< Isaiah 53 >
1 Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
Onye kweere ozi anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼahụ onye ka e kpugheere ogwe aka Onyenwe anyị?
2 For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
Nʼihi na o tolitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka ome, dịka mgbọrọgwụ nke puputara nʼala kpọrọ nkụ. O nweghị ụdịdị ọma maọbụ ịma mma nke ga-eme ka anyị lee ya anya. O nweghị ihe ọbụla dị nʼụdịdị ya nke ga-eme ka ihe banyere ya masị anyị, maọbụ mee ka anyị chọsie ya ike.
3 Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
Ndị mmadụ ledara ya anya, jụkwa ya. Ọ bụ onye nwere ọtụtụ ihe mgbu, bụrụkwa onye hụrụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ. Ma anyị gbakụtara ya azụ, jụ ilenye anya nʼebe ọ nọ. E, anyị ledara ya anya, jụ ịgụ ya dịka ọ bụ ihe ọbụla.
4 But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
Nʼezie, ihe mgbu niile anyị ka o buuru, burukwa ahụhụ nke ọrịa anyị niile, ma anyị gụrụ ya ka onye Chineke tara ahụhụ, onye o tiri ihe otiti, na onye o mekpara ahụ.
5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
Ma e tipụrụ ya ọnya nʼihi mmehie anyị: ọ bụkwa nʼihi ajọ omume anyị ka e ji merụchaa ya ahụ. E mere ka anyị nwee udo nʼihi ahụhụ ọ hụrụ; ọ bụkwa ubiri ụtarị dị ya nʼahụ mere anyị ji bụrụ ndị ahụ dị ike.
6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
Anyị niile akpafuola dịka igwe atụrụ; onye ọbụla nʼime anyị etinyela isi ya nʼụzọ nke aka ya. Ma Onyenwe anyị ebokwasịla ya ajọ omume anyị niile.
7 Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
A kpagburu ya, mesie ya ihe ike, ma otu mkpụrụ okwu esighị ya nʼọnụ pụta. E duuru ya pụọ dịka atụrụ a na-aga igbu egbu, dịka atụrụ a na-akpachapụ ajị ya si anọ nwayọọ nʼihu ndị na-akpacha ya ajị, otu a ka o si nọdụ na-asagheghị ọnụ ya.
8 They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
Site na mmegbu na ikpe ka e ji wepụ ya. Ma, onye nʼetiti ndị ọgbọ ya weliri olu kwuo okwu? Nʼihi na e bipụrụ ya site nʼala ndị dị ndụ; maka njehie ndị m ka e ji tie ya ihe.
9 And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
E nyefere ya ka e lie ya dịka onye na-emebi iwu, ọ bụkwa nʼetiti ndị ọgaranya ka e liri ya, ọ bụ ezie na o nweghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla o mere, ọ dịkwaghị okwu aghụghọ si nʼọnụ ya pụta.
10 And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
Ma ọ bụ ọchịchọ Onyenwe anyị ịzọpịa ya, na ime ka ọ taa ahụhụ. Nʼihi na ọnwụ ya bụ aja a chụrụ nʼihi ikpe ọmụma nke mmehie. Ọ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ya; ọ ga-adịkwa ndụ ogologo oge. Nzube Chineke niile ga-emezukwa site na ya.
11 ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
Mgbe ọ hụsịrị ahụhụ, ọ ga-emesịa hụ ìhè nke ndụ, afọ ga-ejukwa ya, site nʼihe ọmụma ya, ka onye ezi omume ahụ, bụ ohu m ga-eme ka a gụọ ọtụtụ mmadụ dịka ndị ezi omume, ọ ga-ebukwa mmehie ha niile.
12 For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
Nʼihi ya, aga m enye ya oke nʼetiti ndị bara ụba, ọ ga-esokwa ndị bụ dike keta ihe nkwata nʼagha, nʼihi na ọ wụpụrụ ndụ ya nye ọnwụ, a gụkọtara ya na ndị na-emebi iwu. Ma ya onwe ya buuru mmehie ọtụtụ mmadụ, rịọọkwara ndị na-emebi iwu arịrịọ.
