Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
Hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka no adie, na Awurade abasa no, hwan so na ada adie?
2 And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him:
Ɔnyinii wɔ nʼanim te sɛ dua mono ketewa bi, te sɛ nhini a ɛfiri asase wesee mu. Ɔnni ahoɔfɛ anaa animuonyam a ɛbɛtwetwe yɛn akɔ ne nkyɛn. Na biribiara nni ne ho ɛbɛma yɛn ani agye ne ho.
3 Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not.
Nnipa bɔɔ no ahohora na wɔpoo no, Ɔwerɛhoni a ɔnim ɔyea. Yɛdanee yɛn ani a yɛanhwɛ no mpo; wɔbuu no animtiaa na yɛn nso, yɛammu no.
4 Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted.
Ampa ara ɔfaa yɛn mmerɛyɛ, na ɔsoaa yɛn awerɛhoɔ, nanso yɛbuu no sɛ Onyankopɔn na watwe nʼaso. Yebuu no sɛ Onyankopɔn na wabɔ no na wadwerɛ no.
5 But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.
Nanso, yɛn mmarato enti na wɔpiraa noɔ, yɛn amumuyɛ enti na wɔdwerɛɛ no; asotwe a ɛde asomdwoeɛ brɛɛ yɛn no daa no so, na nʼapirakuro mu na yɛnya ayaresa.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Yɛn nyinaa ayera yera te sɛ nnwan, yɛn mu biara afa ne kwan; na Awurade de yɛn nyinaa amumuyɛ asoa.
7 He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth.
Wɔhyɛɛ no so, yɛɛ no aniɛyaa, nanso wammue nʼano; wɔde no kɔɔeɛ te sɛ odwammaa a wɔrekɔku no. Sɛdeɛ odwammaa yɛ dinn wɔ ne nwitwitwafoɔ anim no, saa ara na wammue nʼano.
8 He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.
Wɔnam nhyɛsoɔ ne atemmuo so faa no kɔɔeɛ. Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi aka nʼasefoɔ ho asɛm? Ɛfiri sɛ wɔyii no firii asase yi so; me nkurɔfoɔ mmarato enti, wɔtwee nʼaso.
9 And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.
Wɔyɛɛ ne damena wɔ abɔnefoɔ mu, na ne wuo mu, wɔde no too adefoɔ mu ɛwom sɛ wanyɛ akakabensɛm biara, na obiara ante atorɔsɛm biara amfiri nʼano.
10 And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.
Nanso ɛyɛɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔbɛdwerɛ no ama no ahunu amane. Mpo ɔde ne nkwa ayɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɔbɛhunu nʼasefoɔ na ne nna bɛware, na Awurade pɛ bɛkɔ so wɔ ne nsam.
11 Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.
Ne kra amanehunu akyi, ɔbɛhunu nkwa hann, na ne bo atɔ ne yam; na ne suahunu mu, me ɔsomfoɔ teneneeni no bɛbu bebree bem, na wasoa wɔn amumuyɛ.
12 Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.
Enti mɛma no kyɛfa wɔ akɛsefoɔ mu, na ɔne ahoɔdenfoɔ bɛkyɛ asadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ ɔde ne nkwa too hɔ maa owuo, na wɔkan no fraa mmaratofoɔ. Ɔsoaa nnipa bebree bɔne, na ɔdi maa mmaratofoɔ.
