Isaiah 53
1 Maimouh ni pathang awh e lawk heh apinimaw a yuem. BAWIPA kut teh api koe maw a kamnue.
YHWH, who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of YHWH been revealed?
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmalah talai hoi cati kapaw e patetlah ama teh, a paw. Ama ka hmu awh teh, ka ngai awh nahanelah, a meihawinae banghai tawn hoeh. Ngai kawi e minhmai awm hoeh.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nor special appearance that we should desire him.
3 Ama teh taminaw e dudam hoi pahnawt e lah ao. Reithainae ka tawn e hoi patawnae ka panuek e lah ao. Tami ni a minhmai a thung takhai e patetlah taminaw ni a dudam e lah ao teh, kaimouh ni hai banglah ka noutna van hoeh.
He was despised, and rejected by people; a man of sorrows, and familiar with illness; and as one from whom people hide their face. He was despised, and we did not value him.
4 Ama ni ka patawnae hah a phu. Ka lungmathoenae hai a phu. Hatei, kaimouh ni, lungmathoenae ni na pha sin e hoi, Cathut ni na hemnae patawnae na poe e lah ka pouk awh.
Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains; yet we considered him stricken, and struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 Hatei, kaimouh ni kâlawk ka ek awh kecu dawkvah pacekpahleknae hoi, ka yonae kecu dawkvah hemnae a khang. Ka lungmawng awh nahanelah yuenae teh amae tak dawk a pha sak teh, a hemnae hmâ dawk hoi ka dam awh.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
6 Tu patetlah kahma awh teh, lamthung lengkaleng ka phen awh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ka yonnae naw hah amae a tak dawk a patue.
We all like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and YHWH has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Ama teh repcoungroe e lah ao ei, lawkkamuem lah ao. Thei hanelah a ceikhai awh e tuca patetlah a muen ngaw pouh nah duem kaawm e tuca patetlah ao teh, a pahni hai a cakuep.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
8 Ama teh thongim thung hoi lawkcengnae lahoi a ceikhai awh. Apini maw a catoun hah a hram khai han. Kahringnaw e ram thung hoi ahni teh takhoe lah ao teh, ka taminaw ni kâ tapoenae kecu dawk ahni teh hem lah ao.
In his oppression his justice was taken away. Who will consider his generation? For his life was cut off from the earth. For the transgression of my people he was led to death.
9 Payonnae sak boihoeh. Pahni dawk hoi dumyennae laithoe dei boihoeh. Hatei, a tangkom teh tamikahawihoehnaw koe rei pakawp hanelah a pouk awh. Hatei, a due hnukkhu hoi bawitangrengnaw koe ao.
And they assigned his grave with the wicked, yet with the rich at his death, though he had committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.
10 Hateiteh, ama a hemnae teh BAWIPA ngainae doeh. Patawnae hah a poe katang teh, a hringnae teh yon thuengnae dawk hno toteh, ca catounnaw a hmu vaiteh, a hringnae hnin hah a saw sak han. BAWIPA ngainae teh a kut dawk a kuep sak han.
Yet YHWH was pleased to crush him and make him ill. Although his soul is made a reparation offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the desire of YHWH will succeed by his hand.
11 A hringnae tawkphu a hmu vaiteh, a lung a kuep han toe. Ka lan e ka san hah panuenae lahoi, ahni ni tamikapap hah lannae dawk a caksak han. Ahnimae yonnaw hah a phu pouh han.
After the suffering of his soul he will see light and be satisfied by his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, will make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Hatdawkvah, ama teh tami kalennaw ham ka rei han. Ahni ni a la e hnopainaw hah, athakaawme taminaw a rei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hringnae teh, a due totouh a rabawk teh, kâlawk ka ek naw koe hmai touksin lah ao. Tami moikapap e yonnae hah a phu teh kâlawk kaeknaw hanlah a kâhei pouh.
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and he was numbered with transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions.
