¹ The spirit of My Lord Yahweh, is upon me, - Because Yahweh Hath anointed me to tell good tidings to the oppressed, lath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim To captives, liberty, To them who are bound, the opening of the prison;² To proclaim - The year of acceptance of Yahweh, and The day of avenging of our God: To comfort all who are mourning;³ To appoint unto the mourners of Zion - To give unto them A chaplet instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of the spirit of dejection, - So shall they be called The oaks of righteousness, The plantation of Yahweh: That he may get himself glory

⁴ Then shall they build the wastes of a bygone age, The desolations of former times, shall they raise up, - And they shall build anew - The cities laid waste, The desolations of generation after generation.⁵ Then shall strangers stay and feed your flocks, - And, the sons of the foreigner, shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.⁶ But, ye, the priests of Yahweh, shall be called, The attendants of our God, shall ye be named, - The riches of the nations, shall ye eat, And in their glory, shall ye boast yourselves.⁷ Instead of your shame, - double! and Instead of disgrace, they shall shout in triumph over their portion, - Therefore in their own land, shall they possess double, Joy age-abiding, shall be theirs.⁸ For, I, Yahweh, am a lover of justice, Hating plunder, for an ascending-sacrifice, Therefore will I give their reward with faithfulness, And an age-abiding covenant, will I solemnise for them.⁹ Then shall be known among the nations, their seed, And, their offspring, in the midst of the peoples, - A who see them, shall acknowledge them, That, they, are the seed that Yahweh hath blessed.

¹⁰ I will, greatly rejoice, in Yahweh, My soul shall exult in my God, For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness, hath he enwrapt me, - As a bridegroom, adorneth himself with, a chaplet, And as a bride, bedecketh herself with, her jewels.¹¹ For as the earth, bringeth forth her bud, And as, a garden, causeth her seeds, to shoot forth, So, My Lord, Yahweh, will cause to shoot forth Righteousness and praise before all the nations.
