Isaya 6
1 Katika mwaka ule Mfalme Uzia alikufa, nilimwona Bwana ameketi katika kiti cha enzi, kilicho juu na kilichotukuzwa sana, nalo pindo la joho lake likajaza Hekalu.
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 Juu yake walikuwepo maserafi, kila mmoja alikuwa na mabawa sita: Kwa mabawa mawili walifunika nyuso zao, kwa mengine mawili walifunika miguu yao, na kwa mawili walikuwa wakiruka.
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 Nao walikuwa wakiitana kila mmoja na mwenzake: “Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu, Mtakatifu ni Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote; dunia yote imejaa utukufu wake.”
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 Kwa sauti zao, miimo ya milango na vizingiti vilitikisika, nalo Hekalu likajaa moshi.
And they shook [the] foundations of the thresholds from [the] voice of the [one who] called and the house it was filled smoke.
5 Ndipo nikalia, “Ole wangu! Nimeangamia! Kwa kuwa mimi ni mtu mwenye midomo michafu, nami ninaishi katikati ya watu wenye midomo michafu, nayo macho yangu yamemwona Mfalme, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote.”
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 Ndipo mmoja wa wale maserafi akaruka kunijia akiwa na kaa la moto linalowaka mkononi mwake, ambalo alikuwa amelichukua kwa koleo kutoka madhabahuni.
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 Akanigusa nalo kinywa changu na kusema, “Tazama, hili limegusa midomo yako, uovu wako umeondolewa, nayo dhambi yako imesamehewa.”
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 Kisha nikasikia sauti ya Bwana ikisema, “Nimtume nani? Ni nani atakayekwenda kwa ajili yetu?” Nami nikasema, “Mimi hapa. Nitume mimi!”
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 Akasema, “Nenda ukawaambie watu hawa: “‘Mtaendelea daima kusikiliza, lakini kamwe hamtaelewa; mtaendelea daima kutazama, lakini kamwe hamtatambua.’
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 Fanya mioyo ya watu hawa kuwa migumu, fanya masikio yao yasisikie, na upofushe macho yao. Wasije wakaona kwa macho yao, na wakasikiliza kwa masikio yao, wakaelewa kwa mioyo yao, nao wakageuka, nikawaponywa.”
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 Ndipo nikasema, “Hadi lini, Ee Bwana?” Naye akanijibu: “Hadi miji iwe imeachwa magofu na bila wakazi, hadi nyumba zitakapobaki bila watu, na mashamba yatakapoharibiwa na kuangamizwa,
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 hadi Bwana atakapokuwa amekwisha kumpeleka kila mmoja mbali sana, na nchi itakapokuwa imeachwa kabisa.
And he will send far away Yahweh humankind and it will become great the abandoned [land] in [the] midst of the land.
13 Hata kama sehemu ya kumi ya watu watabaki katika nchi, itaharibiwa tena. Lakini kama vile mvinje na mwaloni ibakizavyo visiki inapokatwa, ndivyo mbegu takatifu itakavyokuwa kisiki katika nchi.”
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.
