Isaiah 53

1 Who? has he believed report our and [the] arm of Yahweh to whom? has it been revealed.

Who has trusted our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?

2 And he grew up like shoot before him and like root from ground dry not form [belonged] to him and not splendor and we will look at him and not appearance and we will desire him.

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 [he was] despised And rejected of people a man of pains and a [man] acquainted of sickness and like a hiding of face from him [he was] despised and not we valued him.

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 Nevertheless sicknesses our he he bore and pains our he carried them and we we considered him stricken struck of God and afflicted.

Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

5 And he [was] pierced from transgressions our [was] crushed from iniquities our [the] chastening of peace our [was] on him and by wound[s] his it was healed to us.

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 All of us like sheep we have gone astray each to own way his we have turned and Yahweh he has caused to touch him [the] iniquity of all of us.

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 He was oppressed and he [was] afflicted and not he opened mouth his like sheep [which] to the slaughter it is brought and like a ewe [which] before shearers its it is dumb and not he opened mouth his.

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 From oppression and from judgment he was taken away and generation his who? will he consider for he was cut off from [the] land of living [people] from [the] transgression of people my a wound [belonged] to him.

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 And someone assigned with wicked [people] grave his and with a rich [person] in death his on not violence he had done and not deceit [was] in mouth his.

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 And Yahweh he desired to crush him he made [him] sick if it will make a guilt offering self his he will see offspring he will prolong days and [the] pleasure of Yahweh in hand his it will prosper.

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 From [the] labor of self his he will see he will be satisfied by knowledge his he will justify [the] righteous [one] servant my to many [people] and iniquities their he he will bear.

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 Therefore I will allot a portion to him among the many [people] and with mighty [people] he will apportion [the] plunder because that he poured out to death life his and with transgressors he was numbered and he [the] sin of many [people] he bore and for the transgressors he will make entreaty.

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 penalty, sin ·missing the goal· of many, and interceding for the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship.
