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.
Yon boujon va vòltije soti nan chouk Jessé a e yon branch ki sòti nan rasin li, va bay anpil fwi.
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.
Lespri SENYÈ a va poze sou Li, lespri a sajès ak bon konprann, lespri a konsèy ak pwisans lan, lespri a konesans ak lakrent SENYÈ a.
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].
Li va pran plezi nan lakrent SENYÈ a. Li p ap jije selon sa ke zye l wè, ni fè yon desizyon pa sa ke zòrèy li tande;
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].
men ak ladwati, Li va jije malere yo, e pran desizyon ak jistis pou aflije sou latè yo. Li va frape tè a ak baton bouch Li, e avèk souf lèv Li yo, Li va detwi mechan yo.
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].
Anplis, ladwati va sentiwon an ki antoure ren Li e fidelite va sentiwon ki pase nan senti Li a.
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.
Lou a va demere ak jèn mouton an, leyopa va kouche ak jèn kabrit la, jèn bèf la ak jèn lyon an ansanm ak bèf gra a; epi yon tigason va mennen yo.
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.
Anplis, vach la ak lous la va manje zèb nan patiraj la; pitit pa yo va kouche ansanm e lyon an va manje zèb tankou bèf la.
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].
Pitit k ap tete, va jwe bò twou koulèv anpwazone a, e pitit sevre a va mete men l sou kav vipè a.
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.
Yo p ap donmaje ni detwi nan tout mòn sen Mwen an, paske latè va ranpli ak konesans SENYÈ a, tankou dlo kouvri lanmè a.
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.
Nan jou sa a, nasyon yo va retounen vè rasin a Jessé a, ki va kanpe tankou yon sinyal pou pèp la. Epi plas repo Li a va ranpli ak laglwa.
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.
Li va vin rive nan jou sa a ke SENYÈ a va ranmase yon dezyèm fwa ak men Li, retay a pèp Li a ki rete soti Assyrie Égypte, Pathros, Cush, Élam Schinear, ak Hamath ak devan lil lanmè yo.
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].
Li va leve yon drapo pou nasyon yo, rasanble egzile Israël yo, e Li va rasanble dispèse Juda ki soti nan kat kwen latè yo.
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.
Jalouzi Éphraïm nan va fini, e sila ki twouble Juda va koupe retire nèt. Éphraïm p ap jalou a Juda e Juda p ap twouble Éphraïm.
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.
Yo va desann sou pant Filisten yo vè lwès. Ansanm yo va piyaje fis a lès yo. Yo va posede Edom ak Moab e fis a Ammon yo va vin soumèt a yo menm.
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].
Konsa, SENYÈ a va detwi lang lanmè Égypte la nèt. Li va pase men L sou rivyè a ak van cho a, e Li va frape divize l an sèt flèv pou fè moun kapab travèse li pye sèk.
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.
Va gen yon gran chemen k ap sòti depi Assyrie pou retay a pèp Li, menm jan ki te genyen pou Israël nan jou ke yo te monte kite peyi Egypte la.
