< Isaiah 53 >
1 Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, On whom has it been revealed?
有誰會相信我們的報道呢﹖上主的手臂又向誰顯示了呢﹖
2 Indeed, He comes up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of dry land, He has no form or splendor when we observe Him, Nor appearance, that we desire Him.
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。
3 He is despised, and left of men, A Man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we did not esteem Him.
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。
4 Surely He has borne our sicknesses, And our pains—He has carried them, And we have esteemed Him [as] plagued, struck of God, and afflicted.
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。
5 And He is pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, The discipline of our peace [is] on Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
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。
6 All of us, like sheep, have wandered, Man has turned to his own way, And YHWH has laid on Him the punishment of us all.
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。
7 It has been exacted, and He has answered, And He does not open His mouth, He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He does not open His mouth.
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。
8 By restraint and by judgment He has been taken, And of His generation who meditates, That He has been cut off from the land of the living? He is plagued by the transgression of My people,
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。
9 And He appoints His grave with the wicked, And with the rich at His death, Because He has done no violence, Nor [is] deceit in His mouth.
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。
10 And YHWH has delighted to crush Him, He has made Him sick; If His soul makes an offering for guilt, He sees [His] seed—He prolongs [His] days, And the pleasure of YHWH prospers in His hand.
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。
11 Of the labor of His soul He sees—He is satisfied, Through His knowledge My Righteous Servant gives righteousness to many, And He bears their iniquities.
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。
12 Therefore I give a portion to Him among the many, And He apportions spoil with the mighty, Because that He exposed His soul to death, And He was numbered with transgressors, And He has borne the sin of many, And He intercedes for transgressors.
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。
