< Isaia 6 >

1 Tamy taoñe nihomaha’ i Oziày, le nitreako miambesatse am-piambesatse abo naho nonjoneñe t’i Talè vaho nahaatseke i anjombay ty saravi’e.
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
2 Nijohañe ambone’e ey o seràfeo; songa aman’ elatse eneñe, ty roe nanakoñe ty lahara’e, ty roe nanaroñe o fandia’eo vaho nitiliñe ty roe.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 Ie nifampikoike ty hoe: Masiñe, masiñe, masiñe, t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; lifotse ty enge’e ty tane bey toy.
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Nampiezeñezeñe o tokonañeo i feon-koikey, vaho natsafe’ ty hatoeñe i anjombay.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Le hoe iraho, Hankàñe amako, rebake, fa ondaty maleo-tsoñy, vaho añivo’ ondaty maleo-pivimby ty itobohako; fa nahatrea i Mpanjakay, Iehovà’ i Màroy, o masokoo.
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Niti­liñe mb’ amako amy zao ty seràfe ninday vato mirekake am-pità’e, ie rinambe’e an-tsadrò boak’amy kitreliy ao,
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
7 le natoho’e ami’ty soñiko naho nanao ty hoe: Hehe, tinoho’ ty raha toy o fivim­bi’oo, vaho nijebañańe o tahi’oo.
and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
8 Tsinanoko ka ty fiarañanaña’ i Talè nanao ty hoe: Ia ty hiraheko, vaho ia ty homb’eo ho anay? Le hoe iraho: Intoy iraho; iraho!
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 Le hoe re: Akia, le saontsio am’ondaty retoañe: Toe mijanjiñe nahareo fe tsy mahafohiñe, mañente fe tsy mahaoniñe.
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Ampibobòho ty arofo’ ondaty retoa, le ampivalagìño o ravembia’ iareoo, akipeo o fihaino’ iareoo; tsy mone hahaisake o fihaino’ iareoo, naho hitsendreñe o ravembia’ iareoo, naho hahafohiñe o arofo’ iareoo, vaho himpoly ho jangañeñe.
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
11 Le hoe iraho: O Talè, pak’ombia? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ampara’ te kòake o rovao tsy amam-pimoneñe, naho tsy ama’ondaty o anjombao, vaho vata’e ratraratra i taney,
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 ie fa naveve’ Iehovà añe ondatio, vaho maro ty toetse hoakoake añivo’ i taney.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Aa ndra te i faha-folo’ey ro sehanga’e, mbe habotseke avao; fe manahake te mbe eo ty foto’ o mendoraveñeo naho o kileo t’ie firaeñe, le i tiry miavakey ty ho foto’e.
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
