Isaiah 53

1 Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Adonai been revealed?

Ko hai kuo ne tui ki he ʻemau ongoongo? Pea kuo fakahā kia hai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova?

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.

He te ne tupu hake ʻi hono ʻao ʻo hangē ko e ʻakau matengofua, pea hangē ko e aka mei he kelekele mōmoa: ʻoku ʻikai ha sino lelei pe ha toulekeleka ʻiate ia, pea ka tau ka mamata kiate ia, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakaʻofoʻofa ke tau manako ai kiate ia.

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 didn’t respect him.

‌ʻOku fehiʻanekina ia pea liʻaki ʻe he tangata; ko e tangata ʻoe ngaahi mamahi, pea maheni ai mo e loto mamahi: pea hangē naʻa tau fufū hotau mata meiate ia; kuo manuki ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te tau tokanga kiate ia.

4 Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

Ko e moʻoni kuo ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi vaivai, ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahi: ka naʻa tau mahalo kuo tautea mo taaʻi ia mei he ʻOtua, pea mamahiʻia.

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 stripes and wounds we are healed and made whole.

Ka naʻe lavea ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi angahala, naʻe fakavolu ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi hia: naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tautea koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie; pea ʻi hono ngaahi tā ʻoku tau moʻui ai.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Adonai has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Kuo tau hē kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi; kuo tau afe taki taha kotoa pē ki hono hala; pea kuo hilifaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ʻae hia ʻatautolu kotoa pē.

7 He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he didn’t open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he didn’t open his mouth.

Naʻe fakamālohia, pea naʻe mamahi ia, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne mafaʻa hono fofonga: ʻoku tataki ia ʻo hangē ko e lami ke tāmateʻi, pea hangē ko e sipi ʻoku noa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tangata kosi, pea naʻe ʻikai mafaʻa hono fofonga.

8 After forcible arrest and sentencing, he was taken away; and none of his generation protested his being cut off out of the land of the living for the crimes of my people, who deserved the punishment themselves.

Naʻe ʻave ia mei he fale fakapōpula, pea mei he fakamaau: pea ko hai te ne fakahā hono tupuʻanga? He naʻe tuʻusi ia mei he fonua ʻoe moʻui: naʻe teʻia ia koeʻuhi ko e angahala ʻa hoku kakai.

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.

Pea naʻe tuʻutuʻuni hono tanuʻanga mo e kakai angahala, pea fakataha mo e maʻumeʻa ʻi heʻene pekia; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne fai kovi, pea naʻe ʻikai ha kākā ʻi hono fofonga.

10 Yet it pleased Adonai to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. To see if he would present himself as a guilt offering. If he does, he will see his offspring, and he will prolong his days, and Adonai’s pleasure will prosper in his hand.

Ka naʻe finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakavolu ia; kuo ne tuku kiate ia ʻae mamahi: ʻoka ke ka ngaohi hono laumālie ko e feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e hia, te ne mamata ki hono hako, te ne fakatolotolonga hono ngaahi ʻaho, pea ko e finangalo ʻo Sihova ʻe monūʻia ia ʻi hono nima.

11 After this ordeal, he will see satisfaction “By his knowing [pain and sacrifice]. My righteous servant will justify many; for it is their sins that he suffers.

He te ne vakai ki he fua ʻoe mamahi lahi ʻo hono laumālie, pea fiemālie ai ia: ʻi he ʻilo kiate ia ʻe fakatonuhia ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki māʻoniʻoni ʻae tokolahi; he te ne fua ʻenau ngaahi hia.

12 Therefore will I give him a portion with the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong; because he exposed himself to death, and was counted with the transgressors; while actually bearing the sin of many, and interceding for the offenders.

Ko ia te u vaheʻi kiate ia ha ʻinasi fakataha mo e kakai ongoongo, pea te ne vahevahe ʻae koloa fakataha mo e kakai mālohi; koeʻuhi naʻa ne lilingi hono laumālie ki he mate: pea naʻe lau ia fakataha mo e kau angahala; pea naʻa ne fua ʻae hia ʻoe toko lahi, pea ne hūfekina ʻae kakai angahala.
