Isaya 11

1 Chipukizi litatokea kutoka shina la Yese, kutoka mizizi yake Tawi litazaa tunda.

And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root:

2 Roho wa Bwana atakaa juu yake, Roho wa hekima na wa ufahamu, Roho wa shauri na wa uweza, Roho wa maarifa na wa kumcha Bwana

and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him;

3 naye atafurahia kumcha Bwana. Hatahukumu kwa yale ayaonayo kwa macho yake, wala kuamua kwa yale ayasikiayo kwa masikio yake,

the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report:

4 bali kwa uadilifu atahukumu wahitaji, kwa haki ataamua wanyenyekevu wa dunia. Ataipiga dunia kwa fimbo ya kinywa chake, kwa pumzi ya midomo yake atawaua waovu.

but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall strike the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one.

5 Haki itakuwa mkanda wake na uaminifu utakuwa mshipi kiunoni mwake.

And he shall have his loins girded with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.

6 Mbwa mwitu ataishi pamoja na mwana-kondoo, naye chui atalala pamoja na mbuzi, ndama, mwana simba na ngʼombe wa mwaka mmoja watakaa pamoja, naye mtoto mdogo atawaongoza.

And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.

7 Ngʼombe na dubu watalisha pamoja, watoto wao watalala pamoja, na simba atakula majani makavu kama maksai.

And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

8 Mtoto mchanga atacheza karibu na shimo la nyoka, naye mtoto mdogo ataweka mkono wake kwenye kiota cha fira.

And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.

9 Hawatadhuru wala kuharibu juu ya mlima wangu mtakatifu wote, kwa kuwa dunia itajawa na kumjua Bwana kama maji yajazavyo bahari.

And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any one on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas.

10 Katika siku hiyo, Shina la Yese atasimama kama bendera kwa ajili ya mataifa. Mataifa yatakusanyika kwake, na mahali pake pa kupumzikia patakuwa utukufu.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious.

11 Katika siku hiyo Bwana atanyoosha mkono wake mara ya pili kurudisha mabaki ya watu wake waliosalia kutoka Ashuru, Misri, Pathrosi, Kushi, Elamu, Babeli, Hamathi na kutoka visiwa vya baharini.

And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again show his hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia.

12 Atainua bendera kwa mataifa na kuwakusanya Waisraeli walioko uhamishoni; atawakusanya watu wa Yuda waliotawanyika kutoka pembe nne za dunia.

And he shall lift up a standard for the nations, and he shall gather the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Juda from the four corners of the earth.

13 Wivu wa Efraimu utatoweka, na adui wa Yuda watakatiliwa mbali; Efraimu hatamwonea Yuda wivu, wala Yuda hatakuwa na uadui na Efraimu.

And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Juda shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Juda, and Juda shall not afflict Ephraim.

14 Watawashukia katika miteremko ya Wafilisti hadi upande wa magharibi, kwa pamoja watawateka watu nyara hadi upande wa mashariki. Watawapiga Edomu na Moabu, na Waamoni watatawaliwa nao.

And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Idumea: and they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall first obey [them.]

15 Bwana atakausha ghuba ya bahari ya Misri; kwa upepo mkavu ataupeleka mkono wake juu ya Mto Frati. Ataugawanya katika vijito saba ili watu waweze kuuvuka wakiwa wamevaa viatu.

And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall strike the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.

16 Itakuwepo njia kuu kwa mabaki ya watu wake wale waliosalia kutoka Ashuru, kama ilivyokuwa kwa Israeli walipopanda kutoka Misri.

And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt.
