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 of the death of King Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling 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.
Seraphim are standing above it: each one has six wings; with two [each] covers its face, and with two [each] covers its feet, and with two [each] flies.
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 this one has called to that, and has said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
4 A khue ol ah cingkhaa te dong khat phoek tih, a im ah hmaikhu baetawt.
And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of 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.
And I say, “Woe to me, for I have been silent, For I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I am dwelling in [the] midst of a people of unclean lips, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen.”
6 Te vaengah Serap taeng lamkah paktat te kai taengla ha ding tih a kut dongkah paitaeh neh hmueihtuk dong lamkah hmaitak a loh.
And one of the seraphim flees to me, and in his hand—a burning coal (with tongs he has taken [it] from off the altar),
7 Te phoeiah ka ka te hang kolh tih, “Na hmuilai te a kolh coeng he ne. Nang kathaesainah te a khoe tih, na tholhnah khaw a dawth coeng,” a ti.
and he strikes against my mouth and says: “Behold, this has struck against your lips, And your iniquity is turned aside, And your sin is covered.”
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 hear the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom do I send? And who goes for Us?” And I say, “Here I [am], 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 says, “Go, and you have said to this people, Hearing you hear, and you do not understand, And seeing you see, and you do not know.
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.
Declare the heart of this people fat, And declare its ears heavy, And declare its eyes dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And hear with its ears, and consider with its heart, And it has turned back, and has health.”
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.
And I say, “Until when, O Lord?” And He says, “Surely until cities have been ruined without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground is ruined—a desolation,
12 BOEIPA loh hlang te a lakhla sak tih khohmuen laklo kah a hnoo mah yet coeng.
And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart 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 yet a tenth in it, and it has turned, And has been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Has substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!”
