Isaías 53

The Suffering Servant

1 Who has believed our report?

And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2 For He grew up before Him like a tender *53:2 Lit sucklingshoot,

And like a root out of dry ground;

He has no stately form or majesty

That we would look at Him,

Nor an appearance that we would take pleasure in Him.

3 He was despised and abandoned by men,

A man of *53:3 Lit painsgreat pain and familiar with sickness;

And like one from whom people hide their faces,

He was despised, and we had no regard for Him.

4 However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore,

And our pains that He carried;

Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted,

Struck down by God, and humiliated.

5 But He was *53:5 Or woundedpierced for our offenses,

He was crushed for our wrongdoings;

The punishment for our *53:5 Or peacewell-being was laid upon Him,

And by His wounds we are healed.

6 All of us, like sheep, have gone astray,

Each of us has turned to his own way;

But the Lord has caused the wrongdoing of us all

To *53:6 Lit encounter Himfall on Him.

7 He was oppressed and afflicted,

Yet He did not open His mouth;

Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,

And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,

So He did not open His mouth.

8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;

And as for His generation, who considered

That He was cut off from the land of the *53:8 Or lifeliving

For the wrongdoing of my people, to whom the blow was due?

9 And His grave was assigned with wicked men,

Yet He was with a rich man in His death,

Because He had done no violence,

Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

10 But the Lord desired

To crush Him, *53:10 Lit He made Him sickcausing Him grief;

If He renders *53:10 Lit His soulHimself as a guilt offering,

He will see His*53:10 Lit seedoffspring,

He will prolong His days,

And the *53:10 Or will ofgood pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.

11 As a result of the *53:11 Or troubleanguish of His soul,

He will *53:11 DSS see light; LXX also has lightsee it and be satisfied;

By His knowledge the Righteous One,

My Servant, will justify the many,

For He will bear their wrongdoings.

12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great,

And He will divide the plunder with the strong,

Because He poured out His *53:12 Lit soullife unto death,

And was counted with wrongdoers;

Yet He Himself bore the sin of many,

And interceded for the wrongdoers.
