Ihaia 6
1 I te tau i mate ai a Kingi Utia i kite ahau i te Ariki e noho ana i runga i te torona, he tiketike, he mea whakarewa ake ki runga, ki tonu ano hoki te temepara i te remu o tona.
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 E tu ana nga herapima i runga ake i a ia: e ono nga parirau o tetahi, o tetahi; i hipokina e ia tona mata ki tetahi rua, ona waewae hoki ki tetahi rua, a ko tetahi rua hei rere mana.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 A i karanga ratou tetahi ki tetahi, i mea, He tapu, he tapu, he tapu, a Ihowa o nga mano; ki katoa te whenua i tona kororia.
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, [is] the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.
4 I oioi ano nga pou o nga tatau i te reo o tera i karanga ra, ki tonu te whare i te paowa.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Na ko taku kianga ake, Aue te mate moku! ka ngaro hoki ahau; he tangata ngutu poke hoki ahau, e noho ana i waenganui i te iwi ngutu poke; kua kite nei hoki oku kanohi i te kingi, i a Ihowa o nga mano.
Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
6 Na ko te rerenga mai o tetahi o nga herapima ki ahau, he waro mura i tona ringa, he mea tango mai e ia i te aata ki te kokopi.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 Whakapangia mai ana e ia ki toku mangai, me tana ki mai, Nana, kua pa tenei ki ou ngutu; na kua riro tou he, kua murua tou hara.
And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Na ka rongo ahau i te reo o te Ariki e mea ana, Ko wai taku e unga ai, ko wai ta tatou hei haere? Ano ra ko ahau, Tenei ahau, ngarea ko ahau.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
9 Ano ra ko ia, Haere, mea atu ki tenei iwi, Rongo noa koutou, e kore e matau; titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
10 Meinga te ngakau o tenei iwi kia ngako, o ratou taringa kia taimaha, whakamoea o ratou kanohi; kei kite o ratou kanohi, kei rongo o ratou taringa, kei matau o ratou ngakau, a ka tahuri, ka whakaorangia.
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
11 Ano ra ko ahau, E te Ariki, kia pehea te roa? Na ka mea ia, Kia ururuatia ra ano nga pa, a kore noa he tangata hei noho, kia kore ra ano he tangata mo roto i nga whare, kia tino ururuatia rawatia ano hoki te whenua.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
12 Kia whakamataratia e Ihowa nga tangata ki tawhiti, a ka nui te whakarerenga i waenganui i te whenua.
And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be] a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
13 A, ki te mau ano he whakatekau i roto i a ia, ka kainga tuaruatia ano ia: ka rite ki te terepini, ki te oki, e mau tonu nei tona uho, i te mea kua tuaina; na hei uho mona te uri tapu.
But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the substance thereof.
