Aịzaya 53
1 Onye kweere ozi anyị, ọ bụkwa nʼahụ onye ka e kpugheere ogwe aka Onyenwe anyị?
Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?
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.
Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.
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.
He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
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.
Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.
And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.
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.
All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet 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.
It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth.
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.
By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,
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 it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor [is] deceit 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 Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed — he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.
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.
Of the labour of his soul he seeth — he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.
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.
Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
