< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
مَنْ صَدَّقَ خَبَرَنَا، وَلِمَنِ ٱسْتُعْلِنَتْ ذِرَاعُ ٱلرَّبِّ؟١
2 For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
نَبَتَ قُدَّامَهُ كَفَرْخٍ وَكَعِرْقٍ مِنْ أَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ، لَا صُورَةَ لَهُ وَلَا جَمَالَ فَنَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَا مَنْظَرَ فَنَشْتَهِيَهُ.٢
3 Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
مُحْتَقَرٌ وَمَخْذُولٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، رَجُلُ أَوْجَاعٍ وَمُخْتَبِرُ ٱلْحَزَنِ، وَكَمُسَتَّرٍ عَنْهُ وُجُوهُنَا، مُحْتَقَرٌ فَلَمْ نَعْتَدَّ بِهِ.٣
4 But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
لَكِنَّ أَحْزَانَنَا حَمَلَهَا، وَأَوْجَاعَنَا تَحَمَّلَهَا. وَنَحْنُ حَسِبْنَاهُ مُصَابًا مَضْرُوبًا مِنَ ٱللهِ وَمَذْلُولًا.٤
5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
وَهُوَ مَجْرُوحٌ لِأَجْلِ مَعَاصِينَا، مَسْحُوقٌ لِأَجْلِ آثَامِنَا. تَأْدِيبُ سَلَامِنَا عَلَيْهِ، وَبِحُبُرِهِ شُفِينَا.٥
6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
كُلُّنَا كَغَنَمٍ ضَلَلْنَا. مِلْنَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِ، وَٱلرَّبُّ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ جَمِيعِنَا.٦
7 Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
ظُلِمَ أَمَّا هُوَ فَتَذَلَّلَ وَلَمْ يَفْتَحْ فَاهُ. كَشَاةٍ تُسَاقُ إِلَى ٱلذَّبْحِ، وَكَنَعْجَةٍ صَامِتَةٍ أَمَامَ جَازِّيهَا فَلَمْ يَفْتَحْ فَاهُ.٧
8 They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
مِنَ ٱلضُّغْطَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ أُخِذَ. وَفِي جِيلِهِ مَنْ كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قُطِعَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، أَنَّهُ ضُرِبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَنْبِ شَعْبِي؟٨
9 And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
وَجُعِلَ مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ قَبْرُهُ، وَمَعَ غَنِيٍّ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ. عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ ظُلْمًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي فَمِهِ غِشٌّ.٩
10 And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَسُرَّ بِأَنْ يَسْحَقَهُ بِٱلْحَزَنِ. إِنْ جَعَلَ نَفْسَهُ ذَبِيحَةَ إِثْمٍ يَرَى نَسْلًا تَطُولُ أَيَّامُهُ، وَمَسَرَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِهِ تَنْجَحُ.١٠
11 ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
مِنْ تَعَبِ نَفْسِهِ يَرَى وَيَشْبَعُ، وَعَبْدِي ٱلْبَارُّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ يُبَرِّرُ كَثِيرِينَ، وَآثَامُهُمْ هُوَ يَحْمِلُهَا.١١
12 For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
لِذَلِكَ أَقْسِمُ لَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ وَمَعَ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ يَقْسِمُ غَنِيمَةً، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ سَكَبَ لِلْمَوْتِ نَفْسَهُ وَأُحْصِيَ مَعَ أَثَمَةٍ، وَهُوَ حَمَلَ خَطِيَّةَ كَثِيرِينَ وَشَفَعَ فِي ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ.١٢
