Di Papa im Spirit Anoint Me
Di anointed speaker call di people wey dem send am go meet: di poor, di people wey their heart don break, prisoners, people wey dey mourn for Zion. Dem exchange ashes for crown, despair for praise. Our Papa talk say e love justice and e hate robbery, and na di people wey dem shame go rebuild di city wey don scatter.
61 1Di Spirit of di Sovereign Papa dey on top me, bicos our Papa don anoint me to bring good news give poor people. E don send me make I bind up dem wey dem heart don break, to announce freedom give dem wey dem hold captive, and release give dem wey darkness tie, a a v1 Jesus open im public ministry by reading dis very words for di Nazareth synagogue and E talk say, “Today dis Scripture don happen for una ear” (Luke 4:18-21). Di Servant wey dey talk here na Jesus — di Spirit anoint am, our Papa send am. 2to announce di year of our Papa im favor and di day wey our Papa go set tins right, to comfort all wey dey mourn, 3to take care of dem wey dey mourn for Zion—to give dem crown of fine-fine beauty instead of ashes, di oil of gladness instead of mourning, cloth of praise instead of spirit wey don lose hope; so dem go call dem oak trees of correct-and-holy way, wey our Papa plant, so dat E go get glory.
4Dem go build back di old-old ruins and raise up di places wey don spoil tey; dem go repair di cities wey don scatter, wey don dey empty for plenty generations. 5Strangers go mind una animals; foreigners go be di people wey dey plow una ground and work for una vineyard. 6But dem go call una di priests of our Papa; dem go name una di ministers of our Papa. Una go chop di wealth of di nations, and una go take dem riches boast. 7Instead of una shame, una go receive double portion, and instead of disgrace, una go rejoice for una inheritance; so una go get double portion for una land, and joy wey no dey end go be una own.
8“Bicos Me, una Papa, I love justice; I hate tiefing and bad-bad tin. For My faithfulness I go reward My people and make Covenant wey no go end with dem. 9Dem pikin dem go dey known among di nations and dem generation among di peoples; all wey see dem go gree say na di children wey our Papa don bless.”
10I go rejoice well-well for our Papa; my soul go jump for joy for our Papa. Bicos E don dress me with cloth of salvation and cover me with robe of correct-and-holy way, as bridegroom dey adorn im head like priest, and as bride dey adorn herself with her jewels. b b v10 For ancient Israel, bridegroom dem bin dey wear ornamental headdress for dem wedding, just as priests dey wear am for temple service. 11Bicos as di ground dey bring out im shoots, and as garden dey make wetin dem plant grow come out, na so di Sovereign Papa go make correct-and-holy way and praise grow come out before all di nations.
