< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is vpon mee, therefore hath the Lord anoynted mee: hee hath sent mee to preache good tidings vnto the poore, to binde vp the broken hearted, to preach libertie to the captiues, and to them that are bound, the opening of the prison,
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 preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourne,
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 vnto them that mourne in Zion, and to giue vnto them beautie for ashes, the oyle of ioye for mourning, the garment of gladnesse for the spirit of heauinesse, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, the planting of the Lord, that he might 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 builde the olde waste places, and raise vp the former desolations, and they shall repaire the cities that were desolate and waste through 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 the strangers shall stande and feede your sheepe, and the sonnes of the strangers shall be your plowmen and dressers of your vines.
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 Priestes of the Lord, and men shall say vnto you, The ministers of our God, Ye shall eate the riches of the Gentiles, and shalbe exalted with their glorie.
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 you shall receiue double, and for confusion they shall reioyce in their portion: for in their lande they shall possesse the double: euerlasting ioy shall be vnto 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 loue iudgement and hate robberie for burnt offering, and I wil direct their worke in trueth, and will make an euerlasting couenant 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 seede shall be knowen among the Gentiles, and their buddes among the people. All that see them, shall know them, that they are the seede 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 reioyce in the Lord, and my soule shall be ioyfull in my God: for he hath clothed mee with the garments of saluation, and couered me with the robe of righteousnes: hee hath decked me like a bridegrome, and as a bride tireth herselfe with her iewels.
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 foorth her bud, and as the garden causeth to growe that which is sowen in it: so the Lord God will cause righteousnesse to grow and praise before all the heathen.
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。
