Isaiæ 11
1 Et egredietur virga de radice Iesse, et flos de radice eius ascendet.
[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.
2 Et requiescet super eum spiritus Domini: spiritus sapientiæ, et intellectus, spiritus consilii, et fortitudinis, spiritus scientiæ, et pietatis,
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.
3 et replebit eum spiritus timoris Domini: non secundum visionem oculorum iudicabit, neque secundum auditum aurium arguet:
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].
4 sed iudicabit in iustitia pauperes, et arguet in æquitate pro mansuetis terræ: et percutiet terram virga oris sui, et spiritu labiorum suorum interficiet impium.
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].
5 Et erit iustitia cingulum lumborum eius: et fides cinctorium renum eius.
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].
6 Habitabit lupus cum agno: et pardus cum hœdo accubabit: vitulus et leo, et ovis simul morabuntur, et puer parvulus minabit eos.
[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.
7 Vitulus, et ursus pascentur: simul requiescent catuli eorum: et leo quasi bos comedet paleas.
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.
8 Et delectabitur infans ab ubere super foramine aspidis: et in caverna reguli, qui ablactatus fuerit, manum suam mittet.
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].
9 Non nocebunt, et non occident in universo monte sancto meo: quia repleta est terra scientia Domini, sicut aquæ maris operientes.
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.
10 In die illa radix Iesse, qui stat in signum populorum, ipsum gentes deprecabuntur, et erit sepulchrum eius gloriosum.
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.
11 Et erit in die illa: Adiiciet Dominus secundo manum suam ad possidendum residuum populi sui, quod relinquetur ab Assyriis, et ab Ægypto, et a Phetros, et ab Æthiopia, et ab Ælam, et a Sennaar, et ab Emath, et ab insulis maris.
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.
12 Et levabit signum in nationes, et congregabit profugos Israel, et dispersos Iuda colliget a quatuor plagis terræ.
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].
13 Et auferetur zelus Ephraim, et hostes Iuda peribunt: Ephraim non æmulabitur Iudam, et Iudas non pugnabit contra Ephraim.
[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.
14 Et volabunt in humeros Philisthiim per mare, simul prædabuntur filios Orientis: Idumæa et Moab præceptum manus eorum, et filii Ammon obedientes erunt.
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.
15 Et desolabit Dominus linguam maris Ægypti, et levabit manum suam super flumen in fortitudine spiritus sui: et percutiet eum in septem rivis, ita ut transeant per eum calceati.
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].
16 Et erit via residuo populo meo, qui relinquetur ab Assyriis: sicut fuit Israeli in die illa, qua ascendit de Terra Ægypti.
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.
