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.
Ary hisy Solofo mitsimoka eo amin’ ny fototr’ i Jese, ary hisy mitrebona avy eo amin’ ny fakany;
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.
Ary ny fanahin’ i Jehovah hitoetra ao aminy, dia ny Fanahin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fahazavan-tsaina; Ny Fanahin’ ny fanoloran-tsaina sy ny faherezana; Ny Fanahin’ ny fahalalana sy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah;
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].
Ary ho hanitra ankasitrahana aminy ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah, ka tsy hitsara araka ny hitan’ ny masony izy, na hampiaiky araka ny ren’ ny sofiny;
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].
Fa hotsarainy amin’ ny fahamarinana ny malahelo; Ary homeny rariny ny mpandefitra amin’ ny tany; hamely ny tany amin’ ny tsorakazon’ ny vavany Izy, ary ny fofonain’ ny molony no hamonoany ny ratsy fanahy.
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].
Fahamarinana no ho fisikinany, ary fanahy mahatoky no ho fehin-kibony
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.
Ary ny amboadia hiara-mitoetra amin’ ny zanak’ ondry; Ny leoparda hiara-mandry amin’ ny zanak’ osy; Ary ny zanak’ omby sy ny liona tanora sy ny ombikely mifahy hiray toerana, Ary ny zazakely no hiroaka azy.
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.
Ary ny ombivavy sy ny bera hiara-komana; Ny zanany hiara-mandry; Ary ny liona hihina-mololo tahaka ny omby;
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].
Ny zaza minono hilalao amin’ ny lavaky ny vipera, ary ny zaza mitsaha-nono haninjitra ny tànany ao amin’ ny lavaky ny menarana.
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.
Ary tsy handratra na hanimba eran’ ny tendrombohitro masìna izy; Fa ny tany ho henika ny fahalalana an’ i Jehovah, tahaka ny anaronan’ ny rano ny fanambanin’ ny ranomasina.
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny solofon’ i Jese, Izay hitsangana ho fanevan’ ny firenena, dia Izy no hotadiavin’ ny jentilisa; Ary ny fitoerany dia ho voninahitra.
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.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany ny Tompo dia mbola haninjitra ny tànany fanindroany hanavotra ny olony, izay mbola sisa, avy any Syria sy Egypta sy Patrosa sy Etiopia sy Elama sy Sinara sy Hamata Ary ny avy any amin’ ny moron-dranomasina.
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].
Dia hanangana faneva ho an’ ny jentilisa Izy ka hamory ny Isiraely izay voaroaka sy hanangona ny Joda izay voaely Avy any amin’ ny vazan-tany efatra.
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.
Ary hitsahatra ny fialonan’ i Efraima, ary hofongorana ny fandrafiana’ an i Joda: Efraima tsy hialona an’ i Joda, Ary Joda tsy handrafy an’ i Efraima.
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.
Fa hipaoka ny tanin’ ny Filistina any andrefana ireo sy hiara-mamabo ny zanaky ny atsinanana; amin’ i Edoma sy Moaba no haninjirany ny tanany, ary ny taranak’ i Amona hanoa azy.
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].
Ary Jehovah handritra ny sakeli-dranomasina Egyptiana ary haninjitra ny tànany amin’ ny ony ka hamely azy amin’ ny rivony mahamay Ka hampisaraka azy hisampana fito Ary hahatafita ny olona tsy miala kapa.
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.
Ary hisy lalana voavoatra halehan’ ny olony sisa, izay sisa avy any Asyria, dia toy ny ho an’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro niakarany avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
