< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and an opening of the eyes to the blind;
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 proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
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 to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may 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 They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of 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 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
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 shall be named the priests of the LORD; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in 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 shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to 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, love justice, and I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting 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 Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the offspring which 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 greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself 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 bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the LORD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before 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。
