Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 053
53:001
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the
arm of HaShem been revealed
53:002
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out
of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him,
nor beauty that we should delight in him
53:003
He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and
acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was
despised, and we esteemed him not
53:004
Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried;
whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of G-d, and afflicted
53:005
But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was
crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him,
and with his stripes we were healed
53:006
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his
own way; and HaShem hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all
53:007
He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not
his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before
her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth
53:008
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his
generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for
the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due
53:009
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich
his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his
mouth.
53:010
Yet it pleased HaShem to crush him by disease; to see if
his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong
his days, and that the purpose of HaShem might prosper by his hand
53:011
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even
My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and
their iniquities he did bear
53:012
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and
he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors
