Isaiah 61
Good News Translation
The Good News of Deliverance
61 (A)The Sovereign Lord has filled me with his Spirit.
He has chosen me and sent me
To bring good news to the poor,
To heal the broken-hearted,
To announce release to captives
And freedom to those in prison.
2 (B)He has sent me to proclaim
That the time has come
When the Lord will save his people
And defeat their enemies.
He has sent me to comfort all who mourn,
3 To give to those who mourn in Zion
Joy and gladness instead of grief,
A song of praise instead of sorrow.
They will be like trees
That the Lord himself has planted.
They will all do what is right,
And God will be praised for what he has done.
4 They will rebuild cities that have long been in ruins.
5 My people, foreigners will serve you.
They will take care of your flocks
And farm your land and tend your vineyards.
6 And you will be known as the priests of the Lord,
The servants of our God.
You will enjoy the wealth of the nations
And be proud that it is yours.
7 Your shame and disgrace are ended.
You will live in your own land,
And your wealth will be doubled;
Your joy will last forever.
8 The Lord says,
“I love justice and I hate oppression and crime.
I will faithfully reward my people
And make an eternal covenant with them.
9 They will be famous among the nations;
Everyone who sees them will know
That they are a people whom I have blessed.”
10 (C)Jerusalem rejoices because of what the Lord has done.
She is like a bride dressed for her wedding.
God has clothed her with salvation and victory.
11 As surely as seeds sprout and grow,
The Sovereign Lord will save his people,
And all the nations will praise him.
以賽亞書 61
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
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。」
