Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to bring good tidings unto the humble; He hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the eyes to them that are bound;
主耶和華的靈在我身上； 因為耶和華用膏膏我， 叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人， 差遣我醫好傷心的人， 報告被擄的得釋放， 被囚的出監牢；
2 To proclaim the year of the LORD'S good pleasure, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
報告耶和華的恩年， 和我們上帝報仇的日子； 安慰一切悲哀的人，
3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called terebinths of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, wherein He might glory.
賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人，代替灰塵； 喜樂油代替悲哀； 讚美衣代替憂傷之靈； 使他們稱為「公義樹」， 是耶和華所栽的，叫他得榮耀。
4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall renew the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
他們必修造已久的荒場， 建立先前淒涼之處， 重修歷代荒涼之城。
5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and aliens shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
那時，外人必起來牧放你們的羊群； 外邦人必作你們耕種田地的， 修理葡萄園的。
6 But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD, men shall call you the ministers of our God; ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their splendour shall ye revel.
你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司； 人必稱你們為我們上帝的僕役。 你們必吃用列國的財物， 因得他們的榮耀自誇。
7 For your shame which was double, and for that they rejoiced: 'Confusion is their portion'; therefore in their land they shall possess double, everlasting joy shall be unto them.
你們必得加倍的好處，代替所受的羞辱； 分中所得的喜樂，必代替所受的凌辱。 在境內必得加倍的產業； 永遠之樂必歸與你們。
8 For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
因為我－耶和華喜愛公平， 恨惡搶奪和罪孽； 我要憑誠實施行報應， 並要與我的百姓立永約。
9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識； 他們的子孫在眾民中也是如此。 凡看見他們的必認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。
10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, He hath covered me with the robe of victory, as a bridegroom putteth on a priestly diadem, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
我因耶和華大大歡喜； 我的心靠上帝快樂。 因他以拯救為衣給我穿上， 以公義為袍給我披上， 好像新郎戴上華冠， 又像新婦佩戴妝飾。
11 For as the earth bringeth forth her growth, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause victory and glory to spring forth before all the nations.
田地怎樣使百穀發芽， 園子怎樣使所種的發生， 主耶和華必照樣 使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。
