< 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 sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; 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.
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 A hea ae la kekahi i kekahi, Ihiihi, ihiihi, ihiihi no o Iehova o na kaua. Ua piha ka honua i kona nani.
One called to another, 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.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, 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.
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 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, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs 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.
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 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.
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 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.
He said, “Go, and tell this people, ‘You hear indeed, but don’t understand. You see indeed, but don’t perceive.’
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 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 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 said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,
12 A lawe loihi aku o Iehova i na kanaka, A mahuahua ka olohelohe ana mawaenakonu o ka aina;
and the LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within 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.
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.”
