Isaiah 53
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
53 Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
and like a root out of dry ground;
he had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3 He was despised and rejected by others;
a man of suffering[a] and acquainted with infirmity;
and as one from whom others hide their faces[b]
he was despised, and we held him of no account.
4 Surely he has borne our infirmities
and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
and by his bruises we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away.
Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
stricken for the transgression of my people.
9 They made his grave with the wicked
and his tomb[c] with the rich,[d]
although he had done no violence,
and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.[e]
When you make his life an offering for sin,[f]
he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.
11 Out of his anguish he shall see light;[g]
he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.
The righteous one,[h] my servant, shall make many righteous,
and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he poured out himself to death,
and was numbered with the transgressors;
yet he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.

Chapter 53
1 Who has believed what we have heard?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 He grew up before him like a sapling,
like a shoot in arid ground.
He had no beauty or majesty
that would cause us to look at him;
nothing in his appearance would attract us to him.
3 He was despised and shunned by others,
a man of sorrows who was no stranger to suffering.
We loathed him and regarded him as of no account,
as one from whom men avert their gaze.
4 Although it was our afflictions that he bore,
our sufferings that he endured,
we thought of him as stricken,
as struck down by God and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our offenses
and crushed for our iniquity;
the punishment that made us whole fell upon him,
and by his bruises we have been healed.
6 We had all gone astray like sheep,
each of us following his own way,
but the Lord laid upon him
the guilt of us all.
7 Although harshly treated and afflicted,
he did not open his mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep that keeps silent before its shearers,
he did not open his mouth.
8 Unjustly condemned, he was taken away,
and who gave any thought to his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living
and stricken for the sins of his people.
9 They assigned him a grave with the wicked
and a burial place with evildoers,
even though he had done no act of violence
nor had he ever spoken deceitfully.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord
to crush him with pain.
For if he gives his life as a sacrifice for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his life,
and through him the will of the Lord will be accomplished.
11 As a result of his anguish
my servant will behold the light and be content.
Through his humiliation he will justify many,
and their guilt he will bear.
12 Therefore, I will allot him a portion among the great,
and he will divide the spoils with the mighty,
because he exposed himself to death
and was counted among the transgressors,
even though he bore the sins of many
and interceded for the transgressors.
Isaias 53
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
53 Sinong naniwala sa aming balita? at kanino nahayag ang bisig ng Panginoon?
2 Sapagka't siya'y tumubo sa harap niya na gaya ng sariwang pananim, at gaya ng ugat sa tuyong lupa: walang anyo o kagandahan man; at pagka ating minamasdan siya ay walang kagandahan na mananais tayo sa kaniya.
3 Siya'y hinamak at itinakuwil ng mga tao; isang taong sa kapanglawan, at bihasa sa karamdaman: at gaya ng isa na pinagkublihan ng kanilang mukha ng mga tao, na siya'y hinamak, at hindi natin hinalagahan siya.
4 Tunay na kaniyang dinala ang ating mga karamdaman, at dinala ang ating mga kapanglawan; gayon ma'y ating pinalagay siya na hinampas, sinaktan ng Dios, at dinalamhati.
5 Nguni't siya'y nasugatan dahil sa ating mga pagsalangsang, siya'y nabugbog dahil sa ating mga kasamaan, ang parusa ng tungkol sa ating kapayapaan ay nasa kaniya; at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga latay ay nagsigaling tayo.
6 Tayong lahat na gaya ng mga tupa ay naligaw; tayo ay tumungo bawa't isa sa kaniyang sariling daan; at ipinasan sa kaniya ng Panginoon ang kasamaan nating lahat.
7 Siya'y napighati, gayon man nang siya'y dinalamhati ay hindi nagbuka ng kaniyang bibig; gaya ng kordero na dinadala sa patayan, at gaya ng tupang nasa harap ng mga manggugupit sa kaniya ay pipi, gayon ma'y hindi niya binuka ang kaniyang bibig.
8 Sa pamamagitan ng kapighatian at kahatulan ay dinala siya: at tungkol sa kaniyang lahi, sino sa kanila ang gumunita na siya'y nahiwalay sa lupain ng buhay? dahil sa pagsalangsang ng aking bayan ay nasaktan siya.
9 At ginawa nila ang kaniyang libingan na kasama ng mga masama, at kasama ng isang lalaking mayaman sa kaniyang kamatayan; bagaman hindi siya gumawa ng pangdadahas, o wala mang anomang karayaan sa kaniyang bibig.
10 Gayon ma'y kinalugdan ng Panginoon na mabugbog siya; inilagay niya siya sa pagdaramdam: pagka iyong gagawin ang kaniyang kaluluwa na pinakahandog dahil sa kasalanan, makikita niya ang kaniyang lahi, pahahabain niya ang kaniyang mga kaarawan, at ang pagkalugod ng Panginoon ay lalago sa kaniyang kamay.
11 Siya'y makakakita ng pagdaramdam ng kaniyang kaluluwa at masisiyahan: sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kaalaman ay aariing ganap ng aking matuwid na lingkod ang marami; at dadalhin niya ang kanilang mga kasamaan.
12 Kaya't hahatian ko siya ng bahagi na kasama ng dakila, at kaniyang hahatiin ang samsam na kasama ng malakas; sapagka't kaniyang idinulot ang kaniyang kaluluwa sa kamatayan, at ibinilang na kasama ng mga mananalangsang: gayon ma'y dinala niya ang kasalanan ng marami, at namagitan sa mga mananalangsang.
