Yesaia 6
1 Afe a ɔhene Usia wui mu no, mihuu Awurade sɛ ɔte ahengua a ɛkorɔn na wapagyaw so na nʼatade mmuano ayɛ hyiadan mu hɔ ma.
In the year of the death of king Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
2 Na Serafim a wɔn mu biara wɔ ntaban asia wɔ nʼatifi. Wɔde ntaban no abien kata wɔn anim, na wɔde abien nso kata wɔn nan ho na wɔde abien nso tu.
Seraphim were standing above him: each had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he flew.
3 Na obiara teɛ mu kyerɛ ne yɔnko se, “Kronkron! Kronkron! Kronkron ne Asafo Awurade; Nʼanuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa so ma!”
And one called to the other and said, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!
4 Wɔn nne nnyigyei maa apon ne abobow ano wosowee, na wusiw yɛɛ hyiadan mu hɔ ma.
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Meteɛɛ mu kae se, “Minnue! Memfata! Meyɛ onipa a mʼano ho ntew, na mete nnipa a wɔn ano ho ntew mu, na mʼani ahu Ɔhene, Awurade Asafo no yi.”
And I said, Woe unto me! for I am undone; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
6 Na Serafim no mu baako a okura nnyansramma, a ɔde ɔdaban kɔfa fii afɔremuka no so tu baa me nkyɛn.
And one of the seraphim flew unto me, and he had in his hand a glowing coal, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
7 Ɔde eyi kaa mʼano kae se, “Hwɛ, eyi aka wʼanofafa, wɔayi wʼafɔdi na wɔatua wo bɔne so ka.”
and he made it touch my mouth, and said, Behold, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.
8 Afei, metee Awurade nne a ɛrebisa se, “Hena na mensoma no? Na hena na ɔbɛkɔ ama yɛn?” Na mekae se, “Mini. Soma me!”
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? And I said, Here am I; send me.
9 Na ɔkae se, “Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ saa nkurɔfo yi se, “‘Ɔte de mobɛte, nanso morente ase; Ɔhwɛ de mobɛhwɛ, nanso morenhu.’
And he said, Go; and thou shalt say unto this people, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive.
10 Efisɛ mo, moapirim mo koma; moasisiw mo aso, akatakata mo ani. Ɛnyɛ saa a, anka mo ani behu ade, na mo koma ate asɛm ase, na moanu mo ho asan aba me nkyɛn, na masa mo yare.”
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and healed.
11 Na mekae se, “Enkosi da bɛn, Awurade?” Na obuae se, “Enkosi sɛ nkuropɔn no bɛyɛ amamfo a nnipa ntete so, enkosi sɛ afi no bɛyɛ afituw na mfuw no asɛe ayɛ pasaa,
And I said, Lord, how long? And he said, Until the cities be wasted, without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land become an utter desolation,
12 enkosi sɛ, Awurade bɛpam obiara akɔ akyirikyiri na asase no ada mpan.
and Jehovah have removed men far away, and the solitude be great in the midst of the land.
13 Mpo, sɛ nkyɛmu du mu baako ka asase no so a wɔbɛsɛe no bio. Nso sɛnea dupɔn anaa odum gyaw dunsin, bere a wɔatwa ato fam no, saa ara na aba kronkron no bɛyɛ dunsin wɔ asase no so.”
But a tenth part shall still be therein, and it shall return and be eaten; as the terebinth and as the oak whose trunk [remaineth] after the felling: the holy seed shall be the trunk thereof.
