< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
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 acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
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 to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty 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 the LORD, that he may be glorified.
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 shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many 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 foreigners shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien 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 shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, 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 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them.
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 love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant 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 shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 ornaments, and as a bride adorneth 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 the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth 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。
