Isaya 11

1 Miti itachipukia katika mizizi ya Yese, na matawi yanayotokana na mizizi yatazaa matunda.

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

2 Na roho wa Bwana atashuka juu yake, roho wa hekima na maelewano, roho ya maelekezo na ukuu, roho ya maarifa na hofu ya Yahwe.

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 Furaha yake itakuwa hofu ya Bwana; hatatoa hukumu kwa kile anachokiona, wala atatoa maamuzi kwa kile anachokisikia.

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

4 Badala yake atawahukumu masikini kwa haki na atafanya maamuzi kwa usawa na unyenyekevu. Ataamurisha mgomo wa dunia kwa fimbo ya mdomo wake, na punzi ya midomo yake, atawauwa 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 wa viuno kiuno chake kuzunguka mapaja yake.

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

6 Mbwa mwitu atakaa pamoja na kondoo, na chui watalala chini pamoja na mtoto wa mbuzi, ndama, mtoto wa simba na ndama pamoja na ndama aliyenona. Mtoto mdogo atawaongoza wao.

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 Ng'ombe na dubu watachungwa pamoja. Na watoto wao watalala pamoja. Simba atakula majani kama ng'ombe.

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 atacheza juu ya chimo la nyoka, na mtoto aliyeachwa ataweka mkono wake katika pango la nyoka.

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

9 Hawataumizwa wala kuharibiwa kwenye mlima mtakatifu; kwa maana dunia itakuwa imejaa maarifa ya Yahwe, kama maji yajaavyo kwenye 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 Siku hiyo mzizi wa Yese utasimama kama bendera ya watu. Taifa litamtafuta yeye nje, na mahali pake pakupumzikia patatukuka.

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 Siku hiyo, Bwana ataunyoosha mkono wake tena kuokoa mabaki ya watu wake yaliyosalia huko Asiria, Misri, Pathrosi, Kushi, Shinari, Hamathi, na kisiwa cha bahari.

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 Ataweka bendera kwa kwa mataifa na atakusanya Waisrel waliotupwa na watu wa Juuda waliotawanyika kitika 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 Ataujeuza wivu wa Efraimu, na ukatili wa Yuda utakomeshwa. Efraimu atamuonea wivu Yuda, Yuda hatakuwa adui wa Efraimu tena.

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 Badala yake, watashuka chini kwenye mlima wa Wafilisti upande wa magharibi, na pamoja watateka watu mashariki. Watavamia Edomu na Moabu, na watu wa Amoni watawatii wao.

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 Yahwe atauharibu kabisa ghuba ya bahari ya Misri. Kwa mawimbi makali ambayo yanavuma juu ya mtoto Efurate na itagawanyika katika mifereji saba, hivyo unaweza ukapita juu kwa 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 Kutakuwa na njia kuu kwa ajili ya mabaki ya watu kurudi kutoka Asiria, maana kuna Waisraeli wanaokuja kutoka nchi ya 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.
