Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem åbenbaredes 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 Åsyn, som et Rodskud af udtørret Jord, uden Skønhed og Pragt til at drage vort Blik, uden Ydre, så vi syntes om ham,
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall 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 is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Og dog vore Sygdomme bar han, tog vore Smerter på sig; vi regnede ham for plaget, slagen, gjort elendig af Gud.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Men han blev såret for vore Overtrædelser, knust for vor Brødres Skyld; os til Fred kom Straf over ham, vi fik Lægedom ved hans Sår.
But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 Vi for alle vild som Får, vi vendte os hver sin Vej, men HERREN lod falde på ham den Skyld, der lå på os alle.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to 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 Får, der er stumt, når det klippes. han oplod ikke sin Mund.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so 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?
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
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 made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.
10 Det var HERRENs Vilje at slå ham med Sygdom; når hans Sjæl havde fuldbragt et Skyldoffer, skulde han se Afkom, leve længe og HERRENs Vilje lykkes ved hans Hånd.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] 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. Når han kendes, skal min retfærdige Tjener retfærdiggøre de mange, han, som bar deres Overtrædelser.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for 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 divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
