U-Isaya 11
1 Kuzavela-ke uGatsha esidindini sikaJese, leHlumela likhule empandeni zakhe.
A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse [My husband], and a netzer ·branch· out of his roots will bear fruit.
2 LoMoya weNkosi uzahlala phezu kwakhe, uMoya wenhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, uMoya weseluleko lowamandla, uMoya wolwazi lowokwesaba iNkosi.
Ruach Yahweh [Spirit of He sustains breathing] will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Adonai.
3 Lephunga lakhe lizakuba sekuyesabeni iNkosi; kayikwahlulela ngokubona kwamehlo akhe, njalo kayikukhuza ngokuzwa kwezindlebe zakhe;
His delight will be in the fear of Adonai. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
4 kodwa uzakwahlulela abayanga ngokulunga, akhuze abathobekileyo bomhlaba ngobuqotho; njalo uzatshaya umhlaba ngentonga yomlomo wakhe, langomoya wendebe zakhe uzabulala okhohlakeleyo.
but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity 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 kill the wicked.
5 Njalo ukulunga kuzakuba libhanti lokhalo lwakhe, lobuqotho bube libhanti lokhalo lwakhe.
Justice will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his waist.
6 Lempisi izahlala lewundlu, njalo ingwe ilale lezinyane; lethole, lebhongo lesilwane, lokunonisiweyo ndawonye; lomfana omncinyane uzakuqhuba.
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; and a little child will lead them.
7 Inkomokazi lebhere kuzakudla; amathole akho alale ndawonye; lesilwane sizakudla amahlanga njengenkabi.
The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Lomunyayo uzadlalela phezu komlindi wenhlangwana, lolunyuliweyo afake isandla sakhe emlindini wephimpi.
The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9 Kabayikwenza okubi, njalo kabayikona entabeni yami yonke engcwele; ngoba umhlaba uzagcwala ulwazi lweNkosi njengamanzi esibekela ulwandle.
They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Adonai, as the waters cover the sea.
10 Langalolosuku kuzakuba lempande kaJese ezakuma ibe luphawu ezizweni; izizwe zizadinga kuyo, lendawo yayo yokuphumula ibe lodumo.
It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse [My husband], who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will be kavod ·weighty glorious·.
11 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku iNkosi isebenzise isandla sayo futhi ngokwesibili ukubuyisa insali yabantu bayo, ezasala ivela eAsiriya leGibhithe lePatrosi leEthiyophiya leElamu leShinari leHamathi lezihlengeni zolwandle.
It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria [Level plain], from Egypt [Abode of slavery], from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Izaphakamisela izizwe uphawu, ibuthe abaxotshiweyo bakoIsrayeli, iqoqe abahlakazekileyo bakoJuda, bevela ezingonsini zozine zomhlaba.
He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel [God prevails], and gather together the dispersed of Judah [Praised] from the four corners of the earth.
13 Lomhawu kaEfrayimi uzasuka, lezitha zakoJuda zizaqunywa; uEfrayimi kayikuba lomona ngoJuda, loJuda kayikucindezela uEfrayimi.
The envy also of Ephraim [Fruit] will depart, and those who persecute Judah [Praised] will be cut off. Ephraim [Fruit] won’t envy Judah [Praised], and Judah [Praised] won’t persecute Ephraim [Fruit].
14 Kodwa bazaphapha phezu kwehlombe lamaFilisti ngentshonalanga; kanyekanye baphange abantwana bempumalanga; bazakwelulela isandla sabo kuEdoma loMowabi; labantwana bakoAmoni babalalele.
They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)] on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom [Red] and Moab [From father], and the children of Ammon [Tribal people] will obey them.
15 LeNkosi izatshabalalisa ulimi lolwandle lweGibhithe, inyikinye isandla sayo phezu komfula ngamandla omoya wayo, iwutshaye ube yizifudlana eziyisikhombisa, ibenze bachaphe ngamanyathela.
Adonai will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt [Abode of slavery]; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
16 Kuzakuba khona umgwaqo omkhulu wensali yabantu bakhe abaseleyo bevela eAsiriya, njengalokhu kwakunjalo kuIsrayeli ngosuku lokwenyuka kwakhe elizweni leGibhithe.
There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria [Level plain], like there was for Israel [God prevails] in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
