< 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 of the death of king Uzziah — I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling 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.
Seraphs are standing above it: six wings hath each one; with two [each] covereth its face, and with two [each] covereth its feet, and with two [each] flieth.
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 this one hath called unto that, and hath said: 'Holy, Holy, Holy, [is] Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth [is] 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 posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of 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 say, 'Woe to me, for I have been silent, For a man — unclean of lips [am] I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'
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 flee unto me doth one of the seraphs, and in his hand a burning coal, (with tongs he hath taken [it] 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.”
and he striketh against my mouth, and saith: 'Lo, this hath stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity, And thy sin is covered.'
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 hear the voice of the Lord, saying: 'Whom do I send? and who doth go for Us?' And I say, 'Here [am] I, 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.’
And He saith, 'Go, and thou hast said to this people, Hear ye — to hear, and ye do not understand, And see ye — to see, and ye do not know.
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.”
Declare fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath turned back, and hath health.'
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 say, 'Till when, O Lord?' And He saith, 'Surely till cities have been wasted without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground be wasted — a desolation,
12 Títí tí Olúwa yóò fi rán gbogbo wọn jìnnà réré tí ilẹ̀ náà sì di ìkọ̀sílẹ̀ pátápátá.
And Jehovah hath put man far off, And great [is] the forsaken part in the heart of 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.”
And yet in it a tenth, and it hath turned, And hath been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Have substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!'
