< Ісая 53 >

1 Хто нашій спасе́нній тій звістці повірив, і над ким відкрива́лось раме́но Господнє?
(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 Бо Він виріс перед Ним, мов галу́зка, і мов корінь з сухої землі, — не мав Він прина́ди й не мав пишноти́; і ми Його бачили, та краси́ не було, щоб Його пожада́ти!
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 Він пого́рджений був, Його люди покинули, стра́дник, знайо́мий з хоро́бами, і від Якого обличчя ховали, пого́рджений, і ми не цінува́ли Його.
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 Направду ж Він не́мочі наші узяв і наші болі поніс, а ми уважали Його за пора́неного, ніби Бог Його вдарив поразами й мучив.
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 А Він був ране́ний за наші гріхи, за наші прови́ни Він му́чений був, — кара на Ньому була за наш мир, Його ж ра́нами нас уздоро́влено!
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 Усі ми блуди́ли, немов ті овечки, розпоро́шились кожен на власну дорогу, — і на Нього Господь покла́в гріх усіх нас!
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 Він гно́блений був та пони́жуваний, але уст Своїх не відкрива́в. Як ягня був прова́джений Він на зако́лення, й як овечка перед стрижія́ми своїми мовчи́ть, так і Він не відкрива́в Своїх уст.
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 Від у́тиску й су́ду Він за́браний був, і хто збагне́ Його рід? Бо з кра́ю живих Він віді́рваний був, за прови́ни Мого наро́ду на смерть Його да́но.
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 Із злочинцями ви́значили Йому гро́ба Його, та Його поховали в багатого, хоч провини Він не учини́в, і не було в Його у́стах ома́ни.
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 Та зво́лив Господь, щоб поби́ти Його, щоб му́ки завда́но Йому. Якщо ж душу Свою покладе́ Він як жертву за гріх, то побачить насі́ння, і житиме довгії дні, і за́мір Господній рукою Його буде мати пово́дження!
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 Він через му́ки Своєї душі буде бачити плід, та й наси́титься. Справедливий, Мій Слуга, оправдає пізна́нням Своїм багатьох, і їхні гріхи́ понесе́.
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 Тому то дам у́діл Йому між великими, і з поту́жними буде ділити здобич за те, що на смерть віддав душу Свою, і з злочинцями був порахо́ваний, хоч гріх багатьо́х Сам носи́в і заступа́всь за злочинців!
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].
