Isaiah 61
New King James Version
The Good News of Salvation
61 “The (A)Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,
Because the Lord (B)has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;
He has sent Me (C)to [a]heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim (D)liberty to the captives,
And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 (E)To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And (F)the day of vengeance of our God;
(G)To comfort all who mourn,
3 To [b]console those who mourn in Zion,
(H)To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
(I)The planting of the Lord, (J)that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall (K)rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 (L)Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 (M)But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
(N)You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
7 (O)Instead of your shame you shall have double honor,
And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they shall possess double;
Everlasting joy shall be theirs.
8 “For (P)I, the Lord, love justice;
(Q)I hate robbery [c]for burnt offering;
I will direct their work in truth,
(R)And will make with them an everlasting covenant.
9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles,
And their offspring among the people.
All who see them shall acknowledge them,
(S)That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”
10 (T)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For (U)He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
(V)As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth brings forth its bud,
As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord God will cause (W)righteousness and (X)praise to spring forth before all the nations.

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.

King James Version
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;
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.
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.

The Good News
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has chosen me to bring good news to poor people. He has sent me to heal those with a sad heart. He has sent me to tell those who are being held and those in prison that they can go free. 2 He has sent me to tell about the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day our God will bring punishment. He has sent me to comfort all who are filled with sorrow. 3 To those who have sorrow in Zion I will give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes. I will give them the oil of joy instead of sorrow, and a spirit of praise instead of a spirit of no hope. Then they will be called oaks that are right with God, planted by the Lord, that He may be honored.
4 They will build the cities again that were destroyed long ago. They will raise up what had been torn down, and will build the cities that were destroyed, and have lain waste through the years of many families and their children’s children. 5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks. Men from other lands will be your farmers and care for your vines. 6 But you will be called the religious leaders of the Lord. Men will speak of you as servants of our God. You will eat the riches of the nations, and in their riches you will speak with pride. 7 Instead of your shame you will have a share that is twice as much. Instead of being without honor, they will sing for joy over all you receive. So they will have twice as much in their land, and joy that lasts forever will be theirs. 8 For I, the Lord, love what is right and fair. I hate stealing and what is wrong. I will be faithful to pay them what they should have. And I will make an agreement with them that will last forever. 9 Their children will be known among the nations. Their children’s children will be known among the people. All who see them will know them, because they are the people to whom the Lord has brought honor.
10 I will have much joy in the Lord. My soul will have joy in my God, for He has clothed me with the clothes of His saving power. He has put around me a coat of what is right and good, as a man at his own wedding wears something special on his head, and as a bride makes herself beautiful with stones of great worth. 11 As the earth lets its new plants grow, and as a garden causes the things planted in it to grow, in the same way, the Lord God will cause what is right and good and words of praise to grow up in front of all the nations.

परमेश्वराचा मुक्तीचा संदेश
61 परमेश्वराचा सेवक म्हणतो, परमेश्वराने, माझ्या प्रभूने, त्याचा आत्मा माझ्यात घातला. गरीब लोकांना चांगली बातमी सांगण्यासाठी आणि दु:खी लोकांचे सांत्वन करण्यासाठी देवाने मला निवडले. बंदिवानांची आणि कैद्यांची मुक्तता झाली आहे हे सांगण्यासाठी देवाने मला पाठविले. 2 परमेश्वराच्या कृपासमयाची घोषणा करण्यासाठी देवाने मला पाठविले. देव पापी लोकांना कधी शिक्षा करणार आहे हे त्यांना सांगण्यासाठी देवाने मला धाडले. दु:खी लोकांचे दु:ख हलके करण्यासाठी देवाने मला पाठविले. 3 सियोनच्या दु:खी लोकांकडे देवाने मला पाठविले. मी त्यांना उत्सवासाठी तयार करीन. त्यांच्या डोक्यांवरची राख मी झटकून टाकीन आणि मी त्यांना मुकुट देईन. मी त्यांचे दु:ख दूर करीन. त्यांना सुखाचे तेल देईन. मी त्यांचा शोक नाहीसा करीन आणि त्यांना सणासुदीची वस्त्रे घालायला देईन. देवाने मला त्या लोकांना “चांगले वृक्ष” आणि “परमेश्वराची सुंदर रोपटी” अशी नावे ठेवण्यासाठी पाठविले आहे.
4 त्या वेळेला नाश केली गेलेली जुनी शहरे पुन्हा वसविली जातील. ती आरंभी होती तशी नव्याने केली जातील. फार फार वर्षांपूर्वी नाश पावलेली शहरे नव्यासारखी केली जातील.
5 नंतर तुमचे शत्रू तुमच्याकडे येतील आणि तुमच्या मेंढ्यांची काळजी घेतील. तुमच्या शत्रूंची मुले तुमच्या शेतांतून आणि मळ्यांतून कामे करतील. 6 तुम्हाला “परमेश्वराचे याजक”, “आमच्या देवाचे सेवक” असे म्हटले जाईल. जगातील सर्व राष्ट्रांची संपत्ती तुम्हाला मिळेल आणि ती मिळाल्याबद्दल तुम्हाला अभिमान वाटेल.
7 पूर्वीच्या काळी लोकांनी तुमची अप्रतिष्ठा केली, तुमची निंदा केली. इतर लोकांपेक्षा तुमची अप्रतिष्ठा जास्त झाली. म्हणून तुमच्या जमिनीतून तुम्हाला इतरांपेक्षा दुप्पट पीक मिळेल. तुम्हाला अखंड आनंद मिळेल. 8 असे का घडेल? कारण मी परमेश्वर आहे आणि मला प्रामाणिकपणा आवडतो. मला चोरी व प्रत्येक चुकीच्या गोष्टीचा तिरस्कार वाटतो. म्हणून मी लोकांना योग्य तेच फळ देईन. मी माझ्या लोकांबरोबर कायमचा, करार केला आहे. 9 सर्व राष्ट्रांतील एकूण एक लोक माझ्या लोकांना ओळखतील. माझ्या राष्ट्रातील मुलांना प्रत्येकजण ओळखेल. त्यांना पाहताच कोणालाही कळून येईल की ह्यांना परमेश्वराचा आशीर्वाद मिळाला आहे.
देवाचा सेवक तारण व चांगुलपणा आणतो
10 परमेश्वर मला अत्यंत सुखी ठेवतो.
देवामुळे मी सर्वस्वी सुखी आहे.
परमेश्वर मला तारणाचे कपडे घालतो.
हे कपडे स्वतःच्या लग्नात घालायच्या कपड्यांप्रमाणे सुंदर आहेत.
परमेश्वर चांगुलपणाचा अगंरखा मला घालतो.
वधूवेशाप्रमाणे हा अंगरखा सुंदर आहे.
11 जमीनीमुळे रोपे वाढतात.
लोक शेतांत बी पेरतात.
ते बी जमिनीत रूजून वाढते.
त्याचप्रमाणे परमेश्वर चांगुलपणा वाढवील,
सर्व राष्ट्रांत त्याची प्रशंसा अधिकच वाढवील.
