Isaiah 53
1 Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?
Bangsa itu menjawab, "Siapa percaya akan apa yang telah kami dengar? Kepada siapa telah dinyatakan kuasa TUHAN?
2 Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we 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 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 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 our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
Sebenarnya penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, sengsara kitalah yang dideritanya, padahal kita menyangka penderitaannya itu hukuman Allah baginya.
5 And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.
Tetapi ia dilukai karena dosa-dosa kita, dan didera karena kejahatan kita. Ia dihukum supaya kita diselamatkan, karena bilur-bilurnya kita disembuhkan.
6 All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.
Kita semua tersesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari jalannya sendiri. TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita semua.
7 It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth 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 restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,
Ia ditahan dan diadili, lalu digiring dan dihukum mati. Tak ada yang peduli akan nasibnya; ia mati karena dosa bangsa kita.
9 And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor [is] deceit in his mouth.
Ia dikuburkan bersama orang jahat; makamnya di tengah-tengah orang kaya, walaupun ia tak pernah melakukan kejahatan, dan tak pernah menipu."
10 And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed — he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
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 Of the labour of his soul he seeth — he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
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 I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
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."
