< Ezayi 6 >
1 Nan ane Wa Ozias te mouri an, mwen te wè SENYÈ a ki te chita sou yon twòn, byen wo e egzalte, avèk ke wòb Li ki te ranpli tanp lan.
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 Serafen yo te kanpe pi wo Li, yo chak ak sis zèl: ak de, li te kouvri figi li; ak de, li te kouvri pye li e ak de, li te vole.
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 Youn te rele a yon lòt epi te di: “Sen, Sen, Sen, se SENYÈ dèzame yo; tout latè plen ak glwa Li.”
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 Fondasyon a papòt yo te tranble ak vwa a sila ki te rele fò a pandan tanp lan te plen ak lafimen.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Konsa, mwen te di: “Malè a mwen, paske mwen fin detwi nèt! Akoz mwen se yon nonm ak lèv ki pa pwòp, e mwen viv pami yon pèp ak lèv ki pa pwòp; paske zye m te wè Wa a, SENYÈ dèzame yo.”
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 Epi youn nan serafen yo te vole kote m ak yon mòso chabon tou limen nan men l, ke li te pran sou lotèl la ak pensèt.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 Li te touche bouch mwen ak li, epi te di: “Men vwala, sa fin touche lèv ou; epi inikite pa ou retire e peche ou vin padone.”
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 Konsa, mwen te tande vwa SENYÈ a, ki te di: “Se kilès ke m ap voye, e se kilès k ap ale pou Nou?” Epi mwen te di: “Men mwen! Voye mwen!”
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 Li te di: “Ale di pèp sa a: ‘Kontinye koute, men pa wè; kontinye gade, men pa konprann.’
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 Rann kè a pèp sa a ensansib, zòrèy yo di e zye yo mal pou wè; otreman, petèt yo ta wè ak zye yo, tande ak zòrèy yo, konprann ak kè yo e retounen pou resevwa gerizon.”
[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 Epi mwen te di: “Senyè, pou konbyen tan?” Li te reponn: “Jiskaske vil yo fin devaste nèt e pa gen moun pou rete ladan yo, kay yo vin san moun e peyi a fin dezole,
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 epi SENYÈ a fin retire moun yo byen lwen e plas abandone yo vin anpil nan mitan peyi a.
[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 Sepandan, si genyen yon dizyèm pòsyon ladann, li va osi manje nèt, tankou yon bwa terebinth oswa yon bwadchenn ak chouk ki rete lè l koupe mete atè. Konsa, Semans ki sen se chouk li.”
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.”
