Esajas 53
1 Hvo troede det, vi hørte, for hvem åbenbaredes HERRENs Arm?
Who will beleeue our report? and to whom is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
2 Han skød op som en Kvist for hans Åsyn, som et Rodskud af udtørret Jord, uden Skønhed og Pragt til at drage vort Blik, uden Ydre, så vi syntes om 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 ringeagtet, skyet af Folk, en Smerternes Mand og kendt med Sygdom, en, man skjuler sit Ansigt for, agtet ringe, vi regned ham ikke.
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 Og dog vore Sygdomme bar han, tog vore Smerter på sig; vi regnede ham for plaget, slagen, gjort elendig af Gud.
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 blev såret for vore Overtrædelser, knust for vor Brødres Skyld; os til Fred kom Straf over ham, vi fik Lægedom ved hans Sår.
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 for alle vild som Får, vi vendte os hver sin Vej, men HERREN lod falde på ham den Skyld, der lå på os alle.
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 knust og bar det stille, han oplod ikke sin Mund som et Lam, der føres hen at slagtes, som et Får, der er stumt, når det klippes. han oplod ikke sin Mund.
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 Fra Trængsel og Dom blev han taget, men hvem i hans Samtid tænkte, da han reves fra de levendes Land, at han ramtes for mit Folks Overtrædelse?
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 Hos gudløse gav man ham Grav og Gravkammer hos den rige, endskønt han ej gjorde Uret, og der ikke var Svig i hans Mund.
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 Det var HERRENs Vilje at slå ham med Sygdom; når hans Sjæl havde fuldbragt et Skyldoffer, skulde han se Afkom, leve længe og HERRENs Vilje lykkes 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 Sjæl har haft Møje, skal han se det, hvorved han skal mættes. Når han kendes, skal min retfærdige Tjener retfærdiggøre de mange, han, som bar deres Overtrædelser.
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 arver han mange, med mægtige deler han Bytte, fordi han udtømte sin Sjæl til Døden og regnedes blandt Overtrædere; dog bar han manges Synd, og for Overtrædere bad han.
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.
