Esaias 53
1 Hvem trodde det budskap vi hørte? Og for hvem blev Herrens arm åpenbaret?
Who believed what we have heard? And, the arm of Yahweh, to whom was it revealed?
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.
When he came up as a sapling before him. And as a root-sprout out of dry ground, He had neither beauty nor majesty, —When we beheld him, there was nothing to behold, that we 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.
Despised was he, and forsaken of men, Man of pains and familiar with sickness, —Yea, like one from whom the face is hidden, 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.
Yet surely, our sicknesses, he, carried, And, as for our pains, he bare the burden of them, —But, we, accounted him stricken. 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.
Yet, he, was pierced for transgressions that were ours, was crushed for iniquities that were ours, —the chastisement for our well-being, was upon him, And by his stripes, there is healing for us.
6 Vi fór alle vill som får, vi vendte oss hver til sin vei; men Herren lot våres alles misgjerninger ramme ham.
We all, like sheep, had gone astray, Every man—to his way, had we burned, —And Yahweh! caused to light upon him The guilt of, us 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.
Hard pressed—yet, he, humbled himself Nor opened his mouth—As, a lamb, to the slaughter, is led, And, as a sheep, before her shearers, is dumb—Nor opened 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?
By constraint and by sentence, was he taken away, And of his age, who considered That he was cut off out of the land of the living, For my people’s transgression, did the stroke fall on him?
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, appointed with lawless men, was his grave, And with the wicked, his tomb, —Though no violence, had he done, Nor was guile 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, Yahweh, purposed to bruise him, He laid on him sickness: —If his soul become an offering for guilt, He shall see a seed, He shall prolong his days, —And the purpose of Yahweh, in his hand, shall prosper:
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.
Of the travail of his soul, shall he see He shall be satisfied with his knowledge, A setting right when set right himself, shall my Servant win for the Many, Since of their iniquities, he, taketh the burden.
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 give him a portion in the great, And the strong, shall he apportion as spoil, Because he poured out, to death his own soul, And with transgressors, let himself be numbered, —Yea, he, the sin of Many, bare, And for transgressors, interposeth.
