Berean Standard Bible
11After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
The Pioneer Translation RenderingRendered from the original Hebrew
Isaiah 53:11
The Suffering Servant
Out of the anguish of his being he will see and be satisfied. By his knowledge my righteous servant will make many righteous, and their iniquities he will bear.
The Hebrew *nephesh* (נַפְשׁוֹ) is rendered "being" rather than "soul," following the Pioneer Translation's treatment of this word as the whole living person, not an immaterial component. The word *eved* (עַבְדִּי) is translated "servant," preserving the explicit servant-of-Jehovah framework central to this passage. The phrase "my righteous servant" follows the Hebrew word order (*tsaddiq avdi*), keeping the descriptor "righteous" before "servant" as the source text places it, rather than smoothing it into "my servant the righteous one."
