Isaias 53
1 Siasino ti mamati iti nangngeganmi? Ken siasino ti nakaiparangan ti takiag ni Yahweh?
(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]
2 Ta dimmakkel isuna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a kas iti maysa a naganus a kayo, ken kas iti mula a rimmusing manipud iti natikag a daga; awan ti nasayaat a buya wenno raniagna; idi nakitami isuna, awan ti pintasna a mangawis kadakami.
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.
3 Inuyaw ken linaksid isuna dagiti tattao; maysa a tao iti ladladingit, ken makaammo iti panagsagaba. Kas iti maysa a tao a saan a kayat a kitaen dagiti tattao, nauyaw isuna; ken imbilangtayo nga awan iti serserbina.
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.
4 Ngem pudno a binaklayna dagiti an-annayentayo ken inawitna dagiti ladingittayo; nupay kasta impagaruptayo a dusdusaen isuna ti Dios, sapsaplitan ti Dios, ken naparigat.
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].
5 Ngem nasugat isuna gapu kadagiti kinasukir nga aramidtayo; naparparigat gapu kadagiti basbasoltayo. Sinagabana ti pannusa tapno maaddaantayo iti kapia, ken babaen kadagiti sugatna napaimbagtayo.
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.
6 Maiyarigtayo amin iti karnero a naiyaw-awan; nagturongtayo kadagiti bukodtayo a dalan, ken impabaklay ni Yahweh kenkuana ti pannusa a maipatay koma kadatayo.
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.
7 Naidaddanes isuna; ngem iti panagpakumbabana ket saanna nga inlukat ti ngiwatna; a kas iti urbon a karnero a naiturong iti pakapartianna, ken kas iti karnero a naulimek iti sangoanan ti mangpukpukis kenkuana, isu a saanna nga inlukat ti ngiwatna.
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].
8 Babaen iti pannakatiliw ken pannakaukom naikeddeng isuna a madusa; siasinonto iti dayta a henerasion ti makaamiris iti maipapan kenkuana? Ngem naisina isuna manipud iti daga dagiti sibibiag; gapu kadagiti basbasol dagiti tattaok ket naipabaklay kenkuana ti pannusa.
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.
9 Pinanggepda nga itanem isuna iti denna ti tanem dagiti dakes a tao, ken iti abay ti tanem ti baknang a tao, idinto nga awan ti nagbasolanna wenno aniaman nga inuulbod iti ngiwatna.
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.
10 Nupay kasta, inkeddeng ni Yahweh ti pannakaparigat ken panagsagabana; ken no idatonna ti biagna a kas daton para iti basol, makitananto dagiti kaputotanna, taginayonenna dagiti al-aldawna, ken matungpalto ti panggep ni Yahweh babaen kenkuana.
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.
11 Kalpasan iti panagsagabana, makitananto ken mapnekto isuna iti pannakaammo mapaipanggep iti inaramidna. Palintegento ti nalinteg nga adipenko ti adu a tattao; baklayennanto dagiti basbasolda.
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.
12 Ngarud, itedkonto kenkuana ti bingayna iti sangkataoan, ken ibonongna iti kaaduan ti nasamsam, gapu ta indatonna ti biagna, ken naibilang kadagiti managlabsing. Binaklayna ti basol dagiti tattao ken nangibabaet para kadagiti managsukir.
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].
