Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi have hørt? og for hvem er Herrens Arm aabenbaret?
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 Thi han skød frem som en Kvist for hans Ansigt og som et Rodskud af tør Jord, han havde ingen Skikkelse eller Herlighed; og vi saa ham, men der var ikke Anseelse, at vi kunde have Lyst til ham.
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 Han var foragtet og ikke at regne iblandt Mænd, en Mand fuld af Pine og forsøgt i Sygdom; og som en, for hvem man skjuler Ansigtet, foragtet, og vi agtede ham for intet.
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 Visselig, han har taget vore Sygdomme paa sig og baaret vore Smerter; men vi agtede ham for plaget, slagen af Gud og gjort elendig.
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 Men han er saaret for vore Overtrædelser og knust for vore Misgerninger; Straffen er lagt paa ham, at vi skulle have Fred, og vi have faaet Lægedom ved hans Saar.
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 Vi fore alle vild som Faar, vi vendte os hver sin Vej; men Herren lod al vor Misgerning komme over ham.
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 Han blev trængt, og han blev gjort elendig, men han oplod ikke sin Mund, som et Lam, der føres hen at slagtes, og som et Faar, der er stumt over for dem, som klippe det; og han oplod ikke sin Mund.
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 Fra Trængsel og fra Dom er han borttagen, og hvo kan tale om hans Slægt? thi han er bortreven fra de levendes Land, han havde Plage for mit Folks Overtrædelses Skyld.
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 Og man gav ham hans Grav hos de ugudelige, og hos den rige i hans Død, uagtet han ikke havde gjort Uret, og der ikke var Svig i hans Mund.
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 Men Herren havde Behag i at knuse ham med Sygdom; naar hans Sjæl har fuldbragt et Skyldoffer, skal han se Sæd og forlænge sine Dage; og Herrens Villie skal lykkes ved hans Haand.
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 Fordi hans Sjæl har haft Møje, skal han se det, hvorved han skal mættes; naar han kendes, skal min retfærdige Tjener retfærdiggøre de mange; og han skal bære deres Misgerninger.
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 Derfor vil jeg give ham Del i de mange, og han skal dele de stærke som et Bytte, fordi han udtømte sin Sjæl til Døden og blev regnet iblandt Overtrædere; ja han har baaret manges Synd, og han skal bede for Overtrædere.
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
