Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of YHWH 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;
Spiritus Domini super me, eo quod unxerit me: ad annunciandum mansuetis misit me, ut mederer contritis corde, et praedicarem captivis indulgentiam, et clausis apertionem:
2 to proclaim the year of YHWH's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
Ut praedicarem annum placabilem Domino, et diem ultionis Deo nostro: ut consolarer omnes lugentes:
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 YHWH, that he may be glorified.
et ponerem fortitudinem lugentibus Sion: ut darem eis coronam pro cinere, oleum gaudii pro luctu, pallium laudis pro spiritu moeroris: et vocabuntur in ea fortes iustitiae, plantatio Domini ad glorificandum.
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.
Et aedificabunt deserta a saeculo, et ruinas antiquas erigent, et instaurabunt civitates desertas, dissipatas in generatione et generationem.
5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
Et stabunt alieni, et pascent pecora vestra: et filii peregrinorum agricolae et vinitores vestri erunt.
6 But you shall be named the priests of YHWH; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
Vos autem Sacerdotes Domini vocabimini: Ministri Dei nostri, dicetur vobis: Fortitudinem Gentium comedetis, et in gloria earum superbietis.
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.
Pro confusione vestra duplici, et rubore laudabunt partem eorum: propter hoc in terra sua duplicia possidebunt, laetitia sempiterna erit eis.
8 "For I, YHWH, 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.
Quia ego Dominus diligens iudicium, et odio habens rapinam in holocausto: et dabo opus eorum in veritate, et foedus perpetuum feriam eis.
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 YHWH has blessed."
Et scient in Gentibus semen eorum, et germen eorum in medio populorum: omnes, qui viderint eos, cognoscent illos, quia isti sunt semen, cui benedixit Dominus.
10 I will greatly rejoice in YHWH, 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.
Gaudens gaudebo in Domino, et exultabit anima mea in Deo meo: quia induit me vestimentis salutis: et indumento iustitiae circumdedit me, quasi sponsum decoratum corona, et quasi sponsam ornatam monilibus suis.
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 YHWH will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Sicut enim terra profert germen suum, et sicut hortus semen suum germinat, sic Dominus Deus germinabit iustitiam, et laudem coram universis Gentibus.
