< Isaiah 53 >
1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
Ndani wakhulupirira zimene tanenazi; kapena ndani amene Yehova wamuzindikiritsa mphamvu zake?
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.
Iye anakula ngati mphukira pamaso pake, ndiponso ngati muzu mʼnthaka yowuma. Iye analibe thupi labwino kapena nkhope yokongola yoti ife nʼkumamuchewukira, analibe maonekedwe woti ife nʼkumamukhumbira.
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.
Iye ananyozedwa ndi kukanidwa ndi anthu, munthu amene moyo wake unali wamasautso, wozolowera zowawa, ndipo anali ngati munthu amene anzake amaphimba nkhope zawo akamuona. Iye ananyozedwa, ndipo ife sitinamuyese kanthu.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
Ndithudi, iye anamva zowawa mʼmalo mwa ife; ndipo anasautsidwa mʼmalo mwathu. Koma ife tinkaganiza kuti ndi Mulungu amene akumulanga, kumukantha ndi kumusautsa.
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.
Koma iye analasidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zathu, ndipo anamuzunza chifukwa cha zoyipa zathu; iye analangidwa kuti ife tikhale ndi mtendere, ndipo ndi mabala ake ife tinachiritsidwa.
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.
Ife tonse, ngati nkhosa, tasochera, aliyense mwa ife akungodziyendera; ndipo Yehova wamusenzetsa zoyipa zathu zonse.
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.
Anthu anamuzunza ndi kumusautsa, koma sanayankhule kanthu. Monga mwana wankhosa wopita naye kokamupha amachitira, kapena monga nkhosa imakhalira duu poyimeta, momwemonso iye sanatsekule pakamwa pake.
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?
Atatha kumugwira mwankhanza ndikumuyimba mlandu, kenaka anapita naye kukamupha. Ndipo ndani amene analabadirako za zidzukulu zake, poona kuti iye anachotsedwa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo? Ndani anaganizirapo poona kuti iye anakanthidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa za anthu anga?
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.
Anamukonzera manda ake pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi anthu achuma, ngakhale kuti iye sanachite za chiwawa, kapena kuyankhula za chinyengo.
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.
Komatu ndi Yehova amene anafuna kuti amuzunze ndi kumusautsa. Yehova anapereka moyo wa mtumiki wake kuti ukhale nsembe yoperekedwa chifukwa cha zolakwa. Tsono iye adzaona zidzukulu zake ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo wautali, ndipo chifuniro cha Yehova chidzachitika mwa iye.
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.
Atatha mazunzo a moyo wake, adzaona kuwala, ndipo adzakhutira. Mwa nzeru zake mtumiki wanga wolungamayo adzalungamitsa anthu ambiri, popeza adzasenza zolakwa zawo.
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.
Motero Ine ndidzamupatsa ulemu pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, adzagawana zofunkha ndi ankhondo amphamvu, popeza anapereka moyo wake mpaka kufa, ndipo anamuyika mʼgulu la anthu olakwa kuti akhululukidwe. Pakuti iye anasenza machimo a anthu ambiri, ndipo anawapempherera anthu olakwa.
