Isaiah 53

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LA SACRA BIBBIA
1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?	1 Chi prestò fede al nostro annuncio e a chi si è rivelato il braccio del Signore?
2 And he will rise up like a tender plant in his sight, and like a root from the thirsty ground. There is no beautiful or stately appearance in him. For we looked upon him, and there was no aspect, such that we would desire him.	2 Crebbe come un virgulto davanti a lui e come una radice che sbocciava da arida terra. Non aveva figura né splendore per attirare i nostri sguardi, né prestanza, sì da poterlo apprezzare.
3 He is despised and the least among men, a man of sorrows who knows infirmity. And his countenance was hidden and despised. Because of this, we did not esteem him.	3 Disprezzato, ripudiato dagli uomini, uomo dei dolori, conoscitore della sofferenza, simile a uno davanti al quale ci si copre la faccia, disprezzato, sì che non ne facemmo alcun caso.
4 Truly, he has taken away our weaknesses, and he himself has carried our sorrows. And we thought of him as if he were a leper, or as if he had been struck by God and humiliated.	4 Eppure, egli portò le nostre infermità, e si addossò i nostri dolori. Noi lo ritenemmo come un castigato, un percosso da Dio e umiliato.
5 But he himself was wounded because of our iniquities. He was bruised because of our wickedness. The discipline of our peace was upon him. And by his wounds, we are healed.	5 Ma egli fu trafitto a causa dei nostri peccati, fu schiacciato a causa delle nostre colpe. Il castigo che ci rende la pace fu su di lui e per le sue piaghe noi siamo stati guariti.
6 We have all gone astray like sheep; each one has turned aside to his own way. And the Lord has placed all our iniquity upon him.	6 Noi tutti come pecore erravamo, ognuno di noi seguiva il suo cammino e il Signore fece ricadere su di lui l'iniquità di tutti noi.
7 He was offered up, because it was his own will. And he did not open his mouth. He will be led like a sheep to the slaughter. And he will be mute like a lamb before his shearer. For he will not open his mouth.	7 Maltrattato, egli si è umiliato e non aprì bocca; come un agnello condotto al macello, come pecora muta davanti ai suoi tosatori non aprì bocca.
8 He was lifted up from anguish and judgment. Who will describe his life? For he has been cut off from the land of the living. Because of the wickedness of my people, I have struck him down.	8 Con violenza e condanna fu strappato via; chi riflette al suo destino? Sì, è stato tolto dalla terra dei vivi, per l'iniquità del mio popolo fu percosso a morte.
9 And he will be given a place with the impious for his burial, and with the rich for his death, though he has done no iniquity, nor was deceit in his mouth.	9 Gli diedero sepoltura con gli empi e il suo sepolcro è con i malfattori, benché non abbia commesso violenza e non vi fosse inganno nella sua bocca.
10 But it was the will of the Lord to crush him with infirmity. If he lays down his life because of sin, he will see offspring with long lives, and the will of the Lord will be directed by his hand.	10 Ma al Signore piacque stritolarlo con la sofferenza; se offre la sua vita in sacrificio di espiazione, vedrà una discendenza longeva e la volontà del Signore si compirà grazie a lui.
11 Because his soul has labored, he will see and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my just servant will himself justify many, and he himself will carry their iniquities.	11 Dopo l'angoscia della sua anima vedrà la luce, si sazierà della sua conoscenza. Il giusto mio servo giustificherà molti, addossandosi egli le loro iniquità.
12 Therefore, I will allot to him a great number. And he will divide the spoils of the strong. For he has handed over his life to death, and he was reputed among criminals. And he has taken away the sins of many, and he has prayed for the transgressors.	12 Perciò gli darò in eredità le moltitudini, e distribuirà il bottino insieme ai potenti, perché ha offerto se stesso alla morte e fu computato fra i malfattori. Egli invece portò il peccato di molti ed intercedette per i peccatori.
