Isaías 53
1 ¿Quién creerá a nuestro dicho? ¿Y sobre quién será manifestado el brazo del SEÑOR?
(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 Con todo eso subirá, como renuevo, delante de él; y como raíz de tierra seca. No hay parecer en él, ni hermosura. Le veremos, mas sin atractivo para que le deseemos.
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 Despreciado, y desechado entre los hombres, varón de dolores, experimentado en flaqueza; y como que escondimos de él el rostro, fue menospreciado, y no lo estimamos.
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 llevó él nuestras enfermedades, y sufrió nuestros dolores; y nosotros le tuvimos por azotado, por herido de Dios y abatido.
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 Mas él herido fue por nuestras rebeliones, molido por nuestros pecados. El castigo de nuestra paz fue sobre él; y por su llaga hubo cura para nosotros.
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 nos perdimos, como ovejas; cada cual se apartó por su camino; mas el SEÑOR traspuso en él el pecado 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 Angustiado él, y afligido, no abrió su boca. Como oveja, fue llevado al matadero; y como cordero delante de sus trasquiladores enmudeció; y no abrió su 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 De la cárcel y del juicio fue quitado. Y su generación, ¿quién la contará? Porque cortado fue de la tierra de los vivientes. Por la rebelión de mi pueblo fue herido.
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 Y puso con los impíos su sepultura, y su muerte con los ricos; aunque nunca hizo él maldad, 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 Con todo eso, el SEÑOR lo quiso moler, sujetándole a padecimiento. Cuando hubiere puesto su alma por expiación, verá linaje, vivirá por largos días; y la voluntad del SEÑOR será en su mano prosperada.
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 Del trabajo de su alma verá y será saciado. Y con su conocimiento justificará mi Siervo justo a muchos; y él llevará las iniquidades de ellos.
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 tanto, yo le daré parte con los grandes, y a los fuertes repartirá despojos; por cuanto derramó su alma hasta la muerte, y fue contado con los rebeldes, habiendo él llevado el pecado de muchos, y orado 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].
