< 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.
ヱツサイの株より一つの芽いで その根より一つの枝はえて實をむすばん
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.
その上にヱホバの靈とどまらん これ智慧聰明の靈 謀略才能の靈 知識の靈 ヱホバをおそるるの靈なり
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].
かれはヱホバを畏るるをもて歡樂とし また目みるところによりて審判をなさず 耳きくところによりて斷定をなさず
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].
正義をもて貧しき者をさばき 公平をもて國のうちの卑しき者のために斷定をなし その口の杖をもて國をうちその口唇の氣息をもて惡人をころすべし
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].
正義はその腰の帶となり 忠信はその身のおびとならん
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.
おほかみは小羊とともにやどり 豹は小山羊とともにふし 犢 をじし 肥たる家畜ともに居てちひさき童子にみちびかれ
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.
牝牛と熊とはくひものを同にし 熊の子と牛の子とともにふし 獅はうしのごとく藁をくらひ
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].
乳兒は毒蛇のほらにたはふれ 乳ばなれの兒は手をまむしの穴にいれん
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.
斯てわが聖山のいづこにても害ふことなく傷ることなからん そは水の海をおほへるごとくヱホバをしるの知識地にみつべければなり
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.
その日ヱツサイの根たちてもろもろの民の旂となり もろもろの邦人はこれに服ひきたり榮光はそのとどまる所にあらん
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.
その日主はまたふたたび手をのべてその民ののこれる僅かのものをアツスリヤ、エジプト、パテロス、エテオピア、エラム、シナル、ハマテおよび海のしまじまより贖ひたまふべし
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].
ヱホバは國々の爲に旂をたててイスラエルの逐やられたる者をあつめ地の四極よりユダの散失たるものを集へたまはん
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.
またエフライムの猜はうせ ユダを惱ますものは斷れ エフライムはユダをそねまず ユダはエフライムを惱ますことなかるべし
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.
かれらは西なるペリシテ人の境にとびゆき相共にひがしの子輩をかすめ その手をエドムおよびモアブにのべアンモンの子孫をおのれに服はしめん
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].
ヱホバ、エジプトの海汊をからし河のうへに手をふりて熱風をふかせ その河をうちて七の小流となし 履をはきて渉らしめたまはん
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.
斯てその民ののこれる僅かのものの爲にアツスリヤより來るべき一つの大路あり 昔しイスラエルがエジプトの地よりいでし時のごとくなるべし
