Isaiah 53

1 who? be faithful to/for tidings our and arm LORD upon who? to reveal: reveal

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

2 and to ascend: rise like/as sapling to/for face: before his and like/as root from land: soil dryness not appearance to/for him and not glory and to see: see him and not appearance and to 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 to despise and rejected/fleeting man man pain and to know sickness and like/as hiding face from him to despise and not to devise: count 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 surely sickness our he/she/it to lift: bear and pain our to bear them and we to devise: think him to touch to smite God and to afflict

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

5 and he/she/it to bore from transgression our to crush from iniquity: crime our discipline peace our upon him and in/on/with wound his to heal to/for 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 our like/as flock to go astray man: anyone to/for way: conduct his to turn and LORD to fall on in/on/with him [obj] iniquity: crime all our

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 to oppress and he/she/it to afflict and not to open lip his like/as sheep to/for slaughter to conduct and like/as ewe to/for face: before to shear her be dumb and not to open lip 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 coercion and from justice: judgement to take: take and [obj] generation his who? to muse for to cut from land: country/planet alive from transgression people my plague to/for them

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 to give: put with wicked grave his and with rich in/on/with death his upon not violence to make: do and not deceit in/on/with lip 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 LORD to delight in to crush him be weak: grieved if to set: make guilt (offering) soul his to see: see seed: children to prolong day and pleasure LORD in/on/with hand his to 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 trouble soul his to see: see to satisfy in/on/with knowledge his to justify righteous servant/slave my to/for many and iniquity: crime their he/she/it to 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 to/for so to divide to/for him in/on/with many and with mighty to divide spoil underneath: because of which to uncover to/for death soul his and with to transgress to count and he/she/it sin many to lift: guilt and to/for to transgress to fall on

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.
