< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Ko hai kuo ne tui ki he ʻemau ongoongo? Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
He te ne tupu hake ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau matengofua, pea hangē ko e aka mei he kelekele mōmoa: ʻoku ʻikai ha sino lelei pe ha toulekeleka ʻiate ia, pea ka tau ka mamata kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻofoʻofa ke tau manako ai kiate ia.
3 He is despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
‌ʻOku fehiʻanekina ia pea liʻaki ʻe he tangata; ko e tangata ʻoe ngaahi mamahi, pea maheni ai mo e loto mamahi: pea hangē naʻa tau fufū hotau mata meiate ia; kuo manuki ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te tau tokanga kiate ia.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
Ko e moʻoni kuo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi vaivai, ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahi: ka naʻa tau mahalo kuo tautea mo taaʻi ia mei he ʻOtua, pea mamahiʻia.
5 But he [was] wounded for our transgression, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Ka naʻe lavea ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, naʻe fakavolu ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi hia: naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tautea koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie; pea ʻi hono ngaahi tā ʻoku tau moʻui ai.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Kuo tau hē kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi; kuo tau afe taki taha kotoa pē ki hono hala; pea kuo hilifaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻatautolu kotoa pē.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
Naʻe fakamālohia, pea naʻe mamahi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mafaʻa hono fofonga: ʻoku tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e lami ke tāmateʻi, pea hangē ko e sipi ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi, pea naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off from the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Naʻe ʻave ia mei he fale fakapōpula, pea mei he fakamaau: pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga? He naʻe tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui: naʻe teʻia ia koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku kakai.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death: because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth.
Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni hono tanuʻanga mo e kakai angahala, pea fakataha mo e maʻumeʻa ʻi heʻene pekia; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne fai kovi, pea naʻe ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono fofonga.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Ka naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakavolu ia; kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae mamahi: ʻoka ke ka ngaohi hono laumālie ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e hia, te ne mamata ki hono hako, te ne fakatolotolonga hono ngaahi ʻaho, pea ko e finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻe monūʻia ia ʻi hono nima.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
He te ne vakai ki he fua ʻoe mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie, pea fiemālie ai ia: ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki māʻoniʻoni ʻae tokolahi; he te ne fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
12 Therefore I will divide to him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul to death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Ko ia te u vaheʻi kiate ia ha ʻinasi fakataha mo e kakai ongoongo, pea te ne vahevahe ʻae koloa fakataha mo e kakai mālohi; koeʻuhi naʻa ne lilingi hono laumālie ki he mate: pea naʻe lau ia fakataha mo e kau angahala; pea naʻa ne fua ʻae hia ʻoe toko lahi, pea ne hūfekina ʻae kakai angahala.
