1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Ni nani aliyesadiki habari tuliyoileta? Na mkono wa Bwana amefunuliwa nani?
2 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.
Maana alikua mbele zake kama mche mwororo, Na kama mzizi katika nchi kavu; Yeye hana umbo wala uzuri; Na tumwonapo hana uzuri hata tumtamani.
3 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.
Alidharauliwa na kukataliwa na watu; Mtu wa huzuni nyingi, ajuaye sikitiko; Na kama mtu ambaye watu humficha nyuso zao, Alidharauliwa wala hatukumhesabu kuwa kitu.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Hakika ameyachukua masikitiko yetu, Amejitwika huzuni zetu; Lakini tulimdhania ya kuwa amepigwa, Amepigwa na Mungu, na kuteswa.
5 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.
Bali alijeruhiwa kwa makosa yetu, Alichubuliwa kwa maovu yetu; Adhabu ya amani yetu ilikuwa juu yake, Na kwa kupigwa kwake sisi tumepona.
6 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.
Sisi sote kama kondoo tumepotea; Kila mmoja wetu amegeukia njia yake mwenyewe; Na Bwana ameweka juu yake Maovu yetu sisi sote.
7 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.
Alionewa, lakini alinyenyekea, Wala hakufunua kinywa chake; Kama mwana-kondoo apelekwaye machinjoni, Na kama vile kondoo anyamazavyo Mbele yao wakatao manyoya yake; Naam, hakufunua kinywa chake.
8 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.
Kwa kuonewa na kuhukumiwa aliondolewa; Na maisha yake ni nani atakayeisimulia? Maana amekatiliwa mbali na nchi ya walio hai; Alipigwa kwa sababu ya makosa ya watu wangu.
9 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.
Wakamfanyia kaburi pamoja na wabaya; Na pamoja na matajiri katika kufa kwake; Ingawa hakutenda jeuri, Wala hapakuwa na hila kinywani mwake.
10 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.
Lakini Bwana aliridhika kumchubua; Amemhuzunisha; Utakapofanya nafsi yake kuwa dhabihu kwa dhambi, Ataona uzao wake, ataishi siku nyingi, Na mapenzi ya Bwana yatafanikiwa mkononi mwake;
11 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.
Ataona mazao ya taabu ya nafsi yake, na kuridhika. Kwa maarifa yake mtumishi wangu mwenye haki Atawafanya wengi kuwa wenye haki; Naye atayachukua maovu yao.
12 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.
Kwa hiyo nitamgawia sehemu pamoja na wakuu, Naye atagawanya nyara pamoja nao walio hodari; Kwa sababu alimwaga nafsi yake hata kufa, Akahesabiwa pamoja na hao wakosao. Walakini alichukua dhambi za watu wengi, Na kuwaombea wakosaji.
