Isaya 11
1 Miti itachipukia katika mizizi ya Yese, na matawi yanayotokana na mizizi yatazaa matunda.
A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.
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.
The LORD’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
3 Furaha yake itakuwa hofu ya Bwana; hatatoa hukumu kwa kile anachokiona, wala atatoa maamuzi kwa kile anachokisikia.
His delight will be in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
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 will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
5 Haki itakuwa mkanda wa viuno kiuno chake kuzunguka mapaja yake.
Righteousness will be the belt around his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his waist.
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.
The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, the calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them.
7 Ng'ombe na dubu watachungwa pamoja. Na watoto wao watalala pamoja. Simba atakula majani kama ng'ombe.
The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
8 Mtoto atacheza juu ya chimo la nyoka, na mtoto aliyeachwa ataweka mkono wake katika pango la nyoka.
The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
9 Hawataumizwa wala kuharibiwa kwenye mlima mtakatifu; kwa maana dunia itakuwa imejaa maarifa ya Yahwe, kama maji yajaavyo kwenye bahari.
They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
10 Siku hiyo mzizi wa Yese utasimama kama bendera ya watu. Taifa litamtafuta yeye nje, na mahali pake pakupumzikia patatukuka.
It will happen in that day that the nations will seek the root of Jesse, who stands as a banner of the peoples; and his resting place will 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.
It will happen in that day that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 Ataweka bendera kwa kwa mataifa na atakusanya Waisrel waliotupwa na watu wa Juuda waliotawanyika kitika pembe nne za dunia.
He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah 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.
The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won’t envy Judah, and Judah won’t persecute 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.
They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will 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.
The LORD will utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
16 Kutakuwa na njia kuu kwa ajili ya mabaki ya watu kurudi kutoka Asiria, maana kuna Waisraeli wanaokuja kutoka nchi ya Misri.
There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
