He was pierced for our transgressions; the LORD (יהוה) has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. By His wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:1-12 NIV . . .Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD (יהוה) been revealed? (2) He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. (3) He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. (4) Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. (5) But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (6) We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD (יהוה) has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (7) He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. (8) By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. (9) He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. (10) Yet it was the LORD (יהוה)'s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD (יהוה) makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD (יהוה) will prosper in his hand. (11) After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. (12) Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12 WEB . . .Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh (יהוה) been revealed? (2) For 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. (3) He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him. (4) Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. (5) But 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. (6) All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh (יהוה) has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (7) He 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. (8) He 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? (9) They 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. (10) Yet it pleased Yahweh (יהוה) 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 days and Yahweh (יהוה)’s pleasure will prosper in his hand. (11) After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities. (12) Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12 ESV . . .Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD (יהוה) been revealed? (2) For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. (3) He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. (5) But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. (6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD (יהוה) has laid on him the iniquity of us all. (7) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. (8) By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? (9) And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. (10) Yet it was the will of the LORD (יהוה) to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD (יהוה) shall prosper in his hand. (11) Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. (12) Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:1-12 GNB . . .Who would have believed what we heard? Who saw the LORD (יהוה)'s power in this? (2) It was the will of the LORD (יהוה) that his servant grow like a plant taking root in dry ground. He had no dignity or beauty to make us take notice of him. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him. (3) We despised him and rejected him; he endured suffering and pain. No one would even look at him— we ignored him as if he were nothing. (4) "But he endured the suffering that should have been ours, the pain that we should have borne. All the while we thought that his suffering was punishment sent by God. (5) But because of our sins he was wounded, beaten because of the evil we did. We are healed by the punishment he suffered, made whole by the blows he received. (6) All of us were like sheep that were lost, each of us going his own way. But the LORD (יהוה) made the punishment fall on him, the punishment all of us deserved. (7) "He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly; he never said a word. Like a lamb about to be slaughtered, like a sheep about to be sheared, he never said a word. (8) He was arrested and sentenced and led off to die, and no one cared about his fate. He was put to death for the sins of our people. (9) He was placed in a grave with those who are evil, he was buried with the rich, even though he had never committed a crime or ever told a lie." (10) The LORD (יהוה) says, "It was my will that he should suffer; his death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness. And so he will see his descendants; he will live a long life, and through him my purpose will succeed. (11) After a life of suffering, he will again have joy; he will know that he did not suffer in vain. My devoted servant, with whom I am pleased, will bear the punishment of many and for his sake I will forgive them. (12) And so I will give him a place of honor, a place among the great and powerful. He willingly gave his life and shared the fate of evil men. He took the place of many sinners and prayed that they might be forgiven."
Isaiah 53:1-12 CEV . . .Has anyone believed us or seen the mighty power of the LORD (יהוה) in action? (2) Like a young plant or a root that sprouts in dry ground, the servant grew up obeying the LORD (יהוה). He wasn't some handsome king. Nothing about the way he looked made him attractive to us. (3) He was hated and rejected; his life was filled with sorrow and terrible suffering. No one wanted to look at him. We despised him and said, "He is a nobody!" (4) He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought his suffering was punishment from God. (5) He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our punishment, he made us completely well. (6) All of us were like sheep that had wandered off. We had each gone our own way, but the LORD (יהוה) gave him the punishment we deserved. (7) He was painfully abused, but he did not complain. He was silent like a lamb being led to the butcher, as quiet as a sheep having its wool cut off. (8) He was condemned to death without a fair trial. Who could have imagined what would happen to him? His life was taken away because of the sinful things my people had done. (9) He wasn't dishonest or violent, but he was buried in a tomb of cruel and rich people. (10) The LORD (יהוה) decided his servant would suffer as a sacrifice to take away the sin and guilt of others. Now the servant will live to see his own descendants. He did everything the LORD (יהוה) had planned. (11) By suffering, the servant will learn the true meaning of obeying the LORD (יהוה). Although he is innocent, he will take the punishment for the sins of others, so that many of them will no longer be guilty. (12) The LORD (יהוה) will reward him with honor and power for sacrificing his life. Others thought he was a sinner, but he suffered for our sins and asked God to forgive us.
