Esaias 53
1 Hvem trodde det budskap vi hørte? Og for hvem blev Herrens arm åpenbaret?
O Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been 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.
We brought a report as [of] a child before him; [he is] as a root in a thirsty land: he has no form nor comeliness; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty.
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.
But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; [he was] a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned from [us]: he was dishonoured, and not esteemed.
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.
He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction.
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 he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; [and] by his bruises we were 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 as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins.
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.
And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens 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?
In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death.
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 I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with 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.
The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. If ye can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed:
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.
the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to shew him light, and to form [him] with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and he shall bear their sins.
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 he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because his soul was delivered to death: and he was numbered among the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and was delivered because of their iniquities.
