Isaija 53
1 Ko vjerova propovijedanju našemu, i mišica Gospodnja kome se otkri?
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 Jer iznièe pred njim kao šibljika, i kao korijen iz suhe zemlje; ne bi oblièja ni ljepote u njega; i vidjesmo ga, i ne bješe ništa na oèima, èega radi bismo ga poželjeli.
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 Prezren bješe i odbaèen izmeðu ljudi, bolnik i vièan bolestima, i kao jedan od koga svak zaklanja lice, prezren da ga ni za što ne uzimasmo.
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 A on bolesti naše nosi i nemoæi naše uze na se, a mi mišljasmo da je ranjen, da ga Bog bije i muèi.
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 Ali on bi ranjen za naše prijestupe, izbijen za naša bezakonja; kar bješe na njemu našega mira radi, i ranom njegovom mi se iscijelismo.
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 Svi mi kao ovce zaðosmo, svaki nas se okrenu svojim putem, i Gospod pusti na nj bezakonje svijeh nas.
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 Muèen bi i zlostavljen, ali ne otvori usta svojih; kao jagnje na zaklanje voðen bi i kao ovca nijema pred onijem koji je striže ne otvori usta svojih.
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 Od tjeskobe i od suda uze se, a rod njegov ko æe iskazati? jer se istrže iz zemlje živijeh i za prijestupe naroda mojega bi ranjen.
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 Odrediše mu grob sa zloèincima, ali na smrti bi s bogatijem, jer ne uèini nepravde, niti se naðe prijevara u ustima njegovijem.
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 Ali Gospodu bi volja da ga bije, i dade ga na muke; kad položi dušu svoju u prinos za grijeh, vidjeæe natražje, produljiæe dane, i što je Gospodu ugodno napredovaæe njegovom rukom.
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 Vidjeæe trud duše svoje i nasitiæe se; pravedni sluga moj opravdaæe mnoge svojim poznanjem, i sam æe nositi bezakonja njihova.
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 Zato æu mu dati dio za mnoge, i sa silnima æe dijeliti plijen, jer je dao dušu svoju na smrt, i bi metnut meðu zloèince, i sam nosi grijehe mnogih, i za zloèince se moli.
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
