Isaiah 53
1 Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?
Hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka no adie, na Awurade abasa no, hwan so na ada adie?
2 Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.
Ɔnyinii wɔ nʼanim te sɛ dua mono ketewa bi, te sɛ nhini a ɛfiri asase wesee mu. Ɔnni ahoɔfɛ anaa animuonyam a ɛbɛtwetwe yɛn akɔ ne nkyɛn. Na biribiara nni ne ho ɛbɛma yɛn ani agye ne ho.
3 He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
Nnipa bɔɔ no ahohora na wɔpoo no, Ɔwerɛhoni a ɔnim ɔyea. Yɛdanee yɛn ani a yɛanhwɛ no mpo; wɔbuu no animtiaa na yɛn nso, yɛammu no.
4 Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
Ampa ara ɔfaa yɛn mmerɛyɛ, na ɔsoaa yɛn awerɛhoɔ, nanso yɛbuu no sɛ Onyankopɔn na watwe nʼaso. Yebuu no sɛ Onyankopɔn na wabɔ no na wadwerɛ no.
5 And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.
Nanso, yɛn mmarato enti na wɔpiraa noɔ, yɛn amumuyɛ enti na wɔdwerɛɛ no; asotwe a ɛde asomdwoeɛ brɛɛ yɛn no daa no so, na nʼapirakuro mu na yɛnya ayaresa.
6 All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.
Yɛn nyinaa ayera yera te sɛ nnwan, yɛn mu biara afa ne kwan; na Awurade de yɛn nyinaa amumuyɛ asoa.
7 It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth.
Wɔhyɛɛ no so, yɛɛ no aniɛyaa, nanso wammue nʼano; wɔde no kɔɔeɛ te sɛ odwammaa a wɔrekɔku no. Sɛdeɛ odwammaa yɛ dinn wɔ ne nwitwitwafoɔ anim no, saa ara na wammue nʼano.
8 By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,
Wɔnam nhyɛsoɔ ne atemmuo so faa no kɔɔeɛ. Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi aka nʼasefoɔ ho asɛm? Ɛfiri sɛ wɔyii no firii asase yi so; me nkurɔfoɔ mmarato enti, wɔtwee nʼaso.
9 And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor [is] deceit in his mouth.
Wɔyɛɛ ne damena wɔ abɔnefoɔ mu, na ne wuo mu, wɔde no too adefoɔ mu ɛwom sɛ wanyɛ akakabensɛm biara, na obiara ante atorɔsɛm biara amfiri nʼano.
10 And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed — he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
Nanso ɛyɛɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔbɛdwerɛ no ama no ahunu amane. Mpo ɔde ne nkwa ayɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɔbɛhunu nʼasefoɔ na ne nna bɛware, na Awurade pɛ bɛkɔ so wɔ ne nsam.
11 Of the labour of his soul he seeth — he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
Ne kra amanehunu akyi, ɔbɛhunu nkwa hann, na ne bo atɔ ne yam; na ne suahunu mu, me ɔsomfoɔ teneneeni no bɛbu bebree bem, na wasoa wɔn amumuyɛ.
12 Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
Enti mɛma no kyɛfa wɔ akɛsefoɔ mu, na ɔne ahoɔdenfoɔ bɛkyɛ asadeɛ ɛfiri sɛ ɔde ne nkwa too hɔ maa owuo, na wɔkan no fraa mmaratofoɔ. Ɔsoaa nnipa bebree bɔne, na ɔdi maa mmaratofoɔ.
