Yesaya 53
1 Ame kae xɔ miaƒe gbedeasi la dzi se, eye ame ka ŋue woɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe alɔ fia ɖo?
Who has trusted our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by 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.
But he was pierced for our rebellious breaches of relationships. He was crushed for our depravities (moral evils). The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his stripes and wounds we are healed and made whole.
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.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Adonai has laid on him את the depravity (moral evil) 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, 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.
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.
After forcible arrest and sentencing, he was taken away; את and none of his generation protested his being cut off out of the land of the living for the rebellious breach of relationship of my people, who deserved the punishment themselves.
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.
They made his grave with את the wicked, את and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, nor was any 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.
Yet it pleased Adonai to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. To see if he would present himself as a fault incurring guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring, and he will prolong his days, and Adonai’s pleasure will 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,
After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction “By his knowing [pain and sacrifice]. My righteous servant will justify many; for it is their depravities (moral evils) that he suffers.
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 give him a portion with the great, את and with the strong he will divide the spoils; because he exposed himself to death, and was counted with את the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship; while actually bearing the crime deserving penalty, sin ·missing the goal· of many, and interceding for the rebellious who break away from authority thus breaking relationship.
