< Isaiah 61 >

1 The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
[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 give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
To proclaim a year of favor of Yahweh and a day of vengeance of God our to comfort all mourners.
3 To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
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 be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
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 men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
And they will stand strangers and they will shepherd flock[s] your and sons of foreignness [will be] farmers your and vinedressers your.
6 But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
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 As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
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.
8 For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
For I Yahweh [am] loving justice [I am] hating robbery with injustice and I will give recompense their in faithfulness and a covenant of perpetuity I will make to them.
9 And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
And it will be known among the nations offspring their and descendants their in among the peoples all [those who] see them they will recognize them that they [are] offspring [whom] he has blessed Yahweh.
10 I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
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 as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
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.
