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 Dominus me ad adnuntiandum 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 Domini 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.
ut ponerem lugentibus Sion et darem eis coronam pro cinere oleum gaudii pro luctu pallium laudis pro spiritu maeroris 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 generationem 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 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 scietur in gentibus semen eorum et germen eorum in medio populorum omnes qui viderint eos cognoscent eos 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
