Isaya 53
1 Ndianiko akatenda zvatakaparidza, uye ruoko rwaJehovha rwakaratidzwa kuna aniko?
Ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu, njalo amandla kaThixo abonakaliswe kubani na?
2 Akamera pamberi pake sebukira nyoro, uye somudzi pavhu rakaoma. Akanga asina runako kana chimiro choumambo kuti atikwezve kwaari, hapana chatingada pakuratidzika kwake.
Wakhula phambi kwakhe njengehlumela, lanjengempande emhlabathini owomileyo. Wayengelabuhle lobukhosi ukuba asikhange, kungelalutho esimeni sakhe olungenza simfune.
3 Akazvidzwa uye akarambwa navanhu, murume wokusuwa, uye anoziva kutambudzika. Somunhu anovanzirwa chiso navanhu, akazvidzwa, uye isu hatina kumukudza.
Weyiswa njalo waliwa ngabantu, umuntu wezinsizi, njalo ekujayele ukuhlupheka. Lowo abantu abangafuniyo ukukhangelana laye weyiswa, asimhloniphanga.
4 Zvirokwazvo akatakura matenda edu, uye akatakura kurwadziswa kwedu; asi isu takafunga kuti akarohwa naMwari, akarohwa naye uye akarwadziswa.
Ngempela wathatha inhlungu zethu wathwala insizi zethu, kodwa thina sathi utshaywe nguNkulunkulu, ebethwe nguye, njalo uhlutshiwe.
5 Asi akabayiwa nokuda kwokudarika kwedu, akakuvadzwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvedu; kurohwa kwakativigira rugare kwaiva pamusoro pake, uye namavanga ake takaporeswa.
Kodwa wagwazwa ngenxa yezono zethu, wachobozwa ngenxa yokona kwethu, ukuhlutshwa kwakhe kwasilethela ukuthula, njalo sasiliswa ngamanxeba akhe.
6 Isu tose takanga takarasika samakwai, mumwe nomumwe nenzira yake, asi Jehovha akaisa pamusoro pake kuipa kwedu tose.
Thina sonke silahlekile njengezimvu, munye ngamunye wethu uphambukele endleleni yakhe; njalo uThixo ubeke phezu kwakhe ukona kwethu sonke.
7 Akamanikidzwa uye akarwadziswa, asi haana kushamisa muromo wake; akatungamirirwa segwayana riri kundobayiwa, uye sokunyarara kwegwai pamberi pomuveuri waro, saizvozvo haana kushamisa muromo wake.
Wancindezelwa wahlutshwa, kodwa kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe; wakhokhelwa ukuyabulawa njengewundlu, njalo njengemvu ithule phambi komgundi wayo, laye kawuvulanga umlomo wakhe.
8 Akabviswa achimanikidzwa uye akatongwa. Uye ndianiko angataura rudzi rwake? Nokuti akagurwa kubva panyika yavapenyu, nokuda kwokudarika kwavanhu vangu, akarohwa.
Ngokuncindezelwa langokwahlulela wathathwa. Ngubani ongakhuluma ngesizukulwane sakhe na? Ngoba wasuswa elizweni labaphilayo; watshaywa ngenxa yeziphambeko zabantu bami.
9 Akapiwa guva rake pakati pavatadzi, uye akava navapfumi pakufa kwake, kunyange akanga asina kuita zvechisimba, uye kunyengera kusina kuwanikwa mumuromo make.
Wabelwa ingcwaba kanye lababi, kanye labanothileyo ekufeni kwakhe, lanxa kungeladlakela alwenzayo njalo kungekho inkohliso emlonyeni wakhe.
10 Asi kwakanga kuri kuda kwaJehovha kuti amukuvadze uye aite kuti atambudzike, uye kunyange zvazvo Jehovha akaita kuti upenyu hwake huve chipiriso chezvivi, achaona zvibereko zvake uye achawedzera mazuva ake, uye kuda kwaJehovha kuchabudirira muruoko rwake.
Ikanti kwakuyintando kaThixo ukumchoboza lokumenza ahlupheke, njalo lanxa uThixo esenza ukuphila kwakhe umnikelo wecala, uzabona inzalo yakhe, andise insuku zokuphila kwakhe, lentando kaThixo izaphumelela ngaye.
11 Shure kwokutambudzika kwomweya wake, achaona chiedza choupenyu uye achagutsikana; nokuziva kwake, muranda wangu akarurama acharuramisira vazhinji, uye achatakura kuipa kwavo.
Emva kokuhlupheka komoya wakhe, uzabona ukukhanya kokuphila asuthiseke; ngokwazi kwayo inceku yami elungileyo izalungisa abanengi, ithwale izono zabo.
12 Naizvozvo ndichamupa mugove pakati pavakuru vakuru, uye achagoverana zvakapambwa navane simba, nokuti akadurura upenyu hwake kusvika parufu, akaverengwa pamwe chete navadariki. Nokuti akatakura chivi chavazhinji, akanyengeterera vadariki.
Ngakho-ke ngizamnika isabelo phakathi kwabakhulu, njalo uzakwabelana impango labalamandla ngoba wanikela ukuphila kwakhe ekufeni, wabalwa ndawonye lezoni; ngoba wathwala izono zabanengi, wancengela izoni.
