Isaayyaas 11
1 Lataan tokko jirma Isseey irraa ni lata; hidda isaa irraas dameen tokko ija naqata.
[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 Hafuurri Waaqayyoo, Hafuurri ogummaatii fi hubannaa, Hafuurri gorsaatii fi humnaa, Hafuurri beekumsaatii fi kan Waaqayyoon sodaachuu isa irra qubata;
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 inni Waaqayyoon sodaachuutti ni gammada. Inni waanuma iji isaa arguun murtii hin kennu; yookaan waanuma gurra isaatiin dhagaʼuun hin murteessu;
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 garuu nama rakkataaf qajeelummaadhaan murteessa; hiyyeeyyii lafa irraatiifis murtii qajeelaadhaan murtii kenna. Inni ulee afaan isaatiin lafa rukuta; hafuura afaan isaatii baʼuun hamoota ni fixa.
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 Qajeelummaan teepha mudhii isaa ti; amanamummaan immoo sabbata mudhii isaa ti.
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 Yeeyyiin xobbaallaa hoolaa wajjin jiraata; qeerransi ilmoo reʼee bira ciisa; jabbiin, leencii fi horiin gabbataan walii wajjin bobbaʼu; mucaan xinnaan isaan bobbaasa.
[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 Saan amaaketa wajjin soorata; ilmaan isaanii wal cina ciciisu; leencis akka sangaa cidii nyaata.
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 Daaʼimni boolla bofaa irra taphata; mucaan xinnaan boolla buutii keessa harka kaaʼa.
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 Isaan tulluuwwan koo qulqulloota hunda irratti waa hin miidhan yookaan waa hin balleessan; akkuma bishaan galaana guutu sana lafti Waaqayyoon beekuudhaan guutamtiitii.
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 Bara sana keessa hiddi Isseey akkuma faajjiitti uummataaf dhaabata; saboonni gara isaatti walitti qabamu; lafti inni boqotus ulfina qabeessa taʼa.
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 Gaafas Gooftaan yeroo lammaffaaf harka isaa diriirsee Asoor irraa, Gibxi Gadii irraa, Gibxi Olii irraa, Itoophiyaa irraa, Eelaam irraa, Baabilon irraa, Hamaatii fi biyyoota bishaan gidduu galaanaa irraa hambaawwan saba isaa walitti qabata.
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 Inni sabootaaf faajjii ol kaasee boojiʼamtoota Israaʼel walitti qaba; inni roga laafaa afran irraa saba Yihuudaa kan bittinnaaʼee ture walitti qaba.
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 Hinaaffaan Efreem ni bada; diinonni Yihuudaas ni barbadeeffamu; Efreem gaafas Yihuudaatti hin hinaafu; yookaan Yihuudaan Efreemitti hin hammaatu.
[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 Isaan karaa lixa biiftuutiin gatiittii Filisxeemitti gad buʼu; tokko taʼaniis uummata baʼa biiftuu saamu. Isaan Edoomii fi Moʼaabin qabatu; warri Amoonis isaan jalatti bulu.
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 Waaqayyo guutumaan guutuutti, galoo galaana Gibxi ni gogsa; inni bubbee isaa kan nama waxaluun harka isaa laga Efraaxiis irra sochoosa. Akka namoonni kopheen ceʼaniifis inni laga torbatti gargar isa qooda.
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 Akkuma gaafa isaan Gibxii baʼan Israaʼeliif taʼe sana, hambaa saba isaa kan Asoor irraa hafeef karaan guddaan ni argama.
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.
