Isaiah 61
1 The spirit of My Lord Yahweh, is upon me, —Because Yahweh Hath anointed me to tell good tidings to the oppressed, Hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim To captives, liberty, To them who are bound, the opening of the prison;
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 acceptance of Yahweh, and The day of avenging of our God: To comfort all who are mourning;
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 the mourners of Zion—To give unto them A chaplet instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of the spirit of dejection, —So shall they be called The oaks of righteousness, The plantation of Yahweh: That he may get himself 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 Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age, The desolations of former times, shall they raise up, —And they shall build anew—The cities laid waste, The desolations of generation after generation.
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 Then shall strangers stay and feed your flocks, —And, the sons of the foreigner, 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, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, —The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.
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 Instead of your shame, —double! and Instead of disgrace, they shall shout in triumph over their portion, —Therefore in their own land, shall they possess double, Joy age-abiding, shall be theirs.
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, Yahweh, am a lover of justice, Hating plunder, for an ascending-sacrifice, Therefore will I give their reward with faithfulness, And an age-abiding covenant, will I solemnise for 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 Then shall be known among the nations, their seed, And, their offspring, in the midst of the peoples, —All who see them, shall acknowledge them, That, they, are the seed that Yahweh 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 Yahweh, My soul shall exult in my God, For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness, hath he enwrapt me, —As a bridegroom, adorneth himself with, a chaplet, And as a bride, bedecketh 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 bud, And as, a garden, causeth her seeds, to shoot forth, So, My Lord, Yahweh, will cause to shoot forth Righteousness and praise 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。
