Isaia 6
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka ũrĩa Mũthamaki Uzia aakuire-rĩ, nĩguo ndonire Mwathani aikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, kĩrĩ igũrũ na gĩtũũgĩrĩtio, nayo nguo yake yaiyũrĩte hekarũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa yaraihĩte.
In the year that king Uzziah died, I also saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 Igũrũ wake kwarũgamĩte aserafi, na o mũserafi ũmwe aarĩ na mathagu matandatũ: nao makehumbĩra mothiũ mao na mathagu meerĩ, namo meerĩ makehumbĩra magũrũ namo, na meerĩ makombũka namo.
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 Nao metanaga makerana atĩrĩ: “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe mũtheru, ĩĩ nĩwe mũtheru, ti-itherũ nĩwe mũtheru; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ riiri wake.”
One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts. The whole earth is full of his glory."
4 Nĩ ũndũ wa mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao, itugĩ cia mĩrango na hingĩro ciaguo ikĩenyenya, nayo hekarũ ĩkĩiyũra ndogo.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Na niĩ ngĩanĩrĩra ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! Ndĩĩgũthira! Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũndũ wa mĩromo ĩtarĩ mĩtheru, o na ningĩ ndũũranagia na andũ matarĩ mĩromo mĩtheru, na maitho makwa nĩmonete Mũthamaki, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.”
Then I said, "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."
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũserafi ũmwe akĩũmbũka, agĩũka harĩ niĩ akuuĩte ikara rĩa mwaki na guoko, rĩrĩa aarutĩte na mĩĩhato kĩgongona-inĩ.
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.
7 Mũserafi ũcio akĩĩhutia kanua na ikara rĩu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ikara rĩrĩ nĩrĩahutia mĩromo yaku, mahĩtia maku nĩmeherio, o namo mehia maku nĩmahoroherio.”
He touched my mouth with it, and said, "Look, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sins forgiven."
8 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa Mwathani ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ngũtũma? Na nũũ ũgũthiĩ handũ haitũ?” Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha. Ndũma!”
I heard the LORD's voice, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am. Send me."
9 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere andũ aya atĩrĩ: “‘Inyuĩ tũũrai o mũiguaga no mũtikanamenye ũndũ; tũũrai muonaga no mũtikanakuũke.’
And he said, "Go, and tell this people, 'In hearing you hear, but do not understand; and seeing you see, but do not perceive.'
10 Tũma ngoro cia andũ aya ciũme, o na ũtũme matũ mao magĩe njiika mage kũigua, o na ũhinge maitho mao matige kuona. Tondũ maahota kuona na maitho mao, na maigue na matũ mao, na ngoro ciao igĩe na ũmenyo, macooke magarũrũke mahonio.”
The heart of this people has grown dull, and their ears sluggish, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn back, and I would heal them."
11 Na niĩ ngĩcooka ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Mwathani, nĩ nginya rĩ?” Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ: “Nĩ nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa matũũra marĩa manene magaakorwo maanangĩtwo na matarĩ na wa kũmatũũra, nacio nyũmba ikorwo ĩtiganĩirio, na mĩgũnda ĩkaanangwo na ĩgathũkio biũ,
Then I said, "LORD, how long?" He answered, "Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
12 o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova agaakorwo atwarĩte andũ othe kũraya, naguo bũrũri ũgatiganĩrio biũ.
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.
13 Na rĩrĩ, o na kũngĩkorwo kũrĩ na gĩcunjĩ gĩa ikũmi kĩa andũ gĩtigaire bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, bũrũri ũcio no ũkaanangwo rĩngĩ. No rĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũceneni na mũgandi ĩtigagio ithukĩ yatemwo-rĩ, ũguo noguo rũciaro rũrũ rwamũre rũgaatigario gĩtina kĩaruo bũrũri-inĩ ũcio.”
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled. The holy seed is its stock."
