1 The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me,
because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble.
He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and release to those who are bound,
2 to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion,
to give to them a garland for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,
that they may be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of Yahweh,
that he may be glorified.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins.
They will raise up the former devastated places.
They will repair the ruined cities
that have been devastated for many generations.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks.
Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
6 But you will be called Yahweh’s priests.
Men will call you the servants of our God.
You will eat the wealth of the nations.
You will boast in their glory.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double.
Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they will possess double.
Everlasting joy will be to them.
8 "For I, Yahweh, love justice.
I hate robbery and iniquity.
I will give them their reward in truth
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge them,
that they are the offspring which Yahweh has blessed."
10 I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh!
My soul will be joyful in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation.
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth produces its bud,
and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring up 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。
