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.
Del tronco de Isaí saldrá un brote, y de sus raíces una rama que dará fruto.
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.
Descansará sobre él el Espíritu del Señor, que es Espíritu de sabiduría y de entendimiento, Espíritu de consejo y de poder, Espíritu de conocimiento y de temor del Señor.
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].
Su felicidad consistirá en reverenciar al Señor. No juzgará por lo que ve, ni tomará decisiones basadas en lo que oye.
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].
En cambio, juzgará a los pobres con justicia, y tomará decisiones justas en favor de los desamparados de la tierra. Golpeará la tierra cuando pronuncie el juicio, y ejecutará a los malvados con sólo una palabra de sus labios.
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].
Llevará la bondad como una faja y la confianza como un cinturón.
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.
Los lobos vivirán con los corderos; los leopardos se acostarán con los cabritos, los terneros y los leones jóvenes y el ganado joven estarán juntos, y un niño pequeño los guiará.
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.
Las vacas y los osos pastarán juntos; los leones jóvenes comerán paja como el ganado.
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].
Los bebés podrán jugar sin peligro cerca de los agujeros de las serpientes, los niños pequeños podrán meter las manos en la guarida de las víboras.
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.
Nada causará daño ni perjuicio en ninguna parte de mi santo monte, porque la tierra estará llena del conocimiento del Señor, de la misma manera que el agua llena el mar.
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.
En ese momento la raíz de Isaí se erigirá como un estandarte para las naciones. Los extranjeros vendrán a él, y el lugar donde vive será glorioso.
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.
En ese momento el Señor actuará por segunda vez para hacer volver al resto de su pueblo de Asiria, Egipto, Patros, Etiopía, Elam, Babilonia, Hamat y de las islas del Mediterráneo.
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].
Levantará un estandarte para las naciones y reunirá al pueblo exiliado de Israel; reunirá al pueblo disperso de Judá desde los confines de la tierra.
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.
Los celos de Efraín desaparecerán y los enemigos de Judá serán destruidos; Efraín no tendrá celos de Judá y Judá no tratará a Efraín como enemigo.
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.
Juntos volarán cuesta abajo para atacar a los filisteos del oeste; saquearán a los pueblos del este. Derrotarán a Edom y a Moab, y los amonitas se convertirán en sus súbditos.
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].
El Señor dividirá el Golfo de Suez; agitará su mano sobre el río Éufrates creando un viento abrasador. Se dividirá en siete corrientes que la gente podrá cruzar fácilmente a pie.
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.
Habrá una carretera desde Asiria para el remanente de su pueblo que quede, como la hubo para Israel cuando salió de la tierra de Egipto.
