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.
During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] 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.
Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 Amaho chu akikoutovin, “Atheng, atheng, atheng chu Vantilte Pakai chu ahi! Leiset pumpi hi aloupinan adimsoh-e!” atiuvin ahi.
They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
4 Langei loupitah chun Houin chu akhombul lam chan geiyin ahotlinglha jeng ta’n, hichun amuntheng chu meikhun atom jeng tai.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with 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.
Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
6 Chuin alah-uva khat chun maicham phunga kon’a songmeihol am khat chaichea ache chu hin choipumin kahenglam jonin ahung lengpheiyin ahi.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 Meiam chun kanephu ade-in, “Ven, hiche meiam hin nanephuteni asukhatai. Tuhin nathemmona akisubeitan, nachonsetna akingaidam tai,” atiin ahi.
and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
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.
Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. 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,
Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
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.
[What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
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;
Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
12 Pakaiyin Israel mite gamlataha anomanga chuleh Israel gam pumpi khogemnung ahisohhel kahse hiding ahi.
[Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
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.
If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
