< Isaiah 53 >
1 Who will beleeue our report? and to whom is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
Hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka no adie, na Awurade abasa no, hwan so na ada adie?
2 But hee shall growe vp before him as a branche, and as a roote out of a dry grounde: he hath neither forme nor beautie: when we shall see him, there shall be no forme that wee should desire 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 He is despised and reiected of men: he is a man full of sorowes and hath experience of infirmities: we hidde as it were our faces from him: he was despised and 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 hee hath borne our infirmities, and caried our sorowes: yet wee did iudge him, as plagued, and smitten of God, and humbled.
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 hee was wounded for our transgressions, hee was broken for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes 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 sheepe haue gone astraye: wee haue turned euery one to his owne way, and the Lord hath layed vpon him the iniquitie of vs all.
Yɛn nyinaa ayera yera te sɛ nnwan, yɛn mu biara afa ne kwan; na Awurade de yɛn nyinaa amumuyɛ asoa.
7 Hee was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet did he not open his mouth: hee is brought as a sheepe to the slaughter, and as a sheepe before her shearer is dumme, so he openeth not 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 Hee was taken out from prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his age? for he was cut out of the lande of the liuing: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.
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 made his graue with the wicked, and with the riche in his death, though hee had done no wickednesse, neither was any deceite 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 Yet the Lord would breake him, and make him subiect to infirmities: when hee shall make his soule an offring for sinne, he shall see his seede and shall prolong his dayes, and the will of the Lord shall prosper 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 Hee shall see of the trauaile of his soule, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant iustifie many: for hee shall beare 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 giue him a portion with the great, and he shall deuide the spoyle with the strong, because hee hath powred out his soule vnto death: and he was counted with the transgressers, and he bare the sinne of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
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.
