< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
Quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
2 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.
Et ascendet sicut virgultum coram eo, et sicut radix de terra sitienti: non est species ei, neque decor: et vidimus eum, et non erat aspectus, et desideravimus eum:
3 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.
Despectum, et novissimum virorum, virum dolorum, et scientem infirmitatem: et quasi absconditus vultus eius et despectus, unde nec reputavimus eum.
4 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.
Vere languores nostros ipse tulit, et dolores nostros ipse portavit: et nos putavimus eum quasi leprosum, et percussum a Deo et humiliatum.
5 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.
Ipse autem vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras, attritus est propter scelera nostra: disciplina pacis nostrae super eum, et livore eius sanati sumus.
6 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.
Omnes nos quasi oves erravimus, unusquisque in viam suam declinavit: et posuit Dominus in eo iniquitatem omnium nostrum.
7 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.
Oblatus est quia ipse voluit, et non aperuit os suum: sicut ovis ad occisionem ducetur, et quasi agnus coram tondente se obmutescet, et non aperiet os suum.
8 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.
De angustia, et de iudicio sublatus est: generationem eius quis enarrabit? quia abscissus est de terra viventium: propter scelus populi mei percussi eum.
9 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.
Et dabit impios pro sepultura, et divitem pro morte sua: eo quod iniquitatem non fecerit, neque dolus fuerit in ore eius.
10 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.
Et Dominus voluit conterere eum in infirmitate: si posuerit pro peccato animam suam, videbit semen longaevum, et voluntas Domini in manu eius dirigetur.
11 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.
Pro eo quod laboravit anima eius, videbit et saturabitur: in scientia sua iustificabit ipse iustus servus meus multos, et iniquitates eorum ipse portabit.
12 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.
Ideo dispertiam ei plurimos: et fortium dividet spolia, pro eo quod tradidit in mortem animam suam, et cum sceleratis reputatus est: et ipse peccata multorum tulit, et pro transgressoribus rogavit.
