Isaiah 53
53
1Who has believed what we have heard? # Or believed our report
And who has the arm of the Lord # Is 30:30; 40:10; 48:14; 51:9; 52:10; Lk 1:51; Ac 13:17 been revealed to? # Jn 12:38; Rm 10:16
2He grew up before Him like a young plant # Is 11:1
and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at Him,
no appearance that we should desire Him. # Is 52:14
3He was despised and rejected by men, # Ps 22:6; Is 49:7; Lk 18:31-33
a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. # Mk 8:31; Jn 1:10-11; Heb 4:15
He was like someone people turned away from; # Lit And like a hiding of faces from Him
He was despised, and we didn’t value Him.
4Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses,
and He carried our pains; # Mt 8:17; 1Pt 2:21
but we in turn regarded Him stricken,
struck down by God, # Ps 69:26 and afflicted.
5But He was pierced because of our transgressions, # Is 53:8; Rm 4:25; 1Co 15:3; Heb 9:28
crushed because of our iniquities; # Is 1:4
punishment # Jr 2:30; Zph 3:2; Heb 5:8 for our peace was on Him,
and we are healed by His wounds. # 1Pt 2:24-25
6We all went astray like sheep; # Mt 18:12
we all have turned to our own way;
and the Lord has punished Him
for # Or has placed on Him ; lit with the iniquity # Is 13:11 of us all. # 2Co 5:21; Col 2:14
7He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth.
Like a lamb led to the slaughter
and like a sheep silent before her shearers,
He did not open His mouth. # Jr 11:19; Mt 26:63; 27:12-14; Lk 23:9; Jn 19:9; Ac 8:32-33; 1Pt 2:23
8He was taken away because of oppression and judgment;
and who considered His fate? # Or and as for His generation, who considered Him ?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
He was struck because of my people’s rebellion.
9They # DSS; MT reads He made His grave with the wicked
and with a rich man at His death, # Mt 27:57-60
although He had done no violence
and had not spoken deceitfully. # Heb 4:15; 1Pt 2:22; 1Jn 3:5
10Yet the Lord was pleased # Is 44:28; 55:11 to crush Him severely. # Or Him; He made Him sick. # Dt 29:22; Is 17:11
When # Or If You make Him a restitution offering, # Lv 5:1-19
He will see His seed, He will prolong His days,
and by His hand, the Lord’s pleasure will be accomplished. # Is 46:10
11He will see it # DSS, LXX read see light out of His anguish,
and He will be satisfied with His knowledge.
My righteous # 1Jn 2:1 Servant # Is 42:1 will justify many, # Ac 13:39; Rm 5:18-19
and He will carry their iniquities.
12Therefore I will give Him # Or Him with the many as a portion,
and He will receive # Or receive with the mighty as spoil,
because He submitted Himself to death, # Mt 26:42; Jn 10:14-18; Php 2:6-8
and was counted among the rebels; # Lk 22:37
yet He bore the sin of many # Heb 9:28
and interceded for the rebels. # Lk 23:34; Rm 8:34; Heb 7:25

Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 53
53
1Who believes our report?
To whom is the arm of Adonai revealed?
2For before him he grew up like a young plant,
like a root out of dry ground.
He was not well-formed or especially handsome;
we saw him, but his appearance did not attract us.
3People despised and avoided him,
a man of pains, well acquainted with illness.
Like someone from whom people turn their faces,
he was despised; we did not value him.
4In fact, it was our diseases he bore,
our pains from which he suffered;
yet we regarded him as punished,
stricken and afflicted by God.
5But he was wounded because of our crimes,
crushed because of our sins;
the disciplining that makes us whole fell on him,
and by his bruises* we are healed.
6We all, like sheep, went astray;
we turned, each one, to his own way;
yet Adonai laid on him
the guilt of all of us.
7Though mistreated, he was submissive —
he did not open his mouth.
Like a lamb led to be slaughtered,
like a sheep silent before its shearers,
he did not open his mouth.
8After forcible arrest and sentencing,
he was taken away;
and none of his generation protested
his being cut off from the land of the living
for the crimes of my people,
who deserved the punishment themselves.
9He was given a grave among the wicked;
in his death he was with a rich man.
Although he had done no violence
and had said nothing deceptive,
10yet it pleased Adonai to crush him with illness,
to see if he would present himself as a guilt offering.
If he does, he will see his offspring;
and he will prolong his days;
and at his hand Adonai’s desire
will be accomplished.
11After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction.
“By his knowing [pain and sacrifice],
my righteous servant makes many righteous;
it is for their sins that he suffers.
12Therefore I will assign him a share with the great,
he will divide the spoil with the mighty,
for having exposed himself to death
and being counted among the sinners,
while actually bearing the sin of many
and interceding for the offenders.”
