Yesaya 11
1 Keturunan Raja Daud seperti pohon yang sudah ditebang. Tetapi sebagaimana dari tunggul tumbuh tunas baru, demikian pula dari keturunan Daud akan muncul seorang raja.
A shoot will sprout from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
2 Kuasa TUHAN akan membimbing dia, menjadikan dia berbudi dan bijaksana, cakap mengambil keputusan dan melaksanakannya; mengenal kehendak Allah dan takwa kepada-Nya.
The Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of instruction and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.
3 Kesukaannya yaitu taat kepada TUHAN. Ia tidak mengadili sekilas pandang atau berdasarkan kata orang.
His delight will be the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.
4 Orang miskin dihakiminya dengan adil, orang tak berdaya dibelanya dengan jujur; orang bersalah dihukum atas perintahnya, orang jahat ditumpasnya.
Instead, he will judge the poor with righteousness and decide fairly for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 Ia bertindak dengan adil dan setia dalam segala-galanya.
Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his hips.
6 Serigala akan tinggal bersama domba, macan tutul berbaring di samping kambing. Anak sapi akan merumput bersama anak singa, dan anak kecil menggiring mereka.
The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion and the fattened calf, together. A little child will lead them.
7 Sapi akan makan rumput bersama beruang, anak-anaknya berbaring bersama-sama. Singa makan jerami seperti sapi.
The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Bahkan seorang bayi takkan cedera bila bermain dekat ular berbisa.
A baby will play over the hole of the snake, and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's den.
9 Di Sion, Bukit Suci Allah, tak ada yang jahat atau merusak. Negeri akan penuh pengetahuan tentang Allah, seperti air memenuhi lautan.
They will not hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.
10 Saatnya akan tiba seorang raja keturunan Daud menjadi pusat perhatian bangsa-bangsa. Mereka akan datang kepadanya, dan tempat kediamannya akan disanjung-sanjung.
On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his resting place will be glorious.
11 Pada hari itu TUHAN akan sekali lagi memakai kekuasaan-Nya dan membawa pulang umat-Nya yang tersisa di Asyur dan Mesir, di negeri-negeri Patros, Sudan dan Elam, di Babel, Hamat dan pulau-pulau yang jauh.
On that day, the Lord will again extend his hand to recover the remnant of his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.
12 TUHAN akan menaikkan sebuah panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa. Itulah tandanya Ia mengumpulkan kembali bangsa Israel dan Yehuda yang terserak di segala penjuru bumi dan membawa mereka pulang.
He will set up a banner for the nations and will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 Kerajaan Israel tidak lagi iri hati kepada Yehuda, dan Yehuda tidak lagi memusuhi Israel.
He will turn aside the envy of Ephraim, and hostilities of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile to Ephraim.
14 Mereka bersama-sama akan menyerang orang Filistin di barat dan merampasi bangsa-bangsa di timur. Mereka akan menaklukkan bangsa Edom dan Moab, dan bangsa Amon akan tunduk kepada mereka.
Instead they will swoop down on the Philistine hills on the west, and together they will plunder the people of the east. They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
15 TUHAN akan mengeringkan Teluk Suez. Ia membuat angin panas bertiup sehingga Sungai Efrat menjadi tujuh batang air yang dangkal, dan setiap orang dapat menyeberanginya dengan berkasut.
Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.
16 Bagi umat-Nya yang tersisa akan ada jalan raya untuk keluar dari Asyur, seperti pada waktu Israel keluar dari Mesir.
There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria, as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
