1
Ni nani aliyesadiki habari tuliyoileta? Na mkono wa Bwana amefunuliwa nani?
Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2
Maana alikua mbele zake kama mche mwororo, Na kama mzizi katika nchi kavu; Yeye hana umbo wala uzuri; Na tumwonapo hana uzuri hata tumtamani.
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no stately form or majesty to attract us, no beauty that we should desire Him.
3
Alidharauliwa na kukataliwa na watu; Mtu wa huzuni nyingi, ajuaye sikitiko; Na kama mtu ambaye watu humficha nyuso zao, Alidharauliwa wala hatukumhesabu kuwa kitu.
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.
4
Hakika ameyachukua masikitiko yetu, Amejitwika huzuni zetu; Lakini tulimdhania ya kuwa amepigwa, Amepigwa na Mungu, na kuteswa.
Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows; yet we considered Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.
5
Bali alijeruhiwa kwa makosa yetu, Alichubuliwa kwa maovu yetu; Adhabu ya amani yetu ilikuwa juu yake, Na kwa kupigwa kwake sisi tumepona.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
6
Sisi sote kama kondoo tumepotea; Kila mmoja wetu amegeukia njia yake mwenyewe; Na Bwana ameweka juu yake Maovu yetu sisi sote.
We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.
7
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.
He 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 her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.
8
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.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away, and who can recount His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living; He was stricken for the transgression of My people.
9
Wakamfanyia kaburi pamoja na wabaya; Na pamoja na matajiri katika kufa kwake; Ingawa hakutenda jeuri, Wala hapakuwa na hila kinywani mwake.
He was assigned a 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.
10
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;
Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand.
11
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.
After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.
12
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.
Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
