Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem aabenbaredes HERRENS Arm?
Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, On whom has 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,
Indeed, He comes up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of dry land, He has no form or splendor when we observe Him, Nor appearance, that we 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 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 did not esteem Him.
4 Og dog — vore Sygdomme bar han, tog vore Smerter paa sig; vi regnede ham for plaget, slagen, gjort elendig af Gud.
Surely He has borne our sicknesses, And our pains—He has carried them, And we have esteemed Him [as] plagued, struck 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.
And He is pierced for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, The discipline of our peace [is] on Him, And by His scourging 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 of us, like sheep, have wandered, Man has turned to his own way, And YHWH has laid on Him the punishment 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.
It has been exacted, and He has answered, And He does not open His mouth, He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He does 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?
By restraint and by judgment He has been taken, And of His generation who meditates, That He has been cut off from the land of the living? He is plagued by the transgression of My people,
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 appoints His grave with the wicked, And with the rich at His death, Because He has done no violence, Nor [is] 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 YHWH has delighted to crush Him, He has made Him sick; If His soul makes an offering for guilt, He sees [His] seed—He prolongs [His] days, And the pleasure of YHWH prospers 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.
Of the labor of His soul He sees—He is satisfied, Through His knowledge My Righteous Servant gives righteousness to many, And He bears 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 I give a portion to Him among the many, And He apportions spoil with the mighty, Because that He exposed His soul to death, And He was numbered with transgressors, And He has borne the sin of many, And He intercedes for transgressors.
