< Esajas 53 >

1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem aabenbaredes HERRENS Arm?
Who has trusted our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai 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,
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty 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 rejected by men; a man of suffering, and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect 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 sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, 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 pierced for our rebellious breaches of relationships. He was crushed for our depravities (moral evils). The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his stripes and wounds we are healed and made whole.
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. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Adonai has laid on him את the depravity (moral evil) 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, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t 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?
After forcible arrest and sentencing, he was taken away; את and none of his generation protested his being cut off out of the land of the living for the rebellious breach of relationship of my people, who deserved the punishment themselves.
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.
They made his grave with את the wicked, את and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, nor was any 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.
Yet it pleased Adonai to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. To see if he would present himself as a fault incurring guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring, and he will prolong his days, and Adonai’s pleasure will 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.
After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction “By his knowing [pain and sacrifice]. My righteous servant will justify many; for it is their depravities (moral evils) that he suffers.
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 give him a portion with the great, את and with the strong he will divide the spoils; because he exposed himself to death, and was counted with את the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship; while actually bearing the crime deserving peanlty, sin ·missing the goal· of many, and interceding for the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship.
