Surely (A)He has borne our [a]griefs
And carried our [b]sorrows;
Yet we [c]esteemed Him stricken,
[d]Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was (B)wounded[e] for our transgressions,
He was [f]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His (C)stripes[g] we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord [h]has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

However, he was the one who lifted up our sicknesses,
    and he carried our pain,
yet[a] we ourselves assumed him stricken,
    struck down by God and afflicted.
But[b] he was pierced[c] because of our transgressions,
    crushed because of our iniquities;
the chastisement for[d] our peace[e] was upon him,
    and by his wounds[f] we were healed.[g]
All of us have wandered about like sheep;
    we each have turned to his own way;
and Yahweh let fall on him
    the iniquity of us all.
