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]
Ia ty hiantoke ty taro’ay? naboak’ ama’ia ty fità’ Iehovà?
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.
Ie nitiry añatrefa’e eo hoe toran-katae, hoe vahatse an-tane maike. Ie tsy naràm-bintañe tsy amañ’asiñe te nisambà’ay; tsy ni-soa-vintañe hahasinda anay.
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.
Nisirikaeñe, nitorifiha’ ondaty, lahilahy nalovilovy, nahafohim-pandalàñe, hoe itakonan-tarehe; nimavoeñe vaho tsy nañaoñe Aze tikañe.
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].
Toe nivavè’e o haorean-tikañeo, nendese’e o hasilofan-tikañeo; fa nataon-tika t’ie vinango, linafan’Añahare, nisilofeñe.
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.
O fiolàn-tikañeo ty nandratañe aze, o tahin-tikañeo ty nandemohañe aze; tama’e ty fandilovañe ninday fanintsiñañe aman-tikañe; o fere’eo ro mahajangañ’antika.
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.
Songa nandrike hoe añondry sindre nitsile amy lia’ey; fonga nampivavè’ Iehovà aze o hakeon-tikañeo.
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].
Niforekekeñe naho nampiambaneñe, f’ie tsy nanoka-palie; hoe anak’añondry tantalieñe ho lentaeñe, hambañe ami’ty fitsìn’añondry añatrefa’ o mpañitsikeo, t’ie tsy nanoka-palie.
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.
Fiforeforeañe naho zaka ty naneseañe aze; Ia ty ho nahafitoky ty loak’andro’e kanao naitoañe an-tanen-kaveloñe; ie pinaoke ty amo fiolà’ ondatikoo.
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.
Nampindrezeñe amo tsereheñeo ty kibori’e, vaho niharoe’e havilasy o mpañalealeo, amy t’ie tsy nijoy, vaho tsy tam-palie’e ao ty famañahiañe.
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.
F’ie ninò’ Iehovà ty handemoke aze naho ty haniloke aze, aa ie nañenga ty fiai’e ho efe-tahiñe, le hahavazoho tariratse, naho hitompeañ’andro, vaho hiraorao am-pità’e o satrin’ arofo’ Iehovào.
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.
Ho isa’e ty vokam-paloviloviam-piai’e le hanintsiñe; ty hilala’ i mpitoroko vantañey ro hañavantañe ty maro; ie ty mivave o tahi’ iareoo.
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].
Aa le hitolorako tambe añivo’ o manjofakeo, le handivà’e amo fanalolahio i nikopaheñey, amy te nadoa’e an-kavilasy ty fiai’e, naho vinolily amo mpanan-kakeoo, nilogologoe’e ty tahi’ o maroo, vaho jineba’e o manan-tahiñeo.
