< 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 of king 'Uzziyahu's death I saw the Lord sitting upon a high and exalted throne, and his train 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.
Seraphim were standing around him, each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two did he fly.
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 one called unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole 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.
And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, and the house 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.
And I said, Woe is me! for I am lost; because a man of unclean lips am I, and in the midst of a people of unclean lips do I dwell; for the King, the Lord of hosts have my eyes seen.
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 flew unto me one of the seraphim, and in his hand was a live coal, with the tongs had he taken it from off 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 he touched therewith upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is departed, and thy sin is forgiven.
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.
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and 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 said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.
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.
Obdurate will remain the heart of this people, and their ears will be heavy, and their eyes will be shut: so that they will not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor their hearts be understanding, so that they be converted, and healing be granted them.
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,
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until that cities be left waste without an inhabitant, and houses without man, and the soil be made desolate as a wilderness,
12 A lawe loihi aku o Iehova i na kanaka, A mahuahua ka olohelohe ana mawaenakonu o ka aina;
And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.
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 should a tenth part thereof yet remain, it will again be swept away: [yet] like the terebinth and the oak, which, when they cast their leaves, retain their stems, so remaineth the holy seed, its stem.
