Ezayi 53
1 Se kilès ki te kwè mesaj nou yo? Epi a kilès bra SENYÈ a te vin revele?
(Who will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant]?/Hardly anyone will believe what we will tell them [about God’s servant].) [RHQ] (Who will see what Yahweh does by his great power?/Very few people will see what Yahweh does by his great power.) [MTY, RHQ]
2 Paske Li te grandi devan nou kon yon boujon vèt, e tankou yon rasin ki sòti nan tè sèk. Li pa gen okenn bèlte nan fòm Li, ni majeste pou nou ta gade sou Li, ni aparans pou nou ta atire a Li.
While God watches, his servant will grow up [appearing/seeming to be very insignificant/unimportant], like a weak young plant that shoots up from a root [of a tree that is growing] in dry ground. There will be nothing beautiful or majestic about him, nothing that would cause us to want to be with him.
3 Li te meprize e abandone pa lòm; yon nonm ak gwo tristès ki te konnen gwo soufrans, ak tout maladi. Tankou yon moun de sila moun kache figi yo, Li te vin meprize, e nou pa t bay Li okenn valè.
People will despise and reject him. {He will be despised and rejected.} He will endure much pain, and he will suffer much. [Because his face will be very disfigured], people will not [want to] look at him; people will despise him and think that he is not worth paying any attention to.
4 Anverite, se doulè nou yo Li te pote ak soufrans nou yo Li te chaje sou do L; men nou te rekonèt Li kon moun pini, frape pa Bondye e aflije.
But he will be [punished for] the sicknesses [of our souls]; he will endure great pain for us. But we will think that he is being punished by God, afflicted/punished [for his own sins].
5 Men Li te frennen, pèse nèt pou peche nou yo. Li te kraze pou inikite nou yo. Chatiman ki fè nou gen lapè a te tonbe sou Li, e se pa blesi Li yo, nou te jwenn gerizon.
But his body will be bruised because of the evil things that we did, wounded because of our sins. He will be beaten in order that things will go well for our [souls]; and because he will be whipped, [our souls] can be healed.
6 Nou tout kon mouton, te pèdi chemen nou yo. Nou chak te antre nan pwòp chemen pa nou, men SENYÈ a te fè inikite a nou tout tonbe sou Li.
All of us have gone away [from God] like [SIM] sheep who have strayed away [from their shepherd]. We have turned away [from doing the things that God wants in order] to do the things that we wanted [MET]. [We deserve to be punished, but] Yahweh will punish him instead of punishing us for all of our sins.
7 Li te vin oprime e aflije; malgre sa, Li pa t ouvri bouch Li. Tankou yon jèn mouton ki t ap mennen labatwa, e tankou yon mouton ki rete an silans devan sila k ap taye lenn li yo, konsa Li pa t ouvri bouch Li.
He will be abused and caused to suffer, but he will not say anything [to complain]. They will lead him [to where they will execute him], [like they lead] a lamb to where it will be slaughtered. And like a sheep does not (bleat/make any noise) when the shearer [cuts off its wool], he will not say anything [MTY] [to defend himself when he is killed].
8 Avèk opresyon avèk jijman Li te retire nèt. Selon jenerasyon Li, yo te konsidere Li te koupe retire nèt nan peyi a vivan yo, ke Li te kraze akoz peche a pèp Mwen yo.
After he is arrested and put on trial, he will be taken away [and executed]. And no one [RHQ] will be able to talk about his descendants, because he will die [EUP] [without being married and having children]. He will be (afflicted/caused to suffer) for the wrong things that we have done.
9 Tonbo pa L te pataje pami moun mechan yo, men se avèk yon nonm rich Li te ye nan lanmò Li, malgre Li pa t fè okenn vyolans, ni pa t gen okenn desepsyon nan bouch Li.
Although he will never have done any wrong or deceived [MTY] anyone, people will plan to bury his corpse where wicked people are buried, but instead, a rich man will [bury him] after he dies.
10 Men SENYÈ a te kontan brize Li; pou mete Li nan gwo soufrans, pou L ta rann Li menm kon yon ofrann koupabilite, pou L ta wè desandan Li yo. Li va pwolonje jou Li yo, e bon plezi SENYÈ a va reyisi nan men Li.
But it will be Yahweh’s will that he be afflicted and caused to suffer. And [when he dies], Yahweh will cause him to be an offering to remove the guilt of sinners. But later he will have many [spiritual] children, and he will live (a long time/forever) after he [dies and] becomes alive [again], and he [MTY] will accomplish everything that Yahweh has planned.
11 Apre gwo doulè nanm Li an, Li va wè limyè a, e Li va satisfè. Sèvitè Ladwati Mwen an va jistifye anpil moun akoz konnesans Li anvè Li menm; e Li va pote inikite yo.
When he sees all that he will accomplish because of his suffering, he will be satisfied. And because of what will have happened to him, Yahweh’s righteous servant will cause the guilt of many people to be ended, because he will remove [the guilt for] their sins.
12 Konsa, Mwen va bay Li yon pòsyon ak gwo moun yo. Li va divize piyaj ak moun pwisan yo, akoz Li te livre nanm Li menm a lanmò, e Li te konte avèk malfektè yo; malgre Li te pote peche a anpil moun, e te entèsede pou koupab yo.
So Yahweh will consider him to be one of the truly great people; he will [be like a king who] divides up [among his soldiers] the (spoils/things they took from their enemies after defeating them) [MET], because he will sacrifice himself and die. [Even though people] will consider him to be a sinner, he will remove the guilt of many [people], and he will intercede/pray that those who have done things that are wrong [will be forgiven].
