< Isaiah 53 >

1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
Nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ, nakuo guoko kwa Jehova-rĩ, kũguũrĩirio ũ?
2 For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Nĩgũkorwo ndungata ĩyo yakũrire ĩhaana ta mũtĩ mwĩthĩ, na ta mũri ũmerete kũndũ kũmũ. Ndĩarĩ kĩĩrorerwa o na kana ĩgathakara ũndũ tũngĩaguucĩrĩirio nĩyo, ĩkĩoneka-rĩ, gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩngĩatũmire tũmĩĩrirĩrie.
3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.
Ndungata ĩyo nĩyanyararirwo na ĩkĩregwo nĩ andũ, aarĩ mũndũ wa kĩeha kĩingĩ na wonete thĩĩna. O ta mũndũ ũrĩa andũ mahithaga mothiũ mao matikamuone-rĩ, aanyararirwo, na ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmũtĩĩa.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
Ti-itherũ nĩwe woire wonje witũ, na agĩkuua kĩeha giitũ; no ithuĩ twatuire nĩkũhũũrwo aahũũrĩtwo nĩ Ngai, akamũgũtha na akamũnyamaria.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
No rĩrĩ, aatihangirio nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia maitũ, o na akĩhehenjwo nĩ ũndũ wa waganu witũ; nakuo kũherithio kũrĩa gwatũmire tũgĩe na thayũ nĩwe waherithirio, na ithuĩ tũhonagio nĩ ũndũ wa nguraro ciake.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Ithuothe, nĩtũhĩtĩtie njĩra, tũgaturuura ta ngʼondu ciũrĩte, o mũndũ agathiĩ na njĩra yake mwene; nake Jehova nĩamũigĩrĩire waganu witũ ithuothe.
7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.
Nĩahinyĩrĩirio na agĩthĩĩnio, nowe ndaatumũrire kanua gake; aakirire ki o ta ũrĩa gatũrũme gakiraga gagĩthiĩ gũthĩnjwo, na o ta ũrĩa ngʼondu ĩkiraga ki ĩrĩ mbere ya mũmĩenji guoya, noguo o nake ataatumũrire kanua gake.
8 He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
Eeheririo na ũndũ wa kũhinyĩrĩrio na gũtuĩrwo ciira ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto. Ha ũhoro wa rũciaro rwake-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩaria ũhoro waruo? Nĩgũkorwo eeheririo kuuma bũrũri wa arĩa matũũraga muoyo; na nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma andũ akwa nĩkĩo aahũũrirwo.
9 They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
Rĩrĩa aakuire aigirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya andũ aaganu, o na agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya andũ arĩa itonga, o na harĩa atekĩte ũndũ mũũru, kana kanua gake gakaaria maheeni.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩonire arĩ wega amũhehenje, na agĩtũma athĩĩnĩke, na rĩrĩa Jehova agaatũma muoyo wake ũtuĩke igongona rĩa mehia-rĩ, nĩakoona rũciaro rwake, na amũingĩhĩrie matukũ make, naguo wendi wa Jehova nĩũkagaacĩra guoko-inĩ gwake.
11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
Thuutha wa ngoro yake gũthĩĩnĩka, nĩakoona uumithio wa gũthĩĩnĩka gwake, na aiganĩre; nĩ ũndũ wa ũmenyo wake, ndungata ĩyo yakwa thingu nĩĩgatũma andũ aingĩ matuĩke athingu, na nĩĩgakuua mawaganu mao, ĩmeherie.
12 Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamĩgayanĩria igai hamwe na arĩa anene, o na magayane indo cia gũtahwo na andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, tondũ nĩarutire muoyo wake akue, na agĩtaranĩrio na arĩa aagarari watho. Nĩgũkorwo nĩakuuire mehia ma andũ aingĩ, o na arĩa maahĩtĩtie akĩmathaithanĩrĩra.
