Isaiah 53

1 Mamih kah olthang aka tangnah te unim? BOEIPA kah a ban u taengah nim a phoe.

Has anyone believed our news? Who has the Lord shown his power to?

2 Tedae a mikhmuh ah cahni banglam khaw rhamrhae diklai lamkah thing yung bangla rhoeng. Anih te a suisak om pawt tih rhuepomnah om pawh. Anih te m'hmuh vaengah a mueimae a om pawt dongah nim anih te n'nai uh eh.

Like a young shoot he grew up before him, like a root growing up from dry ground. He had no beauty or glory to make us look at him; nothing about his appearance attracted us to him.

3 A hnaep uh tih hlang kah a hnawt a khoe la poeh. Nganboh aka yook hlang neh tloh aka ming la om. A maelhmai aka hlip bangla a hnaep dongah anih te n'nawtna uh pawh.

People despised him and rejected him. He was a man who really suffered and who experienced the deepest pain. We treated him like someone you turn away from in disgust—we despised him and had no respect for him.

4 Mamih kah tlohtat te amah loh a phueih tih mamih kah nganboh te khaw a tloeng thil. Tedae kaimih loh anih te Pathen kah a ben neh a ngawn tih a phaep la m'poek uh.

However, he was the one who carried our weaknesses, he was loaded down with our pain—but we assumed he was being hit, beaten, and humiliated by God.

5 Mamih boekoek dongah anih poeih uh. Mamih kathaesainah kongah anih te a phop. Mamih kah rhoepnah ham thuituennah te anih dongla cul. A boengha loh mamih he n'hoeih sak.

But he was wounded because of our rebellious acts, he was crushed because of our guilt. He experienced the discipline that brings us peace, and his wounds heal us.

6 Mamih boeih he tu bangla kho m'hmang uh. Hlang long he amah mah kah khosing la n'hooi uh coeng. Te dongah mamih boeih kathaesainah te BOEIPA loh anih pum dongah a hong.

All of us have wandered off, just like sheep. Each of us has gone our own way, and the Lord allowed all our guilt to fall on him.

7 Anih a tueihno tih a phaep dae maeh la a khuen boiva bangla a ka ang pawh. Tumanu bangla a mul aka vok pah mikhmuh ah tum uh tih a ka ang pawh.

He was persecuted and mistreated, but he didn't say anything. He was led like a lamb to be killed, and in the same way that a sheep about to be sheared is silent, he didn't say a word.

8 Thongtla neh laitloeknah dongah a khuen. A thawnpuei te unim aka lolmang eh? Ka pilnam kah boekoek neh amih kah tloh kongah anih vik te mulhing khohmuen lamloh a hlap.

Through force and a death sentence he was killed—who cared what happened to him? He was executed, removed from the land of the living; he was killed because of my people's wickedness.

9 Kuthlahnah te saii pawt tih a ka dongah thailatnah khaw om pawt. Te dae a phuel te halang rhoek taengla, a dueknah te hlanglen taengla a khueh pah.

They buried him as if he was someone evil, giving him a grave among the rich, even though he hadn't done anything wrong, and he hadn't told any lies.

10 Anih loh a phop ham neh a nue ham khaw BOEIPA loh a ngaih. A hinglu he moeithennah la a khueh dongah a tiingan te khohnin a sen a hmuh ni. BOEIPA kah kutnaep vanbangla anih kut dongah a thaihtak sak ni.

However, it was the Lord's will for him to be crushed and to suffer, for when he gives his life as a guilt offering he will see his descendants, he will have a long life, and what the Lord wants will be achieved through him.

11 A hinglu loh thakthaenah a hmuh vetih, a mingnah khaw cung ni. Ka sal kah duengnah loh muep a tang sak vetih, amih kathaesainah khaw amah loh a phueih pah ni.

After his suffering, he will see the results and be satisfied. Through his knowledge my servant who does what is right will set many right, and he will bear their sins.

12 Te dongah anih ham hlangping lakli ah boe ka soep pah vetih, kutbuem a len la ka hmoel pahni. Anih long tah a hinglu te dueknah ham a kingling tih, boekoek rhoek neh a tae thil. Amah loh hlangping kah tholhnah te a phueih tih boekoek rhoek ham khaw a hloep pah.

That's why I'm going to grant him a place among the great, and give him the prize of the victorious, because he poured out his life in death and was counted as one of the rebels. He took on himself the sins of many and asked forgiveness for the rebels.
