Isaia 6
1 I KA makahiki i make ai ke alii, o Uzia, ike aku la au i ka Haku, e noho ana ma ka nohoalii kiekie, i hapaiia, a piha ka luakini i kona hua lole.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Ku mai la maluna, ma o na la, na Serapima; he paono, he paono na eheu ia lakou a pau. Me na mea elua ia i uhi ai i kona maka, me na mea elua ia i uhi ai i kona mau wawae, a me na mea elua ia i lele ai.
Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 A hea ae la kekahi i kekahi, Ihiihi, ihiihi, ihiihi no o Iehova o na kaua. Ua piha ka honua i kona nani.
And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
4 Haalulu na paepaepuka, i ka leo o ka mea nana i hea, a piha iho la ka hale i ka uwahi.
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Alaila, olelo iho la au, Auwe au! ua make au; no ka mea, he kanaka lehelehe haumia au, a ke noho nei au iwaena o ka lahuikanaka lehelehe haumia; no ka mea, na ike ko'u mau maka i ke alii, ia Iehova o na kaua.
Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 A lele mai la kekahi o na Serapima io'u nei, aia ma kona lima ka pohaku enaena, ana i lawe ai, mai ke kuahu mai, me na upa ahi.
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 A hoopa mai la ma kuu waha, i mai la, Aia hoi, ua hoopa keia ma kou mau lehelehe, ua laweia kou hewa, ua kalaia kou hala.
And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
8 A lohe iho la no hoi au i ka leo o ka Haku, i ka i ana mai, Iawai la wau e hoouna aku ai? A owai ka mea nana e hele no kakou? Alaila, i aku la au, Eia no wau, e hoouna ia'u.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
9 I mai la ia, O hele, e olelo aku i keia poe kanaka, I ka lohe ana, e lohe no oukou, aole nae e hoomaopopo, I ka ike ana, e ike no, aole nae e akaka ka ike ana.
And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 E hoopalaka i ka naau o keia poe kanaka, E hookuli i ko lakou pepeiao, A e hoopaa i ko lakou maka; O ike ko lakou mau maka, A lohe hoi ko lakou mau pepeiao, A hoomaopopo ko lakou naau, A huli lakou, a hoolaia mai lakou.
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
11 Alaila, i aku la au, E ka Haku, pehea ka loihi? I mai la ia, A neoneo na kulanakauhale, aohe mea noho iloko, A kanaka ole ko lakou hale, A anai loa ia'ku ka aina,
Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12 A lawe loihi aku o Iehova i na kanaka, A mahuahua ka olohelohe ana mawaenakonu o ka aina;
until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 Ina i koe kekahi hapaumi o na mea, E anai loa ia'ku no ia. Aka, e like me ka laau hukaa, a me ka oka, I ka wa i kuaia, ua koe no ke kumu; Pela no e lilo ai kekahi mamo hemolele, I kumu hoolaha no lakou.
And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
