Isaiah 53
1 (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]
有誰會相信我們的報道呢﹖上主的手臂又向誰顯示了呢﹖
2 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.
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 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.
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 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].
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 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.
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 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.
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 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].
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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].
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。
