Isaiah

Chapter 53
1
Phonetic (Hebrew): mi֥y he'emi֖yn lishshemu'ate֑nu uzer֥o'a yehva֖h 'al-mi֥y nigelaֽtah׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Who has believed [1] our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

מִ֥י הֶאֱמִ֖ין לִשְׁמֻעָתֵ֑נוּ וּזְר֥וֹעַ יְהוָ֖ה עַל־מִ֥י נִגְלָֽתָה׃

2
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּa֨'al kּayּone֜q lepana֗yv vekashshּo֨reshsh֙ me'e֣retz tziyּa֔h lo'-to֥'ar l֖o velo֣ hada֑r venire'e֥hu veloֽ'-mare'e֖h venechemedeֽhu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For he shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

וַיַּ֨עַל כַּיּוֹנֵ֜ק לְפָנָ֗יו וְכַשֹּׁ֨רֶשׁ֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ צִיָּ֔ה לֹא־תֹ֥אַר ל֖וֹ וְלֹ֣א הָדָ֑ר וְנִרְאֵ֥הוּ וְלֹֽא־מַרְאֶ֖ה וְנֶחְמְדֵֽהוּ׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): nibezeh֙ vachada֣l 'iyshshi֔ym 'i֥yshsh make'ob֖ot viyd֣u'a cho֑liy ukemasetּe֤r pּaniym֙ mimּe֔nּu nibeze֖h velo֥ chashshabenuֽhu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He 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.

נִבְזֶה֙ וַחֲדַ֣ל אִישִׁ֔ים אִ֥ישׁ מַכְאֹב֖וֹת וִיד֣וּעַ חֹ֑לִי וּכְמַסְתֵּ֤ר פָּנִים֙ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ נִבְזֶ֖ה וְלֹ֥א חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ׃

4
Phonetic (Hebrew): ake֤n cholaye֨nu֙ h֣u nashsa֔ umake'obe֖ynu sebala֑m va'ana֣chenu chashshabenu֔hu nag֛u'a mukּe֥h 'elohi֖ym ume'unּeֽh׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

אָכֵ֤ן חֳלָיֵ֨נוּ֙ ה֣וּא נָשָׂ֔א וּמַכְאֹבֵ֖ינוּ סְבָלָ֑ם וַאֲנַ֣חְנוּ חֲשַׁבְנֻ֔הוּ נָג֛וּעַ מֻכֵּ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים וּמְעֻנֶּֽה׃

5
Phonetic (Hebrew): vehu'֙ mechola֣l mipּeshsha'e֔nu medukּa֖ me'avonote֑ynu musa֤r shshelome֨nu֙ 'ala֔yv ubachaburat֖o nirepּa'-laֽnu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)But 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.

וְהוּא֙ מְחֹלָ֣ל מִפְּשָׁעֵ֔נוּ מְדֻכָּ֖א מֵעֲוֺנֹתֵ֑ינוּ מוּסַ֤ר שְׁלוֹמֵ֨נוּ֙ עָלָ֔יו וּבַחֲבֻרָת֖וֹ נִרְפָּא־לָֽנוּ׃

6
Phonetic (Hebrew): kּulּa֨nu֙ kּatzּo֣'n tּa'i֔ynu 'i֥yshsh ledarekּ֖o pּani֑ynu vaֽyhvah֙ hipegּi֣y'a bּ֔o 'e֖t 'avo֥n kּulּaֽnu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

כֻּלָּ֨נוּ֙ כַּצֹּ֣אן תָּעִ֔ינוּ אִ֥ישׁ לְדַרְכּ֖וֹ פָּנִ֑ינוּ וַֽיהוָה֙ הִפְגִּ֣יעַ בּ֔וֹ אֵ֖ת עֲוֺ֥ן כֻּלָּֽנוּ׃

7
Phonetic (Hebrew): nigּa֨shs veh֣u na'aneh֮ velo֣ yipetּach-pּiyv֒ kּashsּeh֙ latּe֣bach yuba֔l ukerache֕l lipene֥y gozeze֖yha ne'ela֑mah velo֥ yipetּa֖ch pּiֽyv׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He 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 opens not his mouth.

