Isaiah 53
1 Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, On whom has it been revealed?
Hvem trodde det budskap vi hørte? Og for hvem blev Herrens arm åpenbaret?
2 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.
Han skjøt op som en kvist for hans åsyn og som et rotskudd av tørr jord; han hadde ingen skikkelse og ingen herlighet, og vi så ham, men han hadde ikke et utseende så vi kunde ha vår lyst i ham.
3 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.
Foraktet var han og forlatt av mennesker, en mann full av piner og vel kjent med sykdom; han var som en som folk skjuler sitt åsyn for, foraktet, og vi aktet ham for intet.
4 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.
Sannelig, våre sykdommer har han tatt på sig, og våre piner har han båret; men vi aktet ham for plaget, slått av Gud og gjort elendig.
5 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.
Men han er såret for våre overtredelser, knust for våre misgjerninger; straffen lå på ham, forat vi skulde ha fred, og ved hans sår har vi fått lægedom.
6 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.
Vi fór alle vill som får, vi vendte oss hver til sin vei; men Herren lot våres alles misgjerninger ramme ham.
7 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.
Han blev mishandlet, enda han var elendig, og han oplot ikke sin munn, lik et lam som føres bort for å slaktes, og lik et får som tier når de klipper det; han oplot ikke sin munn.
8 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,
Ved trengsel og ved dom blev han rykket bort; men hvem tenkte i hans tid at når han blev utryddet av de levendes land, så var det for mitt folks misgjernings skyld plagen traff ham?
9 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.
De gav ham hans grav blandt ugudelige, men hos en rik var han i sin død, fordi han ingen urett hadde gjort, og det ikke var svik i hans munn.
10 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.
Men det behaget Herren å knuse ham, han slo ham med sykdom; når hans sjel bar frem skyldofferet, skulde han se avkom og leve lenge, og Herrens vilje skulde ha fremgang ved hans hånd.
11 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.
Fordi hans sjel har hatt møie, skal han se det og mettes; derved at de kjenner ham, skal den rettferdige, min tjener, rettferdiggjøre de mange, og deres misgjerninger skal han bære.
12 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.
Derfor vil jeg gi ham de mange til del, og sterke skal han få til bytte, fordi han uttømte sin sjel til døden og blev regnet blandt overtredere, han som dog bar manges synd, og han bad for overtrederne.
