Isaiah 53
Common English Bible
53 Who can believe what we have heard,
and for whose sake has the Lord’s arm[a] been revealed?
2 He grew up like a young plant before us,[b]
like a root from dry ground.
He possessed no splendid form for us to see,
no desirable appearance.
3 He was despised and avoided by others;
a man who suffered, who knew sickness well.
Like someone from whom people hid their faces,
he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.
4 It was certainly our sickness that he carried,
and our sufferings that he bore,
but we thought him afflicted,
struck down by God and tormented.
5 He was pierced because of our rebellions
and crushed because of our crimes.
He bore the punishment that made us whole;
by his wounds we are healed.
6 Like sheep we had all wandered away,
each going its own way,
but the Lord let fall on him all our crimes.
7 He was oppressed and tormented,
but didn’t open his mouth.
Like a lamb being brought to slaughter,
like a ewe silent before her shearers,
he didn’t open his mouth.
8 Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away,
and his fate—who will think about it?
He was eliminated from the land of the living,
struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.
9 His grave was among the wicked,
his tomb with evildoers,[c]
though he had done no violence,
and had spoken nothing false.
10 But the Lord wanted to crush him
and to make him suffer.
If his life is offered[d] as restitution,
he will see his offspring; he will enjoy long life.
The Lord’s plans will come to fruition through him.
11 After his deep anguish he will see light,[e] and he will be satisfied.
Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant,
will make many righteous,
and will bear their guilt.
12 Therefore, I will give him a share with the great,
and he will divide the spoil with the strong,
in return for exposing his life to death
and being numbered with rebels,
though he carried the sin of many
and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled.

Isaías 53
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
53 ¿Quién se fió de lo que decíamos?
¿A quién se reveló el poder del Señor?
2 Fue creciendo ante el Señor como un brote,
como raíz en tierra de secano,
sin aspecto atrayente, sin lozanía.
3 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.
4 De hecho cargó con nuestros males,
soportó nuestros dolores,
y pensábamos que era castigado,
herido por Dios y humillado.
5 Pero fue herido por nuestras faltas,
triturado por nuestros pecados;
aguantó el castigo que nos salva,
con sus heridas fuimos curados.
6 Todos íbamos errantes como ovejas,
cada cual por su propio camino,
y el Señor cargó sobre él
las culpas de todos nosotros.
7 Era maltratado, humillado,
pero él no abría su boca:
era como cordero arrastrado al sacrificio,
como oveja que va a ser esquilada.
8 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.
9 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)
2 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.
3 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.
4 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)
5 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)
6 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.
7 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.
8 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]
9 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.
