Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,
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 and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,
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 take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification.
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 will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation.
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 will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.
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 you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.
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 Instead of your double confusion and shame, they will praise their portion. Because of this, they will possess double in their land. Everlasting joy will be for 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 am the Lord, who loves judgment and who holds hatred for robbery within a burnt offering. And I will turn their work into truth, and I will forge a perpetual 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 they will know their offspring among the nations, and their progeny in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them: that these are the offspring whom the Lord has 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 rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul will exult in my God. For he has clothed me with the vestments of salvation, and he has wrapped me in the clothing of justice, like a groom arrayed with a crown, and like a bride adorned 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 brings forth its seedlings and the garden produces its seeds, so will the Lord God bring forth justice and praise in the sight of 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。
