Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem aabenbaredes HERRENS Arm?
Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On 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 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 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 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 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 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 chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing 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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, han, som bar deres Overtrædelser.
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 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 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.
