Isaiah 61
English Standard Version
The Year of the Lord's Favor
61 (A)The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has (B)anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;[a]
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and (C)the opening of the prison to those who are bound;[b]
2 (D)to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
(E)and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
(F)to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,
(G)the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;
(H)that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, (I)that he may be glorified.[c]
4 (J)They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
5 (K)Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;
6 (L)but you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God;
(M)you shall eat the wealth of the nations,
and in their glory you shall boast.
7 (N)Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion;
instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot;
therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion;
they shall have everlasting joy.
8 (O)For I the Lord love justice;
I hate robbery and wrong;[d]
(P)I will faithfully give them their recompense,
(Q)and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their offspring shall be known among the nations,
and their descendants in the midst of the peoples;
all who see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.
10 (R)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord;
my soul shall exult in my God,
(S)for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation;
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself (T)like a priest with a beautiful headdress,
(U)and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up,
so the Lord God will cause (V)righteousness and praise
to sprout up before all the nations.

論受膏者之職任
61 「主耶和華的靈在我身上,因為耶和華用膏膏我,叫我傳好信息給謙卑的人[a],差遣我醫好傷心的人,報告被擄的得釋放、被囚的出監牢, 2 報告耶和華的恩年和我們神報仇的日子,安慰一切悲哀的人, 3 賜華冠於錫安悲哀的人代替灰塵,喜樂油代替悲哀,讚美衣代替憂傷之靈,使他們稱為公義樹,是耶和華所栽的,叫他得榮耀。」
信道者必獲顯榮
4 他們必修造已久的荒場,建立先前淒涼之處,重修歷代荒涼之城。 5 那時外人必起來牧放你們的羊群,外邦人必做你們耕種田地的,修理葡萄園的。 6 你們倒要稱為耶和華的祭司,人必稱你們為我們神的僕役。你們必吃用列國的財物,因得他們的榮耀自誇。 7 你們必得加倍的好處代替所受的羞辱,份中所得的喜樂必代替所受的凌辱;在境內必得加倍的產業,永遠之樂必歸於你們[b]。 8 「因為我耶和華喜愛公平,恨惡搶奪和罪孽。我要憑誠實施行報應,並要與我的百姓立永約。 9 他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識,他們的子孫在眾民中也是如此,凡看見他們的必認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。」
10 「我因耶和華大大歡喜,我的心靠神快樂。因他以拯救為衣給我穿上,以公義為袍給我披上,好像新郎戴上華冠,又像新婦佩戴裝飾。 11 田地怎樣使百穀發芽,園子怎樣使所種的發生,主耶和華必照樣使公義和讚美在萬民中發出。」
