1Who hath believed our report?
And to whom is the Zero'a Hashem 158revealed?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant,
and as a Shoresh (Root, Shoresh Yishai, Moshiach Ben Dovid) 159out of a dry ground;
he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire 160him.
3He 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.
4Surely he hath borne our sufferings,
and nasah (carried) 161our sorrows;
yet we did esteem him stricken, 162
smitten of G-d, 163and afflicted.
5But he was pierced 164for our transgressions,
he was bruised mei'avonoteinu (for our iniquities);
the musar (chastisement) that brought us shalom 165was upon him [Moshiach];
and at the cost of his [Moshiachʼs] chaburah (stripes, lacerations) we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own derech 166(way);
and Hashem hath laid on him 167
the avon (iniquity, the guilt that separates from G-d) of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
he is brought as a seh 168(lamb) to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,
so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from judgment;
and who of his generation declared?
For he was cut off 169out of Eretz Chayyim 170
mipesha ami (for the transgression of my people [Yisroel]),
nega 171(plague) lamo ([fell] on him). 172
9And he made his kever (grave) with the resha'im,
and with the oisher 173(rich man) 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. 174
10Yet 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, 175
He shall prolong his yamim (days)
and the chefetz Hashem(pleasure, will of Hashem) shall prosper in his 176hand.
11He 177shall see of the travail of his 178nefesh, and shall be satisfied;
by knowledge of him 179
shall Tzadik Avdi (My Righteous Servant) 180justify many; 181
for he 182shall bear their avon (iniquities).
12Therefore 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 nasah 183(bore) [like the Yom Kippur scapegoat] the sin of many,
and made intercession 184for the transgressors. 185
