Isaiah 61
World English Bible
Isaiah 61
World English Bible
61 The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me,
because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble.
He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and release to those who are bound,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion,
to give to them a garland 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,
the planting of Yahweh,
that he may be glorified.
4 They will rebuild the old ruins.
They will raise up the former devastated places.
They will repair the ruined cities
that have been devastated for many generations.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks.
Foreigners will work your fields and your vineyards.
6 But you will be called Yahweh’s priests.
Men will call you the servants of our God.
You will eat the wealth of the nations.
You will boast in their glory.
7 Instead of your shame you will have double.
Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion.
Therefore in their land they will possess double.
Everlasting joy will be to them.
8 “For I, Yahweh, love justice.
I hate robbery and iniquity.
I will give them their reward in truth
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their offspring will be known among the nations,
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge them,
that they are the offspring which Yahweh has blessed.”
10 I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh!
My soul will be joyful in my God,
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation.
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 For as the earth produces its bud,
and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.

Ésaïe 61
La Bible du Semeur
Messager d’une bonne nouvelle
61 L’Esprit de l’Eternel, ╵du Seigneur, est sur moi
car l’Eternel m’a oint
pour annoncer aux humiliés ╵une bonne nouvelle.
Oui, il m’a envoyé ╵afin de panser ceux ╵qui ont le cœur brisé,
d’annoncer aux captifs ╵leur délivrance
et à ceux qui sont prisonniers[a] ╵leur mise en liberté[b],
2 afin de proclamer, ╵pour l’Eternel ╵une année de faveur
et un jour de rétribution ╵pour notre Dieu,
afin de consoler ╵tous ceux qui mènent deuil,
3 et d’apporter à ceux ╵qui, dans Sion, sont endeuillés,
la splendeur au lieu de la cendre,
pour mettre sur leur tête ╵l’huile de l’allégresse ╵au lieu du deuil,
et pour les vêtir d’habits de louange ╵au lieu d’un esprit abattu,
afin qu’on les appelle ╵« Les chênes de justice,
la plantation de l’Eternel
qui manifestent sa splendeur ».
4 Car ils rebâtiront ╵les ruines d’autrefois
et ils relèveront ╵ce qui a été dévasté ╵par le passé.
Oui, ils restaureront ╵les villes ravagées,
les habitats détruits ╵depuis bien des générations.
5 Des étrangers ╵viendront s’y établir,
ils feront paître vos troupeaux.
Ces gens seront vos laboureurs
et ils cultiveront ╵vos vergers et vos vignes.
6 Mais vous, on vous appellera ╵« Prêtres de l’Eternel » ;
on dira que vous êtes ╵servants de notre Dieu.
Vous jouirez ╵des trésors des nations
et vous mettrez votre fierté[c] ╵dans ce qui fait leur gloire.
7 Au lieu de votre honte,
vous aurez double honneur,
et au lieu de l’opprobre,
vous pousserez des cris de joie ╵à cause de la part ╵que vous aurez.
Car, dans votre pays, ╵vous recevrez ╵un patrimoine double.
Il y aura pour vous ╵une joie éternelle.
8 Moi, l’Eternel, ╵moi, j’aime la droiture.
Je déteste le vol ╵avec sa perfidie.
Je les rétribuerai ╵avec fidélité[d]
et je conclurai avec eux ╵une alliance éternelle.
9 Leurs descendants seront connus ╵chez les nations,
et leur progéniture ╵parmi les peuples.
Tous ceux qui les verront ╵reconnaîtront en eux
une postérité ╵bénie par l’Eternel.
10 Je serai plein de joie, ╵l’Eternel en sera la source[e].
J’exulterai ╵à cause de mon Dieu,
parce qu’il m’aura revêtu ╵des habits du salut
et qu’il m’aura enveloppé ╵du manteau de justice,
tout comme le marié ╵se pare d’un turban ╵tout comme un prêtre,
et comme la mariée ╵s’orne de ses bijoux[f].
11 Comme la terre ╵fait pousser les graines germées
et comme le jardin ╵fait germer ses semences,
ainsi le Seigneur, l’Eternel, ╵va faire germer la justice ╵et la louange
aux yeux de tous les peuples.

Isaiah 61
King James Version
Isaiah 61
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 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.
