Yesaia 53
1 Hena na wagye yɛn asɛm no adi? na Awurade abasa no, hena so na ada adi?
Who will beleeue our report? and to whom is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
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.
But hee shall growe vp before him as a branche, and as a roote out of a dry grounde: he hath neither forme nor beautie: when we shall see him, there shall be no forme that wee 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 is despised and reiected of men: he is a man full of sorowes and hath experience of infirmities: we hidde as it were our faces from him: 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 hee hath borne our infirmities, and caried our sorowes: yet wee did iudge him, as plagued, and smitten of God, and humbled.
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 hee was wounded for our transgressions, hee was broken for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with 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.
All we like sheepe haue gone astraye: wee haue turned euery one to his owne way, and the Lord hath layed vpon him the iniquitie of vs 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.
Hee was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet did he not open his mouth: hee is brought as a sheepe to the slaughter, and as a sheepe before her shearer is dumme, so he openeth not 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.
Hee was taken out from prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his age? for he was cut out of the lande of the liuing: for the transgression of my people was he plagued.
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.
And he made his graue with the wicked, and with the riche in his death, though hee had done no wickednesse, neither was any deceite 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 the Lord would breake him, and make him subiect to infirmities: when hee shall make his soule an offring for sinne, he shall see his seede and shall prolong his dayes, and the will of the Lord shall 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.
Hee shall see of the trauaile of his soule, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant iustifie many: for hee shall beare 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 will I giue him a portion with the great, and he shall deuide the spoyle with the strong, because hee hath powred out his soule vnto death: and he was counted with the transgressers, and he bare the sinne of many, and prayed for the trespassers.
