Who can believe what we have heard, and for whose sake has the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)’s arm (Power) been revealed?

Jesus of Nazareth grew up like a young plant before us,
    like a root from dry ground.

Jesus of Nazareth possessed no splendid form for us to see,
    no desirable appearance.

Jesus of Nazareth was despised and avoided by others; a man who suffered, who knew sickness well. Like someone from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we didn’t think about him.

It was certainly our sickness that he carried, and our sufferings that he bore,
but we thought him afflicted, struck down by YHVH (YEHOVAH) Almighty and tormented.

Jesus of Nazareth was pierced because of our rebellions and crushed because of our crimes.

Jesus of Nazareth bore the punishment that made us whole; by his wounds we are healed. Like sheep we had all wandered away, each going its own way, but the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) let fall on him all our crimes.

Jesus of Nazareth was oppressed and tormented, but didn’t open his mouth.Like a lamb being brought to slaughter, like a ewe silent before her shearers, he didn’t open his mouth.

Due to an unjust ruling he was taken away, and his fate—who will think about it?

Jesus of Nazareth was eliminated from the land of the living, struck dead because of my people’s rebellion.

    His grave was among the wicked,
    his tomb with evildoers,
    though he had done no violence,
    and had spoken nothing false.

But the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) wanted to crush him and to make him suffer. If his life is offered as restitution, he will see his offspring; 

Jesus of Nazareth will enjoy long life.
    The Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH)’s plans will come to fruition through him.

After his deep anguish he will see light, and he will be satisfied. Through his knowledge, the righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and will bear their guilt.

Therefore, I (YHVH) will give him a share with the great,

    and he (Jesus of Nazareth) will divide the spoil with the strong,

    in return for exposing his life to death

    and being numbered with rebels,

though he carried the sin of many and pleaded on behalf of those who rebelled!

Isaiah 53

Jesus of Nazareth Paid the Price of our ransom!

Who has believed our report?

    And to whom has the arm of the Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) 

been revealed?

For he grew up before Him 

as a tender plant

    and as a root out of a dry ground.

He has no form or majesty that we should look upon him

    nor appearance that 

we should desire him.

He was 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 did not esteem him.

Surely he has borne our grief

    and carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed him stricken,

    smitten of Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH), and afflicted.

But he was wounded 

for our transgressions,

    he was bruised 

for our iniquities (sin);

the chastisement of our peace

 was upon him,

    and by his stripes we are healed.

All of us like sheep 

have gone astray;

    each of us has turned to 

his own way,

but the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH)

 has laid on him 

the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted,

    yet he opened not his mouth;

he was brought as 

a lamb to the slaughter,

    and as a sheep before 

its shearers is silent,

    so he opened not his mouth.

 

By oppression and judgment 

he was taken away,

    and who will declare 

his generation?

For he was cut off out of 

the land of the living;

    for the transgression of 

my people he was struck.

His grave was assigned 

with the wicked,

    yet with the rich in his death,

because he had done 

no violence,

    nor was any deceit in 

his mouth.

Yet it pleased the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH) to bruise him; 

Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) has put him to grief.

    If he made himself as 

an offering for sin,

he shall see his offspring, 

he shall prolong his days,

    and the good pleasure of 

the Almighty 

YHVH (YEHOVAH) will prosper 

in his hand.

He will see of the anguish of 

his souland be satisfied.

By his knowledge My righteous servant shall justify the many,

    for he shall bear their iniquities.

Almighty YHVH (YEHOVAH) said,

"Therefore, I will divide him a portion

 with the great,

    and he shall divide the spoil 

with the strong,

because he poured out 

his soul to death,

    and he was numbered 

with the transgressors,

thus he bore the sin of many

    and made intercession 

for the transgressors.

Isaiah 53
