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.
Isaiah 53
King James Version
53 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
