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.
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
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.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
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 the other, and they 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 lintel shook at the voice they uttered, 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.”
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes 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.
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
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 touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
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!”
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
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.’
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
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.”
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
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.
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 Va se ɖe esime Yehowa nya ame sia ame ɖo ɖe aboyome, eye anyigba la katã nagblẽ keŋkeŋkeŋ.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
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.”
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
