< Isaiah 6 >

1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
Iti tawen a natay ni ari Uzzias, nakitak ti Apo a nakatugaw iti maysa a trono, naipangato isuna ken sinaknapan ti gayadan ti kagayna ti templo.
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
Iti ngatoenna ket dagiti serafim; addaan iti innem a payyak ti tunggal maysa; kinaluban ti dua a payyak ti rupana, kinaluban ti dua a payyak ti sakana, ket pagtayabna ti dua a payyakna.
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
Ipukpukkawda iti tunggal maysa a kunada, “Nasantoan, Nasantoan, Nasantoan, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! Napunno ti entero a lubong iti dayagna.”
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Nagunggon dagiti ruangan ken dagiti pundasion iti ariwawa dagiti agpukpukkaw, ken napno iti asok ti balay.
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Ket kinunak, “Asiak pay! Gapu ta nakednganak gapu ta maysaak a tao a narugit dagiti bibigna, ken agbibiagak iti ayan ti tattao a narugit ti bibigda, gapu ta nakita a mismo dagiti matak ti Ari, ni Yahweh, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin!”
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Kalpasanna, timmayab nga immay kaniak ti maysa kadagiti serafim; adda iggemna a beggang nga sinipitna manipud iti altar.
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
Insagidna daytoy iti ngiwatko ket kinunana, “Kitaem, naisagid daytoy iti bibigmo; nadalusanen ti nagbiddutam, ken napakawanen ti basolmo.”
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
Nangngegko ti timek ti Apo a kunana, “Siasino ti ibaonko; siasino ti mapan nga ibaontayo?” Ket kinunak, “Adtoyak; ibaonnak.”
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
Kinunana, “Mapanka ket ibagam daytoy kadagiti tattao, dumngegkayo ngem saankayo a makaawat; makakitakayo ngem saanyo a maawatan.
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
Patangkenem ti puso dagitoy a tattao, ken pagtulengem dagiti lapayagda, ken pagbulsekem dagiti matada, tapno saan a makakita dagiti matada wenno makangngeg dagiti lapayagda, ken saan a makaawat dagiti pusoda, di la ket ta agsublida manen kaniak ket umimbagda.
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
Ket kinunak, “Agingga kaano Apo?” Insungbatna, “Agingga a marsuod dagiti siudad ken awanen dagiti agnanaed, ken awan tattao kadagiti balbalay, ken agbalin a langalang ti daga,
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
ken agingga a papanawen ni Yahweh dagiti tattao, ken naan-anay a langang ti daga.
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
Uray no agtalinaed ti apagkapulo dagiti tattao ditoy, madadaelto manen daytoy; a kas iti kayo wenno lugo a mapukan, a ti laeng puonna ti mabati, ti nasantoan a bin-i ket adda iti pungdolna.
