| | 1 | 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、〔或作傳福音給貧窮的人〕差遣我醫好傷心的人、報告被擄的得釋放、被囚的出監牢．
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,
| |
| | 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．
to proclaim the year of the LORD'S favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
| |
| | 3 | 賜華冠與錫安悲哀的人、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。
and provide for those who grieve in Zion--to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
| |
| | 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。
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
| |
| | 5 | 那時、外人必起來牧放你們的羊群、外邦人必作你們耕種田地的、修理葡萄園的。
Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
| |
| | 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．你們必喫用列國的財物、因得他們的榮耀自誇。
And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
| |
| | 7 | 你們必得加倍的好處、代替所受的羞辱．分中所得的喜樂、必代替所受的凌辱．在境內必得加倍的產業．永遠之樂必歸與你們．〔原文作他們〕
Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
| |
| | 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．
"For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.
| |
| | 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。
Their descendants 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."
| |
| | 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、又像新婦佩戴妝飾。
I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
| |
| | 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。
For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
