< Isaaya 53 >

1 Ani akkiriza ebigambo byaffe, era ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 Kubanga yakulira mu maaso ga Mukama ng’ekisimbe ekigonvu era ng’omulandira oguva mu ttaka ekkalu. Teyalina kitiibwa wadde obulungi obutusikiriza tulage gy’ali; tewaali kalungi mu ye katumwegombesa.
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 Yanyoomebwa n’agaanibwa abantu; omuntu eyagumira ennaku n’obuyinike. Tetwayagala na kumutunulako, ng’omuntu gwe wandikubye amabega ng’ayitawo, bwe twamunyooma ne tutamuyitamu ka buntu.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
4 Mazima ddala yeetikka obuyinike bwaffe, n’atwala ennaku yaffe, obulumi obwanditulumye bwe bwamunyiga. Ate nga twalowooza nti okubonaabona kwe kyali kibonerezo okuva eri Katonda.
Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.
5 Naye yafumitibwa olw’okusobya kwaffe. Yabetentebwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwaffe. Yeetikka ekibonerezo ffe tusobole okubeera n’emirembe. Ebiwundu bye, bye bituwonya.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
6 Ffenna twawaba ng’endiga; buli omu ku ffe n’akwata ekkubo lye; Mukama n’amuteekako obutali butuukirivu bwaffe ffenna.
We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
7 Yanyigirizibwa era n’obonyaabonyezebwa naye talina kye yanyega, yali ng’omwana gw’endiga ogutwalibwa okuttibwa, era ng’endiga bwesirika obusirisi mu maaso g’abo abagisalako ebyoya bwesirika, bw’atyo bwe yasirika.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
8 Mu kunyigirizibwa n’okusalirwa omusango yatwalibwa. Ani amanyi ku bye zadde lye? Yaggyibwa mu nsi y’abalamu, ng’akubiddwa olw’okusobya kw’abantu, bange.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away, and who can recount His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was stricken for the transgression of My people.
9 Ne bamussa mu ntaana n’abakozi b’ebibi, n’aziikibwa n’abagagga mu kufa kwe, newaakubadde nga teyazza musango wadde akamwa ke okwogera eby’obulimba.
He was assigned a 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 Songa ate yali nteekateeka ya Mukama okumubetenta, era n’okumuleetera okubonaabona. Naye wadde nga Mukama yafuula obulamu bwe, okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, aliraba ezzadde, era obulamu bwe bulyongerwako, n’ebyo Mukama by’asiima biriraba omukisa mu mukono gwe.
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 Oluvannyuma lw’okubonaabona kw’obulamu bwe, bw’aliraba ku ebyo ebiva mu kubonaabona kwe, omutima gwe gulitereera. Era olw’ebyo bye yayitamu omuweereza wange omutuukirivu alireetera bangi okubalirwa obutuukirivu; era alyetikka obutali butuukirivu bwabwe.
After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
12 Kyendiva mmuwa ekifo eky’ekitiibwa mu bangi, era aligabira bangi omunyago kubanga yafuka obulamu bwe okutuusa okufa, n’abalirwa wamu n’abakozi b’ebibi. Era yeetikka ebibi by’abangi era ne yeegayiririra abakozi b’ebibi.
Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
