aThe Spirit of the Lord God is upon me;
Because the Lord bhath anointed me cto preach good tidings unto dthe meek;
He hath sent me eto bind up fthe brokenhearted,
gTo proclaim liberty to the captives,
And hthe opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2iTo proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,
And kthe day of vengeance of our God;
lTo comfort all that mourn;
3To appoint unto lthem that mourn in Zion,
mTo give unto them nbeauty for ashes,
oThe oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they might be called ptrees of righteousness,
qThe planting of the Lord, qrthat he might be glorified.
4And sthey shall build the old wastes,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the waste cities,
tThe desolations of many generations.
5And ustrangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And vthe sons of uthe alien shall be wyour plowmen and your vinedressers.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The 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;
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn;
to 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.
They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks;
foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.

NLTNew Living Translation
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins,
repairing cities destroyed long ago.
They will revive them,
though they have been deserted for many generations.
Foreigners will be your servants.
They will feed your flocks
and plow your fields
and tend your vineyards.

The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is upon me,
because Yahweh has anointed me,
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim release to the captives
and liberation to those who are bound,
to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor,
and our God’s day of vengeance,
to comfort all those in mourning,
to give for those in mourning in Zion,
to give them a head wrap instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
a garment of praise instead of a faint spirit.
And they will be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of Yahweh, to show his glory.
And they shall build the ancient ruins,
they shall erect the former deserted places.
And they shall restore the devastated cities,
the deserted places of many generations.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
and foreigners shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
