以赛亚书
CH. 61
1
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,(或作传福音给贫穷的人)差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出监牢。

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2
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。

to proclaim the year of the LORD'S favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
3
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。

and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
4
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。

They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
5
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。

Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6
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。

And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
7
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。(原文作他们)

Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
8
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。

"For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.
9
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。

Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed."
10
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。

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11
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。

For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
