Isaia 53
1 Nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ, nakuo guoko kwa Jehova-rĩ, kũguũrĩirio ũ?
Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?
2 Nĩgũkorwo ndungata ĩyo yakũrire ĩhaana ta mũtĩ mwĩthĩ, na ta mũri ũmerete kũndũ kũmũ. Ndĩarĩ kĩĩrorerwa o na kana ĩgathakara ũndũ tũngĩaguucĩrĩirio nĩyo, ĩkĩoneka-rĩ, gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩngĩatũmire tũmĩĩrirĩrie.
Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.
3 Ndungata ĩyo nĩyanyararirwo na ĩkĩregwo nĩ andũ, aarĩ mũndũ wa kĩeha kĩingĩ na wonete thĩĩna. O ta mũndũ ũrĩa andũ mahithaga mothiũ mao matikamuone-rĩ, aanyararirwo, na ithuĩ tũtiigana kũmũtĩĩa.
People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.
4 Ti-itherũ nĩwe woire wonje witũ, na agĩkuua kĩeha giitũ; no ithuĩ twatuire nĩkũhũũrwo aahũũrĩtwo nĩ Ngai, akamũgũtha na akamũnyamaria.
However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.
5 No rĩrĩ, aatihangirio nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia maitũ, o na akĩhehenjwo nĩ ũndũ wa waganu witũ; nakuo kũherithio kũrĩa gwatũmire tũgĩe na thayũ nĩwe waherithirio, na ithuĩ tũhonagio nĩ ũndũ wa nguraro ciake.
But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.
6 Ithuothe, nĩtũhĩtĩtie njĩra, tũgaturuura ta ngʼondu ciũrĩte, o mũndũ agathiĩ na njĩra yake mwene; nake Jehova nĩamũigĩrĩire waganu witũ ithuothe.
All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.
7 Nĩahinyĩrĩirio na agĩthĩĩnio, nowe ndaatumũrire kanua gake; aakirire ki o ta ũrĩa gatũrũme gakiraga gagĩthiĩ gũthĩnjwo, na o ta ũrĩa ngʼondu ĩkiraga ki ĩrĩ mbere ya mũmĩenji guoya, noguo o nake ataatumũrire kanua gake.
He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.
8 Eeheririo na ũndũ wa kũhinyĩrĩrio na gũtuĩrwo ciira ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto. Ha ũhoro wa rũciaro rwake-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩaria ũhoro waruo? Nĩgũkorwo eeheririo kuuma bũrũri wa arĩa matũũraga muoyo; na nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia ma andũ akwa nĩkĩo aahũũrirwo.
Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.
9 Rĩrĩa aakuire aigirwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya andũ aaganu, o na agĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya andũ arĩa itonga, o na harĩa atekĩte ũndũ mũũru, kana kanua gake gakaaria maheeni.
They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.
10 No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩonire arĩ wega amũhehenje, na agĩtũma athĩĩnĩke, na rĩrĩa Jehova agaatũma muoyo wake ũtuĩke igongona rĩa mehia-rĩ, nĩakoona rũciaro rwake, na amũingĩhĩrie matukũ make, naguo wendi wa Jehova nĩũkagaacĩra guoko-inĩ gwake.
However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.
11 Thuutha wa ngoro yake gũthĩĩnĩka, nĩakoona uumithio wa gũthĩĩnĩka gwake, na aiganĩre; nĩ ũndũ wa ũmenyo wake, ndungata ĩyo yakwa thingu nĩĩgatũma andũ aingĩ matuĩke athingu, na nĩĩgakuua mawaganu mao, ĩmeherie.
After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.
12 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamĩgayanĩria igai hamwe na arĩa anene, o na magayane indo cia gũtahwo na andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, tondũ nĩarutire muoyo wake akue, na agĩtaranĩrio na arĩa aagarari watho. Nĩgũkorwo nĩakuuire mehia ma andũ aingĩ, o na arĩa maahĩtĩtie akĩmathaithanĩrĩra.
That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
