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.

Y saldrá una vara del tronco de Isaí, y un renuevo retoñecerá de sus raíces.

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.

Y reposará sobre él el Espíritu de Jehová, espíritu de sabiduría y de inteligencia, espíritu de consejo y de fortaleza, espíritu de conocimiento y de temor de Jehová.

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].

Y harále entender diligente en el temor de Jehová. No juzgará según la vista de sus ojos, ni argüirá por lo que oyesen sus oídos.

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].

Mas juzgará con justicia a los pobres, y argüirá con equidad por los mansos de la tierra; y herirá la tierra con la vara de su boca, y con el espíritu de sus labios matará al impío.

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].

Y será la justicia cinta de sus lomos; y la fe cinta de sus riñones.

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.

Morará el lobo con el cordero, y el tigre con el cabrito se acostará: el becerro, y el león, y la bestia doméstica andarán juntos, y un niño los pastoreará.

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.

La vaca y la osa pacerán, sus crias se echarán juntas; y el león, como buey, comerá paja.

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].

Y jugará el niño sobre la cueva del áspid; y el recién destetado extenderá su mano sobre la caverna del basilisco.

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.

No harán mal, ni dañarán en todo mi santo monte; porque la tierra será llena de conocimiento de Jehová, como las aguas cubren la mar.

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.

Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que la raíz de Isaí, la cual estará puesta por pendón a los pueblos, será buscada de las naciones; y su holganza será gloria.

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.

Y acontecerá en aquel tiempo, que Jehová tornará a poner su mano otra vez, para poseer los restos de su pueblo, que fueron dejados de Asur, y de Egipto, y de Partia, y de Etiopía, y de Persia, y de Caldea, y de Hamat, y de las islas de la mar,

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].

Y levantará pendón a las naciones, y congregará los desterrados de Israel, y juntará los esparcidos de Judá de los cuatro cantones de la tierra.

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.

Y deshacerse ha la envidia de Efraím, y los enemigos de Judá serán talados. Efraím no tendrá envidia contra Judá, ni Judá afligirá a Efraím.

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.

Mas volarán sobre los hombros de los Filisteos al occidente: meterán también a saco a los de oriente: Edom y Moab les servirán, y los hijos de Ammón les darán obediencia.

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].

Y secará Jehová la lengua de la mar de Egipto; y levantará su mano con fortaleza de su espíritu sobre el río, y herirle ha en siete riberas, y hará que pasen por él con zapatos.

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.

Y habrá camino para los restos de su pueblo, los que quedaron de Asur, de la manera que lo hubo para Israel el día que subió de la tierra de Egipto.
