Isaia 6
1 Tamin’ ny taona nahafatesan’ i Ozia mpanjaka no nahitako ny Tompo nipetraka teo ambonin’ ny seza fiandrianana avo sady manerinerina, ary ny ebaneban’ akanjony nahafeno ny tempoly.
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 Nisy serafima nitsangana teo amboniny, samy nanana elatra enina avy; ny roa nanaronany ny tavany, ny roa nanaronany ny tongony, ary ny roa nanidinany.
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 Ary nanandratra ny feony izy ka nifamaly hoe: Masìna, masìna, masìna Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Henika ny voninahiny ny tany rehetra.
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 Dia nihorohoro ny fanambanin’ ny tokonana noho ny feon’ ireo nanandratra ny feony; ary feno setroka ny trano.
And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Dia hoy izaho: Lozako! maty aho! fa lehilahy maloto molotra, sady ato amin’ ny firenena maloto molotra no itoerako, fa ny mpanjaka, dia Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no efa hitan’ ny masoko.
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 Dia nanidina nanatona ahy ny serafima anankiray nitondra vain’ afo teny an-tànany, izay nalainy tamin’ ny ny tandra avy teo amin’ ny alitara.
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 Ary natehiny ny vavako izany, ka hoy izy: Indro, efa nitehika tamin’ ny molotrao io; ka dia afaka ny helokao, ary voavela ny fahotanao.
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 Ary nandre ny feon’ ny Tompo aho nanao hoe: Iza no hirahiko, ary iza no handeha ho irakay? Dia hoy izaho: Inty aho, iraho aho.
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 Ary hoy Izy: Mandehana, ka lazao amin’ ity firenena ity hoe: Mandrenesa mandrakariva ihany ianareo, nefa aza mahalala; Ary mijere mandrakariva ihany ianareo, nefa aza mahafantatra.
And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.
10 Ataovy adala ny fon’ ity firenena ity, Ary ataovy lalodalovana ny sofiny, Ary ataovy mikimpy ny masony, Fandrao hahita ny masony, Sy handre ny sofiny, Ary hahalala ny fony, Dia hibebaka izy ka ho sitrana.
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 Ary hoy izaho: Tompo ô, mandra-pahoviana anefa? Dia hoy Izy: Mandra-pahafoanan’ ny tanàna, ka tsy hisy mponina, Ary ny trano tsy hisy olona, Ary ny tany ho lao tokoa;
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 Ary Jehovah hampandeha lavitra ny olona, Ka ho be ny lao ao amin’ ny tany;
And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.
13 Ary na dia misy ampahafolony aza sisa, Dia mbola hosimbana ihany koa izany Kanefa kosa tahaka ny hazo terebinta sy ny ôka, Izay mbola misy fotony ihany na dia voakapa aza, Dia toy izany no mbola hisiana taranaka masìna ho fotony.
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.
