut mak ai boeh, Judah mah doeh Ephraim to raihaih paek mak ai boeh.
14 Their [armies] will [join together to] attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will [defeat those nations and] take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture [the areas of] Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
Nihcae mah ni duembang ih Philistin kaminawk to patom o ueloe, ni angyae bangah kaom kaminawk ih hmuen to nawnto lomh pae o tih; Edom hoi Moab to tuh o tih, Ammon kaminawk loe nihcae khaeah ang paek o tih boeh.
15 Yahweh will make a dry road through the sea near Egypt. And [it will be as though] he will wave his hand over the [Euphrates] River and send a strong wind to cause it to divide into seven streams, with the result that people will be able to walk across [those streams].
Izip kaminawk ih tuipui palai to amrosak tih; a thacakhaih takhi hoiah a ban to vapui nuiah ahae ueloe, kaminawk mah khokpanai hoiah angkat o thai hanah, vapui to sarihto ah angphaesak tih.
16 And because he will make a highway for his people who are living in Assyria, they will be able to return [to their own land], just like [long ago] he made a path for [the people of] Israel [so that they could go through the water] when they left Egypt.
Israel caanawk Izip prae hoi angzoh o nathuem ih baktih toengah, Assyria prae ah kanghmat angmah ih kaminawk hanah caehhaih manglaih lampui to om tih.
