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.

(Some words not found in UHB: out_of,anguish soul,his he/it_will_see satisfied in/on/at/with,knowledge,his justify law-abiding/just servant,my to_the,many and,iniquities,their he/it bear )

Here “his life” refers to the servant. Alternate translation: “After the servant has suffered”

(Some words not found in UHB: out_of,anguish soul,his he/it_will_see satisfied in/on/at/with,knowledge,his justify law-abiding/just servant,my to_the,many and,iniquities,their he/it bear )

Many versions understand “light” here to stand for life. That is, the servant will become alive again.

(Occurrence 0) My righteous servant

(Some words not found in UHB: out_of,anguish soul,his he/it_will_see satisfied in/on/at/with,knowledge,his justify law-abiding/just servant,my to_the,many and,iniquities,their he/it bear )

The word “bear” means carry. This could mean: (1) “their iniquities” is a metonym representing the punishment for their sins. Alternate translation: “he will take their punishment” or “he will be punished for their sins” * or (2) “their iniquities” is a metonym representing their guilt. Alternate translation: “he will take their guilt upon himself” or “he will be guilty for their sins”
