Ang Mapayapang Kaharian

11 Naputol(A) na tulad ng punongkahoy, ang paghahari ng anak ni Jesse.
    Ngunit katulad ng pag-usbong ng mga bagong sanga sa pinutol na puno, sa lahi niya'y lilitaw ang isang bagong hari.

Mananahan sa kanya ang Espiritu[a] ni Yahweh,
    ang espiritu ng karunungan at pang-unawa,
    ng mabuting payo at kalakasan,
    kaalaman at pagsunod at paggalang kay Yahweh.
Kagalakan niya ang sumunod at gumalang kay Yahweh.
Hindi siya hahatol ayon sa kanyang nakita,
    o magpapasya batay sa kanyang narinig.
Ngunit(B) hahatulan niya ng buong katuwiran ang mga dukha,
    at ipagtatanggol ang karapatan ng mga kaawa-awa.
Tulad ng pamalo ang kanyang mga salita,
    sa hatol niya'y mamamatay ang masasama.
Maghahari(C) siyang may katarungan,
    at mamamahala ng may katapatan.

Maninirahan(D) ang asong-gubat sa piling ng kordero,
    mahihiga ang leopardo sa tabi ng batang kambing,
magkasamang manginginain ang guya at ang batang leon,
    at ang mag-aalaga sa kanila'y isang batang paslit.
Ang baka at ang oso'y magkasamang manginginain,
    ang mga anak nila'y mahihigang magkakatabi,
ang leon ay kakain ng damo tulad ng baka.
Maglalaro ang sanggol sa tabi ng lungga ng ahas,
    hindi mapapahamak ang batang munti kahit pa isuot nito ang kanyang kamay sa lungga ng ulupong.
Walang(E) mananakit o mamiminsala
    sa nasasaklaw ng aking bundok na pinagpala;
sapagkat ang buong mundo ay mapupuno ng mga taong kumikilala kay Yahweh,
    kung paanong ang karagatan ay napupuno ng tubig.

Ang Pagbabalik ng mga Itinapon

10 Sa(F) araw na iyon, lilitaw ang isang hari mula sa angkan ni Jesse,
    at ito ang magiging palatandaan para sa mga bansa.
Ang mga bansa'y tutungo sa banal na lunsod upang siya'y parangalan.
11 Sa araw na iyon, muling kikilos ang Panginoon
    upang pauwiin ang mga nalabi sa kanyang bayan na mga bihag sa Asiria, sa Egipto, sa Patros, sa Etiopia,[b] sa Elam,
    sa Sinar, sa Hamat at sa mga pulo sa karagatan.
12 Magbibigay siya ng isang palatandaan sa mga bansa,
    at titipunin niya ang mga anak nina Israel at Juda na itinapon sa ibang lupain.
Pauuwiin ang mga nangalat na anak ni Juda
    mula sa apat na sulok ng daigdig.
13 Mapapawi na ang pagkainggit ng Israel,
    at mapuputol na ang pagkamarahas ng Juda.
Hindi na maninibugho ang Israel sa Juda,
    at hindi na kakalabanin ng Juda ang Israel.
14 Lulusubin nila ang mga Filisteo sa kanluran
    at magkasama nilang sasamsamin ang ari-arian, ang mga bansa sa silangan;
sasakupin nila ang Edom at Moab,
    at susundin sila ng mga Ammonita.
15 Tutuyuin(G) ni Yahweh ang Dagat ng Egipto,
at magpapadala siya ng mainit na hangin
    upang tuyuin ang Ilog Eufrates.
Ang matitira lang ay pitong maliliit na batis
    na tatawiran ng mga tao.
16 At magkakaroon ng isang malapad na daan mula sa Asiria
    para sa mga nalabi sa kanyang bayan,
kung paanong ang Israel ay may nadaanan
    nang sila'y umalis mula sa Egipto.

The Righteous Reign of the Branch

11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of (A)Jesse,
    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
And (B)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 the fear of the Lord.
And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
(C)He shall not judge by (D)what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by (E)what his ears hear,
but (F)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall (G)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and (H)with the breath of his lips (I)he shall kill the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
    and (J)faithfulness the belt of his loins.

(K)The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
(L)They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all (M)my holy mountain;
(N)for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day (O)the root of (P)Jesse, who shall stand as (Q)a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

11 (R)In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, (S)from Assyria, (T)from Egypt, from (U)Pathros, from (V)Cush,[a] from (W)Elam, from (X)Shinar, from (Y)Hamath, and from (Z)the coastlands of the sea.

12 He will raise (AA)a signal for the nations
    and will assemble (AB)the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.
13 (AC)The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
    and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 (AD)But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
    and together they shall plunder (AE)the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand (AF)against (AG)Edom and (AH)Moab,
    and (AI)the Ammonites shall obey them.
15 And the Lord will utterly destroy[b]
    (AJ)the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over (AK)the River[c]
    with his scorching breath,[d]
and strike it into seven channels,
    and he will lead people across in sandals.
16 And there will be (AL)a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that remains of his people,
(AM)as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Reign of the Davidic King

11 Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse,(A)
and a branch(B) from his roots will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him(C)
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
His delight will be in the fear of the Lord.
He will not judge
by what He sees with His eyes,(D)
He will not execute justice
by what He hears with His ears,
but He will judge the poor righteously(E)
and execute justice for the oppressed of the land.
He will strike the land
with discipline[a] from His mouth,(F)
and He will kill the wicked(G)
with a command[b] from His lips.(H)
Righteousness will be a belt around His loins;(I)
faithfulness will be a belt around His waist.(J)
The wolf will live with the lamb,(K)
and the leopard will lie down with the goat.
The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together,
and a child will lead them.
The cow and the bear will graze,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit,
and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.
None will harm or destroy another
on My entire holy mountain,
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the Lord
as the sea is filled with water.(L)

Israel Regathered

10 On that day the root of Jesse(M)
will stand as a banner for the peoples.(N)
The nations will seek Him,(O)
and His resting place will be glorious.(P)

11 On that day(Q) the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover—from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and the coasts and islands of the west—the remnant of His people who survive.(R)

12 He will lift up a banner for the nations
and gather the dispersed of Israel;(S)
He will collect the scattered of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.(T)
13 Ephraim’s envy will cease;(U)
Judah’s harassment will end.
Ephraim will no longer be envious of Judah,
and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
14 But they will swoop down
on the Philistine flank to the west.
Together they will plunder the people of the east.(V)
They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.(W)
15 The Lord will divide[c][d] the Gulf of Suez.[e]
He will wave His hand over the Euphrates
with His mighty wind(X)
and will split it into seven streams,
letting people walk through on foot.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant of His people
who will survive from Assyria,(Y)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from the land of Egypt.(Z)
