Esaias 53
1 Kven trudde det bodet me høyrde? Og kven synte Herrens arm seg for?
Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
2 Han rann som ein renning for augo hans, som ein teinung or turre jordi. Uskapleg var han og lite sjåleg. Me såg han, men ei såg han hugnadleg ut.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 Vanvyrd var han, so folk heldt seg undan, ein mann i pinslor og velkjend med sjukdom, som ein som ingen vil sjå på, vanvyrd, og me honom rekna for inkje.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.
4 Men våre sjukdomar var det han bar, og våre pinslor som han tok på seg, medan me trudde Gud hadde råka og slege og plåga honom.
Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
5 Ja, han vart såra for våre brot og sundbroten for våre synder. Refsing til fred for oss låg på honom, og ved hans sår fann me lækjedom.
But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
6 Alle for me vilt som sauer, vende oss kvar sin veg; men Herren let råka honom det som me hadde skuld i alle.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Skamfaren vart han, men leid so viljug og let ikkje upp sin munn, som lambet dei fører til slagting, og sauen som tegjer når han vert klypt - han let ikkje upp sin munn.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.
8 Med vald og dom vart han teken burt, men kven i hans samtid tenkte då: «Burtriven vart han or livandelandet, for mitt folks brot fekk han ulivssår?»
He was taken away by oppression and judgement. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
9 Millom gudlause gav dei han grav, men hjå rikmann var han i dauden; for ingen urett hadde han gjort, og det fanst ikkje svik i hans munn.
They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Men Herren vilde med sott honom krasa. Når hans sjæl eit skuldoffer bar, skulde han avkjøme sjå og langt liv, og Herrens vilje ved honom lukkast.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
11 For si sjæle-møda skal han sjå det og mettast, ved sin kunnskap gjev han rettferd, min rettvise tenar, til mange, med di han ber deira skuld.
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Difor gjev eg honom mange til lut, og sterke fær han til herfang, for han tømde si sjæl til dauden og vart millom brotsmenner rekna, medan han bar syndi åt mange, og han for brotsmenner bad.
Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
