Isaiah 61

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, 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 beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might 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 the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.

7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, 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 ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.*61.10 decketh: Heb. decketh as a priest 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

宣告救恩的好信息

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，

好象新郎戴上华冠，

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。
