< Isaia 53 >

1 Nũũ wĩtĩkĩtie ũhoro witũ, nakuo guoko kwa Jehova-rĩ, kũguũrĩirio ũ?
Who hath believed our report, And to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
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.
For He grew up before him like a tender plant, Like a sucker from a dry soil; He had no form, nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, Nor beauty, that we should take pleasure in 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.
He was despised, and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with disease; As one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Ti-itherũ nĩwe woire wonje witũ, na agĩkuua kĩeha giitũ; no ithuĩ twatuire nĩkũhũũrwo aahũũrĩtwo nĩ Ngai, akamũgũtha na akamũnyamaria.
But he bore our diseases, And carried our pains, And we esteemed him stricken from above, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
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 for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; For our peace was the chastisement upon him, And by his stripes are we healed.
6 Ithuothe, nĩtũhĩtĩtie njĩra, tũgaturuura ta ngʼondu ciũrĩte, o mũndũ agathiĩ na njĩra yake mwene; nake Jehova nĩamũigĩrĩire waganu witũ ithuothe.
All we, like sheep, were going astray; We turned every one to his own way, And Jehovah laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
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 oppressed, that was already afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth; As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, He opened not his mouth.
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.
By oppression and punishment he was taken away, And who in his generation would consider That he was cut off from the land of the living, That for the transgression of my people he was smitten?
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.
His grave was appointed with the wicked, And with the rich man was his sepulchre, Although he had done no injustice, And there was no deceit in his mouth.
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.
It pleased Jehovah severely to bruise him; But when he hath made his life a sacrifice for sin, He shall see posterity; he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
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.
Free from his sorrows, he shall see and be satisfied; By his knowledge shall my righteous servant lead many to righteousness, And he shall bear their iniquities.
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.
Therefore will I give him his portion with the mighty, And with heroes shall he divide the spoil, Because he poured out his soul unto death, And was numbered with transgressors; Because he bore the sin of many, And made intercession for transgressors.
