Isaiah continues describing Yahweh's servant (Isaiah 53:1-2).

But he was pierced because of our rebellious deeds; he was crushed because of our iniquities

Alternate translation: "God allowed the enemy to stab him and kill him because of our iniquities" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)

The punishment for our peace was on him

This refers to peace with God. This can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "He accepted this punishment so we could live in harmony" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)

with his wounds we are healed

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "he healed us by his suffering of the wounds" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