נִגַּ֨שׂ וְה֣וּא נַעֲנֶה֮ וְלֹ֣א יִפְתַּח־פִּיו֒ כַּשֶּׂה֙ לַטֶּ֣בַח יוּבָ֔ל וּכְרָחֵ֕ל לִפְנֵ֥י גֹזְזֶ֖יהָ נֶאֱלָ֑מָה וְלֹ֥א יִפְתַּ֖ח פִּֽיו׃

8
Phonetic (Hebrew): me'o֤tzer umimּishshepּat֙ luqּa֔ch ve'et-dּor֖o mi֣y yeshsoche֑cha kּi֤y nigezar֙ me'e֣retz chayּi֔ym mipּe֥shsha 'amּi֖y ne֥ga laֽmo׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He was taken from prison and from judgement: 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.

מֵעֹ֤צֶר וּמִמִּשְׁפָּט֙ לֻקָּ֔ח וְאֶת־דּוֹר֖וֹ מִ֣י יְשׂוֹחֵ֑חַ כִּ֤י נִגְזַר֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֔ים מִפֶּ֥שַׁע עַמִּ֖י נֶ֥גַע לָֽמוֹ׃

9
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּe֤n 'et-reshsha'iym֙ qiber֔o ve'et-'ashshi֖yr bּemota֑yv 'a֚l lo'-chama֣s 'ashsa֔h velo֥ mirema֖h bּepiֽyv׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And 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.

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־רְשָׁעִים֙ קִבְר֔וֹ וְאֶת־עָשִׁ֖יר בְּמֹתָ֑יו עַ֚ל לֹא־חָמָ֣ס עָשָׂ֔ה וְלֹ֥א מִרְמָ֖ה בְּפִֽיו׃

10
Phonetic (Hebrew): vayhva֞h chape֤tz dּakּe'o֙ heֽcheli֔y 'im-tּashsi֤ym 'ashsham֙ napeshsh֔o yire'e֥h ze֖ra ya'ari֣yke yami֑ym veche֥petz yehva֖h bּeyad֥o yitzelaֽch׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; He has put him to grief: when You shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

וַיהוָ֞ה חָפֵ֤ץ דַּכְּאוֹ֙ הֶֽחֱלִ֔י אִם־תָּשִׂ֤ים אָשָׁם֙ נַפְשׁ֔וֹ יִרְאֶ֥ה זֶ֖רַע יַאֲרִ֣יךְ יָמִ֑ים וְחֵ֥פֶץ יְהוָ֖ה בְּיָד֥וֹ יִצְלָֽח׃

11
Phonetic (Hebrew): me'ama֤l napeshsho֙ yire'e֣h yishsebּa֔ bּeda'etּ֗o yatzedּi֥yq tzadּi֛yq 'abedּi֖y laֽrabּi֑ym va'avonota֖m h֥u yisebּoֽl׃
Edified Edition (EDE)He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall My righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

מֵעֲמַ֤ל נַפְשׁוֹ֙ יִרְאֶ֣ה יִשְׂבָּ֔ע בְּדַעְתּ֗וֹ יַצְדִּ֥יק צַדִּ֛יק עַבְדִּ֖י לָֽרַבִּ֑ים וַעֲוֺנֹתָ֖ם ה֥וּא יִסְבֹּֽל׃

12
Phonetic (Hebrew): lake֞n 'achalּeq-l֣o barabּi֗ym ve'et-'atzumiym֮ yechalּe֣q shshalal֒ tּa֗chat 'ashshe֨r he'era֤h lamּa֨vet֙ napeshsh֔o ve'et-pּoshshe'i֖ym nimena֑h vehu'֙ chete'-rabּi֣ym nashsa֔ velapּoshshe'i֖ym yapegּiֽy'a׃s
Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

לָכֵ֞ן אֲחַלֶּק־ל֣וֹ בָרַבִּ֗ים וְאֶת־עֲצוּמִים֮ יְחַלֵּ֣ק שָׁלָל֒ תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֨ר הֶעֱרָ֤ה לַמָּ֨וֶת֙ נַפְשׁ֔וֹ וְאֶת־פֹּשְׁעִ֖ים נִמְנָ֑ה וְהוּא֙ חֵטְא־רַבִּ֣ים נָשָׂ֔א וְלַפֹּשְׁעִ֖ים יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃ס
