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？
(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 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。
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 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 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 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。
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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？
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 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。
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 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。
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 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。
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 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。
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].
