MSG ^(11-12)Out of that terrible travail of soul,
  he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it.
Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant,
  will make many “righteous ones,”
  as he himself carries the burden of their sins.
Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly—
  the best of everything, the highest honors—
Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch,
  because he embraced the company of the lowest.
He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many,
  he took up the cause of all the black sheep.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) Therefore will I give him his portion among the multitudes, and he will divide the spoils with the many

(Some words not found in UHB: for=so/thus/hence allot_~_aportion to=him/it in/on/at/with,great and=DOM strong divide spoil below/instead_of which/who poured_out to_the,death life,his and=DOM transgressors numbered and=he sin many bore and,for_the,transgressors made_intercession )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. “Portion” and “spoils” refer to a king after a victorious battle sharing the plunder or rewards with his army. This means God will greatly honor his servant because of his sacrifice. (See also: figs-metaphor)

(Occurrence 0) the multitudes

Many versions interpret this expression as “the many” or “the strong.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) because he exposed himself to death

“Exposed” means to be vulnerable or unprotected. The servant of Yahweh put himself in a situation where he would die. Alternate translation: “he willingly accepted the possibility of death”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) was numbered with the transgressors

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “allowed people to treat him as a criminal”
