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.
以赛亚书 61
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
宣告救恩的好信息
61 主耶和華的靈在我身上，
因為耶和華膏了我，
叫我傳福音給困苦的人；
差遣我去醫治傷心的人，
向被擄的宣告自由，
向被囚的宣告釋放；
2 宣告耶和華悅納人的禧年，
和我們的 神報仇的日子；
安慰悲哀的人，
3 為錫安悲哀的人穿上裝飾，
賜給他們華冠代替灰塵，
喜樂油代替悲哀，
讚美衣代替沮喪的靈，
他們必稱為公義的橡樹，
是耶和華栽種的，好使他自己得著榮耀。
4 他們必重建久已廢棄的荒場，
建立先前荒涼之地；
重修荒廢了的城鎮，
就是歷代荒涼之處。
5 那時，外人要服事你們，牧放你們的羊群，
外族人要作你們的農夫和葡萄園丁。
6 至於你們，卻要稱為耶和華的祭司，
人必稱你們為我們 神的僕人；
你們要享用列國的財富，
因得著他們的榮耀而誇耀。
7 你們必得加倍的分，代替你們所受的羞愧，
他們因自己所得的分而歡呼，代替羞辱，
所以在他們的境內，他們必擁有加倍的產業，
他們必有永遠的喜樂。
8 因為我耶和華喜愛公平，
恨惡不義的搶奪；
我要憑真理賞賜他們，
與他們立永遠的約。
9 他們的後裔必在列國中被人認識，
他們的子孫在萬民中也必這樣；
看見他們的，
都必承認他們是耶和華賜福的後裔。
10 我因耶和華大大歡喜，
我的心靠著我的 神快樂，
因為他給我穿上救恩的衣服，
給我披上公義的外袍，
好像新郎戴上華冠，
又像新娘佩戴裝飾。
11 地怎樣發生苗芽，
園子怎樣使所種的生長起來，
主耶和華也必怎樣使公義和讚美，
在萬國之前生長出來。
