< Izaija 53 >

1 “Tko da povjeruje u ono što nam je objavljeno, kome se otkri ruka Jahvina?”
Who has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2 Izrastao je pred njim poput izdanka, poput korijena iz zemlje sasušene. Ne bijaše na njem ljepote ni sjaja da bismo se u nj zagledali, ni ljupkosti da bi nam se svidio.
For he grew up before Yahweh like a sapling, and like a sprout out of parched earth; he had no remarkable appearance or splendor; when we saw him, there was no beauty to attract us.
3 Prezren bješe, odbačen od ljudi, čovjek boli, vičan patnjama, od kog svatko lice otklanja, prezren bješe, odvrgnut.
He was despised and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and one familiar with pain. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised; and we considered him insignificant.
4 A on je naše bolesti ponio, naše je boli na se uzeo, dok smo mi držali da ga Bog bije i ponižava.
But surely he has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows; yet we thought he was being punished by God, struck by God, and afflicted.
5 Za naše grijehe probodoše njega, za opačine naše njega satriješe. Na njega pade kazna - radi našeg mira, njegove nas rane iscijeliše.
But he was pierced because of our rebellious deeds; he was crushed because of our sins. The punishment for our peace was on him, and with his wounds we are healed.
6 Poput ovaca svi smo lutali i svaki svojim putem je hodio. A Jahve je svalio na nj bezakonje nas sviju.
We all like sheep have gone astray; we have each turned to his own way, and Yahweh has placed on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Zlostavljahu ga, a on puštaše, i nije otvorio usta svojih. K'o jagnje na klanje odvedoše ga; k'o ovca, nijema pred onima što je strižu, nije otvorio usta svojih.
He was oppressed; yet when he humbled himself, he did not open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 Silom ga se i sudom riješiše; tko se brine za njegovu sudbinu? Da, iz zemlje živih ukloniše njega, za grijehe naroda njegova nasmrt ga izbiše.
By coercion and judgment he was condemned; who from that generation thought anymore about him? But he was cut off from the land of the living; because of the offenses of my people the penalty was put on him.
9 Ukop mu odrediše među zločincima, a grob njegov bi s bogatima, premda nije počinio nepravde nit' su mu usta laži izustila.
They placed his grave with the criminals, with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor had there been any deceit in his mouth.
10 Al' se Jahvi svidje da ga pritisne bolima. Žrtvuje li život svoj za naknadnicu, vidjet će potomstvo, produžit' sebi dane i Jahvina će se volja po njemu ispuniti.
Yet it was Yahweh's will to crush him and make him ill. When he makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and Yahweh's purpose will be accomplished through him.
11 Zbog patnje duše svoje vidjet će svjetlost i nasititi se spoznajom njezinom. Sluga moj pravedni opravdat će mnoge i krivicu njihovu na sebe uzeti.
After the suffering of his life, he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. My righteous servant will justify many; he will bear their iniquities.
12 Zato ću mu mnoštvo dati u baštinu i s mogućnicima plijen će dijeliti, jer sam se ponudio na smrt i među zlikovce bio ubrojen, da grijehe mnogih ponese na sebi i da se zauzme za zločince.
Therefore will I give him his portion among the multitudes, and he will divide the spoils with the many, because he exposed himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
