Isaiah 53
1 'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Ame kae xɔ miaƒe gbedeasi la dzi se, eye ame ka ŋue woɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe alɔ fia ɖo?
2 For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in him.
Edze abe atilɔ fɛ̃ ene le eŋkume, eye wòle abe ke si woɖe le anyigba ƒuƒu me la ene. Nyonyo alo fianyenye mele eŋu ne eƒe nu nanyo mia ŋu o. Naneke mele eƒe dzedzeme ŋu si awɔe be wòadzro mí o.
3 He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Amewo do vloe, eye wogbee. Ŋutsu si dzi vevesese kple fukpekpe le la wònye. Ele abe ame si ta amewo tsɔ nu tsyɔ ŋkume ɖo la ene. Wodo vloe, eye míebui ɖe naneke me o.
4 Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Ke le nyateƒe me la, eyae tsɔ míaƒe dɔlélewo, eye wòde ta míaƒe vevesesewo te, gake míebui abe ame si Mawu ƒo, eye wòtsɔ fukpekpewo da ɖe edzi la ene.
5 But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
Ke woƒo nu ɖee le míaƒe dzidadawo ta. Wogbãe gudugudu ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Tohehe si he ŋutifafa vɛ na mí la le eya amea dzi, eye eƒe abi siwo wòxɔ la yɔ dɔ mí.
6 All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on him the iniquity of us all.
Mí katã míetra mɔ abe alẽwo ene. Mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ; ke Yehowa tsɔ mí katã ƒe nu vɔ̃wo da ɖe eya amea dzi.
7 He was oppressed, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not his mouth.
Wotee ɖe to, eye wòkpe fu, gake meke nu o. Wokplɔe abe alẽ ene yina wuwu ge. Ezi ɖoɖoe kpoo abe alẽ si le eƒe fukolawo ŋkume la ene, eye meke nu o.
8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away, and with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
Wolée, hedrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, eye wokplɔe dzoe. Ame ka ate ŋu aƒo nu le eƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋuti? Woɖee ɖa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi. Le nye amewo ƒe dzidadawo ta woƒoe ɖo.
9 And they made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.'
Woɖe yɔdo nɛ ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dome, eye le eƒe ku me, wòmlɔ kesinɔtɔwo dome; evɔ mewɔ vɔ̃ aɖeke loo alo beble nɔ eƒe nu me o.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:
Ke enye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu be wòagbãe gudugudu, ana wòakpe fu togbɔ be Yehowa tsɔ eƒe agbe wɔ fɔɖivɔsae hã la, akpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo. Adidi eƒe ŋkekewo ɖe edzi, eye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu ava eme to eƒe asi dzi.
11 Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
Ne eƒe luʋɔ kpe fu vɔ la, akpɔ agbe ƒe kekeli, eye eƒe dzi adze eme; to enyanya me, nye dɔla dzɔdzɔe atso afia na ame geɖewo, eye wòade ta woƒe nu vɔ̃wo te,
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
eya ta mana gomekpɔkpɔe le ame ŋkutawo dome. Ama afunyinuwo kple kalẽtɔwo, elabena etsɔ eƒe agbe de ku me ke, eye wowui ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo dome ene; evɔ eyae tsɔ ame geɖewo ƒe nu vɔ̃, eye wòxɔ nya ɖe vodalawo nu.
