Isaiah 6
1 In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
Awo mu mwaka kabaka Uzziya mwe yafiira, nalaba Mukama ng’atudde ku ntebe empanvu ng’agulumizibbwa, n’ekirenge ky’ekyambalo kye nga kijjula yeekaalu.
2 Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew.
Waggulu we yali waali wayimiriddewo basseraafi: buli omu ng’alina ebiwaawaatiro mukaaga, ebibiri nga bye bibikka ku maaso ge, ebibiri nga bye bibikka ku bigere bye, n’ebibiri ng’abibuusa.
3 And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!
Buli omu yali ng’ayogera ne munne n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Mutukuvu, mutukuvu, mutukuvu, Mukama Katonda Ayinzabyonna: ensi yonna ejjudde ekitiibwa kye.”
4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
N’emisingi gy’emiryango ne ginyeenyezebwa olw’eddoboozi ly’oyo eyali akoowoola mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, yeekaalu n’ejjula omukka.
5 And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
Ne ndyoka nkaaba nti, “Zinsanze nze! Nfudde mpeddewo! Kubanga ndi muntu ow’emimwa egitali mirongoofu, era mbeera wakati mu bantu ab’emimwa egitali mirongoofu; kubanga amaaso gange galabye Kabaka, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye!”
6 And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
Olwo omu ku basseraafi n’alyoka abuuka n’ajja gye ndi ng’alina eryanda eryaka mu ngalo ze, lye yali aggye ku kyoto ne nnamagalo.
7 and he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.
Era n’alikomya ku kamwa kange, n’agamba nti, “Laba, lino likoonye ku mimwa gyo, era obutali butuukirivu bwo bukuggyiddwako. Era n’ekibi kyo kikusonyiyiddwa.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me.
Ne mpulira eddoboozi lya Mukama ng’abuuza nti, “Naatuma ani, era ani anaagenda ku lwaffe?” Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Nze wendi! Tuma nze!”
9 And he said, Go; and thou shalt say unto this people, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive.
Nayogera nti, “Genda obuulire abantu bano nti, “‘Okuwulira munaawuliranga naye temutegeerenga, n’okulaba munaalabanga naye temutegeerenga kye mulabye.’
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and healed.
Okakanyaze omutima gw’abantu bano, oggale amatu gaabwe, n’amaaso gazibe si kulwa nga balaba n’amaaso gaabwe oba okuwulira n’amatu gaabwe oba okutegeera n’emitima gyabwe ne bakyuka bawonyezebwe.”
11 And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land become an utter desolation,
Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Mukama wange birituusa ddi okuba bwe biti?” Nanziramu nti, “Okutuusa ebibuga lwe birizika nga tewali abibeeramu, ne mu mayumba nga temuli muntu, ensi ng’esigalidde awo,
12 and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the solitude be great in the midst of the land.
okutuusa nga Mukama Katonda agobedde wala buli muntu, era ng’ensi esigadde matongo.
13 But a tenth part shall still be therein, and it shall return and be eaten; as the terebinth and as the oak whose trunk [remaineth] after the felling: the holy seed shall be the trunk thereof.
N’ekimu eky’ekkumi ekiriba kisigaddewo, nakyo kirizikirizibwa. Naye ng’omumyuliru n’omuvule bwe gireka ebikolo byagyo bwe gitemebwa, bw’etyo ensigo entukuvu bw’erigwa mu ttaka n’esigala ng’ekikolo mu nsi.”
