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.

² Zama Rabbi tamo ga beeri a jine sanda zaymi taji, Sanda kaaji kaŋ ga fun laabu kogo ra. A sinda himandi hanno fo, a gunayaŋ mo si kaan. Waati kaŋ iri n'a guna a sinda boori fo nga gaa kaŋ ga naŋ iri ma ba r'a.

²For he grew 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 see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

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.

³ A ciya donda-caray hari, furuyaŋ hari no borey se. Bine saraykoy no kaŋ doona doori, I dond'a sanda boro kaŋ gaa borey na mo kaa, Iri mo man'a himandi hay kulu.

³He was despised, and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and as one from whom men hide their face he was despised; and we esteemed him not.

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

⁴ Daahir iri doorey ciya a se jaraw, A n'iri bine sarayey sambu mo. Amma iri n'a lasaabu sanda karante, Irikoy goobo baa, taabi hanko no.

⁴Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

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.

⁵ Amma iri murteyaŋey sabbay se no a maray, A mortu iri zunubey sabbay se, Goojiyaŋo kaŋ ga kande iri se laakal kanay go a boŋ, A goobu haŋyaŋo mo na iri no baani.

⁵But 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.

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.

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

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.

⁷ I n'a gurzugandi k'a taabandi, Kulu nda yaadin a mana nga meyo fiti. Sanda feej'ize kaŋ i ga konda ka wi, Wala sanda feeji nya kaŋ go ga dangay nga hamni hõsekoy jine, Yaadin cine no a mana nga meyo fiti.

⁷He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

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?

⁸ Kankami da cimi ciiti jaŋay no i daŋ k'a hibandi. A zamana borey ra binde, May no ka lasaabu ka bay kaŋ i n'a waasu ka kaa fundikooney laabo ra? May no ka lasaabu kaŋ ay jama murteyaŋey sabbay se no i n'a kar.

⁸By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who [among them] considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke [was due]?

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.

⁹And they 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.

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.

¹⁰ Amma a kaan Rabbi se nga m'a maray, A na azaaba dake a boŋ. Waati kaŋ a g'a fundo ciya sargay zunubi se, A ga di nga bandey, a ga nga jirbey kuukandi, Rabbi miila mo ga te albarka a kambe ra.

¹⁰Yet it pleased Jehovah 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 Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.

¹¹He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of himself shall my righteous servant justify many; and he shall bear their iniquities.

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.

¹² Woodin sabbay se no ay g'a no nga baa boro beerey banda. A ga arzaka fay mo gaabikooney banda. Zama a na nga fundo nooyandi hal a to buuyaŋ gaa. I n'a lasaabu taali-teerey banda, Kulu nda yaadin a na boro boobo zunubi jare, A gaara mo taali-teerey se.

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 unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors: yet he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
