< 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.
During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] 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.
Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 Ie nifampikoike ty hoe: Masiñe, masiñe, masiñe, t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; lifotse ty enge’e ty tane bey toy.
They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
4 Nampiezeñezeñe o tokonañeo i feon-koikey, vaho natsafe’ ty hatoeñe i anjombay.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple 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.
Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
6 Niti­liñe mb’ amako amy zao ty seràfe ninday vato mirekake am-pità’e, ie rinambe’e an-tsadrò boak’amy kitreliy ao,
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
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 touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
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!
Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
9 Le hoe re: Akia, le saontsio am’ondaty retoañe: Toe mijanjiñe nahareo fe tsy mahafohiñe, mañente fe tsy mahaoniñe.
Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
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.
[What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
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,
Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
12 ie fa naveve’ Iehovà añe ondatio, vaho maro ty toetse hoakoake añivo’ i taney.
[Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
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.
If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
