Isaia 53

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 “ Quis credidit auditui nostro, et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?	1 Who would believe what we have heard? To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 Et ascendit sicut virgultum coram eo et sicut radix de terra sitienti. Non erat species ei neque decor, ut aspiceremus eum, et non erat aspectus, ut desideraremus eum.	2 He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched earth; There was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor appearance that would attract us to him.
3 Despectus erat et novissimus virorum, vir dolorum et sciens infirmitatem, et quasi abscondebamus vultum coram eo; despectus, unde nec reputabamus eum.	3 He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, One of those from whom men hide their faces, spurned, and we held him in no esteem.
4 Vere languores nostros ipse tulit et dolores nostros ipse portavit; et nos putavimus eum quasi plagatum, percussum a Deo et humiliatum.	4 Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he endured, While we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted.
5 Ipse autem vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras, attritus est propter scelera nostra; disciplina pacis nostrae super eum, et livore eius sanati sumus.	5 But he was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, Upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed.
6 Omnes nos quasi oves erravimus, unusquisque in viam suam declinavit; et posuit Dominus in eo iniquitatem omnium nostrum ”.	6 We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; But the LORD laid upon him the guilt of us all.
7 Afflictus est et ipse subiecit se et non aperuit os suum; sicut agnus, qui ad occisionem ducitur, et quasi ovis, quae coram tondentibus se obmutuit et non aperuit os suum.	7 Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; Like a lamb led to the slaughter or a sheep before the shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth.
8 Angustia et iudicio sublatus est. De generatione eius quis curabit? Quia abscissus est de terra viventium; propter scelus populi mei percussus est ad mortem.	8 Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away, and who would have thought any more of his destiny? When he was cut off from the land of the living, and smitten for the sin of his people,
9 Et posuerunt sepulcrum eius cum impiis, cum divitibus tumulum eius, eo quod iniquitatem non fecerit, neque dolus fuerit in ore eius.	9 A grave was assigned him among the wicked and a burial place with evildoers, Though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood.
10 Et Dominus voluit conterere eum infirmitate. Si posuerit in piaculum animam suam, videbit semen longaevum, et voluntas Domini in manu eius prosperabitur.	10 (But the LORD was pleased to crush him in infirmity.) If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life, and the will of the LORD shall be accomplished through him.
11 Propter laborem animae eius videbit lucem, saturabitur in scientia sua. Iustificabit iustus servus meus multos et iniquitates eorum ipse portabit.	11 Because of his affliction he shall see the light in fullness of days; Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall bear.
12 Ideo dispertiam ei multos, et cum fortibus dividet spolia, pro eo quod tradidit in mortem animam suam et cum sceleratis reputatus est; et ipse peccatum multorum tulit et pro transgressoribus rogat.	12 Therefore I will give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty, Because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wicked; And he shall take away the sins of many, and win pardon for their offenses.
