Isaías 53
1 ¿Quién ha creído en nuestro mensaje? ¿A quién se le ha revelado el brazo de Yahvé?
(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 Porque creció ante él como una planta tierna, y como una raíz de la tierra seca. No tiene buen aspecto ni majestuosidad. Cuando lo vemos, no hay belleza que nos haga desearlo.
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 Fue despreciado y rechazada por los hombres, un hombre que sufre y familiarizado con la enfermedad. Fue despreciado como alguien de quien los hombres ocultan su rostro; y no lo respetamos.
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 Ciertamente ha soportado nuestra enfermedad y llevó nuestro sufrimiento; sin embargo, lo consideramos plagado, golpeado por Dios, y afligido.
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 Pero fue traspasado por nuestras transgresiones. Fue aplastado por nuestras iniquidades. El castigo que trajo nuestra paz estuvo en él; y por sus heridas quedamos curados.
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 Todos nosotros, como ovejas, nos hemos extraviado. Cada uno se ha vuelto a su manera; y Yahvé ha hecho recaer sobre él la iniquidad de todos nosotros.
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 Estaba oprimido, sin embargo, cuando fue afligido no abrió la boca. Como un cordero que es llevado al matadero, y como una oveja que ante sus esquiladores calla, así que no abrió la boca.
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 Fue llevado por la opresión y el juicio. En cuanto a su generación, que consideraba que había sido eliminado de la tierra de los vivos y golpeado por la desobediencia de mi pueblo?
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 Hicieron su tumba con los malvados, y con un hombre rico en su muerte, aunque no había ejercido ninguna violencia, ni hubo engaño en su boca.
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 Sin embargo, a Yahvé le agradó herirlo. Le ha hecho sufrir. Cuando haces de su alma una ofrenda por el pecado, verá a su descendencia. Prolongará sus días y la voluntad de Yahvé prosperará en su mano.
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 Tras el sufrimiento de su alma, verá la luz y estará satisfecho. Mi siervo justo justificará a muchos por el conocimiento de sí mismo; y cargará con sus iniquidades.
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 Por eso le daré una parte con los grandes. Repartirá el botín con los fuertes, porque derramó su alma hasta la muerte y fue contado con los transgresores; pero llevó los pecados de muchos e intercedió por los transgresores.
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].
