< 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.
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 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.
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 cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord 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 lintel shook at the voice they uttered, 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 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.
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 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:
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 touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
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 to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
Ne mpulira eddoboozi lya Mukama ng’abuuza nti, “Naatuma ani, era ani anaagenda ku lwaffe?” Ne ndyoka njogera nti, “Nze wendi! Tuma nze!”
9 You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
Nayogera nti, “Genda obuulire abantu bano nti, “‘Okuwulira munaawuliranga naye temutegeerenga, n’okulaba munaalabanga naye temutegeerenga kye mulabye.’
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.
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, 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.
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 after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
okutuusa nga Mukama Katonda agobedde wala buli muntu, era ng’ensi esigadde matongo.
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.
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.”
