¹Ndianiko akatenda zvatakaparidzirwa? Ruoko rwaJehovha rwakaratidzwa kuna ani?

¹Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Yahweh been revealed?

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

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.

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

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.

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

⁴Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted.

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

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.

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

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.

⁷Akamanikidzwa,akarohwa, kunyange zvakadaro haana kushamisa muromo wake;akauyiswa segwayana rinoiswa kundobayiwa uye segwai pamberi pavavevuri varo,akanyarara, saizvozvo haana kushamisa muromo wake.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

¹¹After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light So read the Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint. Masoretic Text omits “the light”. and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

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

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.
