Isaya 11
1 Chipukizi litatokea kutoka shina la Yese, kutoka mizizi yake Tawi litazaa tunda.
And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stem of Jesse, and a sprout shall spring out of his roots.
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 there shall rest upon him the spirit of the Lord, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;
3 naye atafurahia kumcha Bwana. Hatahukumu kwa yale ayaonayo kwa macho yake, wala kuamua kwa yale ayasikiayo kwa masikio yake,
And he shall be animated by the fear of the Lord; and not after the sight of his eyes shall he judge, and not after the hearing of his ears shall he decide;
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 with righteousness the poor, and decide with equity for the suffering ones of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 Haki itakuwa mkanda wake na uaminifu utakuwa mshipi kiunoni mwake.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his hips.
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 dwell with the sheep, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling [shall be] together, and a little boy shall lead them.
7 Ngʼombe na dubu watalisha pamoja, watoto wao watalala pamoja, na simba atakula majani makavu kama maksai.
And the cow and the she-bear shall feed, together shall their young ones lie down: and the lion shall like the ox eat straw.
8 Mtoto mchanga atacheza karibu na shimo la nyoka, naye mtoto mdogo ataweka mkono wake kwenye kiota cha fira.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and on the basilisk's den shall the weaned child stretch out his hand.
9 Hawatadhuru wala kuharibu juu ya mlima wangu mtakatifu wote, kwa kuwa dunia itajawa na kumjua Bwana kama maji yajazavyo bahari.
They shall not do hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
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 it shall happen on that day, that [he of] the root of Jesse, who shall stand as an ensign of the people, to him shall nations [come to] inquire: and his resting-place 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 happen on that day, that the Lord will put forth his hand again the second time to acquire the remnant of his people, which shall remain, from Asshur and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from 'Elam, and from Shin'ar, and from Chamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Atainua bendera kwa mataifa na kuwakusanya Waisraeli walioko uhamishoni; atawakusanya watu wa Yuda waliotawanyika kutoka pembe nne za dunia.
And he will lift up an ensign unto the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel; and the dispersed of Judah will he collect together 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 then shall depart the envy of Ephraim, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not assail 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.
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; together shall they spoil the children of the east: upon Edom and Moab shall they lay their hands; and the children of 'Ammon shall 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 will destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and swing his hand over the river with his mighty wind, and will smite it into seven streams, and render it passable with shoes.
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 highway for the remnant of his people, which shall remain from Asshur, like as it was to Israel on the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
