Isaia 11
1 Hitiry ami’ty foto’ Iisày ty singa’e, vaho hitomiry boak’am-baha’e ty tora’e.
[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.
2 Hipetak’ ama’e ty Arofo’ Iehovà, ty arofon-kihitse naho faharendrehañe, ty arofom-panoroañe naho haozarañe, ty arofon-kilala naho ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà.
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.
3 Ty fañeveñañe am’ Iehovà ro mahafale ty arofo’e. Tsy ty isam-pihaino’e ro hizaka’e, tsy ty fijanjiñan-dravembia’e ro hisafiria’e;
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].
4 Fa an-kavantañañe ro hizaka’e o rarakeo, vaho an-kahiti’e ro handilia’e o mpirèke an-tane atoio. Ho lafae’e ami’ty kobaim-palie’e i taney, le ho zamane’e ami’ty kofòm-pivimbi’e o tsereheñeo.
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].
5 Hidian-kamarentane ty vania’e vaho hiteveke figahiñañe o toha’eo.
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].
6 Hitrao-pimoneñe ty marambolo naho ty anak’añondry, hiharo fandreañe ty farasy naho ty anak’ose; hifampireketse ty sarake naho ty liona vaho ty vosy; Anak’ajaja ty hiarake iareo.
[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.
7 Hitrao-pihinañe ty añombe rene’e naho ty dobe; hiharo fandreañe o ana’ iareoo, vaho hihota-ahetse manahake ty añombe ty liona.
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.
8 Hihisa ambonen-davan-dapetake ty ajaja minono, hajo’ ty anak’ajaja an-doan-davam-boae ao ty taña’e.
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].
9 Tsy ho amy vohiko miavakey iaby ty hijoy ndra ty hamono; fa ho tsitsike ty faharendrehañe Iehovà ty tane toy, manahake ty haatsa-drano’ i riakey.
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.
10 Ie amy andro zay, hitroatse ho viloñe am’ondatio ty Vaha’ Iesày, le hipay Aze o Kilakila’ndatio, vaho ho lifots’engeñe ty toe-pitofà’e.
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.
11 Ho tondroke amy andro zay te hahiti’ i Talè fañindroe’e ty fità’e hampolia’e ty sehanga’ ondati’eo, Ty henka’ i Asore, naho ty boake Mitsraime, naho ty boake Patrose, naho ty boake Kose, naho ty boak’ Elame, naho ty boake Sinare, naho ty boake Kamate, vaho ty boak’ amo tokonose andriakeo.
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.
12 Le hampitroara’e viloñe o fifeheañeo, hatonto’e o naparatsake boak’ Israeleo, vaho havori’e o naparaitake am’ Iehodà hirik’ an-kotsok’ efa’ ty tane toio.
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].
13 Hisitake amy Efraime ty fihàña’e, naho haitoañe ty helo’ Iehodà; tsy hitsikirìke i Efraime t’Iehodà, le tsy hañembetse Iehodà t’i Efraime.
[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.
14 F’ie hitsiritsioke am-pivariña’ o nte-Pilisty ahandrefañeo; hitrao-pamaoke o anan-tatiñanañeo; songa hampitora-kitsie’ iereo fitàñe t’i Edome naho i Moabe; vaho hiambane am’ iereo t’i Amone.
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.
15 Ho mongore’ Iehovà ty lela’ i ria’ i Mitsraimey; le ami’ty tio’e mae mihoboboke ty añelahelà’e ambone’ i Oñey ty fità’e vaho ho fofohe’e ho torahañe fito, hampitsaha’e ondatio an-kana.
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].
16 Le ho ami’ty sehanga ondati’e boak’ Asoreo ty lalañe dinamoke, manahake tamy niakara’ o ana’ Israeleo i Mitsraime.
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.
