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.
ʻI he taʻu naʻe pekia ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻUsia ne u mamata kia Sihova ʻoku ʻafio ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga, kuo māʻolunga mo hiki hake, pea ko hono kofu tōtōlofa naʻe fonu ai ʻae falelotu lahi.
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻae Selafimi: naʻe taki ono hona kapakau; naʻa ne fakapulou ʻaki hono mata ʻae ua, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hono vaʻe ʻae ua, pea ne puna ʻaki ʻae ua.
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.
Pea naʻa na lea fetāliaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono nāunau.”
4 And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
Pea naʻe ngaueue ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā ʻi he leʻo ʻo ia naʻe ui, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻi he ʻohuafi.
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.
Pea ne u toki pehē, “Kuo u malaʻia au! He kuo u ʻauha; koeʻuhi ko e tangata loungutu taʻemaʻa au, pea ʻoku ou nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai loungutu taʻemaʻa: he kuo mamata ʻa hoku mata ki he Tuʻi, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”
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:
Pea naʻe toki puna mai ʻae tokotaha ʻoe Selafimi kiate au, naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae malalaʻi afi, ʻaia naʻa ne toʻo ʻaki ʻae hikofi mei he feilaulauʻanga.
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.
Pea naʻa ne ai ia ki hoku ngutu, mo ne pehē, “Vakai kuo tau ʻae meʻa ni ki ho loungutu; pea kuo toʻo ʻo ʻave hoʻo hia, pea kuo fakamaʻa hoʻo angahala.”
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,
Pea ne u fanongo foki ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, naʻe pehē, “Ko hai te u fekau, pea ko hai ʻe ʻalu maʻamautolu?” Pea ne u toki pehē, “Ko au eni; ke ke fekau au.”
9 You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu, pea tala ki he kakai ni, ʻOku mou fanongo moʻoni, kae ʻikai ongoʻi; pea ʻoku mou mamata pau, kae ʻikai ʻiloʻi.
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.
Ngaohi ke fangapesi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ni, pea ngaohi ke mamafa honau telinga, pea tāpuni honau mata; telia naʻa nau mamata ʻaki honau mata, pea fanongo ʻaki honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻaki honau loto, pea liliu, pea hoko ʻo moʻui.”
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.
Pea ne u toki pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ke ʻoua ke lala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻikai ha tokotaha ke nofo ai, pea ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he ngaahi fale, pea lala ʻaupito ʻae fonua,
12 And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
Pea ke ʻoua ke ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai, pea hoko ʻae liʻaki lahi ki he fonua.
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.
Ka e ʻi ai ʻae vahe ʻe hongofulu, pea ʻe toe foki ia, pea ʻe keina ia; ka e hangē ko e ʻakau ko e teili, pea hangē ko e oke, ʻoka tā hifo ʻoku kei tuʻu hono aka: ʻe pehē ʻe hoko ʻae hako māʻoniʻoni ko e aka ʻoe puleʻanga.”
