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 that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled 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 stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 Amaho chu akikoutovin, “Atheng, atheng, atheng chu Vantilte Pakai chu ahi! Leiset pumpi hi aloupinan adimsoh-e!” atiuvin ahi.
One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 Langei loupitah chun Houin chu akhombul lam chan geiyin ahotlinglha jeng ta’n, hichun amuntheng chu meikhun atom jeng tai.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house 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, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Armies!”
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 seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 Meiam chun kanephu ade-in, “Ven, hiche meiam hin nanephuteni asukhatai. Tuhin nathemmona akisubeitan, nachonsetna akingaidam tai,” atiin ahi.
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
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.
I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “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,
He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
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.
Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”
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, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
12 Pakaiyin Israel mite gamlataha anomanga chuleh Israel gam pumpi khogemnung ahisohhel kahse hiding ahi.
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within 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.
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
