< 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 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 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 - 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 Na obiara teɛ mu kyerɛ ne yɔnko se, “Kronkron! Kronkron! Kronkron ne Asafo Awurade; Nʼanuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa so ma!”
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 Wɔn nne nnyigyei maa apon ne abobow ano wosowee, na wusiw yɛɛ hyiadan mu hɔ ma.
And they shook [the] foundations of the thresholds from [the] voice of the [one who] called and the house it was filled 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! 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 Na Serafim no mu baako a okura nnyansramma, a ɔde ɔdaban kɔfa fii afɔremuka no so tu baa me nkyɛn.
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 Ɔde eyi kaa mʼano kae se, “Hwɛ, eyi aka wʼanofafa, wɔayi wʼafɔdi na wɔatua wo bɔne so ka.”
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 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? will I send and who? will he 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 you will say to the people this hear continually and may not you understand and see continually and may not you 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 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 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 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 enkosi sɛ, Awurade bɛpam obiara akɔ akyirikyiri na asase no ada mpan.
And he will send far away Yahweh humankind and it will become great the abandoned [land] 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.”
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.
