Ezayi 53
1 Nani andimaki makambo oyo tosakolaki? Mpe epai ya nani loboko na Yawe emonisamaki?
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 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 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 Bato batiolaki mpe basundolaki ye, ye moto na pasi, amesana konyokwama. Lokola moto oyo babwakeli soyi na elongi, atiolamaki, mpe tondimaki ye te.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well 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.
... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
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.
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.
