< 以賽亞書 53 >

1 有誰會相信我們的報道呢﹖上主的手臂又向誰顯示了呢﹖
Who would have believed our report? and the arm of the Lord—over whom hath it been revealed?
2 他在上主前生長如嫩芽,又像出自乾地中的根苗;他沒有俊美,也沒有華麗,可使我們瞻仰;他沒有儀容,可使我們戀慕。
Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.
3 他受盡了侮辱,被人遺棄;他真是個苦人,熟悉病苦;他好像一個人們掩面不顧的人;他受盡了侮辱,因而我們都以他不算什麼。
He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 然而他所背負的,是我們的疾苦;擔負的,是我們的疼痛;我們還以為他受了懲罰,為天主所擊傷,和受貶抑的人。
But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 可是他被刺透,是因了我們的悖逆;他被打傷,是因了我們的罪惡;因他受了懲罰,我們便得了安全;因他受了創傷,我們便得了痊癒。
Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.
6 我們都像羊一樣迷了路,各走各自的路;但上主卻把我們眾人的罪過歸到他身上。
We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt of us all.
7 他受虐待,仍然謙遜忍受,總不開口,如同被牽去待宰的羔羊;又像母羊在剪毛的人前不出聲,他也同樣不開口。
He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.
8 他受了不義的審判而被除掉,有誰懷念他的命運﹖其實他從活人的地上被剪除,受難至死,是為了我人民的罪過。
Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation—who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, [that] for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?
9 雖然他從未行過強暴,他口中也從未出過謊言,人們仍把他與歹徒同埋,使他同作惡的人同葬。
And he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the [godless] rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 上主的旨意是要苦難折磨他;當他犧牲了自己的性命,作了贖過祭時,他要看見他的後輩延年益壽,上主的旨意也藉他的手得以實現。
But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when [now] his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see [his] seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 在他受盡了痛苦之後,他要看見光明,並因自己的經歷而滿足;我正義的僕人要使多人成義,因為他承擔了他們的罪過。
[Freed] from the trouble of his soul shall he see [the good] and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.
12 為此,我把大眾賜與他作報酬,他獲得了無數的人作為獵物;因為他為了承擔大眾的罪過,作罪犯的中保,犧牲了自己的性命,至於死亡,被列於罪犯之中。
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let [evil] befall him.
