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 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.

El año del favor del Señor
61 El Espíritu del Señor omnipotente está sobre mí,
por cuanto me ha ungido
para anunciar buenas nuevas a los pobres.
Me ha enviado a sanar los corazones heridos,
a proclamar liberación a los cautivos
y libertad a los prisioneros,
2 a pregonar el año del favor del Señor
y el día de la venganza de nuestro Dios,
a consolar a todos los que están de duelo,
3 y a confortar a los dolientes de Sión.
Me ha enviado a darles una corona
en vez de cenizas,
aceite de alegría
en vez de luto,
traje de fiesta
en vez de espíritu de desaliento.
Serán llamados robles de justicia,
plantío del Señor, para mostrar su gloria.
4 Reconstruirán las ruinas antiguas,
y restaurarán los escombros de antaño;
repararán las ciudades en ruinas,
y los escombros de muchas generaciones.
5 Gente extraña pastoreará
vuestros rebaños,
y vuestros campos y viñedos serán labrados
por un pueblo extranjero.
6 Pero a vosotros os llamarán «sacerdotes del Señor»;
os dirán «ministros de nuestro Dios».
Os alimentaréis de las riquezas de las naciones,
y os jactaréis de los tesoros de ellas.
7 En vez de vuestra vergüenza,
mi pueblo recibirá doble porción;
en vez de deshonra,
se regocijará en su herencia;
y así en su tierra recibirá doble herencia,
y su alegría será eterna.
8 «Yo, el Señor, amo la justicia,
pero odio el robo y la iniquidad.
En mi fidelidad los recompensaré
y haré con ellos un pacto eterno.
9 Sus descendientes serán conocidos entre las naciones,
y sus vástagos, entre los pueblos.
Quienes los vean reconocerán
que ellos son descendencia bendecida por el Señor».
10 Me deleito mucho en el Señor;
me regocijo en mi Dios.
Porque él me vistió con ropas de salvación
y me cubrió con el manto de la justicia.
Soy semejante a un novio que luce su diadema,
o una novia adornada con sus joyas.
11 Porque así como la tierra hace que broten los retoños,
y el huerto hace que germinen las semillas,
así el Señor omnipotente hará que broten
la justicia y la alabanza ante todas las naciones.
