Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound;
Spiritus Domini super me, eo quod unxerit Dominus me: ad annunciandum mansuetis misit me, ut mederer contritis corde, et prædicarem captivis indulgentiam, et clausis apertionem:
2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Ut prædicarem annum placabilem Domino, et diem ultionis Deo nostro: ut consolarer omnes lugentes:
3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto 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 Jehovah, that he may be glorified.
ut ponerem lugentibus Sion: et darem eis coronam pro cinere, oleum gaudii pro luctu, pallium laudis pro spiritu mœroris: et vocabuntur in ea fortes iustitiæ, plantatio Domini ad glorificandum.
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.
Et ædificabunt deserta a sæculo, et ruinas antiquas erigent, et instaurabunt civitates desertas, dissipatas in generationem et generationem.
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers.
Et stabunt alieni, et pascent pecora vestra: et filii peregrinorum agricolæ et vinitores vestri erunt.
6 But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
Vos autem sacerdotes Domini vocabimini: ministri Dei nostri, dicetur vobis: Fortitudinem Gentium comedetis, et in gloria earum superbietis.
7 Instead of your shame [ye shall have] double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Pro confusione vestra duplici, et rubore laudabunt partem suam: propter hoc in terra sua duplicia possidebunt, lætitia sempiterna erit eis.
8 For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Quia ego Dominus diligens iudicium, et odio habens rapinam in holocausto: et dabo opus eorum in veritate, et fœdus perpetuum feriam eis.
9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed.
Et scient in gentibus semen eorum, et germen eorum in medio populorum: omnes, qui viderint eos, cognoscent illos, quia isti sunt semen, cui benedixit Dominus.
10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, 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 a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
Gaudens gaudebo in Domino, et exultabit anima mea in Deo meo: quia induit me vestimentis salutis: et indumento iustitiæ circumdedit me, quasi sponsum decoratum corona, et quasi sponsam ornatam monilibus suis.
11 For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Sicut enim terra profert germen suum, et sicut hortus semen suum germinat, sic Dominus Deus germinabit iustitiam, et laudem coram universis gentibus.
