Isa 61:1-11.
繁體中文
英語原文
Isa 61:1-11.
MESSIAH'S OFFICES: RESTORATION OF ISRAEL.
Messiah announces His twofold commission to bring gospel mercy at His first coming, and judgments on unbelievers and comfort to Zion at His second coming
(Isa 61:1-9);
the language can be applied to Isaiah, comforting by his prophecies the exiles in Babylon, only in a subordinate sense.
1. is upon me; because . . . hath anointed me--quoted by Jesus as His credentials in preaching
(Lu 4:18-21).
The Spirit is upon Me in preaching, because Jehovah hath anointed Me from the womb
(Lu 1:35),
and at baptism, with the Spirit "without measure," and permanently "abiding" on Me
(Isa 11:2; Joh 1:32; 3:34; Ps 45:7;
with which compare
1Ki 1:39, 40; 19:16; Ex 29:7).
"Anointed" as Messiah, Prophet, Priest, and King.
good tidings--as the word "gospel" means.
the meek--rather, "the poor," as
Lu 4:18
has it; that is, those afflicted with calamity, poor in circumstances and in spirit
(Mt 11:5).
proclaim liberty--
(Joh 8:31-36).
Language drawn from the deliverance of the Babylonian captives, to describe the deliverance from sin and death
(Heb 2:15);
also from the "liberty proclaimed" to all bond-servants in the year of jubilee
(Isa 61:2; Le 25:10; Jer 34:8, 9).
opening of the prison--The Hebrew rather is, "the most complete opening," namely, of the eyes to them that are bound, that is, deliverance from prison, for captives are as it were blind in the darkness of prison
(Isa 14:17; 35:5; 42:7)
[EWALD]. So
Lu 4:18
and the Septuagint interpret it;
Lu 4:18,
under inspiration, adds to this, for the fuller explanation of the single clause in the Hebrew, "to set at liberty them that are bruised"; thus expressing the double "opening" implied; namely, that of the eyes
(Joh 9:39),
and that of the prison
(Ro 6:18; 7:24, 25; Heb 2:15).
His miracles were acted parables.

2. acceptable year——宣告「被擄的得釋放」的禧年
(Isa 61:1; 2Co 6:2).
day of vengeance——「悅納的恩典時期」是「一年」；「報仇」的時間不過是「一日」（參
Isa 34:8; 63:4; Mal 4:1).
耶穌
(Lu 4:20, 21)
在本句之前「合上書」；因從祂第一次到第二次降臨之間是「悅納之年」；「報仇之日」要等到祂再來之時
(2Th 1:7-9).
our God——聖徒稱祂為「我們的神」；因祂來為他們「報仇」
(Re 6:10; 19:2).
all that mourn——「一切」似乎包括屬靈的以色列哀傷者，以及字面的——他們在
Isa 61:3
被稱為「在錫安悲哀的人」，
Isa 57:18
所指的也是他們。
英語原文
2. acceptable year--the year of jubilee on which "liberty was proclaimed to the captives"
(Isa 61:1; 2Co 6:2).
day of vengeance--The "acceptable time of grace" is a "year"; the time of "vengeance" but "a day" (so
Isa 34:8; 63:4; Mal 4:1).
Jesus
(Lu 4:20, 21)
"closed the book" before this clause; for the interval from His first to His second coming is "the acceptable year"; the day of vengeance" will not be till He comes again
(2Th 1:7-9).
our God--The saints call Him "our God"; for He cometh to "avenge" them
(Re 6:10; 19:2).
all that mourn--The "all" seems to include the spiritual Israelite mourners, as well as the literal, who are in
Isa 61:3
called "them that mourn in Zion," and to whom
Isa 57:18
refers.

