< Isaiah 6 >

1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
E higano mane Ruoth Uzia othoe, naneno Ruoth Nyasaye kobet e kom duongʼ motingʼore malo kendo omi luor, ka tiend lawe opongʼo hekalu.
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
E wiye malo malaike miluongoni serafi ochungʼe kamoro ka moro nigi bwombe auchiel ka bwombe ariyo giumogo wengegi, to bwombe ariyo mamako giumogo tiendegi, to bwombe ariyo modongʼ gihuyogo.
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
Negiluongore moro ka moro kagiwacho ni: “Maler, Maler, Maler en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego; piny duto opongʼ gi duongʼne.”
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
E seche mane dwondgi kok kamano, mise mag dhoudi ne yiengni kendo hekalu ne opongʼ kod iro.
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Ne aywak niya, “mano kaka lit! Arumo chuth! Nimar an ngʼat ma dhoge wacho gik ma ok ler kendo adak e kind joma wechegi ochido, eka an to aseneno Ruoth, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego gi wangʼa awuon.”
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Eka achiel kuom malaike miluongo ni serafi nohuyo mochopo buta kotingʼo mach e lwete, mosegolo gi ramaki e kendo mar misango.
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
Nokawo gino momulogo dhoga mi owacho niya, “Ne, koro asemulo lewi, mi kethoni oseweni kendo richoni osepwodhi.”
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
Eka ne awinjo dwond Ruoth Nyasaye kapenjo niya, “Ere ngʼama abiro oro? Koso en ngʼa monego odhinwa?” Kendo ne adwoko niya, “Eri antie, ora!”
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
Eka nowacho niya, “Dhiyo kendo iwachne jogi kama: “‘Ubiro siko kuwinjo weche miwacho to wach ok nodonjnu ngangʼ; ubiro siko kungʼicho, to ok unune gimoro.’
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
Ket chuny jogi obed modhil, kendo mi itgi dinre ma ok winj wach, bende wengegi obed ma ok nen. Nono to dipo ka wengegi oneno, kendo itgi owinjo wach, kendo mi chunygi ofwenyo tiend weche, mi gilokre ma chang-gi.”
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
Eka napenjo niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, mano notimre nyaka karangʼo?” Kendo nodwoko niya, “Nyaka chop mier madongo ruombre piny madongʼ gunda maonge joma odakie, bende mi udi ma ji odakie ojwangʼ kendo puothe duto kethre mi jwangʼ-gi,
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
bende nyaka ndalo ma Jehova Nyasaye oriemboe ji duto mabor ma piny odongʼ malich ka gunda.
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
Kata bedni achiel kuom apar mar jogi nodongʼ e piny, to gin bende notiekgi pep. To mana kaka yiende mag ngʼowu kod yiend ober motongʼ mowe osiki loth, kamano e kaka jo-Nyasaye mabiro dongʼ e piny nochal gosikino.”
