以賽亞書 11

1 從耶西的本必發一條； 從他根生的枝子必結果實。

A shoot will sprout from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

2 耶和華的靈必住在他身上， 就是使他有智慧和聰明的靈， 謀略和能力的靈， 知識和敬畏耶和華的靈。

The Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of instruction and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

3 他必以敬畏耶和華為樂； 行審判不憑眼見， 斷是非也不憑耳聞；

His delight will be the fear of the Lord; he will not judge by what his eyes see, nor decide by what his ears hear.

4 卻要以公義審判貧窮人， 以正直判斷世上的謙卑人， 以口中的杖擊打世界， 以嘴裏的氣殺戮惡人。

Instead, he will judge the poor with righteousness and decide fairly 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 slay the wicked.

5 公義必當他的腰帶； 信實必當他脅下的帶子。

Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt around his hips.

6 豺狼必與綿羊羔同居， 豹子與山羊羔同臥； 少壯獅子與牛犢並肥畜同群； 小孩子要牽引牠們。

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. A little child will lead them.

7 牛必與熊同食； 牛犢必與小熊同臥； 獅子必吃草，與牛一樣。

The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 吃奶的孩子必玩耍在虺蛇的洞口； 斷奶的嬰兒必按手在毒蛇的穴上。

A baby will play over the hole of the snake, and the weaned child will put his hand on the serpent's den.

9 在我聖山的遍處， 這一切都不傷人，不害物； 因為認識耶和華的知識要充滿遍地， 好像水充滿洋海一般。

They will not hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.

10 到那日，耶西的根立作萬民的大旗；外邦人必尋求他，他安息之所大有榮耀。

On that day, the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek him out, and his resting place will be glorious.

11 當那日，主必二次伸手救回自己百姓中所餘剩的，就是在亞述、埃及、巴忒羅、古實、以攔、示拿、哈馬，並眾海島所剩下的。

On that day, the Lord will again extend his hand to recover the remnant of his people who remain in Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the islands of the sea.

12 他必向列國豎立大旗， 招回以色列被趕散的人， 又從地的四方聚集分散的猶大人。

He will set up a banner for the nations and will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

13 以法蓮的嫉妒就必消散； 擾害猶大的必被剪除。 以法蓮必不嫉妒猶大， 猶大也不擾害以法蓮。

He will turn aside the envy of Ephraim, and hostilities of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah, and Judah will no longer be hostile to Ephraim.

14 他們要向西飛， 撲在非利士人的肩頭上， 一同擄掠東方人， 伸手按住以東和摩押； 亞捫人也必順服他們。

Instead they will swoop down on the Philistine hills on the west, and together they will plunder the people of the east. They will attack Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.

15 耶和華必使埃及海汊枯乾， 掄手用暴熱的風使大河分為七條， 令人過去不致濕腳。

Yahweh will completely destroy the gulf of the Sea of Egypt. With his scorching wind he will wave his hand over the Euphrates River and will divide it into seven streams, so it can be crossed over in sandals.

16 為主餘剩的百姓， 就是從亞述剩下回來的， 必有一條大道， 如當日以色列從埃及地上來一樣。

There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that return from Assyria, as there was for Israel in their coming up from the land of Egypt.
