Isaias 11
1 Isang sibol ang magmumula sa ugat ni Jesse, at ang isang sanga mula sa kaniyang ugat ang magbubunga.
[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 Mapapasakanya ang espiritu ni Yahweh, espiritu ng karunungan at pang-unawa, espiritu ng paggabay at kapangyarihan, ang espiritu ng kaalaman at takot kay Yahweh.
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 Ang pagkatakot kay Yahweh ang magiging kagalakan niya; hindi siya manghahatol ayon sa nakikita ng kaniyang mga mata, ni magpapasya ayon sa naririnig ng kaniyang tainga.
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 Sa halip, hahatulan niya ang mahihirap nang makatwiran at magpapasya ng patas sa mga mapagkumbaba sa mundo. Hahampasin niya ang mundo ng pamalo ng kaniyang bibig, at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga labi, papatayin niya ang masasama.
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 Ang katuwiran ang magiging sinturon niya sa kaniyang baywang, at katapatan ang sinturon na nakasuot sa kaniyang balakang.
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 Mamumuhay ang lobo kasama ng kordero, at hihiga ang leopardo kasama ng batang kambing, guya, batang leon at pinatabang guya. Isang maliit na bata ang mamumuno sa kanila.
[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 Magkasamang kakain ang baka at oso, at magkakasamang matutulog ang kanilang mga anak. Kakain ang leon ng damo gaya ng baka.
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 Makapaglalaro ang isang sanggol sa bahay ng ahas, at mailalagay ng batang hindi na sumususo sa kaniyang ina ang kaniyang mga kamay sa lungga ng ahas.
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 Hindi nila sasaktan ni wawasakin ang lahat ng banal na bundok; dahil mapupuno ang mundo ng maraming kaalaman kay Yahweh, gaya ng tubig na binabalutan ang dagat.
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 Sa araw na iyon, titindig ang ugat ni Jesse bilang isang bandila para sa mga tao. Hahanapin siya ng mga bansa, at magiging maluwalhati ang kaniyang lugar ng kapahingahan.
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 Sa araw na iyon, muling iuunat ng Panginoon ang kaniyang kamay para mabawi ang nalabi sa kaniyang mga tao sa Asiria, Ehipto, Patros, Etiopia, Elam, Sinar, Hamat, at mga isla sa karagatan.
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 Maglalagay siya ng bandila para sa mga bansa at titipunin ang mga taga-Israel at Juda na tinapon mula sa apat na sulok ng mundo.
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 Ititigil niya ang inggit ng Efraim, at aalisin niya ang mga laban sa Juda. Hindi na maiinggit ang Efraim sa Juda, at hindi na laban ang Juda sa Efraim.
[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 Sa halip, lulusob sila sa mga burol ng Filisteo sa kanluran, at sama-sama nilang susugurin ang mga tao sa silangan. Lulusubin nila ang Edom at Moab, at susunod sa kanila ang bayan ng Ammon.
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 Lubusang wawasakin ni Yahweh ang gulpo ng dagat ng Ehipto. Sa pamamagitan ng tuyong hangin, iwawagayway niya ang kaniyang kamay sa Ilog ng Eufrates at hahatiin ito sa pitong batis, para matawiran gamit ang mga sandalyas.
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 Magkakaroon doon ng malapad na daanan para sa mga nalabing tao na bumalik mula sa Asiria, kung paanong nakadaan ang Israel palabas mula sa lupain ng Ehipto.
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.
