Isaia 53
1 Cine a crezut vestea noastră şi cui i s-a arătat braţul DOMNULUI?
Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 Fiindcă el va creşte înaintea lui ca un lăstar şi ca o rădăcină dintr-un pământ uscat, nu va avea nici formă nici frumuseţe; şi când îl vom vedea, nu va avea frumuseţe ca să îl dorim.
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.
3 El este dispreţuit şi respins de oameni; un om al întristărilor şi obişnuit cu mâhnirea, şi ne-am ascuns de el cum ne-am ascunde feţele, a fost dispreţuit şi noi nu l-am preţuit.
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.
4 Cu adevărat el a purtat mâhnirile noastre şi a luat asupra lui întristările noastre, totuşi l-am socotit bătut, lovit de Dumnezeu şi chinuit.
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.
5 Dar el a fost rănit pentru fărădelegile noastre, zdrobit pentru nelegiuirile noastre, pedeapsa păcii noastre a fost asupra lui; şi prin loviturile lui suntem vindecaţi.
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.
6 Noi toţi ca oi am rătăcit; ne-am întors fiecare la propria cale; şi DOMNUL a aşezat pe el nelegiuirea noastră a tuturor.
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.
7 A fost oprimat şi a fost chinuit, totuşi nu şi-a deschis gura, este adus ca un miel la măcel, ca o oaie mută înaintea tunzătorilor, astfel nu şi-a deschis gura.
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.
8 A fost luat de la închisoare şi de la judecată, şi cine va vesti generaţia lui? Fiindcă a fost stârpit din ţara celor vii, pentru fărădelegea poporului meu a fost el lovit.
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.
9 Şi în moartea lui şi-a rânduit mormântul cu cei stricaţi şi cu cei bogaţi, pentru că nu făcuse nimic violent, nici nu era vreo înşelăciune în gura lui.
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.
10 Totuşi DOMNULUI i-a plăcut să îl zdrobească; l-a supus suferinţei; când tu îi vei face sufletul o ofrandă pentru păcat, el va vedea sămânţa lui, îşi va prelungi zilele şi plăcerea DOMNULUI va prospera în mâna lui.
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.
11 Va vedea din rodul ostenelii sufletului său şi va fi satisfăcut, prin cunoaşterea lui, servitorul meu cel drept va declara drepţi pe cei mulţi; şi el va lua asupra lui nelegiuirile lor.
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.
12 De aceea îi voi da partea lui cu cei mari şi va împărţi prada cu cei puternici, pentru că şi-a turnat sufletul până la moarte şi a fost numărat cu călcătorii [de lege]; şi a purtat păcatul multora şi a mijlocit pentru călcătorii [de lege].
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.
