Isaiah 53 — TOJB

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

53Verse 1Who hath believed our report?
And to whom is the Zero'a Hashem+revealed?
Verse 2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a Shoresh (Root, Shoresh Yishai, Moshiach Ben Dovid)+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.
Verse 3He is despised and chadal ishim (rejected by men);
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with suffering;
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Verse 4Surely he hath borne our sufferings,
and nasah (carried)+our sorrows;
yet we did esteem him stricken,+
smitten of G-d,+and afflicted.
Verse 5But he was pierced+for our transgressions,
he was bruised mei'avonoteinu (for our iniquities);
the musar (chastisement) that brought us shalom+was upon him [Moshiach];
and at the cost of his [Moshiachʼs] chaburah (stripes, lacerations) we are healed.
Verse 6All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own derech+(way);
and Hashem hath laid on him+
the avon (iniquity, the guilt that separates from G-d) of us all.
Verse 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
he is brought as a seh+(lamb) to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
Verse 8He was taken from prison and from judgment;
and who of his generation declared?
For he was cut off+out of Eretz Chayyim+
mipesha ami (for the transgression of my people [Yisroel]),
nega+(plague) lamo ([fell] on him).+
Verse 9And he made his kever (grave) with the resha'im,
and with the oisher+(rich man) bemotayv (in his deaths, intensive plural should be translated singular, death);
because he had done no chamas (violence),
neither was any mirmah (deceit) in his mouth.+
Verse 10Yet it pleased Hashem to bruise him;
He hath put him to suffering;
when Thou shalt make his nefesh an asham offering for sin,
he (Moshiach) shall see zera,+
He shall prolong his yamim (days)
and the chefetz Hashem(pleasure, will of Hashem) shall prosper in his+hand.
Verse 11He+shall see of the travail of his+nefesh, and shall be satisfied;
by knowledge of him+
shall Tzadik Avdi (My Righteous Servant)+justify many;+
for he+shall bear their avon (iniquities).
Verse 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great,
and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he hath poured out his nefesh unto mavet (death);
and he was numbered with the transgressors;
and he nasah+(bore) [like the Yom Kippur scapegoat] the sin of many,
and made intercession+for the transgressors.+
