Isaiah 53 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Who has aman (believe / have faith) our message? To whom has the zarawai (arm) of Yahawah () been galah (revealed)?

2 For he ilah (go up / offer) up panayam (face) him as a yawanaq (tender) plant, and as a sharash (root) out of tzayah (dry) aratz (Earth/land). He has no thaar (good) looks or hadar (glory / majesty / splendor). When we raah (see / saw) him, there is no beauty that we should chamad (desire) him.

3 He was bazah (despised), and chadal (rejected) by ayashayam (men); a ayash (man / husband) of suffering, and acquainted with chalay (disease). He was bazah (despised) as one from whom men hide their panayam (face); and we didn't respect him.

4 Akan (surely) he has nashaa (lift) our chalay (sickness), and sabal (carried) our suffering; yet we chashab (considered) him nagai (plagued), nakah (struck) by Alahayam (), and inah (oppress / afflict).

5 But he was pierced for our pashai (transgressions). He was dakaa (crushed) for our iwan (guilt/iniquity). The punishment that brought our shalawam (peace / safety) was on him; and by his chabawarah (wounds) we are rapaa (healed).

6 All we like tzaan (sheep) have thaih (gone) astray. Everyone has panah (turn) to his own darak (way); and Yahawah () has pagai (laid) on him the iwan (guilt/iniquity) of us all.

7 He was nagash (oppressed), yet when he was inah (answer / respond) he didn't pathach (open) his pah (mouth). As a shah (lamb) that is yabal (led) to the tabach (slaughter), and as a rachal (sheep) that panayam (face) its gazaz (shearers) is mute, so he didn't pathach (open) his pah (mouth).

8 He was laqach (take / seize) away by itzar (oppression) and mashapat (judgment); and as for his dawar (generation / age / period), who considered that he was gazar (cut) off out of the aratz (Earth/land) of the chay (life) and nagai (stricken) for the disobedience of my im (nation / people)?

9 They nathan (give) his qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) with the rashai (wicked), and with a ishayar (rich) man in his mawath (death); although he ishah (make) done no chamas (violence), neither was any maramah (deceit) in his pah (mouth).

10 Yet it chapatz (pleased) Yahawah () to dakaa (bruise) him. He has caused him to suffer. When you shawam (place / establish / appoint) his napash (soul) an offering for asham (sin), he shall raah (see) his zarai (seed). He shall prolong his yamayam (days), and the chapatz (pleasure) of Yahawah () shall tzalach (prosper) in his yad (hand).

11 After the suffering of his napash (soul), he will raah (see / saw) the light and be shabai (satisfied). My tzadayaq (righteous) ibad (servant) will justify many by the daith (knowledge) of himself; and he will sabal (bear) their iwan (guilt/iniquity).

12 Therefore will I chalaq (divide) him a portion with the rab (great), and he shall chalaq (divide) the shalal (spoil) with the itzawam (strong); because he irah (poured) out his napash (soul) to mawath (death), and was manah (numbered) with the transgressors; yet he nashaa (lift) the chataa (sin) of many, and pagai (made) intercession for the transgressors.
