Isaiah 53 (WEBP)

[1] Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm 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 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 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’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 53:11 So read the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint. Masoretic Text omits “the light”.

Isaiah 53 (BYZ)

[1] κυριε τις επιστευσεν τη ακοη ημων και ο βραχιων κυριου τινι απεκαλυφθη
[2] ανηγγειλαμεν εναντιον αυτου ως παιδιον ως ριζα εν γη διψωση ουκ εστιν ειδος αυτω ουδε δοξα και ειδομεν αυτον και ουκ ειχεν ειδος ουδε καλλος
[3] αλλα το ειδος αυτου ατιμον εκλειπον παρα παντας ανθρωπους ανθρωπος εν πληγη ων και ειδως φερειν μαλακιαν οτι απεστραπται το προσωπον αυτου ητιμασθη και ουκ ελογισθη
[4] ουτος τας αμαρτιας ημων φερει και περι ημων οδυναται και ημεις ελογισαμεθα αυτον ειναι εν πονω και εν πληγη και εν κακωσει
[5] αυτος δε ετραυματισθη δια τας ανομιας ημων και μεμαλακισται δια τας αμαρτιας ημων παιδεια ειρηνης ημων επ αυτον τω μωλωπι αυτου ημεις ιαθημεν
[6] παντες ως προβατα επλανηθημεν ανθρωπος τη οδω αυτου επλανηθη και κυριος παρεδωκεν αυτον ταις αμαρτιαις ημων
[7] και αυτος δια το κεκακωσθαι ουκ ανοιγει το στομα ως προβατον επι σφαγην ηχθη και ως αμνος εναντιον του κειροντος αυτον αφωνος ουτως ουκ ανοιγει το στομα αυτου
[8] εν τη ταπεινωσει η κρισις αυτου ηρθη την γενεαν αυτου τις διηγησεται οτι αιρεται απο της γης η ζωη αυτου απο των ανομιων του λαου μου ηχθη εις θανατον
[9] και δωσω τους πονηρους αντι της ταφης αυτου και τους πλουσιους αντι του θανατου αυτου οτι ανομιαν ουκ εποιησεν ουδε ευρεθη δολος εν τω στοματι αυτου
[10] και κυριος βουλεται καθαρισαι αυτον της πληγης εαν δωτε περι αμαρτιας η ψυχη υμων οψεται σπερμα μακροβιον και βουλεται κυριος αφελειν
[11] απο του πονου της ψυχης αυτου δειξαι αυτω φως και πλασαι τη συνεσει δικαιωσαι δικαιον ευ δουλευοντα πολλοις και τας αμαρτιας αυτων αυτος ανοισει
[12] δια τουτο αυτος κληρονομησει πολλους και των ισχυρων μεριει σκυλα ανθ ων παρεδοθη εις θανατον η ψυχη αυτου και εν τοις ανομοις ελογισθη και αυτος αμαρτιας πολλων ανηνεγκεν και δια τας αμαρτιας αυτων παρεδοθη
