Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple.
Afe a ɔhene Usia wuiɛ mu no, mehunuu Awurade sɛ ɔte ahennwa a, ɛkorɔn na wapagya so na nʼatadeɛ mmuano ayɛ asɔrefie hɔ ma.
2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they hew.
Na serafim a wɔn mu biara wɔ ntaban nsia wɔ nʼAtifi. Wɔde ntaban no mmienu kata wɔn anim, na wɔde mmienu nso kata wɔn nan ho ɛnna wɔde mmienu nso tu.
3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
Na obiara team kyerɛ ne yɔnko sɛ, “Kronkron! Kronkron! Kronkron ne Asafo Awurade; Nʼanimuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa so ma!”
4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Wɔn nne nnyegyeeɛ maa apono ne aboboano wosooɛ, na wisie yɛɛ asɔrefie hɔ ma.
5 And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.
Meteam kaa sɛ, “Me nnue! Memfata! Meyɛ onipa a mʼano ho nteɛ, na mete nnipa a wɔn ano ho nteɛ mu, Ɔhene, Otumfoɔ Awurade na mʼani ahunu no yi.”
6 And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar.
Na serafim no mu baako a ɔkura gyasramma, a ɔde daban kɔfa firii afɔrebukyia no so tu baa me nkyɛn.
7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.
Ɔde yei kaa mʼano kaa sɛ, “Hwɛ, yei aka wʼanofafa, wɔayi wʼafɔdie na wɔatua wo bɔne so ka.”
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me.
Afei, metee Awurade nne a ɛrebisa sɛ, “Hwan na mensoma no? Na hwan na ɔbɛkɔ ama yɛn?” Na mekaa sɛ, “Me nie. Soma me!”
9 And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not.
Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Kɔka kyerɛ saa nkurɔfoɔ yi sɛ, “‘Ɔte deɛ mobɛte, nanso morente aseɛ; Ɔhwɛ deɛ mobɛhwɛ, nanso morenhunu.’
10 Blind the heart of this people, 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 be converted and I heal them.
Ɛfiri sɛ mo, moapirim mo akoma; moasi mo aso, akatakata mo ani. Ɛnyɛ saa a, anka mo ani bɛhunu adeɛ, na mo akoma ate asɛm ase, na moanu mo ho asane aba me nkyɛn, na masa mo yadeɛ.”
11 And I said: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate.
Na mekaa sɛ, “Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, Ao Awurade?” Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Ɛnkɔsi sɛ nkuropɔn no bɛyɛ nkurofon a nnipa ntete soɔ, ɛnkɔsi sɛ afie no bɛyɛ afituo na mfuo no asɛe ayɛ pasaa,
12 And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.
ɛnkɔsi sɛ, Awurade bɛpamo obiara akɔ akyirikyiri na asase no ada mpan.
13 And there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreadeth its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed.
Mpo, sɛ nkyɛmu edu mu baako ka asase no so a, wɔbɛsɛe no bio. Nso sɛdeɛ dupɔn anaa odum gya dunsini ɛberɛ a wɔatwa ato fam no, saa ara na aba kronkron no bɛyɛ dunsini wɔ asase no so.”
