Isaiæ 11

1 et egredietur virga de radice Iesse et flos de radice eius ascendet

Then shall spring forth a shoot from the stem of Jesse, And a sprout grow up from his roots.

2 et requiescet super eum spiritus Domini spiritus sapientiae et intellectus spiritus consilii et fortitudinis spiritus scientiae et pietatis

The spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of the knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah,

3 et replebit eum spiritus timoris Domini non secundum visionem oculorum iudicabit neque secundum auditum aurium arguet

He shall take delight in the fear of Jehovah; He shall not judge by the sight of his eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of his ears.

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

But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, And decide with equity for the afflicted of the land; He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; With the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5 et erit iustitia cingulum lumborum eius et fides cinctorium renis eius

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

6 habitabit lupus cum agno et pardus cum hedo accubabit vitulus et leo et ovis simul morabuntur et puer parvulus minabit eos

Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb, And the leopard shall lie down with the kid; The calf, and the young lion, and the fatling shall be together, And a little child shall lead them.

7 vitulus et ursus pascentur simul requiescent catuli eorum et leo quasi bos comedet paleas

The cow and the bear shall feed together, Together shall their young lie down, And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 et delectabitur infans ab ubere super foramine aspidis et in caverna reguli qui ablactatus fuerit manum suam mittet

The suckling shall play upon the hole of the asp, And the near-weaned child lay his hand on the hiding-place of the basilisk.

9 non nocebunt et non occident in universo monte sancto meo quia repleta est terra scientia Domini sicut aquae maris operientes

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; For the land shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah, As the waters cover the depths of the sea.

10 in die illa radix Iesse qui stat in signum populorum ipsum gentes deprecabuntur et erit sepulchrum eius gloriosum

In that day shall the shoot of Jesse stand as a banner to the nations, And to him shall the gentiles repair, And his dwelling-place shall 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

In that day shall Jehovah the second time stretch forth his hand To recover the remnant of his people, That remaineth, from Assyria, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from Ethiopia, and from Elam, And from Shinar, and from Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.

12 et levabit signum in nationes et congregabit profugos Israhel et dispersos Iuda colliget a quattuor plagis terrae

He shall set up a banner to the nations, And gather the outcasts of Israel, And bring together the dispersed of Judah, From the four extremities of the earth.

13 et auferetur zelus Ephraim et hostes Iuda peribunt Ephraim non aemulabitur Iudam et Iudas non pugnabit contra Ephraim

Then shall the jealousy of Ephraim depart, And the enmity in Judah be at an end; Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, And Judah shall not contend with Ephraim.

14 et volabunt in umeros Philisthim per mare simul praedabuntur filios orientis Idumea et Moab praeceptum manus eorum et filii Ammon oboedientes erunt

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines at the sea; Together shall they plunder the children of the East; On Edom and Moab shall they lay their hand, And the sons of Ammon shall be subject to them.

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

Then will Jehovah utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea, And shake his hand over the river with a mighty wind, And smite it into seven streams, So that men may go over it dry-shod.

16 et erit via residuo populo meo qui relinquetur ab Assyriis sicut fuit Israhel in die qua ascendit de terra Aegypti

And it shall be a highway for the remnant of the people, Which shall remain, from Assyria, As there was to Israel, When he came up from the land of Egypt.
