Isaias 53
1 Kinsa ba ang motuo sa ilang mga nadungog gikan kanato, ug kinsa man ang padayagan sa gahom ni Yahweh?
(Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
2 Kay motubo siya sama sa linghod nga tanom sa atubangan ni Yahweh, ug sama nga moturok kini sa uga nga yuta; dili siya maayong tan-awon o matahom; sa dihang makita nato siya, wala siyay kaanyag nga makadani kanato.
While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
3 Gitamay siya ug gisalikway sa katawhan; usa ka tawo sa kasub-anan, ug adunay kasakitan. Kansang mga tawo nga nagtabon sa ilang mga nawong palayo kaniya, ug gitamay siya; ug giisip nato siya nga walay bili.
People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
4 Apan giako niya ang atong mga kasakitan ug gipas-an ang atong mga kasub-anan; bisan pa man niana, giisip nato nga gisilotan siya sa Dios, gilatos sa Dios, ug gisakit.
But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
5 Apan gisamaran siya tungod sa daotan natong binuhatan; gidagmalan siya tungod sa atong mga sala. Nasinatian niya ang pagsilot alang sa atong kalinaw, ug nangaayo kita pinaagi sa iyang mga samad.
But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
6 Sama kitang tanan sa mga karnero nga nahisalaag; nga ang matag-usa kanato nagsubay sa kaugalingong dalan, ug gipahamtang ni Yahweh kaniya ang tanan natong kalapasan.
All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
7 Gilutos siya; bisan pa man niana gipaubos niya ang iyang kaugalingon, wala niya giablihan ang iyang baba; sama sa nating karnero nga gidala ngadto sa ihawanan, ug mihilom siya sama sa nating karnero nga dad-on sa tigtupi sa balhibo niini, busa wala siya mitingog.
He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
8 Gidakop siya ug gihukman siya sa hukmanan; wala na bay nakahunahuna mahitungod kaniya nianang panahona? Apan gipapahawa siya gikan sa yuta sa mga buhi; gisilotan siya tungod sa kasaypanan sa akong katawhan.
After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
9 Gitipon ang iyang lubnganan sa mga makasasala, uban sa tawong dato sa iyang kamatayon, bisan tuod wala siya makasala, walay pagpanglimbong sa iyang baba.
Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
10 Apan mao kini ang pagbuot ni Yahweh nga pagasamaran siya ug pagasakiton. Sa dihang gihalad niya ang iyang kinabuhi alang sa sala, makita niya ang iyang kaliwat, lugwayan niya ang iyang mga adlaw, ug matuman diha kaniya ang katuyoan ni Yahweh.
But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
11 Human sa pag-antos sa iyang kinabuhi, makita niya ang kahayag ug mapuno siya sa kahibalo. Ang akong alagad nga matarong maoy mohatag ug katarong sa kadaghanan; pas-anon niya ang ilang mga kalapasan.
When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
12 Busa ihatag ko ang iyang bahin taliwala sa kasundalohan, ug bahinon niya ang mga butang uban sa kadaghanan, kay gitugyan man niya ang iyang kaugalingon sa kamatayon ug giisip nga makasasala. Gipas-an niya ang sala sa tanan ug nangamuyo alang sa mga kasaypanan.
So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
