< Yesaya 53 >

1 Siapakah yang percaya kepada berita yang kami dengar, dan kepada siapakah tangan kekuasaan TUHAN dinyatakan?
Who has trusted our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?
2 Sebagai taruk ia tumbuh di hadapan TUHAN dan sebagai tunas dari tanah kering. Ia tidak tampan dan semaraknyapun tidak ada sehingga kita memandang dia, dan rupapun tidak, sehingga kita menginginkannya.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 Ia dihina dan dihindari orang, seorang yang penuh kesengsaraan dan yang biasa menderita kesakitan; ia sangat dihina, sehingga orang menutup mukanya terhadap dia dan bagi kitapun dia tidak masuk hitungan.
He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.
4 Tetapi sesungguhnya, penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, dan kesengsaraan kita yang dipikulnya, padahal kita mengira dia kena tulah, dipukul dan ditindas Allah.
Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
5 Tetapi dia tertikam oleh karena pemberontakan kita, dia diremukkan oleh karena kejahatan kita; ganjaran yang mendatangkan keselamatan bagi kita ditimpakan kepadanya, dan oleh bilur-bilurnya kita menjadi sembuh.
But he was pierced for our rebellious breaches of relationships. He was crushed for our depravities (moral evils). The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his stripes and wounds we are healed and made whole.
6 Kita sekalian sesat seperti domba, masing-masing kita mengambil jalannya sendiri, tetapi TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita sekalian.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Adonai has laid on him את the depravity (moral evil) of us all.
7 Dia dianiaya, tetapi dia membiarkan diri ditindas dan tidak membuka mulutnya seperti anak domba yang dibawa ke pembantaian; seperti induk domba yang kelu di depan orang-orang yang menggunting bulunya, ia tidak membuka mulutnya.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.
8 Sesudah penahanan dan penghukuman ia terambil, dan tentang nasibnya siapakah yang memikirkannya? Sungguh, ia terputus dari negeri orang-orang hidup, dan karena pemberontakan umat-Ku ia kena tulah.
After forcible arrest and sentencing, he was taken away; את and none of his generation protested his being cut off out of the land of the living for the rebellious breach of relationship of my people, who deserved the punishment themselves.
9 Orang menempatkan kuburnya di antara orang-orang fasik, dan dalam matinya ia ada di antara penjahat-penjahat, sekalipun ia tidak berbuat kekerasan dan tipu tidak ada dalam mulutnya.
They made his grave with את the wicked, את and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Tetapi TUHAN berkehendak meremukkan dia dengan kesakitan. Apabila ia menyerahkan dirinya sebagai korban penebus salah, ia akan melihat keturunannya, umurnya akan lanjut, dan kehendak TUHAN akan terlaksana olehnya.
Yet it pleased Adonai to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. To see if he would present himself as a fault incurring guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring, and he will prolong his days, and Adonai’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
11 Sesudah kesusahan jiwanya ia akan melihat terang dan menjadi puas; dan hamba-Ku itu, sebagai orang yang benar, akan membenarkan banyak orang oleh hikmatnya, dan kejahatan mereka dia pikul.
After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction “By his knowing [pain and sacrifice]. My righteous servant will justify many; for it is their depravities (moral evils) that he suffers.
12 Sebab itu Aku akan membagikan kepadanya orang-orang besar sebagai rampasan, dan ia akan memperoleh orang-orang kuat sebagai jarahan, yaitu sebagai ganti karena ia telah menyerahkan nyawanya ke dalam maut dan karena ia terhitung di antara pemberontak-pemberontak, sekalipun ia menanggung dosa banyak orang dan berdoa untuk pemberontak-pemberon
Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, את and with the strong he will divide the spoils; because he exposed himself to death, and was counted with את the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship; while actually bearing the crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal· of many, and interceding for the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship.
