Isaiah 61

1 The spirit of My Lord Yahweh, is upon me, —Because Yahweh Hath anointed me to tell good tidings to the oppressed, Hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim To captives, liberty, To them who are bound, the opening of the prison;

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 proclaim—The year of acceptance of Yahweh, and The day of avenging of our God: To comfort all who are mourning;

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 appoint unto the mourners of Zion—To give unto them A chaplet instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of the spirit of dejection, —So shall they be called The oaks of righteousness, The plantation of Yahweh: That he may get himself 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 Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age, The desolations of former times, shall they raise up, —And they shall build anew—The cities laid waste, The desolations of generation after generation.

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 Then shall strangers stay and feed your flocks, —And, the sons of the foreigner, shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

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, ye, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, —The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.

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 Instead of your shame, —double! and Instead of disgrace, they shall shout in triumph over their portion, —Therefore in their own land, shall they possess double, Joy age-abiding, shall be theirs.

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, Yahweh, am a lover of justice, Hating plunder, for an ascending-sacrifice, Therefore will I give their reward with faithfulness, And an age-abiding covenant, will I solemnise for 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 Then shall be known among the nations, their seed, And, their offspring, in the midst of the peoples, —All who see them, shall acknowledge them, That, they, are the seed that Yahweh hath blessed.

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, greatly rejoice, in Yahweh, My soul shall exult in my God, For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness, hath he enwrapt me, —As a bridegroom, adorneth himself with, a chaplet, And as a bride, bedecketh herself with, her 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, bringeth forth her bud, And as, a garden, causeth her seeds, to shoot forth, So, My Lord, Yahweh, will cause to shoot forth Righteousness and praise 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。
