< اشعیا 11 >

کُندۀ خاندان داوود جوانه خواهد زد! بله، از ریشهٔ کهنۀ آن شاخه‌ای تازه میوه خواهد داد. 1
[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.
روح خداوند بر آن شاخه قرار خواهد گرفت، یعنی روح حکمت و فهم، روح مشورت و قوت، و روح شناخت و ترس از خداوند. 2
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.
تمام خوشی او در اطاعت از خداوند خواهد بود. او بر اساس آنچه دیده یا شنیده می‌شود داوری نخواهد کرد؛ 3
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].
بلکه از حق فقرا و مظلومان دفاع خواهد کرد. جهان را به عصای دهانش خواهد زد و بدکاران را به نَفَس لبهایش هلاک خواهد کرد. 4
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].
عدالت را همچون کمربند به کمر خواهد بست و حقیقت را مانند شال کمر. 5
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].
در آن زمان گرگ و بره در کنار هم به سر خواهند برد، پلنگ و بزغاله با هم خواهند خوابید، گوساله با شیر راه خواهد رفت؛ و یک کودک آنها را به هر جا که بخواهد، خواهد راند. 6
[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.
گاو در کنار خرس خواهد چرید، بچه خرس و گوساله در کنار هم خواهند خوابید، و شیر مانند گاو علف خواهد خورد. 7
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.
بچهٔ شیرخوار در میان مارها، بدون خطر بازی خواهد کرد؛ و طفلی که از شیر گرفته شده باشد دست خود را داخل لانهٔ افعی خواهد کرد بی‌آنکه آسیب ببیند. 8
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].
هیچ بدی و گزندی در کوه مقدّس خدا وجود نخواهد داشت، زیرا همان‌گونه که دریا از آب پر است همچنان جهان از شناخت خداوند پر خواهد شد. 9
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.
در آن روز، وارث تخت داوود پرچم نجاتی برای تمام قومها خواهد بود و مردم به سوی او خواهند آمد و سرزمین او از شکوه و جلال پر خواهد شد. 10
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.
در آن زمان خداوند بار دیگر دست خود را دراز خواهد کرد و بازماندگان قوم خود را از آشور، مصر، سودان، حبشه، عیلام، بابِل، حمات، و از تمام جزایر و بنادر دور دست به اسرائیل باز خواهد آورد. 11
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.
او در میان قومها پرچمی برخواهد افراشت و مردم اسرائیل و یهودا را که پراکنده شده‌اند، از گوشه و کنار دنیا جمع خواهد کرد. 12
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].
سرانجام دشمنی و کینه‌ای که میان اسرائیل و یهودا بود از بین خواهد رفت و آن دو دیگر با هم نخواهند جنگید. 13
[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.
آنان با هم متحد شده، بر فلسطینیان که در غرب هستند یورش خواهند برد و اقوامی را که در شرق سکونت دارند غارت خواهند کرد. سرزمین ادوم و موآب را تصرف خواهند کرد و سرزمین عمون را مطیع خود خواهند ساخت. 14
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.
خداوند خلیج دریای مصر را خشک خواهد ساخت و دست خود را بر رود فرات بلند خواهد کرد و باد تندی خواهد فرستاد تا آن را به هفت نهر تقسیم کند؛ آنگاه مردم را از آن خشکی عبور خواهد داد. 15
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].
برای بازماندگان قوم او در آشور شاهراهی خواهد بود تا آنان مانند اجداد خود که از مصر بیرون آمدند، به سرزمین خود بازگردند. 16
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.