3. To appoint . . . to give——雙重動詞搭配同一賓語，使文體更添熾烈的熱情。
beauty for ashes——希伯來文 peer、epher 二詞在語音與意義上有文字遊戲：字面作「裝飾的頭飾」或華冠
(Eze 24:17),
在喜樂時佩戴，以取代悲哀時撒在頭上的「灰塵」
(2Sa 13:19).
oil of joy——在歡樂的筵席上，賓客被澆上芬芳的膏油
(Ps 23:5; 45:7, 8;
Am 6:6).
悲傷之時則停用
(2Sa 14:2).
garment of praise——明亮色彩的衣裳，表示感恩，取代如麻衣那樣表示沮喪的衣著
(Joh 16:20).
trees of righteousness——希伯來文作笪香樹（terebinth）；象徵在義中剛強的人，不再如從前那樣因罪和災禍而如蘆葦般彎折
(Isa 1:29, 30; 42:3;
1Ki 14:15;
Ps 1:3; 92:12-14;
Jer 17:8).
planting of . . . Lord——（見
Isa 60:21
的註解。）
that he might be glorified——
(Joh 15:8).
英語原文
3. To appoint . . . to give--The double verb, with the one and the same accusative, imparts glowing vehemence to the style.
beauty for ashes--There is a play on the sound and meaning of the Hebrew words, peer, epher, literally, "ornamental headdress" or tiara
(Eze 24:17),
worn in times of joy, instead of a headdress of "ashes," cast on the head in mourning
(2Sa 13:19).
oil of joy--Perfumed ointment was poured on the guests at joyous feasts
(Ps 23:5; 45:7, 8; Am 6:6).
On occasions of grief its use was laid aside
(2Sa 14:2).
garment of praise--bright-colored garments, indicative of thankfulness, instead of those that indicate despondency, as sackcloth
(Joh 16:20).
trees of righteousness--Hebrew, terebinth trees; symbolical of men strong in righteousness, instead of being, as heretofore, bowed down as a reed with sin and calamity
(Isa 1:29, 30; 42:3; 1Ki 14:15; Ps 1:3; 92:12-14; Jer 17:8).
planting of . . . Lord--(See on
Isa 60:21).

6. But ye——與「外人」相對。你們不必照料自己的羊群和田地：外人會為你們代勞；你們專一的事務就是作耶和華的「祭司」事奉祂
(Ex 19:6,
此事尚待實現；比較屬靈的以色列，
Isa 66:21;
1Pe 2:5, 9;
Re 1:6; 5:10).
Ministers——
(Eze 44:11).
eat . . . riches of . . . Gentiles——
(Isa 60:5-11).
in their glory . . . boast yourselves——不如作「在他們的榮耀中你們必取而代之」；你們必以自己代替他們 [MAURER]。
英語原文
6. But ye--as contrasted with the "strangers." Ye shall have no need to attend to your flocks and lands: strangers will do that for you; your exclusive business will be the service of Jehovah as His "priests"
(Ex 19:6,
which remains yet to be realized; compare as to the spiritual Israel,
Isa 66:21; 1Pe 2:5, 9; Re 1:6; 5:10).
Ministers--
(Eze 44:11).
eat . . . riches of . . . Gentiles--
(Isa 60:5-11).
in their glory . . . boast yourselves--rather, "in their splendor ye shall be substituted in their stead"; ye shall substitute yourselves [MAURER].

7. double——你們不再只有過去所得的分，不僅要得同樣多的，並且要得「雙倍」的賞賜

confusion——宜作「羞辱」或「凌辱」。
rejoice——他們要歡呼慶賽自己的分〔MAURER〕。此處由第二人稱轉為第三人稱。
in their land——標明此處所指乃字面上的以色列，而非廣義的教會。
everlasting joy——

英語原文
7. double--Instead of your past share, ye shall have not merely as much, but "double" as much reward
(Isa 40:2; Zec 9:12;
compare the third clause in this verse).
confusion--rather, "humiliation," or "contumely."
rejoice--They shall celebrate with jubilation their portion [MAURER]. Transition from the second to the third person.
in their land--marking the reference to literal Israel, not to the Church at large.
everlasting joy--
(Isa 35:10).

