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 yeere of the death of King Vzziah, I saw also the Lord sitting vpon an high throne, and lifted vp, and the lower partes thereof 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.
The Seraphims stoode vpon it: euery one had sixe wings: with twaine he couered his face, and with twaine hee couered his feete, and with twaine he did flie.
3 Na obiara teɛ mu kyerɛ ne yɔnko se, “Kronkron! Kronkron! Kronkron ne Asafo Awurade; Nʼanuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa so ma!”
And one cryed to another, and sayde, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hostes: the whole world is full of his glory.
4 Wɔn nne nnyigyei maa apon ne abobow ano wosowee, na wusiw yɛɛ hyiadan mu hɔ ma.
And the lintles of the doore cheekes moued at the voyce of him that cryed, 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.”
Then I sayd, Wo is me: for I am vndone, because I am a man of polluted lips, and I dwell in the middes of a people of polluted lips: for mine eyes haue seene the King and Lord of hostes.
6 Na Serafim no mu baako a okura nnyansramma, a ɔde ɔdaban kɔfa fii afɔremuka no so tu baa me nkyɛn.
Then flewe one of the Seraphims vnto me with an hote cole in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with the tongs:
7 Ɔde eyi kaa mʼano kae se, “Hwɛ, eyi aka wʼanofafa, wɔayi wʼafɔdi na wɔatua wo bɔne so ka.”
And he touched my mouth, and sayd, Loe, this hath touched thy lips, and thine iniquitie shall be taken away, and thy sinne shalbe purged.
8 Afei, metee Awurade nne a ɛrebisa se, “Hena na mensoma no? Na hena na ɔbɛkɔ ama yɛn?” Na mekae se, “Mini. Soma me!”
Also I heard the voyce of the Lord, saying, Whome shall I send? and who shall goe for vs? Then I sayd, 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 sayd, Goe, and say vnto this people, Ye shall heare in deede, but ye shall not vnderstand: ye shall plainely see, and not perceiue.
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 fatte, make their eares heauie, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their hearts, and conuert, and he heale them.
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,
Then sayd I, Lord, howe long? And he answered, Vntill the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be vtterly desolate,
12 enkosi sɛ, Awurade bɛpam obiara akɔ akyirikyiri na asase no ada mpan.
And the Lord haue remoued men farre away, and there be a great desolation in the mids 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 yet in it shalbe a tenth, and shall returne, and shalbe eaten vp as an elme or an oke, which haue a substance in them, when they cast their leaues: so the holy seede shall be the substance thereof.
