< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the yeer in which the kyng Osie was deed, Y siy the Lord sittynge on an hiy seete, and reisid; and the hous was ful of his mageste, and tho thingis that weren vndur hym, filliden the temple.
Katika mwaka ule Mfalme Uzia alikufa, nilimwona Bwana ameketi katika kiti cha enzi, kilicho juu na kilichotukuzwa sana, nalo pindo la joho lake likajaza Hekalu.
2 Serafyn stoden on it, sixe wyngis weren to oon, and sixe wyngis to the tothir; with twei wyngis thei hiliden the face of hym, and with twei wyngis thei hiliden the feet of hym, and with twei wyngis thei flowen.
Juu yake walikuwepo maserafi, kila mmoja alikuwa na mabawa sita: Kwa mabawa mawili walifunika nyuso zao, kwa mengine mawili walifunika miguu yao, na kwa mawili walikuwa wakiruka.
3 And thei crieden `the toon to the tother, and seiden, Hooli, hooli, hooli is the Lord God of oostis; al erthe is ful of his glorie.
Nao walikuwa wakiitana kila mmoja na mwenzake: “Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu ni Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote; dunia yote imejaa utukufu wake.”
4 And the lyntels aboue of the herris were moued togidere of the vois of the criere, and the hous was fillid with smoke.
Kwa sauti zao, miimo ya milango na vizingiti vilitikisika, nalo Hekalu likajaa moshi.
5 And Y seide, Wo to me, for Y was stille; for Y am a man defoulid in lippis, and Y dwelle in the myddis of the puple hauynge defoulid lippis, and Y siy with myn iyen the kyng Lord of oostis.
Ndipo nikalia, “Ole wangu! Nimeangamia! Kwa kuwa mimi ni mtu mwenye midomo michafu, nami ninaishi katikati ya watu wenye midomo michafu, nayo macho yangu yamemwona Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”
6 And oon of serafyn flei to me, and a brennynge cole was in his hond, which cole he hadde take with a tonge fro the auter.
Ndipo mmoja wa wale maserafi akaruka kunijia akiwa na kaa la moto linalowaka mkononi mwake, ambalo alikuwa amelichukua kwa koleo kutoka madhabahuni.
7 And he touchide my mouth, and seide, Lo! Y haue touchid thi lippis with this cole, and thi wickidnesse schal be don awei, and thi synne schal be clensid.
Akanigusa nalo kinywa changu na kusema, “Tazama, hili limegusa midomo yako, uovu wako umeondolewa, nayo dhambi yako imesamehewa.”
8 And Y herde the vois of the Lord, seiynge, Whom schal Y sende, and who schal go to you? And Y seide, Lo! Y; sende thou me.
Kisha nikasikia sauti ya Bwana ikisema, “Nimtume nani? Ni nani atakayekwenda kwa ajili yetu?” Nami nikasema, “Mimi hapa. Nitume mimi!”
9 And he seide, Go thou, and thou schalt seie to this puple, Ye herynge here, and nyle ye vndurstonde; and se ye the profesie, and nyle ye knowe.
Akasema, “Nenda ukawaambie watu hawa: “‘Mtaendelea daima kusikiliza, lakini kamwe hamtaelewa; mtaendelea daima kutazama, lakini kamwe hamtatambua.’
10 Make thou blynde the herte of this puple, and aggrege thou the eeris therof, and close thou the iyen therof; lest perauenture it se with hise iyen, and here with hise eeris, and vndurstonde with his herte, and it be conuertid, and Y make it hool.
Fanya mioyo ya watu hawa kuwa migumu, fanya masikio yao yasisikie, na upofushe macho yao. Wasije wakaona kwa macho yao, na wakasikiliza kwa masikio yao, wakaelewa kwa mioyo yao, nao wakageuka, nikawaponywa.”
11 And Y seide, Lord, hou long? And he seide, Til citees ben maad desolat with out dwellere, and housis with out man. And the lond schal be left desert,
Ndipo nikasema, “Hadi lini, Ee Bwana?” Naye akanijibu: “Hadi miji iwe imeachwa magofu na bila wakazi, hadi nyumba zitakapobaki bila watu, na mashamba yatakapoharibiwa na kuangamizwa,
12 and the Lord schal make men fer. And that that was forsakun in the myddil of erthe, schal be multiplied, and yit tithing schal be ther ynne;
hadi Bwana atakapokuwa amekwisha kumpeleka kila mmoja mbali sana, na nchi itakapokuwa imeachwa kabisa.
13 and it schal be conuertid, and it schal be in to schewyng, as a terebynte is, and as an ook, that spredith abrood hise boowis; that schal be hooli seed, that schal stonde ther ynne.
Hata kama sehemu ya kumi ya watu watabaki katika nchi, itaharibiwa tena. Lakini kama vile mvinje na mwaloni ibakizavyo visiki inapokatwa, ndivyo mbegu takatifu itakavyokuwa kisiki katika nchi.”
