Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem aabenbaredes HERRENS Arm?
Who would have believed our report? and the arm of the Lord—over whom hath it been 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,
Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire 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.
He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and 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.
But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of 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.
Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.
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.
We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt 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 oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not 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?
Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation—who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, [that] for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on 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 let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the [godless] rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no 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.
But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when [now] his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see [his] seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper 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.
[Freed] from the trouble of his soul shall he see [the good] and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will 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 divide him [a portion] with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let [evil] befall him.