8. judgment——公正，這要求我應當恢復我的子民，並賜他們雙倍作為他們所受苦難的補償。
robbery for burnt offering——宜從不同的希伯來文字根，譯作罪惡的搶奪〔HORSLEY〕。 如
Job 5:6。
我恨惡那些對我子民由其仇敵所行的搶奪與不義相結合的作為，我必為以色列伸霒。
direct . . . work in truth——宜作「我必照他們工作所得的報酬賜給他們」（參
Isa 40:10，
旁註；
Isa 49:4，

Isa 62:11，
旁註），以信實成就。
英語原文
8. judgment--justice, which requires that I should restore My people, and give them double in compensation for their sufferings.
robbery for burnt offering--rather, from a different Hebrew root, the spoil of iniquity [HORSLEY]. So in
Job 5:6.
Hating, as I do, the rapine, combined with iniquity, perpetrated on My people by their enemies, I will vindicate Israel.
direct . . . work in truth--rather, "I will give them the reward of their work" (compare
Isa 40:10,

Isa 62:11,
Margin) in faithfulness.

(Isa 61:3)
為神轉回的恩惠獻上感謝（參
Lu 1:46, 47; Hab 3:18)。
salvation . . . righteousness——不可分割地相連。「袍子」是一件寬鬆的外袍，披在其他衣著之上
(Ps 132:9, 16; 149:4; Re 21:2; 19:8)。
decketh himself with ornaments——宜作「為自己做祭司的頭飾」，即華美的頭飾，如大祭司所戴的，即冠冕與其前方的金版或金冠〔AQUILA 等〕；適合「祭司的國度」，他們獻上屬靈的祭給神為常獻的祭
(Ex 19:6; Re 5:10; 20:6)。
jewels——宜作一般的「裝飾品」〔BARNES〕。
英語原文
10. Zion
(Isa 61:3)
gives thanks for God's returning favor (compare
Lu 1:46, 47; Hab 3:18).
salvation . . . righteousness--inseparably connected together. The "robe" is a loose mantle thrown over the other parts of the dress
(Ps 132:9, 16; 149:4; Re 21:2; 19:8).
decketh himself with ornaments--rather "maketh himself a priestly headdress," that is, a magnificent headdress, such as was worn by the high priest, namely, a miter and a plate, or crown of gold worn in front of it [AQUILA, &c.]; appropriate to the "kingdom of priests," dedicated to the offering of spiritual sacrifices to God continually
(Ex 19:6; Re 5:10; 20:6).
jewels--rather, "ornaments" in general [BARNES].

Isa 61:1-11.
彌賽亞的職分：以色列的復興。
彌賽亞宣告祂雙重的使命——在首次降臨時帶來福音的恩典，在第二次降臨時施行審判於不信者、賜安慰於錫安
(Isa 61:1-9);
這些話語只有在附屬意義上才能應用於以賽亞——他以預言安慰巴比倫的俘虜。
1. is upon me; because . . . hath anointed me——被耶穌引用作為祂傳道的憑據
(Lu 4:18-21).
聖靈在我傳道時在我身上，因為耶和華從母腹中已經膏了我
(Lu 1:35),
又在受洗時以「沒有限量」的聖靈膏我，並永遠「住」在我身上
(Isa 11:2; Joh 1:32; 3:34; Ps 45:7;
與之比較
1Ki 1:39, 40; 19:16; Ex 29:7).
受膏為彌賽亞——先知、祭司與君王。
good tidings——正如「福音」一詞的含義。
the meek——不如譯作「貧窮人」，如
Lu 4:18
所載；即遭患難之人，境況與心靈皆貧乏者
(Mt 11:5).
proclaim liberty——
(Joh 8:31-36).
用語取自巴比倫俘虜的獲釋，用以描述從罪與死中的釋放
(Heb 2:15);
也取自禧年向一切奴僕宣告的「自由」
(Isa 61:2; Le 25:10; Jer 34:8, 9).
opening of the prison——希伯來文不如譯作「最完全的開啟」，即向被囚之人開啟眼睛，也就是使他們從監牢中得釋放，因俘虜在監牢的黑暗中彷彿瞎眼
(Isa 14:17; 35:5; 42:7)
[EWALD]. 照樣
Lu 4:18
與七十士譯本如此解釋；
Lu 4:18
在默示之下，為了更完整地解釋希伯來文中的單一子句，加上了「叫那受壓制的得自由」；如此表達了所暗示的雙重「開啟」；即眼睛的開啟
(Joh 9:39),
與監牢的開啟
(Ro 6:18; 7:24, 25; Heb 2:15).
祂的神蹟是活的比喻。
