¹Ndianiko akatenda zvatakaparidzirwa? Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakaratidzwa kuna ani?

¹Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed?

²nekuti akamera pamberi pake sebukira, nyoro, somudzi unobuda pavhu rakaoma; haane chimiro kana umambo; kana tichimuona, haana kunaka kuti timude.

²Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him.

³Akazvidzwa, nekuraswa navanhu, munhu wokurwadziwa, akaziva urwere, somunhu anovanzirwa navanhu zviso zvavo; akazvidzwa nesu hatina kumukudza.

³He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.

⁴Zvirokwazvo, akatakura matenda edu, nokusimudza kurwadziwa kwedu; asi isu takati akatambudzwa, akarohwa naMwari nokumanikidzwa.

⁴Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains — he hath carried them, And we — we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵Asi akakuvadzwa nokuda kokudarika kwedu, akarwadziwa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvedu; kurohwa kwakativigira rugare kwakanga kuri pamusoro pake, takaporeswa namavanga ake.

⁵And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us.

⁶Isu tose samakwai, takanga takarasika , takatsauka mumwe nomumwe nenzira yake; uye Jehovha akaisa pamusoro pake kuipa kwedu tose.

⁶All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment 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.

⁷It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth.

⁸Akabviswa pakumanikidzwa napakutongwa, ndianiko angaparidza zera rake? nekuti akagurwa akabviswa panyika yavapenyu? Nokuda kokudarika kwavanhu vangu; akarohwa.

⁸By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued,

⁹Akaita guva rake pamwechete navakaipa, akava navamufumi pakufa kwake, nekuti haana kuita chisakarurama, kunyengera hakuna kuwanikwa mumuromo make.

⁹And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor [is] deceit in his mouth.

¹⁰Asi kwaiva kuda kwaJehovha kuti apwanyiwe; wakamurwadzisa; ipapo uchaita mweya wake chibairo chezvivi, achaona zvibereko zvake, achawedzera mazuva ake, zvinodikamwa naJehovha zvichabudirira muruoko rwake.

¹⁰And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed — he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper.

¹¹Achaona zvaakatamburira nomweya wake, akagutiswa; nokuziva kwake muranda wangu akarurama acharuramisira vazhinji; achatakura zvakaipa zvavo.

¹¹Of the labour of his soul he seeth — he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear.

¹²Saka ndichamuganhurira mugove pamwechete navakuru, achagoverana zvakapambwa navane simba; nekuti akadurura mweya wake kukufa, akaverengwa pamwechete navadariki; uye akatakura chivi chavazhinji, akanyengeterera vadariki.

¹²Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.
