1 Hvem trodde vår forkynnelse, og hvem ble Herrens arm åpenbart for?

Who has believed our message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2 Han skjøt opp som en ung plante for hans åsyn, som et rotskudd av tørr grunn. Han hadde ingen vakker skikkelse vi gledet oss over, og ingen skjønnhet som behaget oss.

He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no form or majesty to attract us to him, and no appearance that we should desire him.

3 Foraktet var han og rettsopprørernes etterlatte. Han var en mann full av smerte, kjente sykdommen og som en som mennesker skjuler ansiktet for. Foraktet, og vi akta ham ikke.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we did not esteem him.

4 Sannelig, våre sykdommer tok han, våre smerter bar han. Vi derimot regnet han for å være slått, rammet av Gud og plaget.

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 Han ble såret for våre overtredelser og knust for våre misgjerninger. Straffen lå på ham for at vi skulle få fred, ved hans sår har vi fått legedom.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed.

6 Som en flokk sauer gikk vi alle vill, hver tok sin egen vei. Men Herren lot straffen for oss alle komme på ham.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray; each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7 Han ble mishandlet og var plaget, men åpnet ikke sin munn. Som et lam som føres til slakting og som en sau som er stum foran den som klipper den, så åpnet han ikke sin munn.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

8 Fra arrest og dom ble han revet bort. Hvem i hans generasjon tenkte over det? For han ble utryddet fra de levendes land. For mitt folks overtredelse ble han rammet.

By oppression and judgment, he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people, he was punished.

9 Hans grav ble hos ugudelige og hos en rik i hans død, fordi han ikke hadde gjort urett og det ikke var svik i hans munn.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Men det behaget Herren å knuse ham med sykdom. Når hans sjel har båret skyldoffer, skal han få se etterkommere, forlenge sine dager, og Herrens vilje skal ha fremgang ved hans hånd.

Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer. When you make his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

11 Etter møye skal han få se det han gleder seg over og la seg mettes. Med sin kunnskap skal min rettferdige tjener rettferdiggjøre mange, for han har båret deres misgjerninger.

After his suffering, he will see the result and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Derfor gir jeg ham del med de mange, og med de sterke skal han dele bytte. Fordi han utøste sitt liv i døden og ble regnet blant overtredere, mens han bar manges misgjerning og bad for overtrederne.

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death and was numbered with the transgressors. He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
