Yeşaya 11

¹Ve Yesse'nin kökünden bir asa çıkacak ve kökünden bir çiçek yükselecek.

²Ve Tanrı'nın Ruhu onun üzerine konacak; bilgelik ve anlayış ruhu, öğüt ve güç ruhu, bilgi ve dindarlık ruhu.

³Tanrı korkusu ruhu onu dolduracak. O, dış görkemine göre yargılamayacak ve kulaktan dolma söze göre azarlamayacak.

⁴Aksine, mazluma adaletle hükmedecek ve yeryüzünün alçakgönüllüleri lehine karar verecek; yeryüzünü ağzının sözüyle vuracak ve dudaklarının soluğuyla tanrısızı yok edecek.

⁵Beli doğrulukla kuşanmış olacak ve böğrü gerçeklikle sarılacak.

⁶Ve kurt kuzuyla birlikte otlayacak, pars oğlakla birlikte yatacak; buzağı, boğa ve aslan birlikte otlatılacak ve onları küçük bir çocuk güdecek.

⁷Sığırla ayı birlikte otlayacak, yavruları bir arada olacak; aslan da sığır gibi saman yiyecek.

⁸Ve sütten kesilmemiş bebek engereklerin deliği üzerine, küçük çocuk da engerek yavrularının yuvasına elini uzatacak.

⁹Ve kutsal dağımın hiçbir yerinde zarar vermeyecekler, kimseyi yok edemeyecekler; çünkü sular denizleri nasıl kaplıyorsa, bütün yeryüzü de Rab'bi bilmekle dolduruldu.

¹⁰Ve o gün Yesse'nin kökü ve ulusları yönetmek için ayağa kalkan ortaya çıkacak; uluslar O'na umut bağlayacak ve O'nun dinleneceği yer onur olacak.

¹¹Ve o gün Rab, halkından geriye kalanları, yani Asurlulardan, Mısır'dan, Babil'den, Etiyopya'dan, Elamlılardan, güneşin doğuşundan ve Arabistan'dan geriye kalacak olanları gayretle sahiplenmek için elini tekrar gösterecek.

¹²Uluslar için bir sancak kaldıracak, İsrail'in kaybolmuş olanlarını toplayacak ve Yahuda'nın dağılmış halkını yeryüzünün dört bir köşesinden bir araya getirecek.

¹³Efrayim'in kıskançlığı ortadan kaldırılacak, Yahuda'nın düşmanları yok olacak; Efrayim Yahuda'yı kıskanmayacak, Yahuda da Efrayim'i sıkıştırmayacak.

¹⁴Ve yabancıların gemileriyle denizi uçarak aşacaklar, güneşin doğuşundakileri ve İdumeya'yı birlikte yağmalayacaklar; önce Moav'a el koyacaklar, Ammon oğulları da ilk önce onlara boyun eğecek.

¹⁵Ve Rab Mısır denizini kurutacak, şiddetli bir rüzgarla elini nehrin üzerine kaldıracak; onu yedi vadiye bölecek, öyle ki insanlar oradan çarıkla geçebilecekler.

¹⁶Mısır'da geriye kalan halkım için bir geçiş yolu olacak; tıpkı İsrail'in Mısır topraklarından çıktığı gün olduğu gibi.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐξελεύσεται ῥάβδος ἐκ τῆς ρίζης ᾿Ιεσσαί, καὶ ἄνθος ἐκ τῆς ρίζης ἀναβήσεται.

²καὶ ἀναπαύσεται ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ, πνεῦμα σοφίας καὶ συνέσεως, πνεῦμα βουλῆς καὶ ἰσχύος, πνεῦμα γνώσεως καὶ εὐσεβείας·

³ἐμπλήσει αὐτὸν πνεῦμα φόβου Θεοῦ. οὐ κατὰ τὴν δόξαν κρινεῖ οὐδὲ κατὰ τὴν λαλιὰν ἐλέγξει,

⁴ἀλλὰ κρινεῖ ταπεινῷ κρίσιν καὶ ἐλέγξει τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τῆς γῆς· καὶ πατάξει γῆν τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πνεύματι διὰ χειλέων ἀνελεῖ ἀσεβῆ·

⁵καὶ ἔσται δικαιοσύνῃ ἐζωσμένος τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀληθείᾳ εἰλημένος τὰς πλευράς.

