以賽亞書 53
1 我們所傳的有誰信呢？ 耶和華的膀臂向誰顯露呢？
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 他在耶和華面前生長如嫩芽， 像根出於乾地。 他無佳形美容； 我們看見他的時候， 也無美貌使我們羨慕他。
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 他被藐視，被人厭棄； 多受痛苦，常經憂患。 他被藐視， 好像被人掩面不看的一樣； 我們也不尊重他。
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 他誠然擔當我們的憂患， 背負我們的痛苦； 我們卻以為他受責罰， 被上帝擊打苦待了。
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 哪知他為我們的過犯受害， 為我們的罪孽壓傷。 因他受的刑罰，我們得平安； 因他受的鞭傷，我們得醫治。
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 我們都如羊走迷； 各人偏行己路； 耶和華使我們眾人的罪孽都歸在他身上。
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 他被欺壓， 在受苦的時候卻不開口； 他像羊羔被牽到宰殺之地， 又像羊在剪毛的人手下無聲， 他也是這樣不開口。
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 因受欺壓和審判，他被奪去， 至於他同世的人，誰想他受鞭打、 從活人之地被剪除， 是因我百姓的罪過呢？
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 他雖然未行強暴， 口中也沒有詭詐， 人還使他與惡人同埋； 誰知死的時候與財主同葬。
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 耶和華卻定意將他壓傷， 使他受痛苦。 耶和華以他為贖罪祭。 他必看見後裔，並且延長年日。 耶和華所喜悅的事必在他手中亨通。
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 他必看見自己勞苦的功效， 便心滿意足。 有許多人因認識我的義僕得稱為義； 並且他要擔當他們的罪孽。
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 所以，我要使他與位大的同分， 與強盛的均分擄物。 因為他將命傾倒，以致於死； 他也被列在罪犯之中。 他卻擔當多人的罪， 又為罪犯代求。
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
