Esaias 53
1 Hvem trodde det budskap vi hørte? Og for hvem blev Herrens arm åpenbaret?
Who will beleeue our report? and to whom is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
2 Han skjøt op som en kvist for hans åsyn og som et rotskudd av tørr jord; han hadde ingen skikkelse og ingen herlighet, og vi så ham, men han hadde ikke et utseende så vi kunde ha vår lyst i ham.
But hee shall growe vp before him as a branche, and as a roote out of a dry grounde: he hath neither forme nor beautie: when we shall see him, there shall be no forme that wee should desire him.
3 Foraktet var han og forlatt av mennesker, en mann full av piner og vel kjent med sykdom; han var som en som folk skjuler sitt åsyn for, foraktet, og vi aktet ham for intet.
He is despised and reiected of men: he is a man full of sorowes and hath experience of infirmities: we hidde as it were our faces from him: he was despised and we esteemed him not.
4 Sannelig, våre sykdommer har han tatt på sig, og våre piner har han båret; men vi aktet ham for plaget, slått av Gud og gjort elendig.
Surely hee hath borne our infirmities, and caried our sorowes: yet wee did iudge him, as plagued, and smitten of God, and humbled.
5 Men han er såret for våre overtredelser, knust for våre misgjerninger; straffen lå på ham, forat vi skulde ha fred, og ved hans sår har vi fått lægedom.
But hee was wounded for our transgressions, hee was broken for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes we are healed.
6 Vi fór alle vill som får, vi vendte oss hver til sin vei; men Herren lot våres alles misgjerninger ramme ham.
All we like sheepe haue gone astraye: wee haue turned euery one to his owne way, and the Lord hath layed vpon him the iniquitie of vs all.
7 Han blev mishandlet, enda han var elendig, og han oplot ikke sin munn, lik et lam som føres bort for å slaktes, og lik et får som tier når de klipper det; han oplot ikke sin munn.
Hee was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet did he not open his mouth: hee is brought as a sheepe to the slaughter, and as a sheepe before her shearer is dumme, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 Ved trengsel og ved dom blev han rykket bort; men hvem tenkte i hans tid at når han blev utryddet av de levendes land, så var det for mitt folks misgjernings skyld plagen traff ham?
Hee was taken out from prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his age? for he was cut out of the lande of the liuing: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.
9 De gav ham hans grav blandt ugudelige, men hos en rik var han i sin død, fordi han ingen urett hadde gjort, og det ikke var svik i hans munn.
And he made his graue with the wicked, and with the riche in his death, though hee had done no wickednesse, neither was any deceite in his mouth.
10 Men det behaget Herren å knuse ham, han slo ham med sykdom; når hans sjel bar frem skyldofferet, skulde han se avkom og leve lenge, og Herrens vilje skulde ha fremgang ved hans hånd.
Yet the Lord would breake him, and make him subiect to infirmities: when hee shall make his soule an offring for sinne, he shall see his seede and shall prolong his dayes, and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 Fordi hans sjel har hatt møie, skal han se det og mettes; derved at de kjenner ham, skal den rettferdige, min tjener, rettferdiggjøre de mange, og deres misgjerninger skal han bære.
Hee shall see of the trauaile of his soule, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant iustifie many: for hee shall beare their iniquities.
12 Derfor vil jeg gi ham de mange til del, og sterke skal han få til bytte, fordi han uttømte sin sjel til døden og blev regnet blandt overtredere, han som dog bar manges synd, og han bad for overtrederne.
Therefore will I giue him a portion with the great, and he shall deuide the spoyle with the strong, because hee hath powred out his soule vnto death: and he was counted with the transgressers, and he bare the sinne of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
