< Isaiah 53 >

1 (Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
Mwet uh topuk, “Ku su lukun ku in lulalfongi ma kut srumun inge? Su ac ku in liye poun LEUM GOD in ma inge?
2 While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
Ma lungse lun LEUM GOD pa inge, tuh mwet kulansap lal In kapak oana soko sak fusr ma yoki ac okahla in acn pao. El tia mangol ac el tia pac kato. Wanginna ma ac oru kut in lohang nu sel. Wangin ma wo kacl, ku ma fal in pwen mutasr nu sel. Wangin ma oru kut in ke apkuran nu yorol.
3 People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
Kut srungal ac sisella. El mutangla keok ac waiok. Wanginna mwet ngetang nu sel. Kut pilesral ac tiana lohang nu sel.
4 But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
“A el mutangla keok su fal in orek nu sesr, Ac waiok su ac ma lasr. Ke orek ouinge nu sel, kut pangon mu Mwe keok inge kaiyuk lun God nu sel.
5 But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
A kanteyuki el ke sripen ma koluk lasr, Sringsring el ke ma koluk kut orala. Kut kwela ke sripen kalya ma el keok kac, Akwoyeyukla kut ke sringsring ma el eis.
6 All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
Kut nukewa oana sheep tuhlac, Kais sie sesr fahsr ke inkanek lal sifacna. A LEUM GOD El filiya facl Kaiyuk su fal in ma nu sesr nukewa.
7 He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
“Orek El arulana koluk, a el pusisel in mutangla; El tiana fahkla sie kas. Oana soko sheep fusr ma akola in anwuki, Oana soko sheep ma kokola in kalkulla, El tiana fahkla sie kas.
8 After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
Elos sruokilya, ac nununkal, ac kololla nu ke misa, A wangin sie lohang nu ke ongoiya lal. Anwuki el ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet lasr.
9 Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
Filiyuki el in sie kulyuk yurin mwet koluk, El pukpuki inmasrlon mwet kasrup, El ne tia orala kutena ma koluk, Ku fahkla sie kas kikiap.”
10 But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oakwuk luk pa elan keok; Misa lal uh sie mwe kisa in ase nunak munas. Ouinge el fah liye fwilin tulik natul; Ac fah loes moul lal, Ac ke sripal, oakwuk luk fah orekla.
11 When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
Tukun sie moul na keok, el fah sifil insewowo; El fah etu lah el tia keok ke wangin. Mwet kulansap oaru luk, su nga insewowo kacl Fah polong kalyeiyuk lun mwet puspis, Ac ke sripal nga fah nunak munas nu selos.
12 So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
Ouinge nga fah arulana akfulatyal, Ac sang acn sel inmasrlon mwet fulat ac ku. El sifacna asang moul lal Ac ipeis ke mwe ongoiya lun mwet koluk. El eis acn sin mwet koluk puspis, Ac el pre tuh in nunak munas nu selos.”
