Izajasza 11
1 I wyjdzie gałązka z pnia Jessego, a latorośl z jego korzenia wyrośnie.
[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 I spocznie na nim Duch PANA, duch mądrości i rozumu, duch rady i mocy, duch poznania i bojaźni PANA.
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 I będzie czujny w bojaźni PANA, nie będzie sądził według tego, co oczy widzą, ani karał według tego, co uszy słyszą.
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 Ale w sprawiedliwości będzie sądził ubogich, a w prawości będzie rozstrzygał sprawy cichych na ziemi. Uderzy ziemię rózgą swoich ust, a tchnieniem swoich warg zabije niegodziwego.
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 Sprawiedliwość będzie pasem jego bioder, a prawda pasem jego lędźwi.
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 I wilk będzie przebywał z barankiem, a lampart będzie leżał przy koźlęciu; także cielę i młody lew, i tuczne bydło będą razem; a małe dziecko będzie je prowadziło.
[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 Krowa i niedźwiedzica razem będą się pasły, ich młode będą leżały razem, a lew, jak wół, będzie jeść słomę.
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 Niemowlę będzie się bawić nad jamą żmii; a dziecko włoży swą rękę do nory jadowitego węża.
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 Nie będą wyrządzać krzywdy ani zabijać na całej mojej świętej górze, bo ziemia będzie napełniona poznaniem PANA, tak jak wody okrywają morze.
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 W tym dniu korzeń Jessego będzie stać jako sztandar dla narodów. Poganie będą się do niego zwracać, a jego odpoczynek będzie cudowny.
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 Stanie się też w tym dniu, że Pan ponownie wyciągnie swą rękę, aby wykupić resztkę swego ludu, który pozostanie, z Asyrii i Egiptu, z Patros i Chus, z Elamu i Szinearu, i z Chamat, i wysp morskich.
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 I podniesie sztandar dla narodów, i zgromadzi wygnańców z Izraela, a rozproszonych z Judy zbierze z czterech krańców ziemi.
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 Ustanie zazdrość Efraima, a nieprzyjaciele Judy zostaną wytraceni. Efraim nie będzie zazdrościł Judzie, a Juda nie będzie trapił Efraima;
[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 Ale polecą na ramionach Filistynów ku zachodowi, razem złupią narody na wschodzie; na Edomitów i Moabitów położą swą rękę, a synowie Amona będą im posłuszni.
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 I PAN zniszczy odnogę morza Egiptu i swoim potężnym wiatrem potrząśnie swoją ręką nad rzeką, uderzy jej siedem strumieni i sprawi, że będą przez nią przechodzić w obuwiu.
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 Tak powstanie droga dla resztki jego ludu, który pozostanie z Asyrii, jak powstała dla Izraela w tym dniu, kiedy wychodził z ziemi Egiptu.
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.
