Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
Bangsa itu menjawab, "Siapa percaya akan apa yang telah kami dengar? Kepada siapa telah dinyatakan kuasa TUHAN?
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
TUHAN menghendaki hamba-Nya itu seperti tunas yang tumbuh di tanah yang gersang. Tak ada yang indah padanya untuk kita pandang; tak ada yang menarik untuk kita inginkan.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we did not respect him.
Kita menghina dan menjauhi dia, orang yang penuh sengsara dan biasa menanggung kesakitan. Tak seorang pun mau memandang dia, dan kita pun tidak mengindahkan dia.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
Sebenarnya penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya, sengsara kitalah yang dideritanya, padahal kita menyangka penderitaannya itu hukuman Allah baginya.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
Tetapi ia dilukai karena dosa-dosa kita, dan didera karena kejahatan kita. Ia dihukum supaya kita diselamatkan, karena bilur-bilurnya kita disembuhkan.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Kita semua tersesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari jalannya sendiri. TUHAN telah menimpakan kepadanya kejahatan kita semua.
7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Ia diperlakukan dengan kejam, tapi menanggungnya dengan sabar. Ia tidak membuka mulutnya seperti anak domba yang dibawa ke pembantaian atau induk domba yang dicukur bulunya.
8 He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
Ia ditahan dan diadili, lalu digiring dan dihukum mati. Tak ada yang peduli akan nasibnya; ia mati karena dosa bangsa kita.
9 They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Ia dikuburkan bersama orang jahat; makamnya di tengah-tengah orang kaya, walaupun ia tak pernah melakukan kejahatan, dan tak pernah menipu."
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
TUHAN menghendaki bahwa ia menderita, dan menyerahkan diri sebagai kurban penghapus dosa. Maka ia akan panjang umur dan melihat keturunannya melalui dia kehendak TUHAN akan terlaksana.
11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
Karena itu TUHAN berkata, "Sesudah menderita sengsara, ia akan bahagia dan puas. Hamba-Ku itu, yang menyenangkan hati-Ku, telah menanggung hukuman orang banyak; demi dia Aku akan mengampuni mereka.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
Dengan rela ia menyerahkan hidupnya dan masuk bilangan orang jahat. Ia memikul dosa orang banyak dan berdoa supaya mereka diampuni. Maka Kuberi dia orang banyak sebagai hadiah, dan ia mendapat bagian bersama orang-orang benar."
