10 But [a]Yahweh was pleased
To (A)crush Him, [b](B)putting Him to grief;
If You would place His soul as a guilt (C)offering,
He will see (D)His seed,
He will prolong His days,
And the [c]good (E)pleasure of Yahweh will succeed in His hand.
11 As a result of the [d]anguish of His soul,
He will (F)see [e]it and be satisfied;
By His (G)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will [f]justify the many,
As He will (H)bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will divide for Him a (I)portion with the many,
And He will divide the spoil with the strong;
Because He poured out (J)His soul to death,
And was (K)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself [g](L)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him
    and cause him grief.
Yet when his life is made an offering for sin,
    he will have many descendants.
He will enjoy a long life,
    and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.
11 When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
    he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
    my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
    for he will bear all their sins.
12 I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier,
    because he exposed himself to death.
He was counted among the rebels.
    He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.
