Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi have hørt? og for hvem er Herrens Arm aabenbaret?
Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it 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.
Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire 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.
He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
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.
Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of 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.
And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to 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 like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment 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.
It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not 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 restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,
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.
And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor [is] 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.
And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed — he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
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.
Of the labour of his soul he seeth — he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
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 I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
