1 Who has believed our message?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 So he comes up as a tender plant before him,
and as a root out of the dry ground.
He has no beauty,
and no splendor that we should see him,
and no attactiveness that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief.
So we hide our faces from him,
he is despised and we have not regarded him.
4 Surely our sicknesses he has borne,
and our sorrows he has carried,
and we have regarded him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he is wounded for our transgressions,
bruised for our iniquities,
the chastisement of our peace is upon him,
and by his stripes we are healed.
6 We all like sheep have gone astray,
each one has turned to his own way,
but Yahweh has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed and afflicted,
but he does not open his mouth.
He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so he does not open his mouth.
8 By restraint and by judgment he was taken,
but of his generations who complains?
For he was cut off from the land of the living,
by the transgression of my people he was stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
although he had done no violence,
and no deceipt was in his mouth.
10 And it pleased Yahweh to bruise him,
to make him sick.
When his soul makes an offering for guilt,
he will see offspring,
he will prolong days,
and the pleasure of Yahweh will prosper in his hand.
11 By the labor of his soul,
he will see, he will be satisfied.
From his knowledge my righteous servant
will make many righteous,
for he will bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion with the great,
and with the mighty he will divide the spoil.
Because he has poured out his soul unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors,
and has borne the sin of many,
for the transgressors his will intercede.
