Isaia 61
Nuova Riveduta 1994
La salvezza proclamata
61 (A)Lo Spirito del Signore, di Dio, è su di me,
perché il Signore mi ha unto per recare una buona notizia agli umili;
mi ha inviato per fasciare quelli che hanno il cuore spezzato,
per proclamare la libertà a quelli che sono schiavi,
l'apertura del carcere ai prigionieri,
2 per proclamare l'anno di grazia del Signore[a],
il giorno di vendetta del nostro Dio;
per consolare tutti quelli che sono afflitti;
3 per mettere, per dare agli afflitti di *Sion
un diadema invece di cenere,
olio di gioia invece di dolore,
il mantello di lode invece di uno spirito abbattuto,
affinché siano chiamati querce di giustizia,
la piantagione del Signore per mostrare la sua gloria.
4 (B)Essi ricostruiranno sulle antiche rovine,
rialzeranno i luoghi desolati nel passato,
rinnoveranno le città devastate,
i luoghi desolati delle trascorse generazioni.
5 Là gli stranieri pascoleranno le vostre greggi,
i figli dello straniero saranno i vostri agricoltori e i vostri viticultori.
6 Ma voi sarete chiamati *sacerdoti del Signore,
la gente vi chiamerà ministri del nostro Dio;
voi mangerete le ricchezze delle nazioni,
a voi toccherà la loro gloria.
7 Invece della vostra vergogna, avrete una parte doppia;
invece di infamia, esulterete della vostra sorte.
Sí, nel loro paese possederanno il doppio
e avranno felicità eterna.
8 Poiché io, il Signore, amo la giustizia,
odio la rapina, frutto d'*iniquità;
io darò loro fedelmente la ricompensa
e stabilirò con loro un patto eterno.
9 La loro razza sarà conosciuta fra le nazioni,
la loro discendenza, fra i popoli;
tutti quelli che li vedranno riconosceranno
che sono una razza benedetta dal Signore.
10 (C)Io mi rallegrerò grandemente nel Signore,
l'anima mia esulterà nel mio Dio;
poiché egli mi ha rivestito delle vesti della salvezza,
mi ha avvolto nel mantello della giustizia,
come uno sposo che si adorna di un diadema,
come una sposa che si adorna dei suoi gioielli.
11 Sí, come la terra produce la sua vegetazione
e come un giardino fa germogliare le sue semenze,
cosí il Signore, Dio, farà germogliare la giustizia e la lode
davanti a tutte le nazioni.

The Lord Will Rejuvenate His People
61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
because the Lord has chosen[a] me.[b]
He has commissioned[c] me to encourage[d] the poor,
to help[e] the brokenhearted,
to decree the release of captives,
and the freeing of prisoners,
2 to announce the year when the Lord will show his favor,
the day when our God will seek vengeance,[f]
to console all who mourn,
3 to strengthen those who mourn in Zion,
by giving them a turban, instead of ashes,
oil symbolizing joy,[g] instead of mourning,
a garment symbolizing praise,[h] instead of discouragement.[i]
They will be called oaks of righteousness,[j]
trees planted by the Lord to reveal his splendor.[k]
4 They will rebuild the perpetual ruins
and restore the places that were desolate;[l]
they will reestablish the ruined cities,
the places that have been desolate since ancient times.
5 [m] “Foreigners will take care of[n] your sheep;
foreigners will work in your fields and vineyards.
6 You will be called, ‘the Lord’s priests,
servants of our God.’[o]
You will enjoy[p] the wealth of nations
and boast about[q] the riches you receive from them.[r]
7 Instead of shame, you will get a double portion;[s]
instead of humiliation, they will rejoice over the land they receive.[t]
Yes,[u] they will possess a double portion in their land
and experience lasting joy.
8 For I, the Lord, love justice
and hate robbery and sin.
I will repay them because of my faithfulness;[v]
I will make a permanent covenant with them.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations,
their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will recognize that
the Lord has blessed them.”[w]
10 I[x] will greatly rejoice[y] in the Lord;
I will be overjoyed because of my God.[z]
For he clothes me in garments of deliverance;
he puts on me a robe symbolizing vindication.[aa]
I look like a bridegroom when he wears a turban as a priest would;
I look like a bride when she puts on her jewelry.[ab]
11 For just as the ground produces its crops
and a garden yields its produce,
so the Sovereign Lord will cause deliverance[ac] to grow,
and give his people reason to praise him in the sight of all the nations.[ad]

- Isaiah 61:1 sn The speaker is not identified, but he is distinct from the Lord and from Zion’s suffering people. He possesses the divine spirit, is God’s spokesman, and is sent to release prisoners from bondage. The evidence suggests he is the Lord’s special servant, described earlier in the servant songs (see 42:1-4, 7; 49:2, 9; 50:4; see also 51:16).

- Isaiah 61:3 tn Rather than referring to the character of the people, צֶדֶק (tsedeq) may carry the nuance “vindication” here, suggesting that God’s restored people are a testimony to his justice.

- Isaiah 61:5 sn The Lord speaks in vv. 7-8 (and possibly v. 9). It is not clear where the servant’s speech (see vv. 1-3a) ends and the Lord’s begins. Perhaps the direct address to the people signals the beginning of the Lord’s speech.
- Isaiah 61:5 tn Heb “will stand [in position] and shepherd.”
- Isaiah 61:6 tn The Hebrew text adds, “it will be said concerning you.”
- Isaiah 61:6 tn Heb “eat” (KJV, NAB, NASB); NIV “feed on”; NLT “be fed with.”
- Isaiah 61:6 tc The form in the Hebrew text probably needs to be emended to יִתְאַמְּרוּ (yitʾammeru), a Hitpael from אָמַר (ʾamar), meaning “boast about” (see HALOT 67 s.v. II אמר, HALOT 416 s.v. ימר, and BDB 56 s.v. אָמַר).

- Isaiah 61:7 tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”

- Isaiah 61:10 tn Heb “my being is happy in my God”; NAB “in my God is the joy of my soul.”

- Isaiah 61:10 tn Heb “like a bridegroom [who] acts like a priest [by wearing] a turban, and like a bride [who] wears her jewelry.” The words “I look” are supplied for stylistic reasons and clarification.
- Isaiah 61:11 tn Or perhaps, “righteousness,” but the context seems to emphasize deliverance and restoration (see v. 10 and 62:1).
- Isaiah 61:11 tn Heb “and praise before all the nations.”

The Year of the Lord’s Favor
61 The Spirit(A) of the Sovereign Lord(B) is on me,
because the Lord has anointed(C) me
to proclaim good news(D) to the poor.(E)
He has sent me to bind up(F) the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom(G) for the captives(H)
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor(I)
and the day of vengeance(J) of our God,
to comfort(K) all who mourn,(L)
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown(M) of beauty
instead of ashes,(N)
the oil(O) of joy
instead of mourning,(P)
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting(Q) of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.(R)
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins(S)
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
5 Strangers(T) will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
6 And you will be called priests(U) of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth(V) of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.
7 Instead of your shame(W)
you will receive a double(X) portion,
and instead of disgrace
you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit(Y) a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy(Z) will be yours.
8 “For I, the Lord, love justice;(AA)
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant(AB) with them.
9 Their descendants(AC) 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.”(AD)
10 I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices(AE) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,(AF)
as a bridegroom adorns his head(AG) like a priest,
and as a bride(AH) adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up
and a garden(AI) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness(AJ)
and praise spring up before all nations.
