1 El Espíritu de ʼAdonay Yavé está sobre Mí, porque Yavé me ungió. Me envió a predicar buenas noticias a los afligidos, a vendar los corazones quebrantados, a proclamar libertad a los cautivos y libertad a los presos, 2 a promulgar el año de la buena voluntad de Yavé y el día de venganza de nuestro ʼElohim y a consolar a todos los que lloran. 3 [Me envió] a ordenar que a los enlutados de Sion se les dé diadema de hermosura en lugar de ceniza, aceite de gozo en lugar de lamento, y el manto de alabanza en lugar de desaliento para que sean llamados árboles de justicia, plantados por Yavé para gloria suya. 4 Reconstruirán las ruinas antiguas. Levantarán los viejos escombros. Restaurarán las ciudades destruidas, los escombros de muchas generaciones. 5 Se presentarán extranjeros y pastorearán sus rebaños. Sus labradores y viñadores serán forasteros. 6 Pero ustedes serán llamados sacerdotes de Yavé. Dirán de ustedes: Ministros de nuestro ʼElohim. Comerán la riqueza de las naciones y se ufanarán en las riquezas de ellas. 7 En lugar de su vergüenza tendrán doble honra y en vez de su humillación gritarán de júbilo por su herencia. Por tanto, poseerán el doble en su tierra y tendrán gozo eterno. 8 Porque Yo, Yavé, amo la justicia. Aborrezco la rapiña para el holocausto. Pero a ellos les daré fielmente su recompensa y haré con ellos un Pacto perpetuo. 9 Su descendencia será conocida entre las naciones y sus retoños entre los pueblos. Todos los que los vean reconocerán que ellos son el linaje que Yavé bendijo. 10 Me regocijaré en Yavé en gran manera. Mi alma se alegrará en mi ʼElohim, porque me cubrió con ropas de salvación. Me envolvió en su manto de justicia. Como a un novio me atavió con una diadema, como una novia se adorna con sus joyas. 11 La tierra produce su retoño y el huerto permite que brote la semilla. Así ʼAdonay Yavé producirá justicia y la alabanza delante de todas las naciones.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… suffered in the twelfth month, so that He continued to preach for one year after His baptism; and they endeavour to establish this point out of the prophet (for it is written, "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of retribution" ), being truly blind, inasmuch as they affirm they have found out the mysteries of …
For a single person is represented as saying, "He hath decked me as a bridegroom with ornaments, and adorned me as a bride with jewels" and yet it is, of course, a matter for interpretation which of these two refers to the head and which to the body, that is, which to Christ and which to the Church.

… sent Me to preach the Gospel to the lowly, to heal the broken up in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and sight to the blind; to announce the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance; to comfort all that mourn."
