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 believed our report? and the arm of the Lord—over whom hath it been revealed?
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.
Yea, he grew up like a small shoot before him, and as a root out of a dry land: he had no form nor comeliness, so that we should look at him; and no countenance, so that we should desire him.
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.
He was despised and shunned by men; a man of pains, and acquainted with disease; and as one who hid his face from us was he despised, and we esteemed him not.
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 only our diseases did he bear himself, and our pains he carried: while we indeed esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.
Yet he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement for our peace was upon him; and through his bruises was healing granted to us.
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 like sheep went astray; every one to his own way did we turn; and the Lord let befall him the guilt 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.
He was oppressed, and he was also taunted, yet he opened not his mouth; like the lamb which is led to the slaughter, and like an ewe before her shearers is dumb; and he opened not his mouth.
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.
Through oppression and through judicial punishment was he taken away; but his generation—who could tell, that he was cut away out of the land of life, [that] for the transgressions of my people the plague was laid on him?
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 he let his grave be made with the wicked, and with the [godless] rich at his death; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit 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.
But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease: when [now] his soul hath brought the trespass-offering, then shall he see [his] seed, live many days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper 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,
[Freed] from the trouble of his soul shall he see [the good] and be satisfied: through his knowledge shall my righteous servant bring the many to righteousness, while he will bear their iniquities.
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.
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the many, and with the strong shall he divide the spoil; because he poured out his soul unto death, and with transgressors was he numbered: while he bore the sin of many, and for the transgressors he let [evil] befall him.
