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.
During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] 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 were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 Nao metanaga makerana atĩrĩ: “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe mũtheru, ĩĩ nĩwe mũtheru, ti-itherũ nĩwe mũtheru; thĩ yothe ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ riiri wake.”
They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
4 Nĩ ũndũ wa mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao, itugĩ cia mĩrango na hingĩro ciaguo ikĩenyenya, nayo hekarũ ĩkĩiyũra ndogo.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple 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, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
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 winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
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.”
and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
8 Ningĩ ngĩigua mũgambo wa Mwathani ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nũũ ngũtũma? Na nũũ ũgũthiĩ handũ haitũ?” Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha. Ndũma!”
Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
9 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkeere andũ aya atĩrĩ: “‘Inyuĩ tũũrai o mũiguaga no mũtikanamenye ũndũ; tũũrai muonaga no mũtikanakuũke.’
Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
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.”
[What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
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, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
12 o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova agaakorwo atwarĩte andũ othe kũraya, naguo bũrũri ũgatiganĩrio biũ.
[Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
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 [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
