Isaiah 6
1 In the year of the death of King Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple.
Le ƒe si me Fia Uzia ku la, mekpɔ Aƒetɔ la wònɔ fiazikpui nyui kɔkɔ aɖe dzi, eye eƒe awutoga yɔ gbedoxɔ la katã me.
2 Seraphim are standing above it: each one has six wings; with two [each] covers its face, and with two [each] covers its feet, and with two [each] flies.
Serafi siwo aʋala ade li na la le etame. Wotsɔ aʋala eve tsyɔ ŋkume, eve tsyɔ woƒe afɔwo, eye wotsɔ eve bubu le dzodzomii.
3 And this one has called to that, and has said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
Wodo ɣli ɖo ɖe wo nɔewo gbɔ be, “Kɔkɔe, kɔkɔe, kɔkɔe nye Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la; anyigba blibo la katã yɔ fũu kple eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe.”
4 And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
Woƒe gbe ƒe ɖiɖi na be ʋɔtrutiawo kple gbedoxɔ la ƒe agunu ʋuʋu, eye dzudzɔ yɔ gbedoxɔ la me taŋ.
5 And I say, “Woe to me, for I have been silent, For I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I am dwelling in [the] midst of a people of unclean lips, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen.”
Eye megblɔ be, “Alele! Evɔ nam azɔ, elabena nu vɔ̃ wɔla, nuyi makɔmakɔtɔ menye, eye mele dukɔ si ƒe nuyi mekɔ o, eye wonye vɔ̃wɔlawo la dome; evɔ la, metsɔ nye ŋkuwo kpɔ Fia, Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la.”
6 And one of the seraphim flees to me, and in his hand—a burning coal (with tongs he has taken [it] from off the altar),
Kasia Serafiawo dometɔ ɖeka dzo yi ɖe vɔ̃samlekpui la gbɔ, eye wòtsɔ abɛ tsɔ dzoka xɔxɔ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi hedzo va gbɔnye.
7 and he strikes against my mouth and says: “Behold, this has struck against your lips, And your iniquity is turned aside, And your sin is covered.”
Etsɔ dzoka xɔxɔ la tɔ nye nuyi hegblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, woɖe wò vodadawo ɖa, eye wotsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ke wò, elabena dzoka sia ka wò nuyi ŋuti.”
8 And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom do I send? And who goes for Us?” And I say, “Here I [am], send me.”
Eye mese Aƒetɔ la ƒe gbe wòbia be, “Ame ka madɔ, eye ame ka ayi na mí?” Meɖo eŋu be, “Aƒetɔ, nyee nye esi, dɔm!”
9 And He says, “Go, and you have said to this people, Hearing you hear, and you do not understand, And seeing you see, and you do not know.
Egblɔ nam be, “Yi nàgblɔ na ame siawo be, ‘Miaƒe towo ase nyawo, gake miase egɔme o. Miaƒe ŋkuwo akpɔ nu, gake miele si dze gee o.’
10 Declare the heart of this people fat, And declare its ears heavy, And declare its eyes dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And hear with its ears, and consider with its heart, And it has turned back, and has health.”
Na dukɔ sia ƒe dzi naku atri, tu woƒe towo, eye nàmia woƒe ŋkuwo. Ne menye nenema o la, woava kpɔ nu kple woƒe ŋkuwo, ase nu kple woƒe towo, ase nu gɔme kple woƒe dziwo, eye woatrɔ akpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.”
11 And I say, “Until when, O Lord?” And He says, “Surely until cities have been ruined without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground is ruined—a desolation,
Eye megblɔ bena “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi, O! Aƒetɔ?” Eɖo ŋu be, “Va se ɖe esime duwo katã zu aƒedo, eye ame aɖeke megale wo me o. Va se ɖe esime aƒewo katã naɖi gbɔlo, eye anyigba la katã nazu gbegbe.
12 And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
Va se ɖe esime Yehowa nya ame sia ame ɖo ɖe aboyome, eye anyigba la katã nagblẽ keŋkeŋkeŋ.
13 And yet a tenth in it, and it has turned, And has been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Has substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!”
Togbɔ be ameawo ƒe akpa ewoliawo dometɔ ɖeka asusɔ ɖe anyigba dzi hã la, woagana wòazu gbegbe, gake abe ale si ne wolã logoti kple gboti, takpoawo susɔna ene la, nenema ke atiku kɔkɔe la azu atitakpo ɖe anyigba la dzi.”
