< Ezayi 6 >

1 Lanne wa Ozyas mouri a, mwen wè Seyè a. Li te chita sou yon gwo fotèy byen wo. Ke rad li te plen tout tanp lan.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 Yon bann bèt vivan te kanpe fè wonn li. Yo te klere kou flanm dife. Yo chak te gen sis zèl, de zèl pou kouvri figi yo, de zèl pou kouvri pye yo, de zèl pou yo vole.
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 Yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt byen fò. Yo t'ap di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, li apa! Wi, li apa! Se yon Bondye ki apa vre! Pouvwa li kouvri tout latè.
One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!”
4 Tout poto kay Bondye a tranble lè bèt vivan yo t'ap rele konsa a. Lafimen te plen tout anndan tanp lan.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Mwen di: -Nanpwen sove pou mwen! Jòdi a m'ap mouri vre! Paske tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen se move pawòl. Epi m'ap viv nan mitan yon pèp ki pa janm gen bon pawòl nan bouch li. Lèfini, mwen wè Wa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, avèk pwòp je m'.
Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Armies!”
6 Yonn nan bèt vivan yo pran yon chabon dife tou limen ak yon pensèt sou lotèl la, li vole vin bò kote m' avèk chabon dife a nan men li.
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 Li kole l' sou bouch mwen, epi li di m' konsa! -Sa a kole sou po bouch ou. Koulye a, ou pa gen peche ankò. Bondye padonnen tou sa ou fè ki mal.
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8 Apre sa, mwen tande Seyè a ki t'ap di: -Kilès mwen ta voye la a? Kilès ki ta asepte ale pou nou? Mwen di: -Men mwen. Voye m'!
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 Epi lè sa a, li di m': -Ale non. Men sa pou ou di pèp la: Louvri zòrèy nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap konprann anyen! Louvri je nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap wè sa k'ap rive!
He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but do not understand. You see indeed, but do not perceive.’
10 Fè lespri pèp la vin lou! Bouche zòrèy yo! Mare je yo! Konsa, yo p'ap ka tande, yo p'ap ka wè, yo p'ap ka konprann. Yo p'ap ka tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo.
Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”
11 Lè sa a, mwen di: -Seyè! Kilè sa va sispann? Li reponn mwen: -Lè y'a fin kraze lavil yo. Lè p'ap gen moun ankò ki rete ladan yo. Lè tout kay yo va vid, lè jaden yo va tounen savann.
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
12 Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a mete tout moun deyò nan peyi a. Tout peyi a pral rete san moun ladan l'.
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
13 Menm si rete yon sèl moun sou chak dis moun nan peyi a, y'ap toujou disparèt yo. Se va tankou lè yo koupe pye kajou ak pye bwadchenn. Chouk la ase ki va rete. Chouk sa a va pouse ankò, pèp Bondye a va kanpe ankò.
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed, as a terebinth, and as an oak whose stump remains when they are cut down, so the holy seed is its stump.”
