Isaías 11
Traducción en lenguaje actual
Un reinado de paz y justicia
11 »Si de un tronco viejo sale un retoño,
también de la familia de David
saldrá un nuevo rey.
2 El espíritu de Dios estará sobre él
y le dará sabiduría,
inteligencia y prudencia.
Será un rey poderoso,
y conocerá y obedecerá a Dios.
3 »No juzgará por las apariencias,
ni se guiará por los rumores,
pues su alegría será obedecer a Dios.
4 Defenderá a los pobres
y hará justicia a los indefensos.
Castigará a los violentos,
y hará morir a los malvados.
Su palabra se convertirá en ley.
5 Siempre hará triunfar la justicia y la verdad.
6 »Cuando llegue ese día,
el lobo y el cordero se llevarán bien,
el tigre y el cabrito descansarán juntos,
el ternero y el león crecerán uno junto al otro
y se dejarán guiar por un niño pequeño.
7 La vaca y la osa serán amigas,
sus crías descansarán juntas,
y el león y el buey comerán pasto juntos.
8 El niño jugará con la serpiente
y meterá la mano en su nido.
9 En la Jerusalén de aquel día
no habrá nadie que haga daño,
porque todos conocerán a Dios,
y ese conocimiento llenará todo el país,
así como el agua llena el mar.
10 »Cuando llegue ese día,
subirá al trono un descendiente de David,
y juntará a todas las naciones.
Su país alcanzará la fama y el poder.
11 »Entonces, Dios hará que vuelva
todo su pueblo dispersado
en los países de:
Asiria,
Egipto,
Patros,
Etiopía,
Elam,
Sinar,
Hamat,
y las islas del mar.
12 »Reunirá a las naciones
y a los refugiados
de Israel y de Judá,
que fueron esparcidos por todo el mundo.
13 »Ya no habrá celos entre Israel y Judá,
ni tampoco serán enemigos.
14 Juntos atacarán a los filisteos
que viven en la costa del Mediterráneo.
Juntos atacarán a los edomitas,
moabitas y amonitas,
que viven al otro lado del río Jordán.
15 Dios secará el Mar de los Juncos.
Enviará un viento caluroso
sobre el río Éufrates,
y lo dividirá en siete arroyos
para que lo puedan cruzar a pie.
16 Así como hubo un camino para Israel
cuando salió de Egipto,
habrá un camino de regreso
para los que hayan quedado en Asiria.»
Isaiah 11
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
11 And there shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David’s father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit.(A)
2 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord—
3 And shall make Him of quick understanding, and His delight shall be in the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, neither decide by the hearing of His ears;
4 But with righteousness and justice shall He judge the poor and decide with fairness for the meek, the poor, and the downtrodden of the earth; and He shall smite the earth and the oppressor with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
6 And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatted domestic animal together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed side by side, their young shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den.
9 They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
10 And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge, and His dwelling shall be glory [His rest glorious]!(B)
11 And in that day the Lord shall again lift up His hand a second time to recover (acquire and deliver) the remnant of His people which is left, from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam [in Persia], from Shinar [Babylonia], from Hamath [in Upper Syria], and from the countries bordering on the [Mediterranean] Sea.(C)
12 And He will raise up a signal for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israel and will gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
13 The envy and jealousy of Ephraim also shall depart, and they who vex and harass Judah from outside or inside shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex and harass Ephraim.
14 But [with united forces Ephraim and Judah] will swoop down upon the shoulders of the Philistines’ [land sloping] toward the west; together they will strip the people on the east [the Arabs]. They will lay their hands upon Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will obey them.
15 And the Lord will utterly destroy (doom and dry up) the tongue of the Egyptian sea [the west fork of the Red Sea]; and with His [mighty] scorching wind He will wave His hand over the river [Nile] and will smite it into seven channels and will cause men to cross over dry-shod.
16 And there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant left of His people, as there was for Israel when they came up out of the land of Egypt.
