ʻIsaia 6
1 ʻI he taʻu naʻe pekia ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻUsia ne u mamata kia Sihova ʻoku ʻafio ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga, kuo māʻolunga mo hiki hake, pea ko hono kofu tōtōlofa naʻe fonu ai ʻae falelotu lahi.
In the year in which King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up, and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi ʻolunga ʻae Selafimi: naʻe taki ono hona kapakau; naʻa ne fakapulou ʻaki hono mata ʻae ua, pea ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hono vaʻe ʻae ua, pea ne puna ʻaki ʻae ua.
Around him stood seraphs; each one of them had six wings; with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he did fly.
3 Pea naʻa na lea fetāliaki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni, ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau: ʻoku fonu ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻi hono nāunau.”
And one called to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; The whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Pea naʻe ngaueue ʻae ngaahi pou ʻoe matapā ʻi he leʻo ʻo ia naʻe ui, pea naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻi he ʻohuafi.
And the foundations of the thresholds were shaken with the voice of their cry. And the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Pea ne u toki pehē, “Kuo u malaʻia au! He kuo u ʻauha; koeʻuhi ko e tangata loungutu taʻemaʻa au, pea ʻoku ou nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai loungutu taʻemaʻa: he kuo mamata ʻa hoku mata ki he Tuʻi, ko Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.”
Then I said, Alas for me! I am undone! For I am a man of unclean lips, and dwell among a people of unclean lips, and mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
6 Pea naʻe toki puna mai ʻae tokotaha ʻoe Selafimi kiate au, naʻe ʻi hono nima ʻae malalaʻi afi, ʻaia naʻa ne toʻo ʻaki ʻae hikofi mei he feilaulauʻanga.
Then flew one of the seraphs to me, having in his hands a glowing stone, which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
7 Pea naʻa ne ai ia ki hoku ngutu, mo ne pehē, “Vakai kuo tau ʻae meʻa ni ki ho loungutu; pea kuo toʻo ʻo ʻave hoʻo hia, pea kuo fakamaʻa hoʻo angahala.”
And he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this toucheth thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is expiated.
8 Pea ne u fanongo foki ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, naʻe pehē, “Ko hai te u fekau, pea ko hai ʻe ʻalu maʻamautolu?” Pea ne u toki pehē, “Ko au eni; ke ke fekau au.”
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said: Behold, here am I; send me!
9 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻAlu, pea tala ki he kakai ni, ʻOku mou fanongo moʻoni, kae ʻikai ongoʻi; pea ʻoku mou mamata pau, kae ʻikai ʻiloʻi.
And he said: Go, and say thou to this people, Hear ye, indeed, but understand not; See ye, indeed, but perceive not!
10 Ngaohi ke fangapesi ʻae loto ʻoe kakai ni, pea ngaohi ke mamafa honau telinga, pea tāpuni honau mata; telia naʻa nau mamata ʻaki honau mata, pea fanongo ʻaki honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻaki honau loto, pea liliu, pea hoko ʻo moʻui.”
Make the heart of this people gross; Make their ears dull, and blind their eyes; That they may not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, Nor perceive with their hearts, and turn, and be healed.
11 Pea ne u toki pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ke ʻoua ke lala ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻikai ha tokotaha ke nofo ai, pea ʻikai ha tangata ʻi he ngaahi fale, pea lala ʻaupito ʻae fonua,
Then said I, How long, Lord? He said: Until the cities be laid waste, so that there be no inhabitant, And the houses, so that there be no man, And the land be left utterly desolate;
12 Pea ke ʻoua ke ʻave ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai, pea hoko ʻae liʻaki lahi ki he fonua.
Until Jehovah have removed the men far away, And there be great desolation in the land.
13 Ka e ʻi ai ʻae vahe ʻe hongofulu, pea ʻe toe foki ia, pea ʻe keina ia; ka e hangē ko e ʻakau ko e teili, pea hangē ko e oke, ʻoka tā hifo ʻoku kei tuʻu hono aka: ʻe pehē ʻe hoko ʻae hako māʻoniʻoni ko e aka ʻoe puleʻanga.”
And though there be a tenth part remaining in it, Even this shall again be destroyed; Yet as when the terebinth and the oak are cut down, Their stem remaineth alive, So shall a holy race be the stem of the nation.
