Yesaya 6
1 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.
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Serafi siwo aʋala ade li na la le etame. Wotsɔ aʋala eve tsyɔ ŋkume, eve tsyɔ woƒe afɔwo, eye wotsɔ eve bubu le dzodzomii.
Above it stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3 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.”
And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Woƒe gbe ƒe ɖiɖi na be ʋɔtrutiawo kple gbedoxɔ la ƒe agunu ʋuʋu, eye dzudzɔ yɔ gbedoxɔ la me taŋ.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 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.”
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the middle of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Kasia Serafiawo dometɔ ɖeka dzo yi ɖe vɔ̃samlekpui la gbɔ, eye wòtsɔ abɛ tsɔ dzoka xɔxɔ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi hedzo va gbɔnye.
Then flew one of the seraphim to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 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.”
And he laid it on my mouth, and said, See, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.
8 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!”
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.
9 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.’
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear you indeed, but understand not; and see you indeed, but perceive not.
10 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.”
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.
11 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.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 Va se ɖe esime Yehowa nya ame sia ame ɖo ɖe aboyome, eye anyigba la katã nagblẽ keŋkeŋkeŋ.
And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the middle of the land.
13 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.”
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 thereof.
