Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Bangsa itu menjawab, "Siapa percaya akan apa yang telah kami dengar? Kepada siapa telah dinyatakan kuasa TUHAN?
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
TUHAN menghendaki hamba-Nya itu seperti tunas yang tumbuh di tanah yang gersang. Tak ada yang indah padanya untuk kita pandang; tak ada yang menarik untuk kita inginkan.
3 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Kita menghina dan menjauhi dia, orang yang penuh sengsara dan biasa menanggung kesakitan. Tak seorang pun mau memandang dia, dan kita pun tidak mengindahkan dia.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Sebenarnya penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, sengsara kitalah yang dideritanya, padahal kita menyangka penderitaannya itu hukuman Allah baginya.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Tetapi ia dilukai karena dosa-dosa kita, dan didera karena kejahatan kita. Ia dihukum supaya kita diselamatkan, karena bilur-bilurnya kita disembuhkan.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Kita semua tersesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari jalannya sendiri. TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita semua.
7 He was oppressed, yet he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
Ia diperlakukan dengan kejam, tapi menanggungnya dengan sabar. Ia tidak membuka mulutnya seperti anak domba yang dibawa ke pembantaian atau induk domba yang dicukur bulunya.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living? for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Ia ditahan dan diadili, lalu digiring dan dihukum mati. Tak ada yang peduli akan nasibnya; ia mati karena dosa bangsa kita.
9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his month.
Ia dikuburkan bersama orang jahat; makamnya di tengah-tengah orang kaya, walaupun ia tak pernah melakukan kejahatan, dan tak pernah menipu."
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
TUHAN menghendaki bahwa ia menderita, dan menyerahkan diri sebagai kurban penghapus dosa. Maka ia akan panjang umur dan melihat keturunannya melalui dia kehendak TUHAN akan terlaksana.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many: and he shall bear their iniquities.
Karena itu TUHAN berkata, "Sesudah menderita sengsara, ia akan bahagia dan puas. Hamba-Ku itu, yang menyenangkan hati-Ku, telah menanggung hukuman orang banyak; demi dia Aku akan mengampuni mereka.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Dengan rela ia menyerahkan hidupnya dan masuk bilangan orang jahat. Ia memikul dosa orang banyak dan berdoa supaya mereka diampuni. Maka Kuberi dia orang banyak sebagai hadiah, dan ia mendapat bagian bersama orang-orang benar."
