Isaiah 61

1 The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

主耶和华的灵在我身上； 因为耶和华用膏膏我， 叫我传好信息给谦卑的人， 差遣我医好伤心的人， 报告被掳的得释放， 被囚的出监牢；

2 To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

报告耶和华的恩年， 和我们 神报仇的日子； 安慰一切悲哀的人，

3 To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人，代替灰尘； 喜乐油代替悲哀； 赞美衣代替忧伤之灵； 使他们称为“公义树”， 是耶和华所栽的，叫他得荣耀。

4 And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.

他们必修造已久的荒场， 建立先前凄凉之处， 重修历代荒凉之城。

5 And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.

那时，外人必起来牧放你们的羊群； 外邦人必作你们耕种田地的， 修理葡萄园的。

6 But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.

你们倒要称为耶和华的祭司； 人必称你们为我们 神的仆役。 你们必吃用列国的财物， 因得他们的荣耀自夸。

7 As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.

你们必得加倍的好处，代替所受的羞辱； 分中所得的喜乐，必代替所受的凌辱。 在境内必得加倍的产业； 永远之乐必归与你们。

8 For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

因为我—耶和华喜爱公平， 恨恶抢夺和罪孽； 我要凭诚实施行报应， 并要与我的百姓立永约。

9 And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.

他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识； 他们的子孙在众民中也是如此。 凡看见他们的必认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔。

10 I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.

我因耶和华大大欢喜； 我的心靠 神快乐。 因他以拯救为衣给我穿上， 以公义为袍给我披上， 好像新郎戴上华冠， 又像新妇佩戴妆饰。

11 For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.

田地怎样使百谷发芽， 园子怎样使所种的发生， 主耶和华必照样 使公义和赞美在万民中发出。
