Esias 6
1 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.
Chaka chimene mfumu Uziya anamwalira, ndinaona Ambuye atakhala pa mpando waufumu, wautali ndi wokwezedwa, ndipo mkanjo wawo unali wautali; kotero kuti unadzaza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
2 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.
Pamwamba pawo panayimirira Aserafi, aliyense anali ndi mapiko asanu ndi limodzi: awiri anaphimba nkhope zawo, awiri anaphimba mapazi awo, ndipo awiri ankawulukira.
3 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.
Ndipo Aserafiwo amafuwulirana kuti “Woyera, woyera, woyera Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Dziko lonse lapansi ladzaza ndi ulemerero wake.”
4 And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
Chifukwa cha kufuwulako maziko a zitseko ndi ziwundo anagwedezeka ndipo mʼNyumba ya Yehova munadzaza utsi.
5 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.
Tsono ine ndinafuwula kuti, “Tsoka langa ine! Ndatayika! Pakuti ndine munthu wapakamwa poyipa, ndipo ndimakhala pakati pa anthu a pakamwa poyipa, ndipo ndi maso anga ndaona mfumu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
6 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:
Pomwepo mmodzi mwa Aserafi aja anawulukira kwa ine ali ndi khala lamoto mʼdzanja lake, khala limene analichotsa ndi mbaniro pa guwa lansembe.
7 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.
Ndipo anandikhudza pakamwa panga ndi khala lamotolo nati, “Taona ndakhudza pa milomo yako ndi khalali; kulakwa kwako kwachotsedwa, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”
8 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,
Kenaka ndinamva mawu a Ambuye akuti, “Kodi ndidzatuma yani? Ndipo ndani adzapite mʼmalo mwathu?” Ndipo ine ndinati, “Ndilipo. Tumeni!”
9 You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
Yehova anati, “Pita ndipo ukawawuze anthu awa: “‘Kumva muzimva, koma osamvetsetsa; kupenya muzipenya koma osaona kanthu.’
10 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.
Tsono anthu amenewa uwaphe mtima; uwagonthetse makutu, ndipo uwatseke mʼmaso. Mwina angaone ndi maso awo, angamve ndi makutu awo, angamvetse ndi mitima yawo, kenaka ndi kutembenuka mtima ndi kuchiritsidwa.”
11 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.
Pamenepo ine ndinati, “Zimenezo ndi mpaka liti Inu Ambuye?” Ndipo Iyeyo anandiyankha kuti, “Mpaka mizinda itasanduka mabwinja nʼkusowa wokhalamo, mpaka nyumba zitasowa anthu okhalamo, mpaka dziko litasanduka chipululu ndithu,
12 And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
mpaka Yehova atasamutsira aliyense kutali, dziko nʼkusiyidwa kwathunthu.
13 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.
Ndipo ngakhale chigawo chakhumi cha anthu chitatsala mʼdziko, nachonso chidzawonongedwa. Koma monga momwe mitengo ya muwanga ndi thundu imasiyira chitsa pamene ayidula, chonchonso mbewu yoyera idzatsalira ngati chitsa chotsala mʼdziko.”
