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.
Nyakati zile za kifo cha mfalme Uzzia, nilimuona Bwana akiketi katika kiti cha cha enzi; alikuw juu na mahali palipo inuka, na pindo la vazi lake limejaa hekaluni.
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.
Juu yake kuna maserafi; kila moja lina mabwa sita; mawili yamefunika uso wake, na mawili yamefunika miguu yake, na mawili ya kurukia.
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!”
Kila mmoja anaitana na mwenzake nakusema, ''Mtakakatifu, Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu. ni Yahwe wa majeshi! Dunia yote imejaa utukufu wake.''
4 And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
Misingi ya vizingiti imeshtuka kwa sauti ya mtu aliye nje, na njumba imejaa moshi.
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.”
Ndipo nikasema,'' Ole wangu'' ninastahili adhabu maan mimi ni mtu mwenye midomo michafu, na ninaishi na watu wenye midomo michafu, maana macho yangu yamemuona Mfalme, Yahwe, Yahwe wa majeshi.''
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),
Ndipo mmoja wa maserafi akaruka juu yangu; mkononi mwake akiwa amebeba makaa ya mawe yanayong'aa, ameyachukuwa kwa koleo mathebauni.
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.”
Akaugusa mdomo wangu kwa makaa ya mawe na akasema, ''Ona, makaa ya mawe yameshika midomo yako; maovu yako yameondolewa, na dhambi zako zimelipiwa kwa hili.''
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.”
Nilisikia sauti ya Bwana ikisema, Nimtume nani; nani ataenda kwa niaba yetu?'' Ndipo nikasema, Niko hapa; nitume mimi.''
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.
Akasema nenda na uwambie watu, ' mnasikiliza lakini hamelewi; anaona lakini hamuangalii. '
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.”
Nenda ufanye mioyo ya watu hawa kuwa migumu, na masikio yao kuwa mazito, na macho yao kuwa vipofu. Hivyo basi wanaweza kuona kwa macho yao, kusikia kwa masikioa yao, na kuelewa kwa mioyo yao wakajeuka na kuponjwa.
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,
Ndipo nikasema, ''Bwana, mda gani?'' Akanijibu, mpaka mji itakapopata ajali na kuharibiwa na pasipo wakazi, na nyumba hazina watu, na nchi imeanguka katika ukiwa mtupu,
12 And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
na mpaka pale Yahwe atakapo wapeleka watu mbali, na upweke wa nchi ni mkubwa.
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!”
Hata kama makumi ya watu watabaki kwenye nchi, itaharibiwa kwa mara nyingine kama mwaloni uliokatwa chini na shina lake likabaki, mbegu takatifu kwenye kisiki chake.''
