Yesaya 53
1 Bangsa itu menjawab, "Siapa percaya akan apa yang telah kami dengar? Kepada siapa telah dinyatakan kuasa TUHAN?
(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 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.
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 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.
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 Sebenarnya penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, sengsara kitalah yang dideritanya, padahal kita menyangka penderitaannya itu hukuman Allah baginya.
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 Tetapi ia dilukai karena dosa-dosa kita, dan didera karena kejahatan kita. Ia dihukum supaya kita diselamatkan, karena bilur-bilurnya kita disembuhkan.
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 Kita semua tersesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari jalannya sendiri. TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita semua.
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 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 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 Ia ditahan dan diadili, lalu digiring dan dihukum mati. Tak ada yang peduli akan nasibnya; ia mati karena dosa bangsa kita.
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 Ia dikuburkan bersama orang jahat; makamnya di tengah-tengah orang kaya, walaupun ia tak pernah melakukan kejahatan, dan tak pernah menipu."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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].
