Isaiah 53
1 (Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
Men ho tror vår predikan, och hvem varder Herrans arm uppenbarad?
2 While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
Ty han rinner upp för honom såsom en vidja, och såsom en rot utu torro jord; han hafver ingen skapnad eller dägelighet. Vi såge honom; men der var ingen den skapnad, som oss kunde behaga.
3 People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
Han var den aldraföraktadaste och vanvördaste, full med värk och krankhet; han var så föraktad, att man gömde bort ansigtet för honom; derföre aktade vi honom intet.
4 But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
Sannerliga han bar våra krankhet, och lade uppå sig vår sveda; men vi hölle honom för den som plågad och af Gudi slagen och pinter var.
5 But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
Men han är sargad för våra missgerningars skull, och slagen för våra synders skull; näpsten ligger uppå honom, på det att vi skulle frid hafva, och genom hans sår äre vi helade.
6 All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
Vi ginge alle uti villfarelse, såsom får; hvar och en såg uppå sin väg; men Herren kastade allas våra synder uppå honom.
7 He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
Då han näpst och plågad vardt, lät han icke upp sin mun; såsom ett lamb, det till slagtning ledes, och såsom ett får, det stilla tiger för sinom klippare, och låter icke upp sin mun.
8 After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
Men han är tagen utur ångest och dom. Ho kan uttala hans lifslängd? Ty han är bortryckt utaf de lefvandes land, då han för mins folks missgerningar plågad var.
9 Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
Och han är begrafven såsom de ogudaktige, och döder såsom en rik; ändock han ingom orätt gjort hade, ej heller något svek uti hans mun var.
10 But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
Men Herren ville alltså slå honom med krankhet. När han sitt lif till skuldoffer gifvit hafver, så skall han få säd, och länge lefva, och Herrans uppsåt skall uti hans hand framgång hafva.
11 When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
Derföre, att hans själ arbetat hafver, skall han få se sina lust, och nog hafva, och genom sin kunskap skall han, min tjenare, den rättfärdige, många rättfärdiga göra; ty han bär deras synder.
12 So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
Derföre vill jag gifva honom ganska mycket till byte, och han skall hafva de starka till rof; derföre att han gifvit sitt lif i döden, och vardt ogerningsmannom lik räknad, och mångas synder bar, och bad för öfverträdarena.
