Isaya 53

¹Ndianiko akatenda zvatakaparidzirwa? Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakaratidzwa kuna ani?Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

²Nokuti akamera pamberi pake sebukira, nyoro, somudzi unobuda pavhu rakaoma; haane chimiro kana umambo; kana tichimuona, haana kunaka kuti timude.For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

³Akazvidzwa, nokuraswa navanhu, munhu wokurwadziwa, akaziva urwere, somunhu anovanzirwa navanhu zviso zvavo; akazvidzwa nesu hatina kumukudza.He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴Zvirokwazvo, akatakura matenda edu, nokusimudza kurwadziwa kwedu; asi isu takati akatambudzwa, akarohwa naMwari nokumanikidzwa.Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵Asi akakuvadzwa nokuda kwokudarika kwedu, akarwadziwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvedu; kurohwa kwakativigira rugare kwakanga kuri pamusoro pake, takaporeswa namavanga ake.But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶Isu tose samakwai, takanga takarasika , takatsauka mumwe nomumwe nenzira yake; vuye Jehovha akaisa pamusoro pake kuipa kwedu tose.All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

⁷Akamanikidzwa,akarohwa, kunyange zvakadaro haana kushamisa muromo wake;akauyiswa segwayana rinoiswa kundobayiwa uye segwai pamberi pavavevuri varo,akanyarara, saizvozvo haana kushamisa muromo wake.He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

⁸Akabviswa pakumanikidzwa napakutongwa, ndianiko angaparidza zera rake? nokuti akagurwa akabviswa panyika yavapenyu? Nokuda kwokudarika kwavanhu vangu; akarohwa.He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

⁹Akaita bwiro bwake pamwechete navakaipa, akava navamufumi pakufa kwake, nokuti haana kuita chisakarurama, kunyengera hakuna kuwanikwa mumuromo make.And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰Asi kwaiva kuda kwaJehovha kuti apwanyiwe; wakamurwadzisa; ipapo uchaita mweya wake chibairo chezvivi, achaona zvibereko zvake, achawedzera mazuva ake, zvinodikanwa naJehovha zvichabudirira muruoko rwake.Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹Achaona zvaakatamburira nomweya wake, akagutiswa; nokuziva kwake muranda wangu akarurama acharuramisira vazhinji; achatakura zvakaipa zvavo.He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

¹²Saka ndichamuganhurira mugove pamwechete navakuru, achagoverana zvakapambwa navane simba; nokuti akadurura mweya wake kukufa, akaverengwa pamwechete navadariki; uye akatakura chivi chavazhinji, akanyengeterera vadariki.Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
