Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem aabenbaredes HERRENS Arm?
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 Han skød op som en Kvist for hans Aasyn, som et Rodskud af udtørret Jord, uden Skønhed og Pragt til at drage vort Blik, uden Ydre, saa vi syntes om ham,
And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him:
3 ringeagtet, skyet af Folk, en Smerternes Mand og kendt med Sygdom, en, man skjuler sit Ansigt for, agtet ringe, vi regned ham ikke.
Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not.
4 Og dog — vore Sygdomme bar han, tog vore Smerter paa sig; vi regnede ham for plaget, slagen, gjort elendig af Gud.
Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted.
5 Men han blev saaret for vore Overtrædelser, knust for vor Brødes Skyld; os til Fred kom Straf over ham, vi fik Lægedom ved hans Saar.
But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.
6 Vi for alle vild som Faar, vi vendte os hver sin Vej, men HERREN lod falde paa ham den Skyld, der laa paa os alle.
All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Han blev knust og bar det stille, han oplod ikke sin Mund som et Lam, der føres hen at slagtes, som et Faar, der er stumt, naar det klippes — han oplod ikke sin Mund.
He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth.
8 Fra Trængsel og Dom blev han taget, men hvem i hans Samtid tænkte, da han reves fra de levendes Land, at han ramtes for mit Folks Overtrædelse?
He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.
9 Hos gudløse gav man ham Grav og Gravkammer hos den rige, endskønt han ej gjorde Uret, og der ikke var Svig i hans Mund.
And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.
10 Det var HERRENS Vilje at slaa ham med Sygdom; naar hans Sjæl havde fuldbragt et Skyldoffer, skulde han se Afkom, leve længe og HERRENS Vilje lykkes ved hans Haand.
And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.
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, han, som bar deres Overtrædelser.
Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Derfor arver han mange, med mægtige deler han Bytte, fordi han udtømte sin Sjæl til Døden og regnedes blandt Overtrædere; dog bar han manges Synd, og for Overtrædere bad han.
Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.
