Isaiah 6
1 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.
Chaka chimene mfumu Uziya anamwalira, ndinaona Ambuye atakhala pa mpando waufumu, wautali ndi wokwezedwa, ndipo mkanjo wawo unali wautali; kotero kuti unadzaza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
2 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.
Pamwamba pawo panayimirira Aserafi, aliyense anali ndi mapiko asanu ndi limodzi: awiri anaphimba nkhope zawo, awiri anaphimba mapazi awo, ndipo awiri ankawulukira.
3 One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
Ndipo Aserafiwo amafuwulirana kuti “Woyera, woyera, woyera Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Dziko lonse lapansi ladzaza ndi ulemerero wake.”
4 The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
Chifukwa cha kufuwulako maziko a zitseko ndi ziwundo anagwedezeka ndipo mʼNyumba ya Yehova munadzaza utsi.
5 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!”
Tsono ine ndinafuwula kuti, “Tsoka langa ine! Ndatayika! Pakuti ndine munthu wapakamwa poyipa, ndipo ndimakhala pakati pa anthu a pakamwa poyipa, ndipo ndi maso anga ndaona mfumu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
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.
Pomwepo mmodzi mwa Aserafi aja anawulukira kwa ine ali ndi khala lamoto mʼdzanja lake, khala limene analichotsa ndi mbaniro pa guwa lansembe.
7 He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
Ndipo anandikhudza pakamwa panga ndi khala lamotolo nati, “Taona ndakhudza pa milomo yako ndi khalali; kulakwa kwako kwachotsedwa, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
8 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!”
Kenaka ndinamva mawu a Ambuye akuti, “Kodi ndidzatuma yani? Ndipo ndani adzapite mʼmalo mwathu?” Ndipo ine ndinati, “Ndilipo. Tumeni!”
9 He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but do not understand. You see indeed, but do not perceive.’
Yehova anati, “Pita ndipo ukawawuze anthu awa: “‘Kumva muzimva, koma osamvetsetsa; kupenya muzipenya koma osaona kanthu.’
10 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.”
Tsono anthu amenewa uwaphe mtima; uwagonthetse makutu, ndipo uwatseke mʼmaso. Mwina angaone ndi maso awo, angamve ndi makutu awo, angamvetse ndi mitima yawo, kenaka ndi kutembenuka mtima ndi kuchiritsidwa.”
11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
Pamenepo ine ndinati, “Zimenezo ndi mpaka liti Inu Ambuye?” Ndipo Iyeyo anandiyankha kuti, “Mpaka mizinda itasanduka mabwinja nʼkusowa wokhalamo, mpaka nyumba zitasowa anthu okhalamo, mpaka dziko litasanduka chipululu ndithu,
12 and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
mpaka Yehova atasamutsira aliyense kutali, dziko nʼkusiyidwa kwathunthu.
13 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.”
Ndipo ngakhale chigawo chakhumi cha anthu chitatsala mʼdziko, nachonso chidzawonongedwa. Koma monga momwe mitengo ya muwanga ndi thundu imasiyira chitsa pamene ayidula, chonchonso mbewu yoyera idzatsalira ngati chitsa chotsala mʼdziko.”
