Yesaia 53
1 Hena na wagye yɛn asɛm no adi? na Awurade abasa no, hena so na ada adi?
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 Onyin wɔ nʼanim te sɛ dua amono ketewa bi, te sɛ ntin a efi asase wosee mu. Onni ahoɔfɛ anaa anuonyam a ɛbɛtwetwe yɛn akɔ ne nkyɛn. Ne tebea mu nni biribiara a ɛbɛma yɛapɛ no.
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 Nnipa bɔɔ no ahohora na wɔpoo no, Ɔwerɛhowni a onim ɔyaw. Te sɛ obi a nnipa de wɔn anim hintaw no wobuu no animtiaa na yɛammu no.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
4 Ampa ara ɔfaa yɛn mmerɛwyɛ, na ɔsoaa yɛn awerɛhow, nanso yebuu no sɛ Onyankopɔn na watwe nʼaso. Yebuu no sɛ, Onyankopɔn na wabɔ no na wadwerɛw no.
Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken by God, struck down and afflicted.
5 Nanso yɛn mmarato nti na wopiraa no, yɛn amumɔyɛ nti na wɔdwerɛw no; asotwe a ɛde asomdwoe brɛɛ yɛn no daa no so, na nʼapirakuru mu na yenya ayaresa.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
6 Yɛn nyinaa ayerayera te sɛ nguan, yɛn mu biara afa ne kwan; na Awurade de yɛn nyinaa amumɔyɛ ato no so.
We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
7 Wɔhyɛɛ no so, yɛɛ no ayayade, nanso wammue nʼano; wɔde no kɔɔ te sɛ oguamma a wɔrekokum no. Sɛnea oguamma yɛ komm wɔ ne nwitwitwafo anim no, saa ara na wammue nʼano.
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
8 Wɔnam nhyɛso ne atemmu so faa no kɔe. Na hena na obetumi aka nʼasefo ho asɛm? Efisɛ woyii no fii asase yi so; me nkurɔfo mmarato nti wɔtwee nʼaso.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away, and who can recount His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was stricken for the transgression of My people.
9 Wɔyɛɛ ne da wɔ abɔnefo mu, na ne wu mu wɔde no too adefo mu ɛwɔ mu, wanyɛ akakabensɛm biara, na obiara ante atosɛm biara amfi nʼano.
He was assigned a 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 Nanso ɛyɛɛ Awurade pɛ sɛ ɔbɛdwerɛw no ama no ahu amane mpo ɔde ne nkwa yɛ afɔdi afɔrebɔde, obehu nʼasefo na ne nna bɛware, na Awurade pɛ bɛkɔ so wɔ ne nsam.
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11 Ne kra amanehunu akyi, obehu nkwa hann, na ne koma atɔ ne yam; na ne suahu mu me somfo treneeni no bebu bebree bem, na wasoa wɔn amumɔyɛ.
After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
12 Enti mɛma no kyɛfa wɔ atitiriw mu, na ɔne ahoɔdenfo bɛkyɛ asade efisɛ ɔde ne nkwa too hɔ maa owu, na wɔkan no fraa mmaratofo. Ɔsoaa nnipa bebree bɔne, na odi maa mmaratofo.
Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
