Isaías 53
1 ¿Quién habría creído en la palabra que ha llegado a nuestros oídos, y a quién le ha revelado el Señor su poder?
(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 Subirá como renuevo delante de él, y como una raíz de un lugar seco; no tenía hermosura ni gracia para que lo admiremos, ni apariencia 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 Los hombres se burlaron de él, apartándose de él; era un hombre de dolores, acostumbrado al sufrimiento; marcado, como uno de quién los hombres esconden el rostro, lo miráramos con desprecio y no le 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 Pero llevo nuestro dolor y cargó nuestras enfermedades; mientras que nosotros lo tuvimos por azotado, herido de 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 por nuestros pecados que fue herido, y por nuestras malas acciones fue atormentado; tomó el castigo por el cual tenemos paz, y por sus heridas hemos sido sanados.
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 Fuimos todos errantes como ovejas; Yendo cada uno de nosotros según su deseo; y el Señor puso 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 Los hombres fueron crueles con él, pero él era amable y callado; como un cordero llevado a su muerte, y como una oveja ante los que la trasquilan no hace ruido, por lo que no dijo una palabra.
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 Se lo llevaron injustamente, por opresión y juicio fue llevado ¿y quién pensó en su destino? porque fue separado de la tierra de los vivos; murió por el pecado de mi pueblo, a quien correspondía la herida.
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 pusieron su cuerpo en la tierra con los pecadores, y su último lugar de descanso fue con los malhechores, aunque no había hecho nada malo, y no había 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 Y el Señor le plació oprimirlo con sufrimiento. Cuando Él se entregó como ofrenda de sacrificio por el pecado, y verá a su descendencia, tendrá larga vida, y la voluntad del Señor 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 Después ver tanta aflicción en su alma quedará satisfecho, por su conocimiento mi siervo justificará a muchos; pues había tomado sus pecados sobre sí mismo.
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 esta causa tendrá herencia con los grandes, y tendrá parte en los bienes de la guerra con los fuertes, porque entregó su vida y fue contado con los malhechores; asumiendo los pecados de muchos, intercediendo por los malhechores.
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].
