Yesaya 53
1 Ame kae xɔ miaƒe gbedeasi la dzi se, eye ame ka ŋue woɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe alɔ fia ɖo?
Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
2 Edze abe atilɔ fɛ̃ ene le eŋkume, eye wòle abe ke si woɖe le anyigba ƒuƒu me la ene. Nyonyo alo fianyenye mele eŋu ne eƒe nu nanyo mia ŋu o. Naneke mele eƒe dzedzeme ŋu si awɔe be wòadzro mí o.
For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
3 Amewo do vloe, eye wogbee. Ŋutsu si dzi vevesese kple fukpekpe le la wònye. Ele abe ame si ta amewo tsɔ nu tsyɔ ŋkume ɖo la ene. Wodo vloe, eye míebui ɖe naneke me o.
Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
4 Ke le nyateƒe me la, eyae tsɔ míaƒe dɔlélewo, eye wòde ta míaƒe vevesesewo te, gake míebui abe ame si Mawu ƒo, eye wòtsɔ fukpekpewo da ɖe edzi la ene.
But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
5 Ke woƒo nu ɖee le míaƒe dzidadawo ta. Wogbãe gudugudu ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Tohehe si he ŋutifafa vɛ na mí la le eya amea dzi, eye eƒe abi siwo wòxɔ la yɔ dɔ mí.
But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
6 Mí katã míetra mɔ abe alẽwo ene. Mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ; ke Yehowa tsɔ mí katã ƒe nu vɔ̃wo da ɖe eya amea dzi.
We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
7 Wotee ɖe to, eye wòkpe fu, gake meke nu o. Wokplɔe abe alẽ ene yina wuwu ge. Ezi ɖoɖoe kpoo abe alẽ si le eƒe fukolawo ŋkume la ene, eye meke nu o.
Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
8 Wolée, hedrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, eye wokplɔe dzoe. Ame ka ate ŋu aƒo nu le eƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋuti? Woɖee ɖa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi. Le nye amewo ƒe dzidadawo ta woƒoe ɖo.
They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
9 Woɖe yɔdo nɛ ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dome, eye le eƒe ku me, wòmlɔ kesinɔtɔwo dome; evɔ mewɔ vɔ̃ aɖeke loo alo beble nɔ eƒe nu me o.
And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
10 Ke enye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu be wòagbãe gudugudu, ana wòakpe fu togbɔ be Yehowa tsɔ eƒe agbe wɔ fɔɖivɔsae hã la, akpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo. Adidi eƒe ŋkekewo ɖe edzi, eye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu ava eme to eƒe asi dzi.
And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
11 Ne eƒe luʋɔ kpe fu vɔ la, akpɔ agbe ƒe kekeli, eye eƒe dzi adze eme; to enyanya me, nye dɔla dzɔdzɔe atso afia na ame geɖewo, eye wòade ta woƒe nu vɔ̃wo te,
... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
12 eya ta mana gomekpɔkpɔe le ame ŋkutawo dome. Ama afunyinuwo kple kalẽtɔwo, elabena etsɔ eƒe agbe de ku me ke, eye wowui ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo dome ene; evɔ eyae tsɔ ame geɖewo ƒe nu vɔ̃, eye wòxɔ nya ɖe vodalawo nu.
For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
