< Isaiah 6 >

1 Ní ọdún tí ọba Ussiah kú, mo rí Olúwa tí ó jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ tí ó ga tí a gbé sókè, ìṣẹ́tí aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ̀ sì kún inú tẹmpili.
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
2 Àwọn Serafu wà ní òkè rẹ̀, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn ní ìyẹ́ mẹ́fà, wọ́n fi ìyẹ́ méjì bo ojú wọn, wọ́n fi méjì bo ẹsẹ̀ wọn, wọ́n sí ń fi méjì fò.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 Wọ́n sì ń kọ sí ara wọn wí pé, “Mímọ́, mímọ́, mímọ́ ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun gbogbo ayé kún fún ògo rẹ̀.”
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Nípa ìró ohùn un wọn, òpó ìlẹ̀kùn àti gbogbo ògiri ilé náà sì mì tìtì, gbogbo inú tẹmpili sì kún fún èéfín.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Mo kígbe pé, “Ègbé ni fún mi! Mo ti gbé!” Nítorí mo jẹ́ ènìyàn aláìmọ́ ètè, mo sì ń gbé láàrín àwọn ènìyàn aláìmọ́ ètè, ojú mi sì ti rí ọba, Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun jùlọ.
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan nínú àwọn Serafu wọ̀nyí fò wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú ẹ̀yín iná ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀, èyí tí ó ti fi ẹ̀mú mú ní orí pẹpẹ.
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
7 Èyí ni ó fi kàn mí ní ẹnu tí ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, èyí ti kan ètè rẹ; a ti mú ẹ̀bi rẹ kúrò, a sì ti wẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ nù.”
and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
8 Nígbà náà ni mo sì gbọ́ ohùn Olúwa wí pé, “Ta ni èmi yóò rán? Ta ni yóò sì lọ fún wa?” Nígbà náà ni èmi sì wí pé, “Èmi nìyí, rán mi!”
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 Òun sì wí pé, “Tọ àwọn ènìyàn yìí lọ kí o sì wí fún wọn pé, “‘Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́, kì yóò sì yé e yín; ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò ri, ẹ̀yin kì yóò mọ òye.’
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Mú kí àyà àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí yigbì, mú kí etí wọn kí ó wúwo, kí o sì dìwọ́n ní ojú. Kí wọn kí ó má ba fi ojú wọn ríran, kí wọn kí ó má ba fi etí wọn gbọ́rọ̀, kí òye kí ó má ba yé ọkàn wọn, kí wọn kí ó má ba yípadà kí a má ba mú wọn ní ara dá.”
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
11 Nígbà náà ni mo wí pé, “Báwo ni yóò ti pẹ́ tó Olúwa?” Òun sì dáhùn pé: “Títí àwọn ìlú ńlá yóò fi dahoro, láìsí olùgbé nínú rẹ̀ mọ́, títí tí àwọn ilé yóò fi wà láìsí ènìyàn, títí tí ilẹ̀ yóò fi dahoro pátápátá.
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 Títí tí Olúwa yóò fi rán gbogbo wọn jìnnà réré tí ilẹ̀ náà sì di ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ìdámẹ́wàá ṣẹ́kù lórí ilẹ̀ náà, yóò sì tún pàpà padà di rírun. Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí igi tẹrẹbinti àti igi óákù, ti í fi kùkùté sílẹ̀ nígbà tí a bá gé wọn lulẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni irúgbìn mímọ́ náà yóò di kùkùté ní ilẹ̀ náà.”
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
