ישעה 53
| מי האמין לשמעתנו וזרוע יהוה על מי נגלתה | 1 |
Who would have believed our report? and the arm of the Lord—over whom hath it been revealed?
| ויעל כיונק לפניו וכשרש מארץ ציה--לא תאר לו ולא הדר ונראהו ולא מראה ונחמדהו | 2 |
Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.
| נבזה וחדל אישים איש מכאבות וידוע חלי וכמסתר פנים ממנו נבזה ולא חשבנהו | 3 |
He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.
| אכן חלינו הוא נשא ומכאבינו סבלם ואנחנו חשבנהו נגוע מכה אלהים ומענה | 4 |
But only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
| והוא מחלל מפשענו מדכא מעונתינו מוסר שלומנו עליו ובחברתו נרפא לנו | 5 |
Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.
| כלנו כצאן תעינו איש לדרכו פנינו ויהוה הפגיע בו את עון כלנו | 6 |
We all like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt of us all.
| נגש והוא נענה ולא יפתח פיו כשה לטבח יובל וכרחל לפני גזזיה נאלמה ולא יפתח פיו | 7 |
He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.
| מעצר וממשפט לקח ואת דורו מי ישוחח כי נגזר מארץ חיים מפשע עמי נגע למו | 8 |
Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation—who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, [that] for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?
| ויתן את רשעים קברו ואת עשיר במתיו על לא חמס עשה ולא מרמה בפיו | 9 |
And he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the [godless] rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
| ויהוה חפץ דכאו החלי--אם תשים אשם נפשו יראה זרע יאריך ימים וחפץ יהוה בידו יצלח | 10 |
But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when [now] his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see [his] seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
| מעמל נפשו יראה ישבע--בדעתו יצדיק צדיק עבדי לרבים ועונתם הוא יסבל | 11 |
[Freed] from the trouble of his soul shall he see [the good] and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.
| לכן אחלק לו ברבים ואת עצומים יחלק שלל תחת אשר הערה למות נפשו ואת פשעים נמנה והוא חטא רבים נשא ולפשעים יפגיע | 12 |
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let [evil] befall him.
