1Herrens Ånd er over mig, fordi han har udvalgt mig. Han har sendt mig for at bringe godt nyt til de afmægtige og genoprette dem, hvis hjerte er knust. Jeg skal forkynde frihed for de fangne og løse de bundnes bånd.*2Det bliver en tid, hvor Herren tager imod alle, som kommer til ham, men han vil også straffe de ulydige. Han vil trøste dem, der sørger.3Ja alle, som sørger i Zion, vil han give festdragt i stedet for sæk og aske, glæde i stedet for sorg, lovsang i stedet for tungsind. De skal kaldes de retfærdige egetræer, og de skal stå som vidnesbyrd om Herrens herlighed.
Byen og landet skal genopbygges
4De hjemvendte skal bygge på ældgamle ruiner og genopbygge de ødelagte fortidsbyer, der har ligget forladt i mange generationer.5Fremmede skal vogte jeres får, pløje jeres marker og passe jeres vinmarker.6I skal kaldes Herrens præster og Guds tjenere, og I skal nyde nationernes rige ressourcer.7I stedet for den store vanære, I før var genstand for, skal I nu opleve stor fremgang og evig glæde.
Den kommende frelse og herlighed
8Herren siger: „Jeg elsker retfærdighed, og jeg hader røveri og forurettelse. Jeg vil give mit folk fuld erstatning og slutte en evig pagt med dem.9Deres efterkommere skal blive kendt blandt folkeslagene, og alle, som ser dem, skal blive klar over, at Herren velsigner sit folk.”10Jeg vil glæde mig over Herren, juble over min Gud, for han har klædt mig i frelsens klæder og hyllet mig i retfærdighedens kappe. Jeg er som en brudgom i bryllupstøj, som en brud, der er smykket til bryllup.11Som frøene spirer frem af jorden, vil Gud Herren lade retfærdighed og lovsang vokse frem for alles øjne.
English Standard Version
The Year of the Lord’s Favor
1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor;* he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;*2to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;3to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.*4They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.5Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;6but you shall be called the priests of the Lord; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast.7Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.8For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong;* I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.9Their offspring shall be known among the nations, and their descendants in the midst of the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are an offspring the Lord has blessed.10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult 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 like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.11For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.
