Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi have hørt? og for hvem er Herrens Arm aabenbaret?
Who has believed what they heard from us, and to whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
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.
For he grew up before Yahweh like a sapling, and like a sprout out of parched earth; he had no remarkable appearance or splendor; when we saw him, there was no beauty to attract us.
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.
He was despised and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and one familiar with pain. Like one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised; and we considered him insignificant.
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.
But surely he has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows; yet we thought he was being punished by God, struck by God, and afflicted.
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 pierced because of our rebellious deeds; he was crushed because of our sins. The punishment for our peace was on him, and with his wounds we are healed.
6 Vi fore alle vild som Faar, vi vendte os hver sin Vej; men Herren lod al vor Misgerning komme over ham.
We all like sheep have gone astray; we have each turned to his own way, and Yahweh has placed on him the iniquity of us all.
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 oppressed; yet when he humbled himself, he did not open his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
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.
By coercion and judgment he was condemned; who from that generation thought anymore about him? But he was cut off from the land of the living; because of the offenses of my people the penalty was put on him.
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 placed his grave with the criminals, with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor had there been any deceit in his mouth.
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.
Yet it was Yahweh's will to crush him and make him ill. When he makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and Yahweh's purpose will be accomplished 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 the suffering of his life, he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. My righteous servant will justify many; he will bear their iniquities.
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.
Therefore will I give him his portion among the multitudes, and he will divide the spoils with the many, because he exposed himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
