1 O Espírito do Senhor Deus está sobre mim, porque o Senhor me ungiu para pregar boas-novas aos quebrantados, enviou-me a curar os quebrantados de coração, a proclamar libertação aos cativos e a pôr em liberdade os algemados; 2 a apregoar o ano aceitável do Senhor e o dia da vingança do nosso Deus; a consolar todos os que choram 3 e a pôr sobre os que em Sião estão de luto uma coroa em vez de cinzas, óleo de alegria, em vez de pranto, veste de louvor, em vez de espírito angustiado; a fim de que se chamem carvalhos de justiça, plantados pelo Senhor para a sua glória.

4 Edificarão os lugares antigamente assolados, restaurarão os de antes destruídos e renovarão as cidades arruinadas, destruídas de geração em geração. 5 Estranhos se apresentarão e apascentarão os vossos rebanhos; estrangeiros serão os vossos lavradores e os vossos vinhateiros. 6 Mas vós sereis chamados sacerdotes do Senhor, e vos chamarão ministros de nosso Deus; comereis as riquezas das nações e na sua glória vos gloriareis. 7 Em lugar da vossa vergonha, tereis dupla honra; em lugar da afronta, exultareis na vossa herança; por isso, na vossa terra possuireis o dobro e tereis perpétua alegria. 8 Porque eu, o Senhor, amo o juízo e odeio a iniquidade do roubo; dar-lhes-ei fielmente a sua recompensa e com eles farei aliança eterna. 9 A sua posteridade será conhecida entre as nações, os seus descendentes, no meio dos povos; todos quantos os virem os reconhecerão como família bendita do Senhor.

10 Regozijar-me-ei muito no Senhor, a minha alma se alegra no meu Deus; porque me cobriu de vestes de salvação e me envolveu com o manto de justiça, como noivo que se adorna de turbante, como noiva que se enfeita com as suas joias. 11 Porque, como a terra produz os seus renovos, e como o jardim faz brotar o que nele se semeia, assim o Senhor Deus fará brotar a justiça e o louvor perante todas as nações.

1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto 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 Jehovah, that he may be glorified.

4 And 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. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vine-dressers. 6 But ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah; men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. 7 Instead of your shame ye 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 unto them. 8 For I, Jehovah, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Jehovah hath blessed.

10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth bringeth forth its bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim 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, [^1]

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

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy 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 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 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

6 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 Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

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

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."

10 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 his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

11 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.
