53 ¿Quién se fió de lo que decíamos?
¿A quién se reveló el poder del Señor?
Fue creciendo ante el Señor como un brote,
como raíz en tierra de secano,
sin aspecto atrayente, sin lozanía.
Despreciado y rechazado por la gente,
sometido a dolores, habituado al sufrimiento,
ante el cual todos se tapan la cara;
lo despreciamos y no hicimos caso de él.
De hecho cargó con nuestros males,
soportó nuestros dolores,
y pensábamos que era castigado,
herido por Dios y humillado.
Pero fue herido por nuestras faltas,
triturado por nuestros pecados;
aguantó el castigo que nos salva,
con sus heridas fuimos curados.
Todos íbamos errantes como ovejas,
cada cual por su propio camino,
y el Señor cargó sobre él
las culpas de todos nosotros.
Era maltratado, humillado,
pero él no abría su boca:
era como cordero arrastrado al sacrificio,
como oveja que va a ser esquilada.
Detenido sin defensa ni juicio,
¿quién se ocupó de su suerte?
Fue arrancado de la tierra de los vivos,
herido por la rebeldía de mi pueblo.
Dispusieron su tumba entre malvados,
lo enterraron entre ricos.
Aunque nunca cometió violencia
ni su boca profirió mentiras,
10 el Señor quiso machacarlo con males.
Por entregar su vida como ofrenda expiatoria,
verá su descendencia, vivirá muchos años,
por su mano triunfará el designio del Señor.
11 Después del sufrimiento verá la luz,
el justo se saciará de su conocimiento.
Mi siervo hará justos a muchos,
pues cargó con los pecados de ellos.
12 Le daré a todos en posesión,
tendrá como botín una multitud,
pues expuso su vida a la muerte
y fue contado entre los rebeldes,
cargó con las culpas de muchos
e intercedió por los rebeldes.

53 Who has believed our message(A)
    and to whom has the arm(B) of the Lord been revealed?(C)
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,(D)
    and like a root(E) out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
    nothing in his appearance(F) that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering,(G) and familiar with pain.(H)
Like one from whom people hide(I) their faces
    he was despised,(J) and we held him in low esteem.

Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,(K)
yet we considered him punished by God,(L)
    stricken by him, and afflicted.(M)
But he was pierced(N) for our transgressions,(O)
    he was crushed(P) for our iniquities;
the punishment(Q) that brought us peace(R) was on him,
    and by his wounds(S) we are healed.(T)
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(U)
    each of us has turned to our own way;(V)
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity(W) of us all.

He was oppressed(X) and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;(Y)
he was led like a lamb(Z) to the slaughter,(AA)
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression[a] and judgment(AB) he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(AC)
    for the transgression(AD) of my people he was punished.[b]
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(AE)
    and with the rich(AF) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(AG)
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.(AH)

10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(AI) to crush(AJ) him and cause him to suffer,(AK)
    and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(AL)
he will see his offspring(AM) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper(AN) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(AO)
    he will see the light(AP) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(AQ) will justify(AR) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.(AS)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g](AT)
    and he will divide the spoils(AU) with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,(AV)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.(AW)
For he bore(AX) the sin of many,(AY)
    and made intercession(AZ) for the transgressors.
