1 The Ruach* of Adonoi Hashem is upon me,*

because Hashem mashach (hath anointed) me*

to preach besurah (good news, glad tidings) unto the anavim (meek, poor, oppressed);

He hath sent me to bind up the nishberei lev (the brokenhearted),

to proclaim deror (freedom, liberty) for the shevuyim ([Golus] captives),

and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the Shnat Ratzon L'Hashem (the year of the L-rdʼs favor and grace),

and the Yom Nakam L’Eloheinu (our G-dʼs Day of Vengeance);

to comfort all the avelim (mourners);

3 To grant unto Avelei Tziyon (Mourners of Zion),

giving unto them a flower wreath instead of ashes,

the shemen sasson (oil of joy) instead of avel (mourning),

the garment of tehillah (praise) for the ruach of keheh (fainting, a heavy spirit);

that they might be called Eilei HaTzedek (Oaks of Righteousness),

the planting of Hashem, that He might be glorified.
