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 the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.
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 the good pleasure of Jehovah, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
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 mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, 'Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah — to be beautified.'
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。
And they have built the wastes of old, The desolations of the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
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。
And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers.
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。
And ye are called 'Priests of Jehovah,' 'Ministers of our God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And in their honour ye do boast yourselves.
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 and confusion, A second time they sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for 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 [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a covenant age-during I make for 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。
And known among nations hath been their seed, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah hath 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 greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on 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 bringeth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
