Isaiah

1Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

2For he grew 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 see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.

4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5But 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.

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

8By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due?

9And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it pleased Jehovah 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 Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

1Who has believed our message?To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?

2For he grew up before him as a tender plant,and as a root out of dry ground.He has no good looks or majesty.When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3He was despisedand rejected by men,a man of sufferingand acquainted with disease.He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;and we didn’t respect him.

4Surely he has borne our sicknessand carried our suffering;yet we considered him plagued,struck by God, and afflicted.

5But he was pierced for our transgressions.He was crushed for our iniquities.The punishment that brought our peace was on him;and by his wounds we are healed.

6All we like sheep have gone astray.Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed,yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth.As a lamb that is led to the slaughter,and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

8He was taken away by oppression and judgment.As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?

9They made his grave with the wicked,and with a rich man in his death,although he had done no violence,nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him.He has caused him to suffer.When you make his soul an offering for sin,he will see his offspring.He will prolong his daysand the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

11After the suffering of his soul,he will see the lightand be satisfied.My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself;and he will bear their iniquities.

12Therefore I will give him a portion with the great.He will divide the plunder with the strong,because he poured out his soul to deathand was counted with the transgressors;yet he bore the sins of manyand made intercession for the transgressors.
