以賽亞書 61
1 吾主上主的神臨到我身上，因為上主給我傅了油，派遣我向貧苦的人傳報喜信，治療破碎了的心靈，向俘虜宣告自由，釋放獄中的囚徒，
The Spirit of Jehovah is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
2 宣佈上主恩慈的喜年，揭示我們天主報仇的日期，安慰一切憂苦的人，
to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3 給熙雍悲哀的人一項冠冕來代替灰塵，喜樂的油以代替喪服，頌讚以代替沮喪的心神。他們將被稱為正義的橡樹，上主為光榮自己所種植的園地。
to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to 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.
4 他們要重建古時的廢址，興建往日的荒域，建造傾圮的城邑，數代荒涼的地方。
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.
5 外邦人要來為你們牧放羊群，外方人的兒子要作你們的農夫和葡萄園丁。
Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 你們要被稱為「上主的司祭」人要稱你們為「我們天主的侍役；」你們要享用萬民的財物，以他們的財寶而誇耀。
But you shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
7 因為他們受了雙重的恥辱，侮辱與唾罵是他們的家業，因此他們要承受雙倍的土地；永遠的喜樂將歸屬於他們。
Instead of your shame you 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 to them.
8 因為我是愛慕公義的上主，我惱恨不義的搶劫；我要憑忠實賜給他們報酬，與他們訂立一項永久的盟約。
"For I, Jehovah, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 他們的後裔在列國中，他們的苗裔在萬民中，要受人賞識；凡看見他們的，必要承認他們是上主所祝福的後裔。
Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which Jehovah has blessed."
10 我要萬分喜樂於上主，我的心靈要歡躍於我的天主，因為他給我穿上救恩的衣服，給我披上義德的外衣，使我有如頭戴花冠的新郎，有如佩帶珍珠的新娘。
I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 正如大地怎樣產生苗芽，田園怎樣使種子發芽，吾主上主也要怎樣在萬民前產生正義和讚揚。
For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
