Esias 53
1 O Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
Hena na wagye yɛn asɛm no adi? na Awurade abasa no, hena so na ada adi?
2 We brought a report as [of] a child before him; [he is] as a root in a thirsty land: he has no form nor comeliness; and we saw him, but he had no form nor beauty.
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.
3 But his form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; [he was] a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for his face is turned from [us]: he was dishonored, and not esteemed.
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.
4 He bears our sins, and is pained for us: yet we accounted him to be in trouble, and in suffering, and in affliction.
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.
5 But he was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; [and] by his bruises we were healed.
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.
6 All we as sheep have gone astray; every one has gone astray in his way; and the Lord gave him up for our sins.
Yɛn nyinaa ayerayera te sɛ nguan, yɛn mu biara afa ne kwan; na Awurade de yɛn nyinaa amumɔyɛ ato no so.
7 And he, because of his affliction, opens not his mouth: he was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.
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.
8 In [his] humiliation his judgment was taken away: who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth: because of the iniquities of my people he was led to death.
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.
9 And I will give the wicked for his burial, and the rich for his death; for he practised no iniquity, nor craft with his mouth.
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.
10 The Lord also is pleased to purge him from his stroke. If you can give an offering for sin, your soul shall see a long-lived seed:
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.
11 the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of his soul, to show him light, and to form [him] with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and he shall bear their sins.
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.
12 Therefore he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty; because his soul was delivered to death: and he was numbered among the transgressors; and he bore the sins of many, and was delivered because of their iniquities.
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.
