اشعیا 53

1 چه کسی پیام ما را باور کرده، و بازوی توانای خداوند بر چه کسی آشکار شده است!

Jehovah, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

2 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.

For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nor special appearance that we should desire him.

3 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.

He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him.

4 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.

Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down by God, and afflicted.

5 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.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.

6 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!

We all like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Jehovah has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 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.

He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.

8 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.

In his oppression his justice was taken away. Who will consider his generation? For his life was cut off from the earth. For the transgression of my people he was led to death.

9 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.

And they assigned his grave with the wicked, yet with the rich at his death, though he had committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.

10 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.

Yet Jehovah was pleased to crush him and make him ill. Although his soul is made a reparation offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the desire of Jehovah will succeed by his hand.

11 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.

After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities.

12 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.»

Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.
