< 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.
In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw 'Adonay [Lord] sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.
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.
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he 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.”
One called to another, and said, “More holy than the holiest holiness is Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]! The whole earth is full of his kavod ·weighty glory·!”
4 Nípa ìró ohùn un wọn, òpó ìlẹ̀kùn àti gbogbo ògiri ilé náà sì mì tìtì, gbogbo inú tẹmpili sì kún fún èéfín.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, 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.
Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!”
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.
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
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.”
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your depravity (moral evil) is taken away, and your habitual sin ·missing the mark· forgiven.”
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!”
I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of 'Adonay [Lord], saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”
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.’
He said, ‘Go, and tell this people, “You sh'ma ·hear obey· sh'ma ·hear obey· yet still don’t understand; and you indeed see, but don’t 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.”
Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and sh'ma ·hear obey· with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.’
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.
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
12 Títí tí Olúwa yóò fi rán gbogbo wọn jìnnà réré tí ilẹ̀ náà sì di ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá.
And Adonai has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
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.”
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock.”
