< Izaija 53 >

1 “Tko da povjeruje u ono što nam je objavljeno, kome se otkri ruka Jahvina?”
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
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.
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him.
3 Prezren bješe, odbačen od ljudi, čovjek boli, vičan patnjama, od kog svatko lice otklanja, prezren bješe, odvrgnut.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 A on je naše bolesti ponio, naše je boli na se uzeo, dok smo mi držali da ga Bog bije i ponižava.
Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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 transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
6 Poput ovaca svi smo lutali i svaki svojim putem je hodio. A Jahve je svalio na nj bezakonje nas sviju.
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
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 oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
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.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
9 Ukop mu odrediše među zločincima, a grob njegov bi s bogatima, premda nije počinio nepravde nit' su mu usta laži izustila.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.'
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.
Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:
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.
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
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.
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
