Isaiah 6
1 Lengpa Uzziah thi kum chun keiman Pakai kanamu’n ahi. Ama chu laltouna kikhangsang chungah atouvin, alal pon kailha chun houin sung alodimsoh-e.
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 Ama jenleho chu thahattah seraphim, lhaving gup cheh nei ahiuve. Alhavingu nia chun amaiyu akhuvin, nia chun akengu akhuvin, nia chun alengun ahi.
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 Amaho chu akikoutovin, “Atheng, atheng, atheng chu Vantilte Pakai chu ahi! Leiset pumpi hi aloupinan adimsoh-e!” atiuvin ahi.
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 Langei loupitah chun Houin chu akhombul lam chan geiyin ahotlinglha jeng ta’n, hichun amuntheng chu meikhun atom jeng tai.
And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
5 Hichun keiman, “Ohe! Suhmanga umding kahitai, ijeh-inem iti leh keima michonse kahi’n, sapset nammite laha khat kahi. Ahinla keiman Lengpa, Pakai Hatchungnung chu kamutai!” katitan ahi.
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 Chuin alah-uva khat chun maicham phunga kon’a songmeihol am khat chaichea ache chu hin choipumin kahenglam jonin ahung lengpheiyin ahi.
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 Meiam chun kanephu ade-in, “Ven, hiche meiam hin nanephuteni asukhatai. Tuhin nathemmona akisubeitan, nachonsetna akingaidam tai,” atiin ahi.
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 Chuin Pakaiyin thudoh ahinbolin, “Kamite henga thulhut dinga koi kasol ding ham? Keiho dinga koi chediham?” ahin titai. Hichun keiman, “Pakai, keima che’nge! neisolin,” katitai.
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 Aman aseiyin, “Henge, che’n. Hinla kamite komah: Kathu najah diu, ahivanga nahetlou diu. Kathilbol namudiu, ahivanga ipi avetsah ham nahetdohlou diu ahi,’ tiin gaseipehtan,
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 Hiche mite hi alungu sutah-in. Anakhangu huhbitnin lang amit’nu chosah-in. Chutileh amahon amitteniuva amulou diu, anakhanguva ajahlou diu, alungthimuva ahettheilou diu chuteng adamnadiuva kahenglama hung kihei diu ahi,” ati.
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 Hichun keiman, “Pakai, ichan gei hitia chu kabol ding ham?” kati leh, Ama’n eidonbutnin, “Akhopihou khat jeng jong hoidohlouva achimlhuhsoh gam kahse le ainnhou dalhah-a aumsoh takah chuleh agam’u ahomkeo ahisoh kahse;
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 Pakaiyin Israel mite gamlataha anomanga chuleh Israel gam pumpi khogemnung ahisohhel kahse hiding ahi.
And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
13 Chuleh mi som jengcha — akidalha — asohcha aumjongleh kibulu kit’na kihallhahbe kit ding ahi. Israel chu thingkungbul, aphung kitanbong tobang hiding, ahivanga akungbul chu muchi theng hintin hung khangdoh kit ding ahi,” ati.
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!”
