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 My Lord, sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and, his skirts, did fill 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.
Seraphim, were standing above him; six wings severally, had each one, —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 they continued crying out one to another, and said, Holy—holy—holy, is Yahweh of hosts, —the fulness of the whole earth, is 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 foundations of the porch, were 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 to me!—for I am undone, Because a man of unclean lips, am, I, And in the midst of a people of unclean lips, do I dwell, —For the King. Yahweh of hosts, have mine eyes seen!
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 unto me one of the seraphim, And in his hand, a live coal, —With tongs, had he taken it 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.
Then touched he my mouth, and said—Lo! this hath touched thy lips, —Thus shall be taken away, thine iniquity, And, thy sin, by propitiation be covered.
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.
Then heard I the voice of My Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said—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.
Then said he—Go and say unto this people, —Hear on but do not discern, See on but do not perceive:
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.
Stupefy thou the heart of this people, And their ears, make thou heavy, And their eyes, overspread, —Lest they see with their eyes And with their ears, should hear, And their heart should discern and come back. And they 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—How long, My Lord? And he said—Until the time that Cities be wasted through having no inhabitant And houses—through having no men, And, the ground, be laid waste unto desolation;
12 Kia whakamataratia e Ihowa nga tangata ki tawhiti, a ka nui te whakarerenga i waenganui i te whenua.
And Yahweh have far removed men, —And great! be the abandonment 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.
Yet still shall there be in it a tenth, Though it again be consumed, —Like an oak and like a terebinth Which when felled, have a stock in them, A holy seed, shall be the stock thereof.
