Hvem har trodd på det vi har hørt? Og for hvem er Herrens arm åpenbart?

Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

For han vokste opp foran ham som en sped plante og som en rot i tørr jord. Han hadde verken prakt eller skjønnhet, så vi kunne ønske ham.

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.

Han ble foraktet og avvist av mennesker; en smertenes mann, vel kjent med sykdom. Vi skjulte våre ansikter for ham, han var foraktet, og vi regnet ham for ingenting.

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.

Sannelig, han tok på seg våre plager og bar våre sorger; likevel betraktet vi ham som rammet, slått av Gud og plaget.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Men han ble såret for våre lovbrudd, knust for våre misgjerninger. Straffen for vår fred lå på ham, og ved hans sår har vi fått legedom.

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.

Alle vi, som får, har gått oss vill. Vi har vendt oss hver til vår egen vei, og Herren har lagt på ham all vår skyld.

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.

Han ble undertrykt og plaget, men åpnet ikke sin munn. Som et lam som føres til slakting, og som en sau som er stille for den som klipper den, åpnet han ikke sin munn.

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.

Han ble tatt fra fengsel og dom, og hvem kan fortelle hans slekt? For han ble revet bort fra de levendes land, straffet for mitt folks lovbrudd.

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.

Hans grav ble gjort hos de ugudelige, og hos den rike i hans død, fordi han hadde gjort ingen vold, og det fantes ikke svik i hans munn.

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.

Likevel behaget det Herren å knuse ham; han lot ham lide. Når du gjør hans sjel til et offer for synd, skal han se sine etterkommere, han skal forlenge sine dager, og Herrens vilje skal lykkes i hans hånd.

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.

Han skal se frukten av sin sjels møye og bli tilfredsstilt. Ved sin kunnskap skal min rettferdige tjener rettferdiggjøre de mange, for han skal bære deres misgjerninger.

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.

Derfor vil jeg gi ham en del med de store, og han skal dele byttet med de sterke, fordi han utøste sin sjel til døden og ble regnet blant lovbryterne. Han bar manges synd og gikk i forbønn for lovbryterne.

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.
