Isaiah 53 – NIVUK & NEN

New International Version – UK

Isaiah 53:1-12

1Who has believed our message

and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2He grew up before him like a tender shoot,

and like a root out of dry ground.

He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

3He was despised and rejected by mankind,

a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.

Like one from whom people hide their faces

he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

4Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

5But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

6We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed and afflicted,

yet he did not open his mouth;

he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,

and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,

so he did not open his mouth.

8By oppression53:8 Or From arrest and judgment he was taken away.

Yet who of his generation protested?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was punished.53:8 Or generation considered / that he was cut off from the land of the living, / that he was punished for the transgression of my people?

9He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

and with the rich in his death,

though he had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,

and though the Lord makes53:10 Hebrew though you make his life an offering for sin,

he will see his offspring and prolong his days,

and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

11After he has suffered,

he will see the light of life53:11 Dead Sea Scrolls (see also Septuagint); Masoretic Text does not have the light of life. and be satisfied53:11 Or (with Masoretic Text) 11 He will see the fruit of his suffering / and will be satisfied;

by his knowledge53:11 Or by knowledge of him my righteous servant will justify many,

and he will bear their iniquities.

12Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,53:12 Or many

and he will divide the spoils with the strong,53:12 Or numerous

because he poured out his life unto death,

and was numbered with the transgressors.

For he bore the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.

na mkono wa Bwana umefunuliwa kwa nani?

253:2 Mk 9:12; Isa 52:14; 2Fal 19:26; Ay 14:7; Isa 4:2; 11:10Alikua mbele yake kama mche mwororo

na kama mzizi katika nchi kavu.

Hakuwa na uzuri wala utukufu wa kutuvutia kwake,

hakuwa na chochote katika sura yake cha kutufanya tumtamani.

353:3 Ebr 4:15; Mt 16:21; 27:29; 1Sam 2:30; Za 69:29; Kut 1:10; Lk 18:31-33Alidharauliwa na kukataliwa na wanadamu,

mtu wa huzuni nyingi, ajuaye mateso.

Kama mtu ambaye watu humficha nyuso zao,

alidharauliwa, wala hatukumhesabu kuwa kitu.

453:4 Mt 8:17; Zek 13:7; Yn 19:7; Kum 5:24; Ay 4:5; Yer 23:5-6; Eze 34:23-24; Mik 5:2Hakika alichukua udhaifu wetu

hata hivyo tulidhania kuwa amepigwa na Mungu,

akapigwa sana naye, na kuteswa.

alichubuliwa kwa ajili ya maovu yetu;

adhabu iliyotuletea sisi amani ilikuwa juu yake,

na kwa majeraha yake sisi tumepona.

653:6 Za 119:176; 1Pet 2:25Sisi sote, kama kondoo, tumepotea,

kila mmoja wetu amegeukia njia yake mwenyewe,

naye Bwana aliweka juu yake

maovu yetu sisi sote.

hata hivyo hakufungua kinywa chake;

aliongozwa kama mwana-kondoo

apelekwaye machinjoni,

kama vile kondoo anyamazavyo mbele ya wao wamkataye manyoya,

hivyo hakufungua kinywa chake.

853:8 Za 88:5; Dan 9:26; Mdo 8:32-33; Za 39:8; Mk 14:49Kwa kuonewa na kuhukumiwa aliondolewa.

Nani awezaye kueleza kuhusu kizazi chake?

Kwa maana alikatiliwa mbali na nchi ya walio hai,

alipigwa kwa ajili ya makosa ya watu wangu.

pamoja na matajiri katika kifo chake,

ingawa hakutenda jeuri,

wala hapakuwa na hila kinywani mwake.

1053:10 2Kor 5:21; Mwa 12:17; Za 22:30; Mdo 2:23; Isa 46:10; Law 5:15; Yn 3:17Lakini yalikuwa ni mapenzi ya Bwana

kumchubua na kumsababisha ateseke.

Ingawa Bwana amefanya maisha yake

kuwa sadaka ya hatia,

ataona uzao wake na kuishi siku nyingi,

nayo mapenzi ya Bwana yatafanikiwa mkononi mwake.

ataona nuru ya uzima na kuridhika;

kwa maarifa yake, mtumishi wangu mwenye haki

atawafanya wengi kuwa wenye haki,

naye atayachukua maovu yao.

naye atagawana nyara pamoja na wenye nguvu,

kwa sababu aliyamimina maisha yake hadi mauti,

naye alihesabiwa pamoja na wakosaji.

Kwa kuwa alichukua dhambi za wengi,

na kuwaombea wakosaji.
