< Isaija 11 >

1 Ali æe izaæi šibljika iz stabla Jesejeva, i izdanak iz korijena njegova izniknuæe.
[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 na njemu æe poèivati duh Gospodnji, duh mudrosti i razuma, duh savjeta i sile, duh znanja i straha Gospodnjega.
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 mirisanje æe mu biti u strahu Gospodnjem, a neæe suditi po viðenju svojih oèiju, niti æe po èuvenju svojih ušiju karati.
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 Nego æe po pravdi suditi siromasima i po pravici karati krotke u zemlji, i udariæe zemlju prutom usta svojih, i duhom usana svojih ubiæe bezbožnika.
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 I pravda æe mu biti pojas po bedrima, i istina pojas po bocima.
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 vuk æe boraviti s jagnjetom, i ris æe ležati s jaretom, tele i laviæ i ugojeno živinèe biæe zajedno, i malo dijete vodiæe ih.
[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 I krava i medvjedica zajedno æe pasti, mlad njihova ležaæe zajedno, i lav æe jesti slamu kao vo.
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 I dijete koje sisa igraæe se nad rupom aspidinom, i dijete odbijeno od sise zavlaèiæe ruku svoju u rupu zmije vasilinske.
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 Neæe uditi ni potirati na svoj svetoj gori mojoj, jer æe zemlja biti puna poznanja Gospodnjega kao more vode što je puno.
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 I u to æe vrijeme za korijen Jesejev, koji æe biti zastava narodima, raspitivati narodi, i poèivalište njegovo biæe slavno.
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 I tada æe Gospod opet podignuti ruku svoju da zadobije ostatak naroda svojega, što ostane od Asirske i od Misira i od Patrosa i od Etiopske i od Elama i od Senara i od Emata i od ostrva morskih.
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 podignuæe zastavu narodima i prognane Izrailjeve i rasijane Judine sabraæe s èetiri kraja zemaljska,
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 I nestaæe zavisti Jefremove, i neprijatelji Judini istrijebiæe se; Jefrem neæe zavidjeti Judi, a Juda neæe zlobiti Jefremu.
[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 Nego æe složno letjeti na pleæa Filistejima k zapadu; zajedno æe plijeniti narode istoène; na Edomce i Moavce dignuæe ruke svoje, i sinovi Amonovi biæe im pokorni.
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 Gospod æe presušiti zaliv mora Misirskoga, i mahnuæe rukom svojom svrh rijeke sa silnijem vjetrom svojim, i udariæe je po sedam krakova da se može prelaziti u obuæi.
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 I biæe put ostatku naroda njegova, što ostane od Asirske, kao što je bio Izrailju kad izide iz zemlje Misirske.
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.
