< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
Lanne wa Ozyas mouri a, mwen wè Seyè a. Li te chita sou yon gwo fotèy byen wo. Ke rad li te plen tout tanp lan.
2 The Seraphim were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
Yon bann bèt vivan te kanpe fè wonn li. Yo te klere kou flanm dife. Yo chak te gen sis zèl, de zèl pou kouvri figi yo, de zèl pou kouvri pye yo, de zèl pou yo vole.
3 And they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
Yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt byen fò. Yo t'ap di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, li apa! Wi, li apa! Se yon Bondye ki apa vre! Pouvwa li kouvri tout latè.
4 And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
Tout poto kay Bondye a tranble lè bèt vivan yo t'ap rele konsa a. Lafimen te plen tout anndan tanp lan.
5 And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”
Mwen di: -Nanpwen sove pou mwen! Jòdi a m'ap mouri vre! Paske tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen se move pawòl. Epi m'ap viv nan mitan yon pèp ki pa janm gen bon pawòl nan bouch li. Lèfini, mwen wè Wa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, avèk pwòp je m'.
6 And one of the Seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
Yonn nan bèt vivan yo pran yon chabon dife tou limen ak yon pensèt sou lotèl la, li vole vin bò kote m' avèk chabon dife a nan men li.
7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”
Li kole l' sou bouch mwen, epi li di m' konsa! -Sa a kole sou po bouch ou. Koulye a, ou pa gen peche ankò. Bondye padonnen tou sa ou fè ki mal.
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”
Apre sa, mwen tande Seyè a ki t'ap di: -Kilès mwen ta voye la a? Kilès ki ta asepte ale pou nou? Mwen di: -Men mwen. Voye m'!
9 And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’
Epi lè sa a, li di m': -Ale non. Men sa pou ou di pèp la: Louvri zòrèy nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap konprann anyen! Louvri je nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap wè sa k'ap rive!
10 Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”
Fè lespri pèp la vin lou! Bouche zòrèy yo! Mare je yo! Konsa, yo p'ap ka tande, yo p'ap ka wè, yo p'ap ka konprann. Yo p'ap ka tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo.
11 And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”
Lè sa a, mwen di: -Seyè! Kilè sa va sispann? Li reponn mwen: -Lè y'a fin kraze lavil yo. Lè p'ap gen moun ankò ki rete ladan yo. Lè tout kay yo va vid, lè jaden yo va tounen savann.
12 For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.
Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a mete tout moun deyò nan peyi a. Tout peyi a pral rete san moun ladan l'.
13 But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.
Menm si rete yon sèl moun sou chak dis moun nan peyi a, y'ap toujou disparèt yo. Se va tankou lè yo koupe pye kajou ak pye bwadchenn. Chouk la ase ki va rete. Chouk sa a va pouse ankò, pèp Bondye a va kanpe ankò.
