The Ruach of Adonoi HASHEM is upon me, because HASHEM mashach (hath anointed) me to preach besurah (good news, glad tidings) unto the anavim (meek, poor, oppressed); He hath sent me to bind up the nishberei lev (the brokenhearted), to proclaim deror (freedom, liberty) for the shevuyim ([Golus] captives), and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the Shnat Ratzon L'HASHEM (the year of the L-rdʼs favor and grace), and the Yom Nakam L'Eloheinu (our G-dʼs Day of Vengeance); to comfort all the avelim (mourners); To grant unto Avelei Tziyon (Mourners of Zion), giving unto them a flower wreath instead of ashes, the shemen sasson (oil of joy) instead of avel (mourning), the garment of tehillah (praise) for the ruach of keheh (fainting, a heavy spirit); that they might be called Eilei HaTzedek (Oaks of Righteousness), the planting of HASHEM, that He might be glorified.
