Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the LORD’s arm been revealed?
Ame kae xɔ miaƒe gbedeasi la dzi se, eye ame ka ŋue woɖe Aƒetɔ la ƒe alɔ fia ɖo?
2 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.
Edze abe atilɔ fɛ̃ ene le eŋkume, eye wòle abe ke si woɖe le anyigba ƒuƒu me la ene. Nyonyo alo fianyenye mele eŋu ne eƒe nu nanyo mia ŋu o. Naneke mele eƒe dzedzeme ŋu si awɔe be wòadzro mí o.
3 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 did not respect him.
Amewo do vloe, eye wogbee. Ŋutsu si dzi vevesese kple fukpekpe le la wònye. Ele abe ame si ta amewo tsɔ nu tsyɔ ŋkume ɖo la ene. Wodo vloe, eye míebui ɖe naneke me o.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
Ke le nyateƒe me la, eyae tsɔ míaƒe dɔlélewo, eye wòde ta míaƒe vevesesewo te, gake míebui abe ame si Mawu ƒo, eye wòtsɔ fukpekpewo da ɖe edzi la ene.
5 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.
Ke woƒo nu ɖee le míaƒe dzidadawo ta. Wogbãe gudugudu ɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Tohehe si he ŋutifafa vɛ na mí la le eya amea dzi, eye eƒe abi siwo wòxɔ la yɔ dɔ mí.
6 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.
Mí katã míetra mɔ abe alẽwo ene. Mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe lé eƒe mɔ tsɔ; ke Yehowa tsɔ mí katã ƒe nu vɔ̃wo da ɖe eya amea dzi.
7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
Wotee ɖe to, eye wòkpe fu, gake meke nu o. Wokplɔe abe alẽ ene yina wuwu ge. Ezi ɖoɖoe kpoo abe alẽ si le eƒe fukolawo ŋkume la ene, eye meke nu o.
8 He was taken away by oppression and judgment. 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?
Wolée, hedrɔ̃ ʋɔnui, eye wokplɔe dzoe. Ame ka ate ŋu aƒo nu le eƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋuti? Woɖee ɖa le agbagbeawo ƒe anyigba dzi. Le nye amewo ƒe dzidadawo ta woƒoe ɖo.
9 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.
Woɖe yɔdo nɛ ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dome, eye le eƒe ku me, wòmlɔ kesinɔtɔwo dome; evɔ mewɔ vɔ̃ aɖeke loo alo beble nɔ eƒe nu me o.
10 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.
Ke enye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu be wòagbãe gudugudu, ana wòakpe fu togbɔ be Yehowa tsɔ eƒe agbe wɔ fɔɖivɔsae hã la, akpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo. Adidi eƒe ŋkekewo ɖe edzi, eye Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃nu ava eme to eƒe asi dzi.
11 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.
Ne eƒe luʋɔ kpe fu vɔ la, akpɔ agbe ƒe kekeli, eye eƒe dzi adze eme; to enyanya me, nye dɔla dzɔdzɔe atso afia na ame geɖewo, eye wòade ta woƒe nu vɔ̃wo te,
12 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.
eya ta mana gomekpɔkpɔe le ame ŋkutawo dome. Ama afunyinuwo kple kalẽtɔwo, elabena etsɔ eƒe agbe de ku me ke, eye wowui ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo dome ene; evɔ eyae tsɔ ame geɖewo ƒe nu vɔ̃, eye wòxɔ nya ɖe vodalawo nu.
