< Isaiah 61 >
1 [the] spirit of [the] Lord Yahweh [is] on me because he has anointed Yahweh me to bear news humble [people] he has sent me to bind up [people] broken of heart to proclaim to captives liberty and to prisoners re-lease.
2 To proclaim a year of favor of Yahweh and a day of vengeance of God our to comfort all mourners.
3 To put - to [the] mourners of Zion to give to them a turban in place of ash[es] oil of joy in place of mourning a mantle of praise in place of a spirit faint and it will be called to them [the] oaks of righteousness [the] planting of Yahweh to glorify himself.
4 And they will rebuild [the] ruins of antiquity [the] desolate [places] former they will raise up and they will renew [the] cities of devastation [the] desolate [places] of a generation and a generation.
5 And they will stand strangers and they will shepherd flock[s] your and sons of foreignness [will be] farmers your and vinedressers your.
6 And you priests of Yahweh you will be called [the] servants of God our it will be said of you [the] wealth of nations you will consume and in abundance their you will boast.
7 In place of shame your double and ignominy they will shout for joy portion their therefore in land their double they will possess joy of perpetuity it will belong to them.

10 Certainly I will rejoice in Yahweh it may be glad self my in God my for he has clothed me garments of salvation a robe of righteousness he has covered me like bridegroom [who] he acts like a priest a turban and like bride [who] she adorns herself ornaments her.
11 For like the ground [which] it brings forth growth its and like a garden [which] things sown in it it makes grow so - [the] Lord Yahweh he will make grow righteousness and praise before all the nations.
