Liber Isaiae

Isaiae, chapter 53, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 53 Vulgate

   1 "Quis credidit auditui nostro, et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
   2 Et ascendit sicut virgultum coram eo et sicut radix de terra sitienti. Non erat species ei neque decor, ut aspiceremus eum, et non erat aspectus, ut desideraremus eum.
   3 Despectus erat et novissimus virorum, vir dolorum et sciens infirmitatem, et quasi abscondebamus vultum coram eo; despectus, unde nec reputabamus eum.
   4 Vere languores nostros ipse tulit et dolores nostros ipse portavit; et nos putavimus eum quasi plagatum, percussum a Deo et humiliatum.
   5 Ipse autem vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras, attritus est propter scelera nostra; disciplina pacis nostrae super eum, et livore eius sanati sumus.
   6 Omnes nos quasi oves erravimus, unusquisque in viam suam declinavit; et posuit Dominus in eo iniquitatem omnium nostrum".
   7 Afflictus est et ipse subiecit se et non aperuit os suum; sicut agnus, qui ad occisionem ducitur, et quasi ovis, quae coram tondentibus se obmutuit et non aperuit os suum.
   8 Angustia et iudicio sublatus est. De generatione eius quis curabit? Quia abscissus est de terra viventium; propter scelus populi mei percussus est ad mortem.
   9 Et posuerunt sepulcrum eius cum impiis, cum divitibus tumulum eius, eo quod iniquitatem non fecerit, neque dolus fuerit in ore eius.
   10 Et Dominus voluit conterere eum infirmitate. Si posuerit in piaculum animam suam, videbit semen longaevum, et voluntas Domini in manu eius prosperabitur.
   11 Propter laborem animae eius videbit lucem, saturabitur in scientia sua. Iustificabit iustus servus meus multos et iniquitates eorum ipse portabit.
   12 Ideo dispertiam ei multos, et cum fortibus dividet spolia, pro eo quod tradidit in mortem animam suam et cum sceleratis reputatus est; et ipse peccatum multorum tulit et pro transgressoribus rogat.

King James Version

   1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
   2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root 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 him.
   3 He is 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 esteemed him not.
   4 ¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
   5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
   6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
   7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
   8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
   9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
   10 ¶ Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
   11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
   12 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 soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
