< Esias 6 >
1 And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
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 And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they 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 the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord 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 lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
Nĩ ũndũ wa mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao, itugĩ cia mĩrango na hingĩro ciaguo ikĩenyenya, nayo hekarũ ĩkĩiyũra ndogo.
5 And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord 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 And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
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, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
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 to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa Mwathani ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ngũtũma? Na nũũ ũgũthiĩ handũ haitũ?” Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha. Ndũma!”
9 You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere andũ aya atĩrĩ: “‘Inyuĩ tũũrai o mũiguaga no mũtikanamenye ũndũ; tũũrai muonaga no mũtikanakuũke.’
10 For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
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 And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
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 after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova agaakorwo atwarĩte andũ othe kũraya, naguo bũrũri ũgatiganĩrio biũ.
13 And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
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.”
