Yeshayah 53 — Hebrew–OJB Interlinear

1

מִ֥י SDBH Who הֶאֱמִ֖ין SDBH has believed לִשְׁמֻעָתֵ֑נוּ SDBH our message וּזְר֥וֹעַ SDBH has the arm יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi עַל־ And to מִ֥י SDBH whom נִגְלָֽתָה׃ SDBH been revealed

Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the Zero'a Hashem [Yeshayah 52:10] revealed?

2

וַיַּ֨עַל SDBH He grew up כַּיּוֹנֵ֜ק SDBH like a tender shoot לְפָנָ֗יו before Him וְכַשֹּׁ֙רֶשׁ֙ SDBH and like a root מֵאֶ֣רֶץ SDBH ground צִיָּ֔ה SDBH out of dry לֹא־ SDBH He had no תֹ֥אַר SDBH [stately] form ל֖וֹ וְלֹ֣א SDBH - הָדָ֑ר SDBH or majesty וְנִרְאֵ֥הוּ SDBH to attract us וְלֹֽא־ SDBH no מַרְאֶ֖ה SDBH beauty וְנֶחְמְדֵֽהוּ׃ SDBH that we should desire Him

For he shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a Shoresh (Root, Shoresh Yishai, Moshiach, Yeshayah 11:10, Sanhedrin93b) 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 [Chaggai 2:7] him.

3

נִבְזֶה֙ SDBH He was despised וַחֲדַ֣ל SDBH and rejected אִישִׁ֔ים SDBH by men אִ֥ישׁ SDBH a man מַכְאֹב֖וֹת SDBH of sorrows וִיד֣וּעַ SDBH acquainted חֹ֑לִי SDBH with grief וּכְמַסְתֵּ֤ר SDBH Like one from whom men hide פָּנִים֙ their faces מִמֶּ֔נּוּ . . . נִבְזֶ֖ה SDBH He was despised וְלֹ֥א SDBH not חֲשַׁבְנֻֽהוּ׃ SDBH and we esteemed Him

He is despised and chadal ishim (rejected by men); a man of sorrows, and acquainted with suffering; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4

אָכֵ֤ן SDBH Surely חֳלָיֵ֙נוּ֙ SDBH our infirmities ה֣וּא SDBH He נָשָׂ֔א SDBH took up וּמַכְאֹבֵ֖ינוּ SDBH our sorrows סְבָלָ֑ם SDBH and carried וַאֲנַ֣חְנוּ SDBH yet we חֲשַׁבְנֻ֔הוּ SDBH considered Him נָג֛וּעַ SDBH stricken מֻכֵּ֥ה SDBH struck down אֱלֹהִ֖ים SDBH by G-d וּמְעֻנֶּֽה׃ SDBH and afflicted

Surely he hath borne our sufferings, and carried [Vayikra 16:22; Yeshayah 53:12] our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, [i.e., like a leper is stricken] smitten of G-d, and afflicted [see verse 8 below]. [

5

וְהוּא֙ SDBH But He מְחֹלָ֣ל SDBH was pierced מִפְּשָׁעֵ֔נוּ SDBH for our transgressions מְדֻכָּ֖א SDBH He was crushed מֵעֲוֺנֹתֵ֑ינוּ SDBH for our iniquities מוּסַ֤ר SDBH the punishment שְׁלוֹמֵ֙נוּ֙ SDBH that brought us peace עָלָ֔יו was upon Him וּבַחֲבֻרָת֖וֹ SDBH and by His stripes נִרְפָּא־ SDBH we are healed לָֽנוּ׃

But he was pierced [Yeshayah 51:9; Zecharyah 12:10 Sukkah 52a, Tehillim 22:17 Targum Hashivim] for our transgressions, he was bruised mei'avonoteinu (for our iniquities); the musar (chastisement) that brought us shalom [Yeshayah 54:10] was upon him [Moshiach]; and at the cost of his (Moshiach's) chaburah (stripes, lacerations) we are healed.

6

כֻּלָּ֙נוּ֙ We all כַּצֹּ֣אן SDBH like sheep תָּעִ֔ינוּ SDBH have gone astray אִ֥ישׁ SDBH each one לְדַרְכּ֖וֹ SDBH to his own way פָּנִ֑ינוּ SDBH has turned וַֽיהוָה֙ SDBH Hashem/Adonoi הִפְגִּ֣יעַ SDBH has laid בּ֔וֹ אֵ֖ת SDBH upon Him עֲוֺ֥ן SDBH the iniquity כֻּלָּֽנוּ׃ of us all

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own derech (way; see Prov 16:25); and Hashem hath laid on him [Moshiach] the avon (iniquity, the guilt that separates from G-d) of us all.

7

נִגַּ֨שׂ SDBH He was oppressed וְה֣וּא SDBH . . . נַעֲנֶה֮ SDBH and afflicted וְלֹ֣א SDBH yet He did not יִפְתַּח־ SDBH open פִּיו֒ SDBH His mouth כַּשֶּׂה֙ SDBH like a lamb לַטֶּ֣בַח SDBH to the slaughter יוּבָ֔ל SDBH He was led וּכְרָחֵ֕ל SDBH and as a sheep לִפְנֵ֥י before גֹזְזֶ֖יהָ SDBH her shearers נֶאֱלָ֑מָה SDBH is silent וְלֹ֥א SDBH so He did not יִפְתַּ֖ח SDBH open פִּֽיו׃ SDBH His mouth

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a seh (lamb; see Shemot 12:3) to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8

