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 in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and the train of his robe 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.
Around him stood seraphs; each one of them had six wings; with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did 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 to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah 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 foundations of the thresholds were shaken with the voice of their cry. And the temple 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.
Then I said, Alas for me! I am undone! For I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, and mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
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 one of the seraphs to me, having in his hands a glowing stone, which he had taken with the tongs from 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 my mouth, and said, Behold, this toucheth thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is expiated.
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: Behold, 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 thou to this people, Hear ye, indeed, but understand not; See ye, indeed, but perceive 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.
Make the heart of this people gross; Make their ears dull, and blind their eyes; That they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, Nor perceive with their hearts, and turn, and be healed.
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;
Then said I, How long, Lord? He said: Until the cities be laid waste, so that there be no inhabitant, And the houses, so that there be no man, And the land be left utterly desolate;
12 Ary Jehovah hampandeha lavitra ny olona, Ka ho be ny lao ao amin’ ny tany;
Until Jehovah have removed the men far away, And there be great desolation in 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 though there be a tenth part remaining in it, Even this shall again be destroyed; Yet as when the terebinth and the oak are cut down, Their stem remaineth alive, So shall a holy race be the stem of the nation.
