Isaia 53
1 Iza no nino ny teny nampitondraina anay? Ary iza no nampisehoana ny sandrin’ i Jehovah?
Who hath believed our message? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
2 Fa naniry teo anatrehany tahaka ny zana-kazo madinika Izy sy tahaka ny solofon-kazo amin’ ny tany karankaina; tsy nanana endrika na fahatsaran-tarehy Izy; Ary raha nijery Azy isika, dia tsy nisy hatsaran-tarehy haniriantsika Azy.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 Natao tsinontsinona sy nolavin’ ny olona Izy; lehilahy ory sady zatra ny fahoriana, Ary tahaka izay tsy tian’ ny olon-kojerena akory Izy; natao tsinontsinona Izy ka tsy mba nahoantsika.
He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.
4 Nitondra ny aretintsika tokoa Izy sady nivesatra ny fahoriantsika; kanjo isika kosa nanao azy ho nokapohina sy nasian’ Andriamanitra ary nampahorina.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 Nefa Izy dia voalefona noho ny fahadisoantsika sy notorotoroina noho ny helotsika, ny fampijaliana nahazoantsika fihavanana no namelezana Azy; ary ny dian-kapoka taminy no nahasitranana antsika.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 Isika rehetra dia samy efa nania tahaka ny ondry, samy efa nivily ho amin’ ny lalantsika avy isika rehetra; ary nataon’ i Jehovah nihatra taminy avokoa ny helotsika rehetra.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Nampahorina Izy, nefa nanetry tena ka tsy niloa-bava, dia tahaka ny zanak’ ondry entina hovonoina, sy tahaka ny ondrivavy izay moana eo anatrehan’ ny mpanety azy, eny, tsy niloa-bava Izy.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
8 Ny fampahoriana sy ny fitsarana no nenti-nanaisotra Azy; ary iza tamin’ ny niara-belona taminy no nihevitra fa nofongorana niala tamin’ ny tanin’ ny velona Izy, ka ny fahadisoan’ ny oloko no nikapohana Azy?
By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?
9 Ary nokasaina hatao tao amin’ ny olo-meloka ny fasany (Nefa teo amin’ ny mpanankarena Izy, rehefa novonoina), na dia tsy nanao ratsy aza Izy, sady tsy nisy fitaka teo am-bavany.
And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Nefa sitrak’ i Jehovah ny hanorotoro sy hampangirifiry Azy; Rehefa manolotra fanati-panonerana Izy, dia hahita taranaka sady ho maro andro, ary ny sitrapon’ i Jehovah dia hambinina eo an-tànany.
Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
11 Noho ny fisasaran’ ny fanahiny dia hahita izany Izy ka ho afa-po; Ny fahalalana Azy no hanamarinan’ ny Mpanompoko marina ny olona maro, ary Izy no hivesatra ny helok’ ireo.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Koa dia hanome Azy anjara amin’ ny lehibe Aho, ary hizara babo amin’ ny mahery Izy; Satria naidiny ho amin’ ny fahafatesana ny ainy, Ary natao ho isan’ ny mpanota Izy; Eny, Izy no nitondra ny fahotan’ ny maro sady manao fifonana ho an’ ny mpanota.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
