Isaiæ 53
1 Quis credidit auditui nostro? Et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, On whom has it been revealed?
2 Et ascendet sicut virgultum coram eo, et sicut radix de terra sitienti: non est species ei, neque decor: et vidimus eum, et non erat aspectus, et desideravimus eum:
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.
3 Despectum, et novissimum virorum, virum dolorum, et scientem infirmitatem: et quasi absconditus vultus eius et despectus, unde nec reputavimus eum.
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.
4 Vere languores nostros ipse tulit, et dolores nostros ipse portavit: et nos putavimus eum quasi leprosum, et percussum a Deo et humiliatum.
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.
5 Ipse autem vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras, attritus est propter scelera nostra: disciplina pacis nostræ super eum, et livore eius sanati sumus.
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.
6 Omnes nos quasi oves erravimus, unusquisque in viam suam declinavit: et posuit Dominus in eo iniquitatem omnium nostrum.
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.
7 Oblatus est quia ipse voluit, et non aperuit os suum: sicut ovis ad occisionem ducetur, et quasi agnus coram tondente se obmutescet, et non aperiet os suum.
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.
8 De angustia, et de iudicio sublatus est: generationem eius quis enarrabit? Quia abscissus est de terra viventium: propter scelus populi mei percussi eum.
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,
9 Et dabit impios pro sepultura, et divitem pro morte sua: eo quod iniquitatem non fecerit, neque dolus fuerit in ore eius.
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.
10 Et Dominus voluit conterere eum in infirmitate: si posuerit pro peccato animam suam, videbit semen longævum, et voluntas Domini in manu eius dirigetur.
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.
11 Pro eo quod laboravit anima eius, videbit et saturabitur: in scientia sua iustificabit ipse iustus servus meus multos, et iniquitates eorum ipse portabit.
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.
12 Ideo dispertiam ei plurimos: et fortium dividet spolia, pro eo quod tradidit in mortem animam suam, et cum sceleratis reputatus est: et ipse peccata multorum tulit, et pro transgressoribus rogavit.
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.
