Isaiah

53

1¶ Ko wai i whakapono ki ta matou korero; i whakaaturia ranei ki a wai te ringaringa o Ihowa?
1Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?
2Ka tupu ake hoki ia ki tona aroaro, ano he rakau wana, me te pakiaka hoki i te oneone maroke, kahore ona ahuareka, kahore hoki he pai; a ka titiro tatou ki a ia, te ai he ataahua e minamina ai tatou ki a ia.
2For 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.
3I whakahengia, i whakakahoretia ia e te tangata; he tangata pouri, kua mohio hoki ki te tangi: a, i ahua huna nga kanohi ki a ia; i whakakahoretia, kihai hoki tatou i whakaaro ki a ia.
3He 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.
4¶ He pono, nana o tatou mate i pikau, nana hoki i waha o tatou pouri: ko tatou ia i mea, i tukitukia, i patua ia e te Atua, i whakawhiua.
4Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.
5Kahore, i werohia ia mo o tatou he, i kurua mo o tatou kino: nona te whiunga i mau ai to tatou rongo, kei ona karawarawa hoki he rongoa mo tatou.
5But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.
6Ko tatou katoa, ano he hipi, kua marara ke, kua anga atu tatou ki tona ara, ki tona ara; na Ihowa ia i mea kia tau iho ki a ia te kino o tatou katoa.
6All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7I tukinotia ia, i whakawhiua; heoi kihai i kuihi tona mangai: ano he reme i arahina ia kia patua, me te hipi hoki i te aroaro o ona kaikutikuti e wahangu ana, kihai i kuihi tona waha.
7He 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 mute, so he didn’t open his mouth.
8Na te tukino, na te whakawa, tangohia atu ana ia; tena ko tona whakatupuranga, ko wai o ratou i whakaaro kua wehea atu ia i te ao ora? he mahi he hoki na taku iwi i patua ai ia.
8He was taken away by oppression and judgment; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
9A ka whakaritea hei te hunga kino he urupa mona; i te tangata taonga ia i tona matenga; ahakoa kahore ana mahi tutu, kahore ano he tinihanga i tona mangai.
9They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10¶ Otiia i pai hoki a Ihowa kia kurua ia; nana ia i mea kia mamae. Ina meinga e koe tona wairua hei whakahere mo te he, ka kite ia i tona uri, ka whakaroa i ona ra, a ko ta Ihowa i pai ai ka ata oti i a ia.
10Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand.
11Ka kite ia i ta tona wairua i uaua ai, a tatu ana te ngakau: ma te mohio ki a ia ka whakatikaia ai te tini e taku pononga tika; mana hoki o ratou kino e waha.
11After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.
12Mo reira ka hoatu e ahau he wahi mona i roto i o te hunga nui, a ka tu ngatahi ia me te hunga kaha i te taonga: mo tona wairua i ringihia e ia ki te mate, a i taua ngatahitia me nga poka ke; nana hoki nga hara o te tini i waha, nana i wawao nga poka ke.
12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
