1Who has believed what we’ve been saying?
Who has seen the Lord’s saving power?
2His servant grew up like a tender young plant.
He grew like a root coming up out of dry ground.
He didn’t have any beauty or majesty that made us notice him.
There wasn’t anything special about the way he looked that drew us to him.
3People looked down on him. They didn’t accept him.
He knew all about pain and suffering.
He was like someone people turn their faces away from.
We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.
4He suffered the things we should have suffered.
He took on himself the pain that should have been ours.
But we thought God was punishing him.
We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer.
5But the servant was pierced because we had sinned.
He was crushed because we had done what was evil.
He was punished to make us whole again.
His wounds have healed us.
6All of us are like sheep. We have wandered away from God.
All of us have turned to our own way.
And the Lord has placed on his servant
the sins of all of us.
7He was treated badly and made to suffer.
But he didn’t open his mouth.
He was led away like a lamb to be killed.
Sheep are silent while their wool is being cut off.
In the same way, he didn’t open his mouth.
8He was arrested and sentenced to death.
Then he was taken away.
He was cut off from this life.
He was punished for the sins of my people.
Who among those who were living at that time
tried to stop what was happening?
9He was given a grave with those who were evil.
But his body was buried in the tomb of a rich man.
He was killed even though he hadn’t harmed anyone.
And he had never lied to anyone.
10The Lord says, “It was my plan to crush him
and cause him to suffer.
I made his life an offering to pay for sin.
But he will see all his children after him.
In fact, he will continue to live.
My plan will be brought about through him.
11After he has suffered, he will see the light of life.
And he will be satisfied.
My godly servant will make many people godly
because of what he will accomplish.
He will be punished for their sins.
12So I will give him a place of honor among those who are great.
He will be rewarded just like others who win the battle.
That’s because he was willing to give his life as a sacrifice.
He was counted among those who had committed crimes.
He took the sins of many people on himself.
And he gave his life for those who had done what is wrong.”
1Kinsa ang makatuo sa among mensahe? Kang kinsa gipadayag sa Ginoo ang iyang gahom? 2Kabubut-on sa Ginoo nga mouswag ang iyang alagad. Sama kini sa tanom nga nagtubo, nga nagpanggamot diha sa malang yuta. Wala siyay kaambong o pamarog nga mahimong makadani kanato ngadto kaniya. 3Gibiaybiay siya ug gisalikway sa mga tawo. Daghan ang iyang nasinati nga mga kasakit ug pag-antos. Ato siyang gitalikdan, gitamay, ug gipakawalay-bili. 4Sa pagkatinuod, giantos niya ang mga kasakit ug mga pag-antos nga alang unta kanato. Apan abi natog gisilotan siya sa Dios tungod sa iyang mga sala. 5Ang tinuod, gisamaran siya tungod sa atong mga kalapasan. Nabun-og siya tungod sa atong pagkadaotan. Ang silot nga iyang giantos mao ang nakahatag kanatog maayong kahimtang. Ug pinaagi sa iyang mga samad kita nangaayo. 6Kitang tanan sama sa mga karnero nga nasaag; matag usa kanato nagpatuyang lang sa pagbuhat sa atong gusto. Apan siya ang gipaantos sa Ginoo sa silot nga alang unta kanatong tanan. 7Gidaog-daog siya ug gisakit, apan wala gayod siya moreklamo. Sama siya sa karnero nga gidala sa ihawanan. Ug sama sa karnero nga walay timik samtang gialotan, nagpakahilom lang siya. 8Gidakop siya, gihukman, ug gipatay. Wala gayoy nakaamgo sa iyang mga katagilungsod nga siya gipatay tungod sa ilang mga sala, ug giantos niya ang silot nga alang unta kanila. 9Bisag wala siyay sala nga nahimo ug wala siya nanglimbong, gilubong siya nga daw usa ka kriminal; gilubong siya uban sa mga adunahan. 10Pagbuot sa Ginoo nga sakiton ug paantuson siya. Bisan tuod ug gihimo sa Ginoo ang iyang kinabuhi nga halad aron mabayran ang sala sa mga tawo, makita gihapon niya ang iyang mga kaliwat ug makaangkon siya ug taas nga kinabuhi. Ug pinaagi kaniya, matuman ang kabubut-on sa Ginoo. 11Kon makita niya ang mga bunga sa iyang mga pag-antos, malipay siya. Miingon ang Ginoo, “Pinaagi sa iyang kaalam daghan ang pakamatarungon sa akong matarong nga alagad; mag-antos siya alang sa ilang mga sala. 12Busa ihatag ko kaniya ang pasidungog nga alang sa tawong bantogan ug gamhanan, kay gihatag niya ang iyang kinabuhi. Giisip siya nga usa sa mga makasasala. Nagaantos siya alang sa daghang mga makasasala ug nagaampo siya nga pasayloon sila.”
