Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Mũthamaki Uzia aakuire-rĩ, nĩguo ndonire Mwathani aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, kĩrĩ igũrũ na gĩtũũgĩrĩtio, nayo nguo yake yaiyũrĩte hekarũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa yaraihĩte.
2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Igũrũ wake kwarũgamĩte aserafi, na o mũserafi ũmwe aarĩ na mathagu matandatũ: nao makehumbĩra mothiũ mao na mathagu meerĩ, namo meerĩ makehumbĩra magũrũ namo, na meerĩ makombũka namo.
3 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory.
Nao metanaga makerana atĩrĩ: “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe mũtheru, ĩĩ nĩwe mũtheru, ti-itherũ nĩwe mũtheru; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ riiri wake.”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who cried, and the house was filled with vapor.
Nĩ ũndũ wa mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao, itugĩ cia mĩrango na hingĩro ciaguo ikĩenyenya, nayo hekarũ ĩkĩiyũra ndogo.
5 Then I said, Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. For my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
Na niĩ ngĩanĩrĩra ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ndĩĩgũthira! Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũndũ wa mĩromo ĩtarĩ mĩtheru, o na ningĩ ndũũranagia na andũ matarĩ mĩromo mĩtheru, na maitho makwa nĩmonete Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.”
6 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũserafi ũmwe akĩũmbũka, agĩũka harĩ niĩ akuuĩte ikara rĩa mwaki na guoko, rĩrĩa aarutĩte na mĩĩhato kĩgongona-inĩ.
7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.
Mũserafi ũcio akĩĩhutia kanua na ikara rĩu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ikara rĩrĩ nĩrĩahutia mĩromo yaku, mahĩtia maku nĩmeherio, o namo mehia maku nĩmahoroherio.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Lo, send me.
Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa Mwathani ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ngũtũma? Na nũũ ũgũthiĩ handũ haitũ?” Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha. Ndũma!”
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but do not understand, and see ye indeed, but do not perceive.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere andũ aya atĩrĩ: “‘Inyuĩ tũũrai o mũiguaga no mũtikanamenye ũndũ; tũũrai muonaga no mũtikanakuũke.’
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and be healed.
Tũma ngoro cia andũ aya ciũme, o na ũtũme matũ mao magĩe njiika mage kũigua, o na ũhinge maitho mao matige kuona. Tondũ maahota kuona na maitho mao, na maigue na matũ mao, na ngoro ciao igĩe na ũmenyo, macooke magarũrũke mahonio.”
11 Then I said, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,
Na niĩ ngĩcooka ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ nginya rĩ?” Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ: “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matũũra marĩa manene magaakorwo maanangĩtwo na matarĩ na wa kũmatũũra, nacio nyũmba ikorwo ĩtiganĩirio, na mĩgũnda ĩkaanangwo na ĩgathũkio biũ,
12 and Jehovah has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.
o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova agaakorwo atwarĩte andũ othe kũraya, naguo bũrũri ũgatiganĩrio biũ.
13 And if there be yet a tenth in it, it also shall in turn be eaten up. As a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled, so the holy seed is the stock of it.
Na rĩrĩ, o na kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa andũ gĩtigaire bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio no ũkaanangwo rĩngĩ. No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũceneni na mũgandi ĩtigagio ithukĩ yatemwo-rĩ, ũguo noguo rũciaro rũrũ rwamũre rũgaatigario gĩtina kĩaruo bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.”
