Isaiah 6
1 In the yeere of the death of King Vzziah, I saw also the Lord sitting vpon an high throne, and lifted vp, and the lower partes thereof filled the Temple.
Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi uUziya ngabona iNkosi ihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi esiphezulu lesiphakemeyo, lemiphetho yesembatho sayo yagcwalisa ithempeli.
2 The Seraphims stoode vpon it: euery one had sixe wings: with twaine he couered his face, and with twaine hee couered his feete, and with twaine he did flie.
Amaserafi ayemi ngaphezu kwayo; impiko eziyisithupha, impiko eziyisithupha zalelo lalelo; ngezimbili lagubuzela ubuso balo, langezimbili lagubuzela inyawo zalo, langezimbili laphapha.
3 And one cryed to another, and sayde, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hostes: the whole world is full of his glory.
Lelinye lamemeza kwelinye lathi: Ingcwele, ingcwele, ingcwele iNkosi yamabandla; umhlaba wonke ugcwele inkazimulo yayo.
4 And the lintles of the doore cheekes moued at the voyce of him that cryed, and the house was filled with smoke.
Insika zomnyango zasezinyikinyeka ngenxa yelizwi lomemezayo, lendlu yagcwala intuthu.
5 Then I sayd, Wo is me: for I am vndone, because I am a man of polluted lips, and I dwell in the middes of a people of polluted lips: for mine eyes haue seene the King and Lord of hostes.
Ngasengisithi: Maye kimi, ngoba ngiyabhubha! Ngoba ngingumuntu wendebe ezingcolileyo, futhi ngihlala phakathi kwabantu bendebe ezingcolileyo; ngoba amehlo ami abonile iNkosi, uJehova wamabandla.
6 Then flewe one of the Seraphims vnto me with an hote cole in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with the tongs:
Kwasekuphaphela kimi elinye lamaserafi lilelahle elivuthayo esandleni salo elalilithethe ngodlawu elathini.
7 And he touched my mouth, and sayd, Loe, this hath touched thy lips, and thine iniquitie shall be taken away, and thy sinne shalbe purged.
Lathinta umlomo wami, lathi: Khangela, lokhu kuzithintile indebe zakho; ngakho ububi bakho bususiwe, lesono sakho senzelwe inhlawulo lokuthula.
8 Also I heard the voyce of the Lord, saying, Whome shall I send? and who shall goe for vs? Then I sayd, Here am I, send me.
Ngasengisizwa ilizwi leNkosi lisithi: Ngizathuma bani? Njalo ngubani ozasiyela? Ngasengisithi: Khangela, ngilapha, thuma mina.
9 And he sayd, Goe, and say vnto this people, Ye shall heare in deede, but ye shall not vnderstand: ye shall plainely see, and not perceiue.
Yasisithi: Hamba, uthi kulababantu: Zwanini lizwe, kodwa kaliyikuqedisisa; njalo bonani libone, kodwa kaliyikubonisisa.
10 Make the heart of this people fatte, make their eares heauie, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their hearts, and conuert, and he heale them.
Yenza inhliziyo yalababantu ikhuluphale, wenze indlebe zabo zibe nzima, uvale amehlo abo, hlezi babone ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngendlebe zabo, baqedisise ngenhliziyo zabo, baphenduke, babesebesiliswa.
11 Then sayd I, Lord, howe long? And he answered, Vntill the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be vtterly desolate,
Ngasengisithi: Koze kube nini, Nkosi? Yasisithi: Kuze kuchitheke imizi ingabi lamhlali, lezindlu zingabi lamuntu, lelizwe lichitheke lithi nya,
12 And the Lord haue remoued men farre away, and there be a great desolation in the mids of the land.
leNkosi ibasusele khatshana abantu, njalo kube lokutshiywa okukhulu phakathi kwelizwe.
13 But yet in it shalbe a tenth, and shall returne, and shalbe eaten vp as an elme or an oke, which haue a substance in them, when they cast their leaues: so the holy seede shall be the substance thereof.
Kodwa ingxenye eyodwa etshumini isezakuba kulo; izaphenduka, ibe ngeyokudliwa; njengomtherebhinti lanjengesihlahla se-okhi, esiwohloza amahlamvu aso, isidindi saso sikuzo; inzalo engcwele iyisidindi salo.
