1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me, because Jehovah hath anointed me to announce glad tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, that beauty should be given unto them instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called terebinths 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 places desolate from generation to generation.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your ploughmen and your vinedressers.

6 But as for you, ye shall be called priests of Jehovah; it shall be said of you: Ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the wealth of the nations, and into their glory shall ye enter.

7 Instead of your shame {ye shall have} double; instead of confusion they shall celebrate with joy their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double; everlasting joy shall be unto them.

8 For I, Jehovah, love judgment, I hate robbery with wrong; and I will give their recompence 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 a seed that 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 the priestly turban, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as a 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 主耶和华的灵在我身上， 因为耶和华膏了我， 叫我传福音给困苦的人； 差遣我去医治伤心的人， 向被掳的宣告自由， 向被囚的宣告释放；

2 宣告耶和华悦纳人的禧年， 和我们的 神报仇的日子； 安慰悲哀的人，

3 为锡安悲哀的人穿上装饰， 赐给他们华冠代替灰尘， 喜乐油代替悲哀， 赞美衣代替沮丧的灵， 他们必称为公义的橡树， 是耶和华栽种的， 好使他自己得着荣耀。

4 他们必重建久已废弃的荒场， 建立先前荒凉之地； 重修荒废了的城镇， 就是历代荒凉之处。

5 那时， 外人要服事你们， 牧放你们的羊群， 外族人要作你们的农夫和葡萄园丁。

6 至于你们， 却要称为耶和华的祭司， 人必称你们为我们 神的仆人； 你们要享用列国的财富， 因得着他们的荣耀而夸耀。

7 你们必得加倍的分， 代替你们所受的羞愧， 他们因自己所得的分而欢呼， 代替羞辱， 所以在他们的境内， 他们必拥有加倍的产业， 他们必有永远的喜乐。

8 因为我耶和华喜爱公平， 恨恶不义的抢夺； 我要凭真理赏赐他们， 与他们立永远的约。

9 他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识， 他们的子孙在万民中也必这样； 看见他们的， 都必承认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔。

10 我因耶和华大大欢喜， 我的心靠着我的 神快乐， 因为他给我穿上救恩的衣服， 给我披上公义的外袍， 好像新郎戴上华冠， 又像新娘佩戴装饰。

11 地怎样发生苗芽， 园子怎样使所种的生长起来， 主耶和华也必怎样使公义和赞美， 在万国之前生长出来。
