大喜的讯息

61 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;
宣告我们上帝耶和华的恩年和祂报仇的日子,
安慰一切悲哀的人;
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沮丧。
他们将被称为耶和华所栽种的公义橡树,
以彰显祂的荣耀。
他们必重修古老的荒场,
在久已毁坏之地重建荒废的城邑。

异乡人要为你们牧放羊群,
外族人要为你们耕种田地、
照料葡萄园。
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宝,
夸耀自己拥有他们的财富。
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。

“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。
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上帝赐福之民。”

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 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。

61 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;

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
