Isaaya 53
1 Ani akkiriza ebigambo byaffe, era ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?
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 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.
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 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.
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 Mazima ddala yeetikka obuyinike bwaffe, n’atwala ennaku yaffe, obulumi obwanditulumye bwe bwamunyiga. Ate nga twalowooza nti okubonaabona kwe kyali kibonerezo okuva eri Katonda.
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 Naye yafumitibwa olw’okusobya kwaffe. Yabetentebwa olw’obutali butuukirivu bwaffe. Yeetikka ekibonerezo ffe tusobole okubeera n’emirembe. Ebiwundu bye, bye bituwonya.
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 Ffenna twawaba ng’endiga; buli omu ku ffe n’akwata ekkubo lye; Mukama n’amuteekako obutali butuukirivu bwaffe ffenna.
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 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.
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 Mu kunyigirizibwa n’okusalirwa omusango yatwalibwa. Ani amanyi ku bye zadde lye? Yaggyibwa mu nsi y’abalamu, ng’akubiddwa olw’okusobya kw’abantu, bange.
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 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.
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 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.
And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well 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.
... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself.
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.
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.
