53:1 O Lord, who has believed our report?
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
53:2 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.
53:3 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.
53:4 He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in
trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction.
53:5 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.
53:6 All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way;
and the Lord gave him up for our sins.
53:7 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.
53:8 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.
53:9 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.
53:10 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:
53:11 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.
53:12 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. |
53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to
whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of
a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire him.
53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and
we esteemed him not.
53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes
we are healed.
53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own
way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he
is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the
transgression of my people was he stricken.
53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when
thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he
shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his
hand.
53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear
their iniquities.
53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto
death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of
many, and made intercession for the transgressors. |
