Isaiah 53

1 Who has given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of YHWH, On whom has it been revealed?

Who bileuyde to oure heryng? and to whom is the arm of the Lord schewide?

2 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.

And he schal stie as a yerde bifore hym, and as a roote fro thirsti lond. And nether schap nether fairnesse was to hym; and we sien hym, and no biholdyng was;

3 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.

and we desiriden hym, dispisid, and the laste of men, a man of sorewis, and knowynge sikenesse. And his cheer was as hid and dispisid; wherfor and we arettiden not hym.

4 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.

Verili he suffride oure sikenessis, and he bar oure sorewis; and we arettiden hym as a mesel, and smytun of God, and maad low.

5 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.

Forsothe he was woundid for oure wickidnessis, he was defoulid for oure greet trespassis; the lernyng of oure pees was on hym, and we ben maad hool bi his wannesse.

6 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.

Alle we erriden as scheep, ech man bowide in to his owne weie, and the Lord puttide in hym the wickidnesse of vs alle.

7 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.

He was offrid, for he wolde, and he openyde not his mouth; as a scheep he schal be led to sleyng, and he schal be doumb as a lomb bifore hym that clippith it, and he schal not opene his mouth.

8 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,

He is takun awey fro angwisch and fro doom; who schal telle out the generacioun of hym? For he was kit doun fro the lond of lyueris. Y smoot hym for the greet trespas of my puple.

9 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.

And he schal yyue vnfeithful men for biriyng, and riche men for his deth; for he dide not wickidnesse, nether gile was in his mouth;

10 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.

and the Lord wolde defoule hym in sikenesse. If he puttith his lijf for synne, he schal se seed long durynge, and the wille of the Lord schal be dressid in his hond.

11 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.

For that that his soule trauelide, he schal se, and schal be fillid. Thilke my iust seruaunt schal iustifie many men in his kunnyng, and he schal bere the wickidnessis of hem.

12 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.

Therfor Y schal yelde, ethir dele, to hym ful many men, and he schal departe the spuilis of the stronge feendis; for that that he yaf his lijf in to deth, and was arettid with felenouse men; and he dide a wei the synne of many men, and he preiede for trespassouris.