מֵעֹ֤צֶר SDBH By oppression וּמִמִּשְׁפָּט֙ SDBH and judgment לֻקָּ֔ח SDBH He was taken away וְאֶת־ SDBH and דּוֹר֖וֹ SDBH His descendants מִ֣י SDBH who יְשׂוֹחֵ֑חַ SDBH can recount כִּ֤י For נִגְזַר֙ SDBH He was cut off מֵאֶ֣רֶץ SDBH from the land חַיִּ֔ים SDBH of the living מִפֶּ֥שַׁע SDBH for the transgression עַמִּ֖י SDBH of My people נֶ֥גַע SDBH He was stricken לָֽמוֹ׃

He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who of his generation declared? For he was cut off [Daniel 9:26; Vayikra 17:10] out of Eretz Chayyim [this refers to the mot of Moshiach Ben Dovid, see v.12] mipesha ami (for the transgression of my people [Yisroel]) -nega (plague cf Ps 91:10) lamo ([fell] on him [i.e., Moshiach; in light of Ps 11:7 and Job 22:2 we are warranted in saying the suffix is a singular, |him,| not |them|. Cf Gen 9:26-27; Deut 33:2; Isa 44:15; also compare Divrey Hayamim Alef 21:17]).

9

וַיִּתֵּ֤ן He was assigned אֶת־ SDBH with רְשָׁעִים֙ SDBH the wicked קִבְר֔וֹ SDBH a grave וְאֶת־ SDBH and with עָשִׁ֖יר SDBH a rich man בְּמֹתָ֑יו SDBH in His death עַ֚ל although לֹא־ SDBH no חָמָ֣ס SDBH violence עָשָׂ֔ה SDBH He had done וְלֹ֥א SDBH nor מִרְמָ֖ה SDBH was any deceit בְּפִֽיו׃ SDBH in His mouth

And he made his kever (grave) with the resha'im, and with the oisher (rich man; see Mt 27:57-60) bemotayv (in his deaths, intensive plural should be translated singular, death); because he had done no chamas (violence), neither was any mirmah (deceit) in his mouth. T.N. We stray as sheep; we return in Moshiach as children (zera); the Techiyas HaMoshiach (Resurrection of Moshiach) predicted in v. 10 [Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah Scroll says Moshiach |will see the light [of life];| see also the Targum HaShivim]

10

וַיהוָ֞ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi חָפֵ֤ץ SDBH will דַּכְּאוֹ֙ SDBH to crush Him הֶֽחֱלִ֔י SDBH and to cause Him to suffer אִם־ SDBH and when תָּשִׂ֤ים SDBH is made אָשָׁם֙ SDBH a guilt offering נַפְשׁ֔וֹ SDBH His soul יִרְאֶ֥ה SDBH He will see זֶ֖רַע SDBH [His] offspring יַאֲרִ֣יךְ SDBH He will prolong יָמִ֑ים SDBH His days וְחֵ֥פֶץ SDBH and the good pleasure יְהוָ֖ה SDBH Hashem/Adonoi בְּיָד֥וֹ SDBH in His hand יִצְלָֽח׃ SDBH will prosper

Yet it pleased Hashem to bruise him; He hath put him to suffering; when Thou shalt make his nefesh an asham offering for sin, he (Moshiach) shall see zera [see Psalm 16 and Yn 1:12 OJBC], He shall prolong his yamim (days) and the chefetz Hashem (pleasure, will of Hashem) shall prosper in his [Moshiach's] hand.

11

מֵעֲמַ֤ל SDBH After the anguish נַפְשׁוֹ֙ SDBH of His soul יִרְאֶ֣ה SDBH He will see [the light of life] יִשְׂבָּ֔ע SDBH and be satisfied בְּדַעְתּ֗וֹ SDBH By His knowledge יַצְדִּ֥יק SDBH will justify צַדִּ֛יק SDBH My righteous עַבְדִּ֖י SDBH Servant לָֽרַבִּ֑ים SDBH many וַעֲוֺנֹתָ֖ם SDBH their iniquities ה֥וּא SDBH and He יִסְבֹּֽל׃ SDBH will bear

He [Hashem] shall see of the travail of his [Moshiach's] nefesh, and shall be satisfied; by knowledge of him [Moshiach] shall Tzadik Avdi [|My Righteous Servant,| Moshiach, Zecharyah 3:8, Yirmeyah 23:5; Zecharyah 6:11-12, Ezra 3:8 Yehoshua, Yeshua shmo] justify many; for he [Moshiach] shall bear their avon (iniquities). T.N. This v.11 says Yitzdak im Hashem through Moshiach

12

לָכֵ֞ן SDBH Therefore אֲחַלֶּק־ SDBH I will allot Him a portion ל֣וֹ . . . בָרַבִּ֗ים SDBH with the great וְאֶת־ SDBH with עֲצוּמִים֮ SDBH the strong יְחַלֵּ֣ק SDBH and He will divide שָׁלָל֒ SDBH the spoils תַּ֗חַת SDBH because אֲשֶׁ֨ר SDBH - הֶעֱרָ֤ה SDBH He has poured out לַמָּ֙וֶת֙ SDBH unto death נַפְשׁ֔וֹ SDBH His life וְאֶת־ SDBH with פֹּשְׁעִ֖ים SDBH the transgressors נִמְנָ֑ה SDBH and He was numbered וְהוּא֙ SDBH Yet He חֵטְא־ SDBH the sin רַבִּ֣ים SDBH of many נָשָׂ֔א SDBH bore וְלַפֹּשְׁעִ֖ים SDBH for the transgressors יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃ס SDBH and made intercession

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his nefesh unto mavet (death); and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession [did the work of a mafgi'a, intercessor] for the transgressors [see Lk 23:34 OJBC].
