Jesaja 53 | Noua Traducere Românească

1 Cine a crezut ceea ce noi am auzit? Și brațul DOMNULUI, cui i‑a fost descoperit? 2 El a crescut înaintea Lui ca un lăstar, ca o rădăcină ieșită dintr‑un pământ uscat. Nu avea nici frumusețe*, și nici măreție la care să ne uităm, și nu era nimic în înfățișarea Lui ca să‑L dorim. 3 Era disprețuit și părăsit de oameni, un Om al durerilor și obișnuit cu suferința. Era disprețuit, ca și un om de care îți ascunzi fața, iar noi nu L‑am luat în seamă. 4 Într-adevăr, El a luat suferințele noastre și a purtat durerile noastre. Noi însă L‑am considerat lovit, zdrobit de Dumnezeu și asuprit. 5 Dar El era străpuns pentru fărădelegile noastre, zdrobit pentru nelegiuirile noastre. Pedeapsa care ne dă pacea era peste El, și prin rănile Lui suntem vindecați. 6 Noi rătăceam cu toții ca niște oi, fiecare urmându‑și propria cale, dar DOMNUL a pus asupra Lui nelegiuirea noastră, a tuturor. 7 Când a fost chinuit și asuprit, El nu Și‑a deschis gura. Ca un miel care este dus la tăiere și ca o oaie mută înaintea celor ce o tund, tot așa nici El nu Și‑a deschis gura. 8 A fost luat prin forță și judecată. Dar cine din generația Sa s‑ar fi gândit că* El era șters de pe tărâmul celor vii și lovit pentru fărădelegea poporului Meu? 9 I‑au pus mormântul lângă al celor răi și L‑au așezat în* groapa* celui bogat, deși El n‑a săvârșit violență și nu s‑a găsit înșelătorie în gura Lui. 10 DOMNUL însă a vrut să‑L zdrobească prin suferință. Dar după ce Își va da viața ca jertfă pentru vină, Își va vedea sămânța* și va trăi multe zile, iar voia DOMNULUI va propăși prin El. 11 După truda sufletului Său, va vedea lumina* și va fi mulțumit. Prin cunoștința Sa, Robul Meu cel drept va îndreptăți pe mulți și le va purta nelegiuirile. 12 De aceea Îi voi da o parte la un loc cu cei mari* și va împărți prada cu cei puternici*, căci S‑a golit pe Sine, până la moarte, și a fost numărat alături de cei răzvrătiți. Totuși, El a purtat păcatul celor mulți și a mijlocit pentru cei răzvrătiți.

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.’
