< Yesaya 53 >

1 Bangsa itu menjawab, "Siapa percaya akan apa yang telah kami dengar? Kepada siapa telah dinyatakan kuasa TUHAN?
Who hath believed our report, And to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
2 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.
For He grew up before him like a tender plant, Like a sucker from a dry soil; He had no form, nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, Nor beauty, that we should take pleasure in him.
3 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.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with disease; As one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Sebenarnya penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, sengsara kitalah yang dideritanya, padahal kita menyangka penderitaannya itu hukuman Allah baginya.
But he bore our diseases, And carried our pains, And we esteemed him stricken from above, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Tetapi ia dilukai karena dosa-dosa kita, dan didera karena kejahatan kita. Ia dihukum supaya kita diselamatkan, karena bilur-bilurnya kita disembuhkan.
But he was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; For our peace was the chastisement upon him, And by his stripes are we healed.
6 Kita semua tersesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari jalannya sendiri. TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita semua.
All we, like sheep, were going astray; We turned every one to his own way, And Jehovah laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
7 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.
He was oppressed, that was already afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth; As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, He opened not his mouth.
8 Ia ditahan dan diadili, lalu digiring dan dihukum mati. Tak ada yang peduli akan nasibnya; ia mati karena dosa bangsa kita.
By oppression and punishment he was taken away, And who in his generation would consider That he was cut off from the land of the living, That for the transgression of my people he was smitten?
9 Ia dikuburkan bersama orang jahat; makamnya di tengah-tengah orang kaya, walaupun ia tak pernah melakukan kejahatan, dan tak pernah menipu."
His grave was appointed with the wicked, And with the rich man was his sepulchre, Although he had done no injustice, And there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 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.
It pleased Jehovah severely to bruise him; But when he hath made his life a sacrifice for sin, He shall see posterity; he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
11 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.
Free from his sorrows, he shall see and be satisfied; By his knowledge shall my righteous servant lead many to righteousness, And he shall bear their iniquities.
12 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."
Therefore will I give him his portion with the mighty, And with heroes shall he divide the spoil, Because he poured out his soul unto death, And was numbered with transgressors; Because he bore the sin of many, And made intercession for transgressors.
