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.
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 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.
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 Ie nifampikoike ty hoe: Masiñe, masiñe, masiñe, t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; lifotse ty enge’e ty tane bey toy.
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 Nampiezeñezeñe o tokonañeo i feon-koikey, vaho natsafe’ ty hatoeñe i anjombay.
And the posts of the threshold shook at the voice of those that called aloud, 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 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 Nitiliñe mb’ amako amy zao ty seràfe ninday vato mirekake am-pità’e, ie rinambe’e an-tsadrò boak’amy kitreliy ao,
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 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 therewith upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thy iniquity is departed, and thy sin is forgiven.
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 for us? And I said, Here am I: send me.
9 Le hoe re: Akia, le saontsio am’ondaty retoañe: Toe mijanjiñe nahareo fe tsy mahafohiñe, mañente fe tsy mahaoniñe.
And he said, Go, and say unto this people, Hear indeed, but understand not; and see indeed, but know not.
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.
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 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 that cities be left waste without an inhabitant, and houses without man, and the soil be made desolate as a wilderness,
12 ie fa naveve’ Iehovà añe ondatio, vaho maro ty toetse hoakoake añivo’ i taney.
And the Lord will have removed far away the men, and the depopulation be great in the midst of the land.
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 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.
