Exaltation of the Afflicted
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed and commissioned me
To bring good news to the humble and afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted,
To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives
And freedom to prisoners,(A)
2
To proclaim [a]the favorable year of the Lord,
[b]And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God,
To comfort all who mourn,(B)
3
To grant to those who mourn in Zion the following:
To give them a [c]turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
The oil of joy instead of mourning,
The garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
So they will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God],
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
4
Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up and restore the former desolations;
And they will renew the ruined cities,
The desolations (deserted settlements) of many generations.
5
Strangers will stand and feed your flocks,
And foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
6
But you shall be called the priests of the Lord;
People will speak of you as the ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations,
And you will boast of their riches.(C)
7
Instead of your [former] shame you will have a [d]double portion;
And instead of humiliation your people will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore in their land they will possess double [what they had forfeited];
Everlasting joy will be theirs.
8
For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery with [e]a burnt offering.
And I will faithfully reward them,
And make an everlasting covenant with them.
9
Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants among the peoples.
All who see them [in their prosperity] will recognize and acknowledge them
That they are the people whom the Lord has blessed.
10
I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has covered me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom puts on a [f]turban,
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 spring up,
So the Lord God will [most certainly] cause righteousness and justice and praise
To spring up before all the nations [through the power of His word].

- Isaiah 61:8 Another reading is wrongdoing or malice, but by itself either would hardly be an improvement. Some prefer to read with as “and,” which requires the assumption of a scribal error that is possible though not found in existing manuscripts. It would also raise the question of why robbery is singled out among other kinds of wrongdoing. In the Talmud the verse is taken to refer literally to the theft of an animal which the thief intends to offer as a sacrifice. The point is that the offering is unacceptable even though everything actually belongs to God and the thief arguably is only returning to God what is His.

61 Ang Espiritu ng Panginoong Dios ay sumasa akin; sapagka't pinahiran ako ng Panginoon upang ipangaral ang mabubuting balita sa mga maamo; kaniyang sinugo ako upang magpagaling ng mga bagbag na puso, upang magtanyag ng kalayaan sa mga bihag, at magbukas ng bilangguan sa nangabibilanggo;
2 Upang magtanyag ng kalugodlugod na taon ng Panginoon, at ng kaarawan ng panghihiganti ng ating Dios; upang aliwin yaong lahat na nagsisitangis;
3 Upang iukol sila na nagsisitangis sa Sion, upang bigyan sila ng putong na bulaklak na kahalili ng mga abo, ng langis ng kagalakan na kahalili ng pagtangis, ng damit ng kapurihan na kahalili ng kabigatan ng loob; upang sila'y matawag na mga punong kahoy ng katuwiran, na pananim ng Panginoon upang siya'y luwalhatiin.
4 At sila'y magtatayo ng mga dating sira, sila'y magbabangon ng mga dating giba, at kanilang huhusayin ang mga sirang bayan, ang mga nagiba sa maraming sali't saling lahi.
5 At ang mga taga ibang lupa ay magsisitayo at mangagpapastol ng inyong mga kawan, at ang mga taga ibang lupa ay magiging inyong mga mangaararo at mangungubasan.
6 Nguni't kayo'y tatawaging mga saserdote ng Panginoon; tatawagin kayo ng mga tao na mga tagapangasiwa ng ating Dios: kayo'y magsikain ng kayamanan ng mga bansa, at sa kanilang kaluwalhatian ay mangagmamapuri kayo.
7 Kahalili ng inyong kahihiyan ay nagtatamo kayo ng ibayong karangalan; at kahalili ng pagkalito ay magagalak sila sa kanilang bahagi: kaya't sa kanilang lupain ay mangagaari sila ng ibayong kasaganaan, walang hanggang kagalakan ang mapapasa kanila.
8 Sapagka't ako, ang Panginoon, ay umiibig ng kahatulan, aking ipinagtatanim ang pagnanakaw sangpu ng kasamaan; at aking ibibigay sa kanila ang kanilang kagantihan sa katotohanan, at ako'y makikipagtipan sa kanila ng walang hanggan.
9 At ang kanilang lahi makikilala sa gitna ng mga bansa, at ang kanilang lahi sa gitna ng mga bayan: lahat na nangakakakita sa kanila ay mangakakakilala sa kanila, na sila ang lahi na pinagpala ng Panginoon.
10 Ako'y magagalak na mainam sa Panginoon, ang aking kaluluwa ay magagalak sa aking Dios; sapagka't binihisan niya ako ng mga damit ng kaligtasan; kaniyang tinakpan ako ng balabal ng katuwiran, gaya ng kasintahang lalake na nagpuputong ng putong na bulaklak, at gaya ng kasintahang babae na naggagayak ng kaniyang mga hiyas.
11 Sapagka't kung paanong ang lupa'y nagsisibol ng pananim, at kung paanong ang halamanan ay nagsisibol ng mga bagay na natanim sa kaniya; gayon pasisibulin ng Panginoong Dios ang katuwiran at kapurihan sa harap ng lahat na bansa.

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.
