Isaaya 53
1 Ani akkiriza ebigambo byaffe, era ani abikkuliddwa omukono gwa Mukama?
'Who would have believed our report? And to whom hath 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.
For he shot up right forth as a sapling, and as a root out of a dry ground; he had no form nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, nor beauty that we should delight in 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 forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: 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 our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, 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 wounded because of our transgressions, he was crushed because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our welfare was upon him, and with his stripes we were healed.
6 Ffenna twawaba ng’endiga; buli omu ku ffe n’akwata ekkubo lye; Mukama n’amuteekako obutali butuukirivu bwaffe ffenna.
All we like sheep did go astray, we turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath made to light on 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, though he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before her shearers is dumb; yea, he opened not 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 with his generation who did reason? for he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due.
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 made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich his tomb; although he had done no violence, neither 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 pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by 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.
Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.
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 will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
