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.
Moto ya nzete ekobima na mobimbi ya Izayi; wuta na misisa na ye, Etape moko ekobota mbuma.
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.
Molimo na Yawe akowumela na likolo na Ye: Molimo ya bwanya mpe ya mayele, Molimo ya toli mpe ya nguya, Molimo ya boyebi mpe ya kotosa Yawe;
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].
esengo na ye ekozala na kotosa Yawe. Akokata makambo ndenge emonanaka na libanda te to mpe akozwa mikano te kolanda biyoka-yoka;
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].
kasi akokata makambo ya bato bakelela na bosembo mpe akozwa mikano ya sembo mpo na babola ya mokili. Akobeta mokili fimbu na maloba na ye mpe akoboma bato mabe na pema ya monoko na ye.
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].
Bosembo ekozala mokaba na ye, mpe boyengebene ekozala na loketo na ye lokola mokaba oyo bamemelaka bibundeli.
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.
Mbwa ya zamba ekovanda esika moko na mwana meme, nkoyi ekolala esika moko na mwana ntaba; mwana ngombe ya mobali, mwana nkosi mpe banyama ya mafuta ekolia esika moko, bongo mwana moke nde akoyeisa yango.
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.
Ngombe ya mwasi mpe ngombolo ekolia esika moko, bana na yango mpe ekolala esika moko, bongo nkosi ekolia matiti lokola ngombe.
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].
Mwana moke akosakana pene ya lidusu ya nyoka, mpe elenge mwana akokotisa loboko na ye na zala ya nyoka.
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.
Mabe to kobebisama ekosalema lisusu te na likolo nyonso ya ngomba na Ngai ya bule, pamba te mokili ekotonda na boyebi ya Yawe ndenge mayi etondaka na ebale.
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.
Na mokolo wana, bakitani ya Izayi bakotelema lokola bendele mpo na bikolo, bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakoya noki epai na bango; mpe esika na bango ya kopema ekozala na nkembo.
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.
Na mokolo wana, Nkolo akosembola loboko na Ye na mbala ya mibale mpo na kobikisa ndambo ya bato na Ye oyo babikaki wuta na Asiri, na Ejipito, na Patrosi, na Kushi, na Elami, na Shineari, na Amati mpe na bisanga ya ebale monene.
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].
Akotombola bendele mpo na bikolo mpe akosangisa bana ya Isalaele oyo bazali na bowumbu; akosangisa esika moko bato ya Yuda oyo bapalangana na mokili mobimba.
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.
Motema likunya ya Efrayimi ekosila, mpe banguna ya Yuda bakobebisama; Efrayimi akozala lisusu na motema likunya te mpo na Yuda to mpe Yuda akozala lisusu monguna ya Efrayimi te.
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.
Bakosangela elongo bato ya mboka Filisitia na bangomba mikuse ya ngambo ya weste; bakobebisa elongo bikolo ya ngambo ya este, bakokonza bato ya Edomi mpe ya Moabi, bongo bato ya Amoni bakokoma bawumbu na bango.
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].
Yawe akokawusa mayi ya eteni ya ebale oyo ekota na mabele ya Ejipito; loboko na Ye ekoningisa ebale mpe akokabola yango na biteni sambo na mopepe makasi mpo ete bato bakoka kokatisa na makolo.
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.
Nzela moko ekosalema mpo na ndambo ya bato na Ye oyo batikalaki na bomoi wuta na Asiri ndenge esalemaki tango bana ya Isalaele babimaki na Ejipito.
