Yesaya 11
1 Keturunan Raja Daud seperti pohon yang sudah ditebang. Tetapi sebagaimana dari tunggul tumbuh tunas baru, demikian pula dari keturunan Daud akan muncul seorang raja.
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 Kuasa TUHAN akan membimbing dia, menjadikan dia berbudi dan bijaksana, cakap mengambil keputusan dan melaksanakannya; mengenal kehendak Allah dan takwa kepada-Nya.
And the spirit of YHWH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH;
3 Kesukaannya yaitu taat kepada TUHAN. Ia tidak mengadili sekilas pandang atau berdasarkan kata orang.
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of YHWH: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 Orang miskin dihakiminya dengan adil, orang tak berdaya dibelanya dengan jujur; orang bersalah dihukum atas perintahnya, orang jahat ditumpasnya.
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 Ia bertindak dengan adil dan setia dalam segala-galanya.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 Serigala akan tinggal bersama domba, macan tutul berbaring di samping kambing. Anak sapi akan merumput bersama anak singa, dan anak kecil menggiring mereka.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 Sapi akan makan rumput bersama beruang, anak-anaknya berbaring bersama-sama. Singa makan jerami seperti sapi.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 Bahkan seorang bayi takkan cedera bila bermain dekat ular berbisa.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 Di Sion, Bukit Suci Allah, tak ada yang jahat atau merusak. Negeri akan penuh pengetahuan tentang Allah, seperti air memenuhi lautan.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.
10 Saatnya akan tiba seorang raja keturunan Daud menjadi pusat perhatian bangsa-bangsa. Mereka akan datang kepadanya, dan tempat kediamannya akan disanjung-sanjung.
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11 Pada hari itu TUHAN akan sekali lagi memakai kekuasaan-Nya dan membawa pulang umat-Nya yang tersisa di Asyur dan Mesir, di negeri-negeri Patros, Sudan dan Elam, di Babel, Hamat dan pulau-pulau yang jauh.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that YHWH shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12 TUHAN akan menaikkan sebuah panji-panji untuk bangsa-bangsa. Itulah tandanya Ia mengumpulkan kembali bangsa Israel dan Yehuda yang terserak di segala penjuru bumi dan membawa mereka pulang.
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 Kerajaan Israel tidak lagi iri hati kepada Yehuda, dan Yehuda tidak lagi memusuhi Israel.
The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 Mereka bersama-sama akan menyerang orang Filistin di barat dan merampasi bangsa-bangsa di timur. Mereka akan menaklukkan bangsa Edom dan Moab, dan bangsa Amon akan tunduk kepada mereka.
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 TUHAN akan mengeringkan Teluk Suez. Ia membuat angin panas bertiup sehingga Sungai Efrat menjadi tujuh batang air yang dangkal, dan setiap orang dapat menyeberanginya dengan berkasut.
And YHWH shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod.
16 Bagi umat-Nya yang tersisa akan ada jalan raya untuk keluar dari Asyur, seperti pada waktu Israel keluar dari Mesir.
And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
