Isaiah 6
1 Manghai Uzziah a duek kum ah pomsang ngolkhoel dongah Boeipa te ngol tih a pomsang ka hmuh. Te vaengah a hnihmoi loh bawkim te a khuk.
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 Anih te a soah Seraph rhoek loh a pai thil. Seraph te khat ben ah a phae parhuk, khat ben ah a phae parhuk om tih, panit neh a maelhmai a khuk, panit neh a kho a dah tih panit neh ding.
Above him stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 Te phoeiah he lamkah neh tekah te a khue tih, “Caempuei BOEIPA kah a cim, a cim, a cim, a thangpomnah loh diklai pum ah khawk,” a ti.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 A khue ol ah cingkhaa te dong khat phoek tih, a im ah hmaikhu baetawt.
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Te vaengah, “Anunae kai aih he, ka hmuilai rhalawt neh hlang lamloh ka hmata. Pilnam hmuilai rhalawt lakli ah ka kho ka sak dae ka mik loh Caempuei manghai BOEIPA a hmuh,” ka ti.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
6 Te vaengah Seraph taeng lamkah pakhat te kai taengla ha ding tih a kut dongkah paitaeh neh hmueihtuk dong lamkah hmaitak a loh.
Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 Te phoeiah ka ka te hang kolh tih, “Na hmuilai te a kolh coeng he ne. Nang kah thaesainah te a khoe tih, na tholhnah khaw a dawth coeng,” a ti.
and he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.
8 Te phoeiah ka Boeipa ol te ka yaak tih, “Ulae ka tueih vetih mamih ham ulae aka cet eh,” a ti. Te dongah, “Kai kamah he n'tueih,” ka ti nah.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me.
9 Te phoeiah, “Cet lamtah pilnam te thui pah, a yaak tah na yaak uh dae na yakming uh pawh. Na hmuh tah na hmuh uh dae na hmat uh pawh.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Pilnam lungbuei mawt he, a hna bing tih a mik a buem. A mik neh hmuh tih a hna neh ya lah ve. A thinko loh a yakming tih mael koinih amah te hoeih uh sue,” a ti.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.
11 Te dongah, “Aw Boeipa, me hil nim?” ka ti nah. Te vaengah, “Khopuei rhoek te sop uh tih khosa a om pawt duela, im te hlang om pawt vetih khohmuen khaw khopong la a pong hil.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,
12 BOEIPA loh hlang te a lakhla sak tih khohmuen laklo kah a hnoo mah yet coeng.
and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.
13 A khuiah hlop rha hlop at om bal cakhaw a balang thil vetih rhokael bangla, thingnu thingbung dongah a alh bangla om ni. A ngo te a ngo cim kah tiingan la om ni,” a ti.
And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they are felled; so the holy seed is the stock thereof.
