Isaiah 61

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD 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 liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,

1 主耶和华的灵在我身上，因为耶和华膏立了我， 让我传福音给贫穷的人， 差遣我医治伤心的人， 宣告被掳的人得释放、 被囚的人得自由；

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,

2 宣告耶和华的恩年和我们上帝报仇的日子， 安慰一切悲哀的人；

3 to console the mourners in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

3 以华冠取代锡安哀伤者头上的灰尘， 以喜乐的膏油取代他们的哀伤， 以颂赞的外袍取代他们的灰心。 他们将被称为耶和华所栽种的公义橡树， 以彰显祂的荣耀。

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.

4 他们必重修古老的荒场， 修复久已毁坏之地， 重建历代荒废的城邑。

5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.

5 异乡客要为你们牧放羊群， 外族人要为你们耕种田地、 照料葡萄园。

6 But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.

6 你们要被称为耶和华的祭司， 我们上帝的臣仆。 你们必享用各国的财富， 夸耀自己拥有他们的荣华。

7 Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.

7 你们曾经蒙受耻辱， 如今将得到双倍的福分； 你们曾经遭受屈辱， 如今将因得到产业而快乐。 你们将在自己的土地上得到双倍的福分， 享受永远的快乐。

8 For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.

8 “因为我耶和华喜爱公正， 憎恶抢劫之罪。 我必凭信实赏赐我的子民， 与他们立永远的约。

9 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.

9 他们的后代必享誉列国， 子孙必名闻万邦， 看见的人都承认他们是蒙耶和华赐福之民。”

10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

10 我因耶和华而无比喜乐， 因我的上帝而心里快乐， 因为祂给我穿上救恩的衣服、 披上公义的袍子， 使我像戴上华冠的新郎， 又像戴上饰物的新娘。

11 For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

11 大地怎样使嫩苗长出， 园子怎样使种子发芽， 主耶和华必照样使公义与颂赞在万民中滋长。
