U-Isaya 6
1 Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi uUziya ngabona iNkosi ihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi esiphezulu lesiphakemeyo, lemiphetho yesembatho sayo yagcwalisa ithempeli.
In [the] year of [the] death of the king Uzziah and I saw [the] Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up and [the] skirts of robe his [were] filling the temple.
2 Amaserafi ayemi ngaphezu kwayo; impiko eziyisithupha, impiko eziyisithupha zalelo lalelo; ngezimbili lagubuzela ubuso balo, langezimbili lagubuzela inyawo zalo, langezimbili laphapha.
Seraphim [were] standing - from above him six wings six wings [belonged] to one with two [wings] - he covered face his and with two [wings] he covered feet his and with two [wings] he flew.
3 Lelinye lamemeza kwelinye lathi: Ingcwele, ingcwele, ingcwele iNkosi yamabandla; umhlaba wonke ugcwele inkazimulo yayo.
And he called this to this and he said [is] holy - holy holy Yahweh of hosts [the] fullness of all the earth [is] glory his.
4 Insika zomnyango zasezinyikinyeka ngenxa yelizwi lomemezayo, lendlu yagcwala intuthu.
And they shook [the] foundations of the thresholds from [the] voice of the [one who] called and the house it was filled smoke.
5 Ngasengisithi: Maye kimi, ngoba ngiyabhubha! Ngoba ngingumuntu wendebe ezingcolileyo, futhi ngihlala phakathi kwabantu bendebe ezingcolileyo; ngoba amehlo ami abonile iNkosi, uJehova wamabandla.
And I said woe! to me for I am destroyed for [am] a man unclean of lips I and in among a people unclean of lips I [am] dwelling for the king Yahweh of hosts they have seen eyes my.
6 Kwasekuphaphela kimi elinye lamaserafi lilelahle elivuthayo esandleni salo elalilithethe ngodlawu elathini.
And he flew to me one of the seraphim and [was] in hand his a live coal [which] with tongs he had taken from on the altar.
7 Lathinta umlomo wami, lathi: Khangela, lokhu kuzithintile indebe zakho; ngakho ububi bakho bususiwe, lesono sakho senzelwe inhlawulo lokuthula.
And he made [it] touch mouth my and he said here! it has touched this lips your and it will be removed iniquity your and sin your it will be atoned for.
8 Ngasengisizwa ilizwi leNkosi lisithi: Ngizathuma bani? Njalo ngubani ozasiyela? Ngasengisithi: Khangela, ngilapha, thuma mina.
And I heard [the] voice of [the] Lord saying whom? will I send and who? will he go for us and I said here [am] I send me.
9 Yasisithi: Hamba, uthi kulababantu: Zwanini lizwe, kodwa kaliyikuqedisisa; njalo bonani libone, kodwa kaliyikubonisisa.
And he said go and you will say to the people this hear continually and may not you understand and see continually and may not you perceive.
10 Yenza inhliziyo yalababantu ikhuluphale, wenze indlebe zabo zibe nzima, uvale amehlo abo, hlezi babone ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngendlebe zabo, baqedisise ngenhliziyo zabo, baphenduke, babesebesiliswa.
Make fat [the] heart of the people this and ears its make heavy and eyes its seal over lest it should see with eyes its and with ears its it will hear and heart its it will understand and it will return and someone will heal it.
11 Ngasengisithi: Koze kube nini, Nkosi? Yasisithi: Kuze kuchitheke imizi ingabi lamhlali, lezindlu zingabi lamuntu, lelizwe lichitheke lithi nya,
And I said until when? O Lord and he said until that they have lain desolate cities from not inhabitant and houses from not anyone and the ground it will be devastated a desolation.
12 leNkosi ibasusele khatshana abantu, njalo kube lokutshiywa okukhulu phakathi kwelizwe.
And he will send far away Yahweh humankind and it will become great the abandoned [land] in [the] midst of the land.
13 Kodwa ingxenye eyodwa etshumini isezakuba kulo; izaphenduka, ibe ngeyokudliwa; njengomtherebhinti lanjengesihlahla se-okhi, esiwohloza amahlamvu aso, isidindi saso sikuzo; inzalo engcwele iyisidindi salo.
And still [will be] in it a tenth [part] and it will return and it will become burning like terebinth and like oak which in [the] felling a stump [is] in them [will be] offspring of holiness stump its.
