Isaiæ 11
1 et egredietur virga de radice Iesse et flos de radice eius ascendet
A shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will produce fruit.
2 et requiescet super eum spiritus Domini spiritus sapientiae et intellectus spiritus consilii et fortitudinis spiritus scientiae et pietatis
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, which is Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of advice and power, a Spirit of knowledge and awe of the Lord.
3 et replebit eum spiritus timoris Domini non secundum visionem oculorum iudicabit neque secundum auditum aurium arguet
His happiness will be in giving reverence to the Lord. He will not judge by what he sees, and he will not make decisions based on what he hears.
4 sed iudicabit in iustitia pauperes et arguet in aequitate pro mansuetis terrae et percutiet terram virga oris sui et spiritu labiorum suorum interficiet impium
Instead, he will judge the poor justly, and make decisions fairness on behalf of the destitute people of the earth. He will strike the earth when he pronounces judgment, and he will execute the wicked with just a word from his lips.
5 et erit iustitia cingulum lumborum eius et fides cinctorium renis eius
He will wear goodness like a sash and trustworthiness like a belt.
6 habitabit lupus cum agno et pardus cum hedo accubabit vitulus et leo et ovis simul morabuntur et puer parvulus minabit eos
Wolves will live with lambs; leopards will lie down with young goats, calves and young lions and young livestock will be together, and a small child will lead them along.
7 vitulus et ursus pascentur simul requiescent catuli eorum et leo quasi bos comedet paleas
Cows and bears will graze side by side; young lions will eat straw like cattle.
8 et delectabitur infans ab ubere super foramine aspidis et in caverna reguli qui ablactatus fuerit manum suam mittet
Babies will be able to play safely near snake holes, little children will be able to put their hands into a vipers' den.
9 non nocebunt et non occident in universo monte sancto meo quia repleta est terra scientia Domini sicut aquae maris operientes
Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
10 in die illa radix Iesse qui stat in signum populorum ipsum gentes deprecabuntur et erit sepulchrum eius gloriosum
At that time the root of Jesse will stand like a banner for the nations. Foreigners will come to him, and the place of where he lives will be glorious.
11 et erit in die illa adiciet Dominus secundo manum suam ad possidendum residuum populi sui quod relinquetur ab Assyriis et ab Aegypto et a Fetros et ab Aethiopia et ab Aelam et a Sennaar et ab Emath et ab insulis maris
At that time the Lord will act a second time to bring back the remnant of His people from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and from the Mediterranean islands.
12 et levabit signum in nationes et congregabit profugos Israhel et dispersos Iuda colliget a quattuor plagis terrae
He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiled people of Israel; he will bring together the scattered people of Judah from the ends of the earth.
13 et auferetur zelus Ephraim et hostes Iuda peribunt Ephraim non aemulabitur Iudam et Iudas non pugnabit contra Ephraim
Ephraim's jealousy will disappear, and Judah's enemies will be destroyed; Ephraim won't be jealous of Judah, and Judah won't treat Ephraim as an enemy.
14 et volabunt in umeros Philisthim per mare simul praedabuntur filios orientis Idumea et Moab praeceptum manus eorum et filii Ammon oboedientes erunt
Together they will fly downhill to attack the Philistines to the west; they will plunder the people of the east. They will defeat Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will become their subjects.
15 et desolabit Dominus linguam maris Aegypti et levabit manum suam super Flumen in fortitudine spiritus sui et percutiet eum in septem rivis ita ut transeant per eum calciati
The Lord will divide the Gulf of Suez; he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River creating a scorching wind. He will split into seven streams that people can cross easily on foot.
16 et erit via residuo populo meo qui relinquetur ab Assyriis sicut fuit Israhel in die qua ascendit de terra Aegypti
There will be a highway from Assyria for the remnant of his people that are left, just as there was for Israel when they left the land of Egypt.
