Isaías 11
1 Un brote saldrá del tronco de Isaí, y una rama de sus raíces dará fruto.
[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 El Espíritu de Yahvé descansará sobre él: el espíritu de la sabiduría y el entendimiento, el espíritu del consejo y la fuerza, el espíritu del conocimiento y del temor de Yahvé.
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 Su deleite estará en el temor de Yahvé. No juzgará por la vista de sus ojos, ni decidir por el oído;
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 pero juzgará a los pobres con justicia, y decide con equidad para los humildes de la tierra. Golpeará la tierra con la vara de su boca; y con el aliento de sus labios matará a los malvados.
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 La justicia será el cinturón de su cintura, y la fidelidad el cinturón alrededor de su cintura.
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 El lobo vivirá con el cordero, y el leopardo se acostará con el cabrito, el ternero, el león joven y el ternero cebado juntos; y un niño pequeño los guiará.
[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 La vaca y el oso pastarán. Sus crías se acostarán juntas. El león comerá paja como el buey.
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 El niño lactante jugará cerca del agujero de una cobra, y el niño destetado pondrá su mano en la guarida de la víbora.
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 No harán daño ni destruirán en todo mi santo monte; porque la tierra estará llena del conocimiento de Yahvé, como las aguas cubren el mar.
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 Sucederá en ese día que las naciones buscarán la raíz de Isaí, que se erige como estandarte de los pueblos; y su lugar de descanso será glorioso.
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 Sucederá en ese día que el Señor volverá a poner su mano por segunda vez para recuperar el remanente que queda de su pueblo de Asiria, de Egipto, de Patros, de Cus, de Elam, de Sinar, de Hamat y de las islas del mar.
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 Él levantará un estandarte para las naciones, y reunirá a los desterrados de Israel, y reunirá a los dispersos de Judá desde los cuatro rincones de la tierra.
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 También la envidia de Efraín se alejará, y los que persiguen a Judá serán eliminados. Efraín no envidiará a Judá, y Judá no perseguirá a Efraín.
[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 Volarán sobre los hombros de los filisteos en el oeste. Juntos saquearán a los hijos del este. Extenderán su poder sobre Edom y Moab, y los hijos de Amón les obedecerán.
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 El Señor destruirá por completo la lengua del mar egipcio, y con su viento abrasador agitará su mano sobre el río, lo dividirá en siete arroyos y hará que los hombres marchen con sandalias.
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 Habrá un camino para el remanente que quede de su pueblo desde Asiria, como lo hubo para Israel el día que subió de la tierra de Egipto.
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.
