Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and elevated, and his train filled the temple.
Afe a ɔhene Usia wuiɛ mu no, mehunuu Awurade sɛ ɔte ahennwa a, ɛkorɔn na wapagya so na nʼatadeɛ mmuano ayɛ asɔrefie hɔ ma.
2 Above it stood seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Na serafim a wɔn mu biara wɔ ntaban nsia wɔ nʼAtifi. Wɔde ntaban no mmienu kata wɔn anim, na wɔde mmienu nso kata wɔn nan ho ɛnna wɔde mmienu nso tu.
3 And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.
Na obiara team kyerɛ ne yɔnko sɛ, “Kronkron! Kronkron! Kronkron ne Asafo Awurade; Nʼanimuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa so ma!”
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Wɔn nne nnyegyeeɛ maa apono ne aboboano wosooɛ, na wisie yɛɛ asɔrefie hɔ ma.
5 Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Meteam kaa sɛ, “Me nnue! Memfata! Meyɛ onipa a mʼano ho nteɛ, na mete nnipa a wɔn ano ho nteɛ mu, Ɔhene, Otumfoɔ Awurade na mʼani ahunu no yi.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Na serafim no mu baako a ɔkura gyasramma, a ɔde daban kɔfa firii afɔrebukyia no so tu baa me nkyɛn.
7 And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Ɔde yei kaa mʼano kaa sɛ, “Hwɛ, yei aka wʼanofafa, wɔayi wʼafɔdie na wɔatua wo bɔne so ka.”
8 Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
Afei, metee Awurade nne a ɛrebisa sɛ, “Hwan na mensoma no? Na hwan na ɔbɛkɔ ama yɛn?” Na mekaa sɛ, “Me nie. Soma me!”
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Kɔka kyerɛ saa nkurɔfoɔ yi sɛ, “‘Ɔte deɛ mobɛte, nanso morente aseɛ; Ɔhwɛ deɛ mobɛhwɛ, nanso morenhunu.’
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Ɛfiri sɛ mo, moapirim mo akoma; moasi mo aso, akatakata mo ani. Ɛnyɛ saa a, anka mo ani bɛhunu adeɛ, na mo akoma ate asɛm ase, na moanu mo ho asane aba me nkyɛn, na masa mo yadeɛ.”
11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities shall be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
Na mekaa sɛ, “Ɛnkɔsi da bɛn, Ao Awurade?” Na ɔbuaa sɛ, “Ɛnkɔsi sɛ nkuropɔn no bɛyɛ nkurofon a nnipa ntete soɔ, ɛnkɔsi sɛ afie no bɛyɛ afituo na mfuo no asɛe ayɛ pasaa,
12 And the LORD shall have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
ɛnkɔsi sɛ, Awurade bɛpamo obiara akɔ akyirikyiri na asase no ada mpan.
13 But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves]: [so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance of it.
Mpo, sɛ nkyɛmu edu mu baako ka asase no so a, wɔbɛsɛe no bio. Nso sɛdeɛ dupɔn anaa odum gya dunsini ɛberɛ a wɔatwa ato fam no, saa ara na aba kronkron no bɛyɛ dunsini wɔ asase no so.”
