And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Er wird unter großen Völkern richten und viele Heiden strafen in fernen Landen. Sie werden ihre Schwerter zu Pflugscharen und ihre Spieße zu Sicheln machen. Es wird kein Volk wider das andere ein Schwert aufheben und werden nicht mehr kriegen lernen.
Y juzgará entre muchos pueblos, y corregirá fuertes gentes hasta muy lejos: y martillarán sus espadas para azadones, y sus lanzas para hoces: no alzará espada gente contra gente, ni más se ensayarán para la guerra.
Il sera le juge d'un grand nombre de peuples, L'arbitre de nations puissantes, lointaines. De leurs glaives ils forgeront des hoyaux, Et de leurs lances des serpes; Une nation ne tirera plus l'épée contre une autre, Et l'on n'apprendra plus la guerre.
Ed egli farà giudicio fra molti popoli, e castigherà nazioni possenti, fin ben lontano; e quelle delle loro spade fabbricheranno zappe, e delle lor lance falci; l’una nazione non leverà più la spada contro all’altra, e non impareranno più la guerra.
E julgará entre muitos povos, e castigará nações poderosas e longínquas, e converterão as suas espadas em pás, e as suas lanças em foices; uma nação não levantará a espada contra outra nação, nem aprenderão mais a guerra.
他必在許多民族中施行審判, 為遠方強盛的國斷定是非。 他們要將刀打成犁頭, 把槍打成鐮刀。 這國不舉刀攻擊那國, 他們也不再學習戰事。
