1 Who has believed our message?

To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

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.

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 didn’t respect him.

4 Surely he has borne our sickness

and carried our suffering;

yet we considered him plagued,

struck by God, and afflicted.

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.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray.

Everyone has turned to his own way;

and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed,

yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.

As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,

and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent,

so he didn’t open his mouth.

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?

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.

10 Yet it pleased Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

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.

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.

1 谁会相信我们所传的?耶和华的膀臂向谁显露呢?

2 他在耶和华面前如嫩芽生长起来, 像根出于干旱之地; 他没有佳形, 也没有威仪, 好叫我们仰慕他; 他也没有美貌, 使我们被他吸引。

3 他被藐视, 被人拒绝, 是个多受痛苦, 熟悉病患的人。他像个被人掩面不看的人一样; 他被藐视, 我们也不重视他。

4 原来他担当了我们的病患, 背负了我们的痛苦; 我们却以为他受责打, 被 神击打和苦待了。

5 然而他是为了我们的过犯被刺透, 为了我们的罪孽被压伤; 使我们得平安的惩罚加在他身上, 因他受了鞭伤, 我们才得医治。

6 我们众人都如羊走迷了路, 各人偏行己路; 耶和华却把我们众人的罪孽, 都归在他身上。

7 他被虐待, 受痛苦的时候, 他并不开口; 他像羊羔被牵去屠宰, 又像羊在剪羊毛的人面前寂然无声, 他也是这样不开口。

8 他受拘禁和审判以后被带走; 至于他那个世代的人中, 有谁想到从活人之地被剪除, 被击打, 是因我子民的过犯呢?

9 虽然他从来没有行过强暴, 他的口里也没有诡诈, 人还是使他与恶人同埋, 但死的时候与财主同葬。

10 耶和华却喜悦把他压伤, 使他受痛苦; 耶和华若以他的性命作赎罪祭, 他必看见后裔, 并且得享长寿; 耶和华所喜悦的, 必在他手中亨通。

11 他受了生命之苦以后, 必看见光明, 并且心满意足; 我的义仆必使许多人因认识他而得称为义, 他也必背负他们的罪孽。

12 所以, 我要使他与伟大的人同分, 他必与强盛的均分掳物, 因为他把自己的性命倾倒, 以致于死。他被列在罪犯之中, 却担当了多人的罪, 又为罪犯代求。
