Yesaya 53
1 Ndani wakhulupirira zimene tanenazi; kapena ndani amene Yehova wamuzindikiritsa mphamvu zake?
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 Iye anakula ngati mphukira pamaso pake, ndiponso ngati muzu mʼnthaka yowuma. Iye analibe thupi labwino kapena nkhope yokongola yoti ife nʼkumamuchewukira, analibe maonekedwe woti ife nʼkumamukhumbira.
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him.
3 Iye ananyozedwa ndi kukanidwa ndi anthu, munthu amene moyo wake unali wamasautso, wozolowera zowawa, ndipo anali ngati munthu amene anzake amaphimba nkhope zawo akamuona. Iye ananyozedwa, ndipo ife sitinamuyese kanthu.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Ndithudi, iye anamva zowawa mʼmalo mwa ife; ndipo anasautsidwa mʼmalo mwathu. Koma ife tinkaganiza kuti ndi Mulungu amene akumulanga, kumukantha ndi kumusautsa.
Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Koma iye analasidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zathu, ndipo anamuzunza chifukwa cha zoyipa zathu; iye analangidwa kuti ife tikhale ndi mtendere, ndipo ndi mabala ake ife tinachiritsidwa.
But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
6 Ife tonse, ngati nkhosa, tasochera, aliyense mwa ife akungodziyendera; ndipo Yehova wamusenzetsa zoyipa zathu zonse.
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Anthu anamuzunza ndi kumusautsa, koma sanayankhule kanthu. Monga mwana wankhosa wopita naye kokamupha amachitira, kapena monga nkhosa imakhalira duu poyimeta, momwemonso iye sanatsekule pakamwa pake.
He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
8 Atatha kumugwira mwankhanza ndikumuyimba mlandu, kenaka anapita naye kukamupha. Ndipo ndani amene analabadirako za zidzukulu zake, poona kuti iye anachotsedwa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo? Ndani anaganizirapo poona kuti iye anakanthidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa za anthu anga?
By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
9 Anamukonzera manda ake pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi anthu achuma, ngakhale kuti iye sanachite za chiwawa, kapena kuyankhula za chinyengo.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.'
10 Komatu ndi Yehova amene anafuna kuti amuzunze ndi kumusautsa. Yehova anapereka moyo wa mtumiki wake kuti ukhale nsembe yoperekedwa chifukwa cha zolakwa. Tsono iye adzaona zidzukulu zake ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo wautali, ndipo chifuniro cha Yehova chidzachitika mwa iye.
Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:
11 Atatha mazunzo a moyo wake, adzaona kuwala, ndipo adzakhutira. Mwa nzeru zake mtumiki wanga wolungamayo adzalungamitsa anthu ambiri, popeza adzasenza zolakwa zawo.
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
12 Motero Ine ndidzamupatsa ulemu pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, adzagawana zofunkha ndi ankhondo amphamvu, popeza anapereka moyo wake mpaka kufa, ndipo anamuyika mʼgulu la anthu olakwa kuti akhululukidwe. Pakuti iye anasenza machimo a anthu ambiri, ndipo anawapempherera anthu olakwa.
Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
