< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
Ko wai i whakapono ki ta matou korero; i whakaaturia ranei ki a wai te ringaringa o Ihowa?
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Ka tupu ake hoki ia ki tona aroaro, ano he rakau wana, me te pakiaka hoki i te oneone maroke, kahore ona ahuareka, kahore hoki he pai; a ka titiro tatou ki a ia, te ai he ataahua e minamina ai tatou ki a ia.
3 He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
I whakahengia, i whakakahoretia ia e te tangata; he tangata pouri, kua mohio hoki ki te tangi: a, i ahua huna nga kanohi ki a ia; i whakakahoretia, kihai hoki tatou i whakaaro ki a ia.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
He pono, nana o tatou mate i pikau, nana hoki i waha o tatou pouri: ko tatou ia i mea, i tukitukia, i patua ia e te Atua, i whakawhiua.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Kahore, i werohia ia mo o tatou he, i kurua mo o tatou kino: nona te whiunga i mau ai to tatou rongo, kei ona karawarawa hoki he rongoa mo tatou.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Ko tatou katoa, ano he hipi, kua marara ke, kua anga atu tatou ki tona ara, ki tona ara; na Ihowa ia i mea kia tau iho ki a ia te kino o tatou katoa.
7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
I tukinotia ia, i whakawhiua; heoi kihai i kuihi tona mangai: ano he reme i arahina ia kia patua, me te hipi hoki i te aroaro o ona kaikutikuti e wahangu ana, kihai i kuihi tona waha.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?
Na te tukino, na te whakawa, tangohia atu ana ia; tena ko tona whakatupuranga, ko wai o ratou i whakaaro kua wehea atu ia i te ao ora? he mahi he hoki na taku iwi i patua ai ia.
9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
A ka whakaritea hei te hunga kino he urupa mona; i te tangata taonga ia i tona matenga; ahakoa kahore ana mahi tutu, kahore ano he tinihanga i tona mangai.
10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
Otiia i pai hoki a Ihowa kia kurua ia; nana ia i mea kia mamae. Ina meinga e koe tona wairua hei whakahere mo te he, ka kite ia i tona uri, ka whakaroa i ona ra, a ko ta Ihowa i pai ai ka ata oti i a ia.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
Ka kite ia i ta tona wairua i uaua ai, a tatu ana te ngakau: ma te mohio ki a ia ka whakatikaia ai te tini e taku pononga tika; mana hoki o ratou kino e waha.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he wahi mona i roto i o te hunga nui, a ka tu ngatahi ia me te hunga kaha i te taonga: mo tona wairua i ringihia e ia ki te mate, a i taua ngatahitia me nga poka ke; nana hoki nga hara o te tini i waha, nana i wawao nga poka ke.
