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.
Seraphs are standing above it: six wings hath each one; with two [each] covereth its face, and with two [each] covereth its feet, and with two [each] flieth.
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 hath called unto that, and hath said: 'Holy, Holy, Holy, [is] Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness 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 a man — unclean of lips [am] I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes 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 flee unto me doth one of the seraphs, and in his hand a burning coal, (with tongs he hath 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 striketh against my mouth, and saith: 'Lo, this hath stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity, And thy 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 doth go for Us?' And I say, '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 saith, 'Go, and thou hast said to this people, Hear ye — to hear, and ye do not understand, And see ye — to see, and ye 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 fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath turned back, and hath 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, 'Till when, O Lord?' And He saith, 'Surely till cities have been wasted without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground be wasted — a desolation,
12 BOEIPA loh hlang te a lakhla sak tih khohmuen laklo kah a hnoo mah yet coeng.
And Jehovah hath put man far off, And great [is] the forsaken part 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 in it a tenth, and it hath turned, And hath been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Have substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!'
