Isaiah 11
1 [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.
从耶西的本必发一条； 从他根生的枝子必结果实。
2 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.
耶和华的灵必住在他身上， 就是使他有智慧和聪明的灵， 谋略和能力的灵， 知识和敬畏耶和华的灵。
3 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].
他必以敬畏耶和华为乐； 行审判不凭眼见， 断是非也不凭耳闻；
4 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].
却要以公义审判贫穷人， 以正直判断世上的谦卑人， 以口中的杖击打世界， 以嘴里的气杀戮恶人。
5 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].
公义必当他的腰带； 信实必当他胁下的带子。
6 [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.
豺狼必与绵羊羔同居， 豹子与山羊羔同卧； 少壮狮子与牛犊并肥畜同群； 小孩子要牵引它们。
7 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.
牛必与熊同食； 牛犊必与小熊同卧； 狮子必吃草，与牛一样。
8 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].
吃奶的孩子必玩耍在虺蛇的洞口； 断奶的婴儿必按手在毒蛇的穴上。
9 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.
在我圣山的遍处， 这一切都不伤人，不害物； 因为认识耶和华的知识要充满遍地， 好像水充满洋海一般。
10 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.
到那日，耶西的根立作万民的大旗；外邦人必寻求他，他安息之所大有荣耀。
11 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.
当那日，主必二次伸手救回自己百姓中所余剩的，就是在亚述、埃及、巴忒罗、古实、以拦、示拿、哈马，并众海岛所剩下的。
12 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].
他必向列国竖立大旗， 招回以色列被赶散的人， 又从地的四方聚集分散的犹大人。
13 [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.
以法莲的嫉妒就必消散； 扰害犹大的必被剪除。 以法莲必不嫉妒犹大， 犹大也不扰害以法莲。
14 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.
他们要向西飞， 扑在非利士人的肩头上， 一同掳掠东方人， 伸手按住以东和摩押； 亚扪人也必顺服他们。
15 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].
耶和华必使埃及海汊枯干， 抡手用暴热的风使大河分为七条， 令人过去不致湿脚。
16 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.
为主余剩的百姓， 就是从亚述剩下回来的， 必有一条大道， 如当日以色列从埃及地上来一样。
