< اشعیا 53 >

چه کسی پیام ما را باور کرده، و بازوی توانای خداوند بر چه کسی آشکار شده است! 1
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
در نظر خدا او مانند درخت سبزی بود که در زمین خشک و شوره‌زار روییده و ریشه دوانده باشد؛ اما در نظر ما او زیبایی و جلوه‌ای نداشت که مشتاقش باشیم. 2
And he will rise up like a tender plant in his sight, and like a root from the thirsty ground. There is no beautiful or stately appearance in him. For we looked upon him, and there was no aspect, such that we would desire him.
او را خوار شمردیم و رد کردیم، اما او درد و غم ما را تحمل کرد. همهٔ ما از او رو برگردانیدیم. او خوار شد و ما هیچ اهمیت ندادیم. 3
He is despised and the least among men, a man of sorrows who knows infirmity. And his countenance was hidden and despised. Because of this, we did not esteem him.
این دردهای ما بود که او به جان گرفته بود، این رنجهای ما بود که او بر خود حمل می‌کرد؛ اما ما گمان کردیم این درد و رنج مجازاتی است که خدا بر او فرستاده است. 4
Truly, he has taken away our weaknesses, and he himself has carried our sorrows. And we thought of him as if he were a leper, or as if he had been struck by God and humiliated.
برای گناهان ما بود که او مجروح شد و برای شرارت ما بود که او را زدند. او تنبیه شد تا ما سلامتی کامل داشته باشیم. از زخمهای او ما شفا یافتیم. 5
But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed.
ما همچون گوسفندانی که آواره شده باشند، گمراه شده بودیم؛ راه خدا را ترک کرده به راههای خود رفته بودیم. با وجود این، خداوند تقصیرها و گناهان همهٔ ما را به حساب او گذاشت! 6
We have all gone astray like sheep; each one has turned aside to his own way. And the Lord has placed all our iniquity upon him.
با او با بی‌رحمی رفتار کردند، اما او تحمل کرد و زبان به شکایت نگشود. همچنانکه بَره را به سوی کشتارگاه می‌برند، او را نیز به کشتارگاه بردند. او مثل گوسفندی که پشمهایش را می‌چینند، لب به اعتراض نگشود. 7
He was offered up, because it was his own will. And he did not open his mouth. He will be led like a sheep to the slaughter. And he will be mute like a lamb before his shearer. For he will not open his mouth.
به ناحق او را به مرگ سپردند و کسی از نسل او اعتراض نکرد. زیرا او از دنیای زندگان منقطع شد؛ آری، به سبب عصیان قوم من مجازات شد. 8
He was lifted up from anguish and judgment. Who will describe his life? For he has been cut off from the land of the living. Because of the wickedness of my people, I have struck him down.
هنگامی که خواستند او را همراه خطاکاران دفن کنند، او را در قبر مردی ثروتمند گذاشتند؛ اما هیچ خطایی از او سر نزده بود و هیچ حرف نادرستی از دهانش بیرون نیامده بود. 9
And he will be given a place with the impious for his burial, and with the rich for his death, though he has done no iniquity, nor was deceit in his mouth.
خداوند می‌فرماید: «این خواست من بود که او رنج بکشد و بمیرد. او جانش را قربانی کرد تا آمرزش گناهان را به ارمغان آورد، بنابراین صاحب فرزندان بی‌شمار خواهد شد. او زندگی را از سر خواهد گرفت و ارادهٔ من به دست او اجرا خواهد شد. 10
But it was the will of the Lord to crush him with infirmity. If he lays down his life because of sin, he will see offspring with long lives, and the will of the Lord will be directed by his hand.
هنگامی که ببیند عذابی که کشیده چه ثمری به بار آورده، راضی و خشنود خواهد شد. خدمتگزار عادل من بار گناهان بسیاری از مردم را به دوش خواهد گرفت و من به خاطر او آنها را خواهم بخشید. 11
Because his soul has labored, he will see and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my just servant will himself justify many, and he himself will carry their iniquities.
به او مقامی بزرگ و قدرتی عظیم خواهم داد، زیرا او خود را فدا کرد، از خطاکاران محسوب شد، بار گناهان بسیاری را بر دوش گرفت و برای خطاکاران شفاعت کرد.» 12
Therefore, I will allot to him a great number. And he will divide the spoils of the strong. For he has handed over his life to death, and he was reputed among criminals. And he has taken away the sins of many, and he has prayed for the transgressors.
