Revised Literal Translation
Isaiah 53:1-9
1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of Yhwh revealed?1 2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root 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. 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.2
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.34 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; And Yhwh hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.5 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.67 9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.8
