Isaiah 53

mi he'emin lishmu'atenu uzeroa Adonai al-mi niglatah

“Who can believe what we have heard? Upon whom has the arm of GOD been revealed?

vayya'al kayyoneq lefanayw vekhashoresh me'erets tsiyyah lo-to'ar lo velo hadar venirehu velo-mareh venekhmedehu

For he has grown, by God’s favor, like a tree crown, Like a tree trunk out of arid ground. He had no form or beauty, that we should look at him: No charm, that we should find him pleasing.

nivzeh vakhadal ishim ish makhovot vidua kholi ukhemaster panim mimmennu nivzeh velo khashavnuhu

He was despised, shunned by others, A man of suffering, familiar with disease. As one who hid his face from us, He was despised, we held him of no account.

akhen kholayenu hu nasa umakhovenu sevalam va'anakhnu khashavnuhu nagua mukkeh elohim ume'unneh

Yet it was our sickness that he was bearing, Our suffering that he endured. We accounted him plagued, Smitten and afflicted by God;

vehu mekholal mippesha'enu medukka me'avonotenu musar shelomenu alayw uvakhavurato nirpa-lanu

But he was wounded because of our sins, Crushed because of our iniquities. He bore the chastisement that made us whole, And by his bruises we were healed.

kullanu katson ta'inu ish ledarko paninu va-Adonai hifgia bo et avon kullanu

We all went astray like sheep, Each of us going our own way; And GOD visited upon him The guilt of all of us.”

niggas vehu na'aneh velo yiftakh-piv kasseh lattevakh yuval ukherakhel lifne gozezeha ne'elamah velo yiftakh piv

He was maltreated, yet he was submissive, He did not open his mouth; Like a sheep being led to slaughter, Like a ewe, dumb before those who shear her, He did not open his mouth.

me'otser umimmishpat luqqakh ve'et-doro mi yesokheakh ki nigzar me'erets khayyim mippesha ammi nega lamo

By oppressive judgment he was taken away, Who could describe his abode? For he was cut off from the land of the living Through the sin of my people, who deserved the punishment.

vayyitten et-resha'im qivro ve'et-ashir bemotayw al lo-khamas asah velo mirmah befiv

And his grave was set among the wicked, And with the rich, in his death— Though he had done no injustice And had spoken no falsehood.

va-Adonai khafets dakke'o hekheli im-tasim asham nafsho yireh zera ya'arikh yamim vekhefets Adonai beyado yitslakh

But GOD chose to crush him by disease, That, if he made himself an offering for guilt, He might see offspring and have long life, And that through him GOD’s purpose might prosper.

me'amal nafsho yireh yisba bedato yatsdiq tsaddiq avdi larabbim va'avonotam hu yisbol

Out of his anguish he shall see it; He shall enjoy it to the full through his devotion. “My righteous servant makes the many righteous, It is their punishment that he bears;

lakhen akhalleq-lo varabbim ve'et-atsumim yekhalleq shalal takhat asher he'erah lammavet nafsho ve'et-poshe'im nimnah vehu khet-rabbim nasa velapposhe'im yafgia

Assuredly, I will give him the many as his portion, He shall receive the multitude as his spoil. For he exposed himself to death And was numbered among the sinners, Whereas he bore the guilt of the many And made intercession for sinners.”
