1. The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up broken hearts, to proclaim liberty to the captives, freedom to those languishing in prison;

2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

2. to announce the year of Yahweh's favor and the day of vengeance of our God; to give comfort to all who grieve;

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.

3. (to comfort those who mourn in Zion) and give them a garland instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning, and festal clothes instead of despair. They will be called oaks of integrity planted by Yahweh to show his glory.

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.

4. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and repair cities laid waste, left desolate for 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 you will be named priests of Yahweh, you will be called ministers of our God. You will feed on the wealth of nations and bathe in the splendor of their riches.

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.

7. Since my people's shame has been twofold and disgrace has been their lot, they will possess a double portion of inheritance in their land. I will give them everlasting joy.

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.

8. For I, Yahweh, love justice, I hate robbery and oppression; I will give them their due reward and 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.

9. Their descendants shall be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a race Yahweh has 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.

10. I rejoice greatly in Yahweh, my soul exults for joy in my God, for he has clothed me in the garments of his salvation, he has covered me with the robe of his righteousness, like a bridegroom wearing a garland, like a bride adorned with jewels.

This inspiring text announces the coming of the Anointed One to free the captives, comfort those who mourn, and rebuild the ancient ruins.
