< Isaya 6 >

1 E higano mane Ruoth Uzia othoe, naneno Ruoth Nyasaye kobet e kom duongʼ motingʼore malo kendo omi luor, ka tiend lawe opongʼo hekalu.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated in majesty on a high throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.
2 E wiye malo malaike miluongoni serafi ochungʼe kamoro ka moro nigi bwombe auchiel ka bwombe ariyo giumogo wengegi, to bwombe ariyo mamako giumogo tiendegi, to bwombe ariyo modongʼ gihuyogo.
Seraphim stood above him, and each of them had six wings: They used two wings to cover their faces, two to cover their feet, and two to fly.
3 Negiluongore moro ka moro kagiwacho ni: “Maler, Maler, Maler en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego; piny duto opongʼ gi duongʼne.”
They were calling out to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; his glory fills the whole earth.
4 E seche mane dwondgi kok kamano, mise mag dhoudi ne yiengni kendo hekalu ne opongʼ kod iro.
The sound of their shouts made the doorposts and doorsteps shake, and the Temple was filled with smoke.
5 Ne aywak niya, “mano kaka lit! Arumo chuth! Nimar an ngʼat ma dhoge wacho gik ma ok ler kendo adak e kind joma wechegi ochido, eka an to aseneno Ruoth, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego gi wangʼa awuon.”
I cried out, “I'm doomed! I'm going to die because I'm a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, for I've seen the King, the Lord Almighty!”
6 Eka achiel kuom malaike miluongo ni serafi nohuyo mochopo buta kotingʼo mach e lwete, mosegolo gi ramaki e kendo mar misango.
Then one of the seraphim flew over to me. He was holding a glowing coal that he had picked up with tongs from the altar.
7 Nokawo gino momulogo dhoga mi owacho niya, “Ne, koro asemulo lewi, mi kethoni oseweni kendo richoni osepwodhi.”
He touched me on my mouth with it and told me, “Look! This has touched your lips, so now your guilt is taken away and your sin is forgiven.”
8 Eka ne awinjo dwond Ruoth Nyasaye kapenjo niya, “Ere ngʼama abiro oro? Koso en ngʼa monego odhinwa?” Kendo ne adwoko niya, “Eri antie, ora!”
Then I heard the Lord asking, “Who shall I send? Who will go and speak for us?” So I said, “I'm here! Please send me!”
9 Eka nowacho niya, “Dhiyo kendo iwachne jogi kama: “‘Ubiro siko kuwinjo weche miwacho to wach ok nodonjnu ngangʼ; ubiro siko kungʼicho, to ok unune gimoro.’
He replied, “Go and tell this people: ‘Keep on listening, but never understanding. Keep on seeing, but never comprehending.’
10 Ket chuny jogi obed modhil, kendo mi itgi dinre ma ok winj wach, bende wengegi obed ma ok nen. Nono to dipo ka wengegi oneno, kendo itgi owinjo wach, kendo mi chunygi ofwenyo tiend weche, mi gilokre ma chang-gi.”
Make the minds of this people insensitive; make their ears deaf and shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their minds, and repent and be healed.”
11 Eka napenjo niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, mano notimre nyaka karangʼo?” Kendo nodwoko niya, “Nyaka chop mier madongo ruombre piny madongʼ gunda maonge joma odakie, bende mi udi ma ji odakie ojwangʼ kendo puothe duto kethre mi jwangʼ-gi,
Then I asked, “How long will this last, Lord?” He replied, “Until towns are ruined and empty, houses are abandoned, and the land is devastated and destroyed;
12 bende nyaka ndalo ma Jehova Nyasaye oriemboe ji duto mabor ma piny odongʼ malich ka gunda.
until the Lord sends the people far away and the country is totally deserted.
13 Kata bedni achiel kuom apar mar jogi nodongʼ e piny, to gin bende notiekgi pep. To mana kaka yiende mag ngʼowu kod yiend ober motongʼ mowe osiki loth, kamano e kaka jo-Nyasaye mabiro dongʼ e piny nochal gosikino.”
Even though a tenth of the population remains in the land, it will be destroyed again. But in the same way as the terebinth and oak trees leave stumps when they're cut down, so the holy seed will remain as stump.”
