Jesaja 53 | New International Reader’s Version

1 Who has believed what we’ve been saying? Who has seen the LORD’s saving power? 2 His servant grew up like a tender young plant. He grew like a root coming up out of dry ground. He didn’t have any beauty or majesty that made us notice him. There wasn’t anything special about the way he looked that drew us to him. 3 People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him. He knew all about pain and suffering. He was like someone people turn their faces away from. We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him. 4 He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the pain that should have been ours. But we thought God was punishing him. We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer. 5 But the servant was pierced because we had sinned. He was crushed because we had done what was evil. He was punished to make us whole again. His wounds have healed us. 6 All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God. All of us have turned to our own way. And the LORD has placed on his servant the sins of all of us. 7 He was treated badly and made to suffer. But he didn’t open his mouth. He was led away like a lamb to be killed. Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off. In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth. 8 He was arrested and sentenced to death. Then he was taken away. He was cut off from this life. He was punished for the sins of my people. Who among those who were living at that time tried to stop what was happening? 9 He was given a grave with those who were evil. But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man. He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone. And he had never lied to anyone. 10 The LORD says, ‘It was my plan to crush him and cause him to suffer. I made his life an offering to pay for sin. But he will see all his children after him. In fact, he will continue to live. My plan will be brought about through him. 11 After he has suffered, he will see the light of life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins. 12 So I will give him a place of honour among those who are great. He will be rewarded just like others who win the battle. That’s because he was willing to give his life as a sacrifice. He was counted among those who had committed crimes. He took the sins of many people on himself. And he gave his life for those who had done what is wrong.’

1 Кой е повярвал в известието ни? И на кого се е открила мишцата ГОСПОДНЯ? 2 Защото израсна пред Него като клонка и като корен от суха земя; нямаше благообразие, нито приличие, за да Го гледаме, нито красота, за да Го желаем. 3 Той беше презрян и отхвърлен от хората, човек на скърби и навикнал на печал; и както човек, от когото хората отвръщат лице, презрян беше и за нищо не Го счетохме. 4 Той наистина понесе печалта ни и със скърбите ни се натовари; а ние Го счетохме за ударен, поразен от Бога и наскърбен. 5 Но Той беше наранен поради нашите престъпления, беше бит поради нашите беззакония; върху Негодойде наказанието, донасящо нашия мир, и с Неговите рани ние се изцелихме. 6 Всички ние се заблудихме като овце, отбихме се всеки в своя път; и ГОСПОД възложи на Него беззаконието на всички ни. 7 Той беше угнетяван, но смири Себе Си и не отвори устата Си; както агне, водено на клане, и както овца, която не издава глас пред стригачите си, така Той не отвори устата Си. 8 Чрез угнетителен съд беше грабнат; а кой от Неговия род разсъждаваше, че беше изтръгнат отсред земята на живите поради престъплението на Моя народ, върху който трябваше да падне ударът? 9 И определиха гроба Му между злодеите, но след смъртта Му – при богатия; защото не беше извършил неправда, нито имаше измама в устата Му. 10 Но ГОСПОД благоволи Той да бъде бит, предаде Го на печал; когато направиш душата Му принос за грях, ще види потомството, ще продължи дните Си и това, в което ГОСПОД благоволи, ще успее в ръката Му. 11 Ще види плодовете от труда на душата Си и ще се насити; праведният Ми Слуга ще оправдае мнозина чрез знанието им за Него и Той ще се натовари с беззаконията им. 12 Затова ще Му определя дял между великите и Той ще раздели плячка със силните, защото изложи душата Си на смърт и към престъпници беше причислен, и защото взе на Себе Си греховете на мнозина и ходатайства за престъпниците.
