61:1 主耶和华的灵在我身上。因为耶和华用膏膏我,叫我传好信息给谦卑的人,(或作传福音给贫穷的人)差遣我医好伤心的人,报告被掳的得释放,被囚的出监牢。
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;
61:2 报告耶和华的恩年,和我们神报仇的日子。安慰一切悲哀的人。
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
61:3 赐华冠与锡安悲哀的人,代替灰尘,喜乐油,代替悲哀,赞美衣,代替忧伤之灵。使他们称为公义树,是耶和华所栽的,叫他得荣耀。
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.
61:4 他们必修造已久的荒场,建立先前凄凉之处,重修历代荒凉之城。
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.
61:5 那时,外人必起来牧放你们的羊群,外邦人必做你们耕种田地的,修理葡萄园的。
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
61:6 你们倒要称为耶和华的祭司。人必称你们为我们神的仆役。你们必吃用列国的财物,因得他们的荣耀自夸。
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.
61:7 你们必得加倍的好处,代替所受的修辱。分中所得的喜乐,必代替所受的凌辱。在境内必得加倍的产业。永远之乐必归与你们。(原文他们)
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.
61:8 因为我耶和华喜爱公平,恨恶抢夺和罪孽。我要凭诚实施行报应,并要与我的百姓立永约。
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.
61:9 他们的后裔必在列国中被人认识,他们的子孙在众民中也是如此。凡看见他们的,必认他们是耶和华赐福的后裔。
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.
61:10 我因耶和华大大欢喜,我的心靠神快乐。因他以拯救为衣给我穿上,以公义为袍给我披上,好像新郎戴上华冠,又像新妇佩戴妆饰。
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.
61:11 田地怎样使百谷发芽,园子怎样使所种的发生,主耶和华必照样使公义和赞美在万民中发出。
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.
以赛亚书61参考
这预言是否已经应验了?
61:1-2 耶稣在路加福音4章18至19节中引用了这些话。他在会堂中向人们宣读经文的时候,当读到61章2节的中间“报告耶和华的恩年”时他停了下来,卷起了书卷,说:“今天这经应验在你们耳中了”(路4:21)。61章2节的下部分“和我们神报仇的日子”,要在耶稣再来到地上掌权的时候实现。我们现在虽然处在神的恩典之下,但他的愤怒还是要来的。
你我都是神的祭司,我们的职责又是甚么呢?
61:6 在旧约中,神按立了祭司站在他和他的百姓中间。他们将神的话带给百姓,将百姓的需要和认罪带给神。在新约中,所有信徒都是神的祭司,可以读神的话寻求对神的道的理解,直接向神认罪并且向别人宣道。
以色列人为何受苦?神对此是甚么态度?
61:8 我们受苦有著许多原因:自己的错误、别人的错误或不公义。当我们为自己的错误受苦时,我们罪有应得。当我们因为他人或因不公义而受苦时,神也会生气。神在怜悯中说,他的子民的苦已经受够了。神将奖励那些因为社会的不公义而受苦的人。他将清算一切的罪。
谁是新郎?谁是新娘?
61:10 “我”可能是指弥赛亚,被主的灵膏立的那位(61:1),或代表神的百姓的锡安(62:1)。经文中的新郎形像通常被用来预表弥赛亚(参太9:15),新娘的形像则被用来预表神的百姓(参19:6-8)。我们相信基督后,也可以披上基督的公义(参林后5:21)。
