Isaias 6
1 Sa taon ng kamatayan ni Haring Uzias, nakita ko ang Panginoon na nakaupo sa isang trono; siya ay mataas at nakaangat; at ang laylayan ng kaniyang kasuotan ay bumalot sa templo.
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 Nasa taas niya ang mga serapin, bawat isa ay mayroong anim na pakpak, dalawa ang nakatakip sa kaniyang mukha, at dalawa ang nakatakip sa kaniyang mga paa, at ang dalawa ay ginagamit niya sa paglipad.
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 Bawat isa ay nagsasabi sa isa't isa, “Banal, banal, banal si Yahweh na pinuno ng mga hukbo! Puno ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian ang buong mundo.”
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 Nayanig ang mga pinto at mga pundasyon sa mga tinig ng mga nananawagan, at napuno ng usok ang bahay.
When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Pagkatapos sinabi ko, “Kaawa-awa ako! Mapapahamak ako dahil ako ay isang taong marumi ang labi, at namumuhay kasama ng mga taong marurumi ang mga labi, dahil nakita ng aking mga mata ang Hari, si Yahweh, si Yahweh na pinuno ng mga hukbo!”
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 Pagkatapos, isang serapin ang lumipad papalapit sa akin; mayroon siyang hawak na nagbabagang uling na kinuha niya gamit ang panipit mula sa altar.
Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 Idinampi niya ito sa aking bibig at sinabi, “Masdan mo, naidampi na ito sa iyong labi; ang iyong kasalanan ay nilinis at tinubos na.
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 Narinig ko ang tinig ng Panginoon na nagsasabing, “Sino ang aking isusugo? Sino ang magpapahayag para sa atin? Pagkatapos sinabi ko, “Narito ako; ako ang iyong isugo.”
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 Sinabi niya, “Humayo ka at sabihin mo sa mga taong ito, makinig man kayo, hindi kayo makauunawa; tumingin man kayo, hindi kayo makakikita.
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 Patigasin mo ang puso ng mga taong ito, gawin mong bingi ang kanilang mga tainga, at bulagin mo ang kanilang mga mata para hindi sila makakita o hindi sila makarinig at hindi makaunawa ang kanilang mga puso, at manumbalik sila sa akin at sila ay gagaling.”
[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 Pagkatapos sinabi ko, “Panginoon, hanggang kailan?” Sumagot siya, “Hanggang sa mawasak ang mga lungsod at mawalan ng naninirahan dito, at mawalan ng tao ang mga bahay, at nakatiwangwang ang lupain,
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 at hanggang ipatapon ni Yahweh ang ang mga tao palayo, at tuluyang mawalan ng pakinabang ang lupain.
[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 Manatili man ang ikasampung bahagi ng mga tao roon, muli itong wawasakin; gaya ng isang roble o owk na pinutol at naiwan ang katawan nito, ang banal na binhi naman ay nasa tuod na ito.”
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.”