⁶καὶ συμβοσκηθήσεται λύκος μετ᾿ ἀρνός, καὶ πάρδαλις συναναπαύσεται ἐρίφω, καὶ μοσχάριον καὶ ταῦρος καὶ λέων ἅμα βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ παιδίον μικρὸν ἄξει αὐτούς·

⁷καὶ βοῦς καὶ ἄρκος ἅμα βοσκηθήσονται, καὶ ἅμα τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν ἔσονται, καὶ λέων καὶ βοῦς ἅμα φάγονται ἄχυρα.

⁸καὶ παιδίον νήπιον ἐπὶ τρώγλην ἀσπίδων καὶ ἐπὶ κοίτην ἐκγόνων ἀσπίδων τὴν χεῖρα ἐπιβαλεῖ.

⁹καὶ οὐ μὴ κακοποιήσουσιν, οὐδὲ μὴ δύνωνται ἀπολέσαι οὐδένα ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου, ὅτι ἐνεπλήσθη ἡ σύμπασα τοῦ γνῶναι τὸν Κύριον ὡς ὕδωρ πολὺ κατακαλύψαι θαλάσσας.

¹⁰Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἡ ρίζα τοῦ ᾿Ιεσσαὶ καὶ ὁ ἀνιστάμενος ἄρχειν ἐθνῶν, ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ ἔθνη ἐλπιοῦσι, καὶ ἔσται ἡ ἀνάπαυσις αὐτοῦ τιμή.

¹¹καὶ ἔσται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνη προσθήσει Κύριος τοῦ δεῖξαι τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τοῦ ζηλῶσαι τὸ καταλειφθὲν ὑπόλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ, ὃ ἂν καταλειφθῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ᾿Ασσυρίων καὶ ἀπὸ Αἰγύπτου καὶ Βαβυλωνίας καὶ Αἰθιοπίας καὶ ἀπὸ ᾿Ελαμιτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ ἡλίου ἀνατολῶν καὶ ἐξ ᾿Αραβίας.

¹²καὶ ἀρεῖ σημεῖον εἰς τὰ ἔθνη καὶ συνάξει τοὺς ἀπολομένους ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ τοὺς διεσπαρμένους τοῦ ᾿Ιούδα συνάξει ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων πτερύγων τῆς γῆς.

¹³ἀφαιρεθήσεται ὁ ζῆλος ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ ᾿Ιούδα ἀπολοῦνται· ᾿Εφραὶμ οὐ ζηλώσει ᾿Ιούδαν, καὶ ᾿Ιούδας οὐ θλίψει ᾿Εφραίμ.

¹⁴καὶ πετασθήσονται ἐν πλοίοις ἀλλοφύλων θάλασσαν, ἅμα προνομεύσουσι καὶ τοὺς ἀφ᾿ ἡλίου ἀνατολῶν καὶ ᾿Ιδουμαίαν· καὶ ἐπὶ Μωὰβ πρῶτον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπιβαλοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν πρῶτοι ὑπακούσονται.

¹⁵καὶ ἐρημώσει Κύριος τὴν θάλασσαν Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν ποταμὸν πνεύματι βιαίῳ καὶ πατάξει ἑπτὰ φάραγγας, ὥστε διαπορεύεσθαι αὐτὸν ἐν ὑποδήμασι·

¹⁶καὶ ἔσται δίοδος τῷ καταλειφθέντι μου λαῷ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ ἔσται τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα ὅτε ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

¹And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root:

²and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him;

³the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report:

⁴but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one.

⁵And he shall have his loins girt with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth.

⁶And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.

⁷And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

⁸And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps.

⁹And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any one on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas.

¹⁰And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious.

¹¹And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again shew his hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia.

¹²And he shall lift up a standard for the nations, and he shall gather the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Juda from the four corners of the earth.

¹³And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Juda shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Juda, and Juda shall not afflict Ephraim.

¹⁴And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Idumea: and they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall first obey [them]

¹⁵And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall smite the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod.

¹⁶And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt.
