Izaija 53
1 “Tko da povjeruje u ono što nam je objavljeno, kome se otkri ruka Jahvina?”
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 Izrastao je pred njim poput izdanka, poput korijena iz zemlje sasušene. Ne bijaše na njem ljepote ni sjaja da bismo se u nj zagledali, ni ljupkosti da bi nam se svidio.
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 Prezren bješe, odbačen od ljudi, čovjek boli, vičan patnjama, od kog svatko lice otklanja, prezren bješe, odvrgnut.
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 A on je naše bolesti ponio, naše je boli na se uzeo, dok smo mi držali da ga Bog bije i ponižava.
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 Za naše grijehe probodoše njega, za opačine naše njega satriješe. Na njega pade kazna - radi našeg mira, njegove nas rane iscijeliše.
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 Poput ovaca svi smo lutali i svaki svojim putem je hodio. A Jahve je svalio na nj bezakonje nas sviju.
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 Zlostavljahu ga, a on puštaše, i nije otvorio usta svojih. K'o jagnje na klanje odvedoše ga; k'o ovca, nijema pred onima što je strižu, nije otvorio usta svojih.
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 Silom ga se i sudom riješiše; tko se brine za njegovu sudbinu? Da, iz zemlje živih ukloniše njega, za grijehe naroda njegova nasmrt ga izbiše.
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 Ukop mu odrediše među zločincima, a grob njegov bi s bogatima, premda nije počinio nepravde nit' su mu usta laži izustila.
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 Al' se Jahvi svidje da ga pritisne bolima. Žrtvuje li život svoj za naknadnicu, vidjet će potomstvo, produžit' sebi dane i Jahvina će se volja po njemu ispuniti.
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 Zbog patnje duše svoje vidjet će svjetlost i nasititi se spoznajom njezinom. Sluga moj pravedni opravdat će mnoge i krivicu njihovu na sebe uzeti.
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 Zato ću mu mnoštvo dati u baštinu i s mogućnicima plijen će dijeliti, jer sam se ponudio na smrt i među zlikovce bio ubrojen, da grijehe mnogih ponese na sebi i da se zauzme za zločince.
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
