Isaiah 11
1 तब यिशै के ठूंठ में से एक डाली फूट निकलेगी और उसकी जड़ में से एक शाखा निकल कर फलवन्त होगी।
2 और यहोवा की आत्मा, बुद्धि और समझ की आत्मा, युक्ति और पराक्रम की आत्मा, और ज्ञान और यहोवा के भय की आत्मा उस पर ठहरी रहेगी।
3 ओर उसको यहोवा का भय सुगन्ध सा भाएगा॥ वह मुंह देखा न्याय न करेगा और न अपने कानों के सुनने के अनुसार निर्णय करेगा;
4 परन्तु वह कंगालों का न्याय धर्म से, और पृथ्वी के नम्र लोगों का निर्णय खराई से करेगा; और वह पृथ्वी को अपने वचन के सोंटे से मारेगा, और अपने फूंक के झोंके से दुष्ट को मिटा डालेगा।
5 उसकी कटि का फेंटा धर्म और उसकी कमर का फेंटा सच्चाई होगी॥
6 तब भेडिय़ा भेड़ के बच्चे के संग रहा करेगा, और चीता बकरी के बच्चे के साथ बैठा रहेगा, और बछड़ा और जवान सिंह और पाला पोसा हुआ बैल तीनों इकट्ठे रहेंगे, और एक छोटा लड़का उनकी अगुवाई करेगा।
7 गाय और रीछनी मिलकर चरेंगी, और उनके बच्चे इकट्ठे बैठेंगे; और सिंह बैल की नाईं भूसा खाया करेगा।
8 दूधपिउवा बच्चा करैत के बिल पर खेलेगा, और दूध छुड़ाया हुआ लड़का नाग के बिल में हाथ डालेगा।
9 मेरे सारे पवित्र पर्वत पर न तो कोई दु:ख देगा और न हानि करेगा; क्योंकि पृथ्वी यहोवा के ज्ञान से ऐसी भर जाएगी जैसा जल समुद्र में भरा रहता है॥
10 उस समय यिशै की जड़ देश देश के लोगों के लिये एक झण्ड़ा होगी; सब राज्यों के लोग उसे ढूंढ़ेंगें, और उसका विश्रामस्थान तेजोमय होगा॥
11 उस समय प्रभु अपना हाथ दूसरी बार बढ़ा कर बचे हुओं को, जो उसकी प्रजा के रह गए हैं, अश्शूर से, मिस्र से, पत्रोस से, कूश से, एलाम से, शिनार से, हमात से, और समुद्र के द्वीपों से मोल ले कर छुड़ाएगा।
12 वह अन्यजातियों के लिये जण्ड़ा खड़ा कर के इस्राएल के सब निकाले हुओं को, और यहूदा के सब बिखरे हुओं को पृथ्वी की चारों दिशाओं से इकट्ठा करेगा।
13 एप्रैम फिर डाह न करेगा और यहूदा के तंग करने वाले काट डाले जाएंगे; न तो एप्रैम यहूदा से डाह करेगा और न यहूदा एप्रैम को तंग करेगा।
14 परन्तु वे पश्चिम की ओर पलिश्तियों के कंधे पर जपट्टा मारेंगे, और मिल कर पूविर्यों को लूटेंगे। वे एदोम और मोआब पर हाथ बढ़ाएंगे, और अम्मोनी उनके आधीन हो जाएंगे।
15 और यहोवा मिस्र के समुद्र की खाड़ी को सुखा डालेगा, और महानद पर अपना हाथ बढ़ाकर प्रचण्ड लू से ऐसा सुखाएगा कि वह सात धार हो जाएगा, और लोग जूता पहिने हुए भी पार हो जाएंगे।
16 और उसकी प्रजा के बचे हुओं के लिये अश्शूर से एक ऐसा राज-मार्ग होगा जैसा मिस्र देश से चले आने के समय इस्राएल के लिये हुआ था॥
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
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 fear of the Lord;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
4 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 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 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 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 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 They shall not hurt nor 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 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 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord 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 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 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 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 And the Lord 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 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.
1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
4 When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
8 And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king’s princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
19 If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
20 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
22 For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
