Yesaia 53
1 Hena na wagye yɛn asɛm no adi? na Awurade abasa no, hena so na ada adi?
Who hath believed our report, And to whom hath the arm of Jehovah 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.
For He grew up before him like a tender plant, Like a sucker from a dry soil; He had no form, nor comeliness, that we should look upon him, Nor beauty, that we should take pleasure in 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 forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with disease; As 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.
But he bore our diseases, And carried our pains, And we esteemed him stricken from above, Smitten of God, 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 wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; For our peace was the chastisement upon him, And by his stripes are we 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 sheep, were going astray; We turned every one to his own way, And Jehovah 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, that was already afflicted. Yet he opened not his mouth; As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, He opened 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.
By oppression and punishment he was taken away, And who in his generation would consider That he was cut off from the land of the living, That for the transgression of my people he was smitten?
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.
His grave was appointed with the wicked, And with the rich man was his sepulchre, Although he had done no injustice, And there was no 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.
It pleased Jehovah severely to bruise him; But when he hath made his life a sacrifice for sin, He shall see posterity; he shall prolong his days, And the pleasure of Jehovah 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.
Free from his sorrows, he shall see and be satisfied; By his knowledge shall my righteous servant lead many to righteousness, And he shall 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 will I give him his portion with the mighty, And with heroes shall he divide the spoil, Because he poured out his soul unto death, And was numbered with transgressors; Because he bore the sin of many, And made intercession for transgressors.
