1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
1 主耶和华的灵在我身上, 因为耶和华膏了我, 叫我传福音给困苦的人; 差遣我去医治伤心的人, 向被掳的宣告自由, 向被囚的宣告释放;
2 宣告耶和华悦纳人的禧年, 和我们的 神报仇的日子; 安慰悲哀的人,
3 为锡安悲哀的人穿上装饰, 赐给他们华冠代替灰尘, 喜乐油代替悲哀, 赞美衣代替沮丧的灵, 他们必称为公义的橡树, 是耶和华栽种的, 好使他自己得着荣耀。
4 他们必重建久已废弃的荒场, 建立先前荒凉之地; 重修荒废了的城镇, 就是历代荒凉之处。
5 那时, 外人要服事你们, 牧放你们的羊群, 外族人要作你们的农夫和葡萄园丁。
6 至于你们, 却要称为耶和华的祭司, 人必称你们为我们 神的仆人; 你们要享用列国的财富, 因得着他们的荣耀而夸耀。
7 你们必得加倍的分, 代替你们所受的羞愧, 他们因自己所得的分而欢呼, 代替羞辱, 所以在他们的境内, 他们必拥有加倍的产业, 他们必有永远的喜乐。
8 因为我耶和华喜爱公平, 恨恶不义的抢夺; 我要凭真理赏赐他们, 与他们立永远的约。
9 他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识, 他们的子孙在万民中也必这样; 看见他们的, 都必承认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔。
10 我因耶和华大大欢喜, 我的心靠着我的 神快乐, 因为他给我穿上救恩的衣服, 给我披上公义的外袍, 好像新郎戴上华冠, 又像新娘佩戴装饰。
11 地怎样发生苗芽, 园子怎样使所种的生长起来, 主耶和华也必怎样使公义和赞美, 在万国之前生长出来。
