A Reading Form the Book of th Prophet Isaiah 61: 1-2, 10-11

61:1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,
61:2 and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,
61:5 And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.
61:10 Ma tunnen suurt rõõmu Issandast, ja mu hing rõõmustab oma Jumalast. Sest ta on mind riietanud päästerõivastega, ja ta mähkis mind õigluse riietesse, nagu krooniga riietatud peigmees, ja nagu oma juveelidega ehitud pruut.
61:11 Sest nii nagu maa toob välja oma seemikud ja aed annab oma seemned, nõnda toob Issand Jumal esile õiguse ja kiituse kõigi rahvaste silmis.
