< Ezayi 53 >

1 Nani andimaki makambo oyo tosakolaki? Mpe epai ya nani loboko na Yawe emonisamaki?
Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
2 Pamba te akolaki liboso na Ye lokola nzete ya moke, lokola mosisa oyo ebimi na esobe; azalaki ata na kitoko to lokumu te oyo ekokaki kobenda miso na biso ete etala ye; lolenge na ye ezalaki ata na eloko moko te oyo ekokaki kosala ete tosepela na ye.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 Bato batiolaki mpe basundolaki ye, ye moto na pasi, amesana konyokwama. Lokola moto oyo babwakeli soyi na elongi, atiolamaki, mpe tondimaki ye te.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we did not respect him.
4 Solo, amemaki mokumba ya bokono na biso mpe alataki pasi na biso kati na nzoto na ye; kasi biso, tokanisaki ete Nzambe nde abetaki ye, apesaki ye etumbu mpe asambwisaki ye.
Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
5 Nzokande, bazokisaki ye bapota mpo na botomboki na biso, banyokolaki ye mpo na masumu na biso; etumbu oyo ememelaki biso kimia ekweyaki na nzoto na ye; mpe na nzela ya bapota na ye, biso tobikisami na bokono na biso.
But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
6 Biso nyonso, tozalaki koyengayenga lokola bana meme, moko na moko azalaki kolanda nzela na ye; bongo Yawe akweyisaki masumu na biso nyonso na nzoto na ye.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Banyokolaki ye mpe bamonisaki ye pasi, kasi atikalaki kofungola monoko na ye te lokola mpate oyo bazali komema na esika oyo babomelaka banyama, lokola meme liboso ya bato oyo bazali kolongola yango bapwale; akangaki monoko na ye.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 Babomaki ye na nzela ya minyoko mpe ya etumbu; kasi nani kati na bato ya tango na ye akokaki komitungisa na tina na ye? Pamba te balongolaki ye na mokili ya bato ya bomoi, babetaki ye likolo ya masumu ya bato na Ngai.
He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
9 Bapesaki ye kunda kati na bato mabe, mpe kunda na ye ezalaki elongo na bazwi, atako asalaki likambo moko te ya mabe, mpe monoko na ye etikalaki koloba lokuta te.
They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Nzokande, ezalaki mokano na Yawe ete anyokwama na nzela ya pasi. Atako Yawe akomisaki bomoi na ye mbeka mpo na masumu, akomona bakitani na ye mpe mikolo na ye ekobakisama; bongo mokano na Yawe ekolongisama na loboko na ye.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
11 Sima na pasi ya molimo na ye, akomona pole ya bomoi mpe posa na ye ekokokisama. Na nzela ya boyebi na ye, Mosali na Ngai ya sembo akolongisa bato ebele mpe akomema masumu na bango.
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Yango wana, nakopesa ye libula kati na bato minene, mpe akokabola bomengo ya bitumba elongo na bato ya makasi, pamba te akabaki bomoi na ye na kufa mpe amitikaki ete batanga ye na molongo ya babomi bato, pamba te amemaki masumu ya bato ebele mpe amikomisaki molobeli ya babuki mibeko.
Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
