Isaiah 53 53 Isaiah Comfort: the Servant of the Lord Arabic Literal Text 2 GLT نَبَتَ قُدَّامَهُ كَفَرْخٍ وَكَعِرْقٍ مِنْ أَرْضٍ يَابِسَةٍ، لَا صُورَةَ لَهُ وَلَا جَمَالَ فَنَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ، وَلَا مَنْظَرَ فَنَشْتَهِيَهُ. BSB BSB: He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 GLT مُحْتَقَرٌ وَمَخْذُولٌ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ، رَجُلُ أَوْجَاعٍ وَمُخْتَبِرُ ٱلْحَزَنِ، وَكَمُسَتَّرٍ عَنْهُ وُجُوهُنَا، مُحْتَقَرٌ فَلَمْ نَعْتَدَّ بِهِ. BSB BSB: He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
6 GLT كُلُّنَا كَغَنَمٍ ضَلَلْنَا. مِلْنَا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى طَرِيقِهِ، وَٱلرَّبُّ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ إِثْمَ جَمِيعِنَا. BSB BSB: We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
8 GLT مِنَ ٱلضُّغْطَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلدَّيْنُونَةِ أُخِذَ. وَفِي جِيلِهِ مَنْ كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ قُطِعَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ، أَنَّهُ ضُرِبَ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَنْبِ شَعْبِي؟ BSB BSB: By oppression and judgment He was taken away, and who can recount His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was stricken for the transgression of My people.
9 GLT وَجُعِلَ مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ قَبْرُهُ، وَمَعَ غَنِيٍّ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ. عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ ظُلْمًا، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي فَمِهِ غِشٌّ. BSB BSB: He was assigned a 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 GLT أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَسُرَّ بِأَنْ يَسْحَقَهُ بِٱلْحَزَنِ. إِنْ جَعَلَ نَفْسَهُ ذَبِيحَةَ إِثْمٍ يَرَى نَسْلًا تَطُولُ أَيَّامُهُ، وَمَسَرَّةُ ٱلرَّبِّ بِيَدِهِ تَنْجَحُ. BSB BSB: Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 GLT مِنْ تَعَبِ نَفْسِهِ يَرَى وَيَشْبَعُ، وَعَبْدِي ٱلْبَارُّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ يُبَرِّرُ كَثِيرِينَ، وَآثَامُهُمْ هُوَ يَحْمِلُهَا. BSB BSB: After the anguish of His soul, 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 GLT لِذَلِكَ أَقْسِمُ لَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ وَمَعَ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ يَقْسِمُ غَنِيمَةً، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ سَكَبَ لِلْمَوْتِ نَفْسَهُ وَأُحْصِيَ مَعَ أَثَمَةٍ، وَهُوَ حَمَلَ خَطِيَّةَ كَثِيرِينَ وَشَفَعَ فِي ٱلْمُذْنِبِينَ. BSB BSB: Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
