1 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;

1 Spiritus Domini super me,
eo quod unxerit Dominus me;
ad annuntiandum mansuetis misit me,
ut mederer contritis corde,
et prædicarem captivis indulgentiam,
et clausis apertionem;

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

2 ut prædicarem annum placabilem Domino,
et diem ultionis Deo nostro;
ut consolarer omnes lugentes,

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 ut ponerem lugentibus Sion,
et darem eis coronam pro cinere,
oleum gaudii pro luctu,
pallium laudis pro spiritu mœroris;
et vocabuntur in ea fortes justitiæ,
plantatio Domini ad glorificandum.

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 Et ædificabunt deserta a sæculo,
et ruinas antiquas erigent,
et instaurabunt civitates desertas,
dissipatas in generationem et generationem.

5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

5 Et stabunt alieni, et pascent pecora vestra,
et filii peregrinorum agricolæ et vinitores vestri erunt.

6 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.

6 Vos autem sacerdotes Domini vocabimini:
Ministri Dei nostri, dicetur vobis,
fortitudinem gentium comedetis,
et in gloria earum superbietis.

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 Pro confusione vestra duplici et rubore,
laudabunt partem suam;
propter hoc in terra sua duplicia possidebunt,
lætitia sempiterna erit eis.

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 Quia ego Dominus diligens judicium,
et odio habens rapinam in holocausto;
et dabo opus eorum in veritate,
et fœdus perpetuum feriam eis.

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 Et scient in gentibus semen eorum,
et germen eorum in medio populorum;
omnes qui viderint eos cognoscent illos,
quia isti sunt semen cui benedixit Dominus.

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 Gaudens gaudebo in Domino,
et exsultabit anima mea in Deo meo,
quia induit me vestimentis salutis,
et indumento justitiæ circumdedit me,
quasi sponsum decoratum corona,
et quasi sponsam ornatam monilibus suis.

11 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.

11 Sicut enim terra profert germen suum,
et sicut hortus semen suum germinat,
sic Dominus Deus germinabit justitiam
et laudem coram universis gentibus.
