Isaiah 53
1 Ka thuih o ih lok tang kami oh maw? Angraeng ih ban loe mi khaeah maw amtueng?
Who hath believed our report, And to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
2 Anih loe a hmaa ah thing tadok baktiah tacawt moe, long karoem ahmuen ah kamprawk thing tangzun baktiah oh; aicae mah koeh han koi krang tidoeh om ai; a khit o hanah kranghoihaih to om ai.
For He grew up before him like a tender plant, Like a sucker from a dry soil; He had no form, nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, Nor beauty, that we should take pleasure in him.
3 Kaminawk mah anih to patoek o, pahnawt padah o; anih loe palungsae kami, patangkhang kami ah oh; anih loe minawk mah mikhmai hawk taak ih kami baktiah oh; anih to patoek o, mi mah doeh khingyahaih a paek o ai.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with disease; As one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Anih mah ni aicae patangkhanghaih hoi palungsethaih to phawh; toe anih loe Sithaw mah danpaek ih kami, thuitaekhaih hoi bohhaih tongh kami ah a poek o lat.
But he bore our diseases, And carried our pains, And we esteemed him stricken from above, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Toe anih loe aicae zaehaih pongah ahmaa caak moe, aicae sakpazaehaih pongah nganbawh kana a hak; aicae ngan amdinghaih ah kaom thuitaekhaih loe anih nuiah phak, anih bohhaih mah aicae han ngantuisak.
But he was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; For our peace was the chastisement upon him, And by his stripes are we healed.
6 Aicae loe tuu baktiah loklam amkhraeng o boih boeh; kami boih mah angmah ih loklam ah caeh o boeh pongah, Angraeng mah aicae zaehaih to anih nuiah amtik.
All we, like sheep, were going astray; We turned every one to his own way, And Jehovah laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
7 Anih loe pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah patangkhang, toe anih loe pakha aang ai; anih loe hum han ih tuucaa baktiah caeh o haih, tuumui aatkung hmaa ah kangam duem tuu baktiah, anih loe pakha to aang ai.
He was oppressed, that was already afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth; As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, He opened not his mouth.
8 Toenghaih hoiah lokcaekhaih om ai ah, anih to thongim hoi lokcaekhaih ahmuen hoiah caeh o haih ving; anih to kahing kaminawk ih prae thung hoiah hum o pongah, anih ih acaengnawk to mi mah maw thui tih? Kai ih kaminawk zaehaih pongah anih to boh o.
By oppression and punishment he was taken away, And who in his generation would consider That he was cut off from the land of the living, That for the transgression of my people he was smitten?
9 Anih loe zaehaih sah ai, pakha ah alinghaih om ai; toe anih to kazae kaminawk ih taprong ah aphum o moe, a duek naah angraengnawk hoi nawnto aphum o.
His grave was appointed with the wicked, And with the rich man was his sepulchre, Although he had done no injustice, And there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Anih to patangkhangsak moe, nganbawh kana paekhaih loe Angraeng koehhaih ah oh; zae angbawn haih hanah a hinghaih na paeksak pacoengah, anih mah angmah ih acaengnawk to hnu tih; hinglung doeh sawk tih; a ban mah Angraeng koehhaih to sah tih.
It pleased Jehovah severely to bruise him; But when he hath made his life a sacrifice for sin, He shall see posterity; he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
11 A hing patangkhanghaih atho to hnuk naah, anih mah poeknawmhaih to tawn tih boeh; anih mah nihcae zaehaih to phaw pae pongah, katoeng ka tamna to panoekhaih rang hoiah anih mah pop parai kaminawk to toenghaih paek tih.
Free from his sorrows, he shall see and be satisfied; By his knowledge shall my righteous servant lead many to righteousness, And he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Anih loe duek khoek to a hinghaih paek pongah, anih to kazae kaminawk hoi nawnto kroek o hmaek; anih mah pop parai kaminawk ih zaehaih to a phawh, kazae kaminawk hanah lawk a thuih pae pongah, kalen kaminawk hoi nawnto tangqum ka paek han, anih mah lak ih hmuen to thacak kaminawk hoi nawnto amzet o tih.
Therefore will I give him his portion with the mighty, And with heroes shall he divide the spoil, Because he poured out his soul unto death, And was numbered with transgressors; Because he bore the sin of many, And made intercession for transgressors.
