Isaija 53
1 Ko vjerova propovijedanju našemu, i mišica Gospodnja kome se otkri?
(Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
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.
While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with 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 will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
4 A on bolesti naše nosi i nemoæi naše uze na se, a mi mišljasmo da je ranjen, da ga Bog bije i muèi.
But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
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 his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
6 Svi mi kao ovce zaðosmo, svaki nas se okrenu svojim putem, i Gospod pusti na nj bezakonje svijeh nas.
All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
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 will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
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.
After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
9 Odrediše mu grob sa zloèincima, ali na smrti bi s bogatijem, jer ne uèini nepravde, niti se naðe prijevara u ustima njegovijem.
Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
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.
But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
11 Vidjeæe trud duše svoje i nasitiæe se; pravedni sluga moj opravdaæe mnoge svojim poznanjem, i sam æe nositi bezakonja njihova.
When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] 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.
So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
