Aịzaya 53
1 Onye kweere ozi anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼahụ onye ka e kpugheere ogwe aka Onyenwe anyị?
Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?
2 Nʼihi na o tolitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka ome, dịka mgbọrọgwụ nke puputara nʼala kpọrọ nkụ. O nweghị ụdịdị ọma maọbụ ịma mma nke ga-eme ka anyị lee ya anya. O nweghị ihe ọbụla dị nʼụdịdị ya nke ga-eme ka ihe banyere ya masị anyị, maọbụ mee ka anyị chọsie ya ike.
For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure;
3 Ndị mmadụ ledara ya anya, jụkwa ya. Ọ bụ onye nwere ọtụtụ ihe mgbu, bụrụkwa onye hụrụ ọtụtụ ahụhụ. Ma anyị gbakụtara ya azụ, jụ ilenye anya nʼebe ọ nọ. E, anyị ledara ya anya, jụ ịgụ ya dịka ọ bụ ihe ọbụla.
Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.
4 Nʼezie, ihe mgbu niile anyị ka o buuru, burukwa ahụhụ nke ọrịa anyị niile, ma anyị gụrụ ya ka onye Chineke tara ahụhụ, onye o tiri ihe otiti, na onye o mekpara ahụ.
But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.
5 Ma e tipụrụ ya ọnya nʼihi mmehie anyị: ọ bụkwa nʼihi ajọ omume anyị ka e ji merụchaa ya ahụ. E mere ka anyị nwee udo nʼihi ahụhụ ọ hụrụ; ọ bụkwa ubiri ụtarị dị ya nʼahụ mere anyị ji bụrụ ndị ahụ dị ike.
But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.
6 Anyị niile akpafuola dịka igwe atụrụ; onye ọbụla nʼime anyị etinyela isi ya nʼụzọ nke aka ya. Ma Onyenwe anyị ebokwasịla ya ajọ omume anyị niile.
We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.
7 A kpagburu ya, mesie ya ihe ike, ma otu mkpụrụ okwu esighị ya nʼọnụ pụta. E duuru ya pụọ dịka atụrụ a na-aga igbu egbu, dịka atụrụ a na-akpachapụ ajị ya si anọ nwayọọ nʼihu ndị na-akpacha ya ajị, otu a ka o si nọdụ na-asagheghị ọnụ ya.
Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.
8 Site na mmegbu na ikpe ka e ji wepụ ya. Ma, onye nʼetiti ndị ọgbọ ya weliri olu kwuo okwu? Nʼihi na e bipụrụ ya site nʼala ndị dị ndụ; maka njehie ndị m ka e ji tie ya ihe.
They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.
9 E nyefere ya ka e lie ya dịka onye na-emebi iwu, ọ bụkwa nʼetiti ndị ọgaranya ka e liri ya, ọ bụ ezie na o nweghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla o mere, ọ dịkwaghị okwu aghụghọ si nʼọnụ ya pụta.
And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth.
10 Ma ọ bụ ọchịchọ Onyenwe anyị ịzọpịa ya, na ime ka ọ taa ahụhụ. Nʼihi na ọnwụ ya bụ aja a chụrụ nʼihi ikpe ọmụma nke mmehie. Ọ ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ụmụ na ụmụ ụmụ ya; ọ ga-adịkwa ndụ ogologo oge. Nzube Chineke niile ga-emezukwa site na ya.
And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ...
11 Mgbe ọ hụsịrị ahụhụ, ọ ga-emesịa hụ ìhè nke ndụ, afọ ga-ejukwa ya, site nʼihe ọmụma ya, ka onye ezi omume ahụ, bụ ohu m ga-eme ka a gụọ ọtụtụ mmadụ dịka ndị ezi omume, ọ ga-ebukwa mmehie ha niile.
... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
12 Nʼihi ya, aga m enye ya oke nʼetiti ndị bara ụba, ọ ga-esokwa ndị bụ dike keta ihe nkwata nʼagha, nʼihi na ọ wụpụrụ ndụ ya nye ọnwụ, a gụkọtara ya na ndị na-emebi iwu. Ma ya onwe ya buuru mmehie ọtụtụ mmadụ, rịọọkwara ndị na-emebi iwu arịrịọ.
For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers.
