< ʻIsaia 53 >

1 Ko hai kuo ne tui ki he ʻemau ongoongo? Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?
Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
2 He te ne tupu hake ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau matengofua, pea hangē ko e aka mei he kelekele mōmoa: ʻoku ʻikai ha sino lelei pe ha toulekeleka ʻiate ia, pea ka tau ka mamata kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻofoʻofa ke tau manako ai kiate ia.
For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no good looks or majesty. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 ‌ʻOku fehiʻanekina ia pea liʻaki ʻe he tangata; ko e tangata ʻoe ngaahi mamahi, pea maheni ai mo e loto mamahi: pea hangē naʻa tau fufū hotau mata meiate ia; kuo manuki ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te tau tokanga kiate ia.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering and acquainted with disease. He was despised as one from whom men hide their face; and we didn’t respect him.
4 Ko e moʻoni kuo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi vaivai, ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahi: ka naʻa tau mahalo kuo tautea mo taaʻi ia mei he ʻOtua, pea mamahiʻia.
Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
5 Ka naʻe lavea ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, naʻe fakavolu ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi hia: naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tautea koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie; pea ʻi hono ngaahi tā ʻoku tau moʻui ai.
But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
6 Kuo tau hē kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi; kuo tau afe taki taha kotoa pē ki hono hala; pea kuo hilifaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻatautolu kotoa pē.
All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 Naʻe fakamālohia, pea naʻe mamahi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mafaʻa hono fofonga: ʻoku tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e lami ke tāmateʻi, pea hangē ko e sipi ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi, pea naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga.
He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.
8 Naʻe ʻave ia mei he fale fakapōpula, pea mei he fakamaau: pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga? He naʻe tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui: naʻe teʻia ia koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku kakai.
He was taken away by oppression and judgement. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
9 Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni hono tanuʻanga mo e kakai angahala, pea fakataha mo e maʻumeʻa ʻi heʻene pekia; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne fai kovi, pea naʻe ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono fofonga.
They made his 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 Ka naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakavolu ia; kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae mamahi: ʻoka ke ka ngaohi hono laumālie ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e hia, te ne mamata ki hono hako, te ne fakatolotolonga hono ngaahi ʻaho, pea ko e finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻe monūʻia ia ʻi hono nima.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he will see his offspring. He will prolong his days and the LORD’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.
11 He te ne vakai ki he fua ʻoe mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie, pea fiemālie ai ia: ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki māʻoniʻoni ʻae tokolahi; he te ne fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.
After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
12 Ko ia te u vaheʻi kiate ia ha ʻinasi fakataha mo e kakai ongoongo, pea te ne vahevahe ʻae koloa fakataha mo e kakai mālohi; koeʻuhi naʻa ne lilingi hono laumālie ki he mate: pea naʻe lau ia fakataha mo e kau angahala; pea naʻa ne fua ʻae hia ʻoe toko lahi, pea ne hūfekina ʻae kakai angahala.
Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
