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.
I te tau i mate ai a Kingi Utia i kite ahau i te Ariki e noho ana i runga i te torona, he tiketike, he mea whakarewa ake ki runga, ki tonu ano hoki te temepara i te remu o tona.
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.
E tu ana nga herapima i runga ake i a ia: e ono nga parirau o tetahi, o tetahi; i hipokina e ia tona mata ki tetahi rua, ona waewae hoki ki tetahi rua, a ko tetahi rua hei rere mana.
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.”
A i karanga ratou tetahi ki tetahi, i mea, He tapu, he tapu, he tapu, a Ihowa o nga mano; ki katoa te whenua i tona kororia.
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
I oioi ano nga pou o nga tatau i te reo o tera i karanga ra, ki tonu te whare i te paowa.
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!”
Na ko taku kianga ake, Aue te mate moku! ka ngaro hoki ahau; he tangata ngutu poke hoki ahau, e noho ana i waenganui i te iwi ngutu poke; kua kite nei hoki oku kanohi i te kingi, i a Ihowa o nga mano.
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Na ko te rerenga mai o tetahi o nga herapima ki ahau, he waro mura i tona ringa, he mea tango mai e ia i te aata ki te kokopi.
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].”
Whakapangia mai ana e ia ki toku mangai, me tana ki mai, Nana, kua pa tenei ki ou ngutu; na kua riro tou he, kua murua tou hara.
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!”
Na ka rongo ahau i te reo o te Ariki e mea ana, Ko wai taku e unga ai, ko wai ta tatou hei haere? Ano ra ko ahau, Tenei ahau, ngarea ko ahau.
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.’
Ano ra ko ia, Haere, mea atu ki tenei iwi, Rongo noa koutou, e kore e matau; titiro noa koutou, e kore e kite.
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].”
Meinga te ngakau o tenei iwi kia ngako, o ratou taringa kia taimaha, whakamoea o ratou kanohi; kei kite o ratou kanohi, kei rongo o ratou taringa, kei matau o ratou ngakau, a ka tahuri, ka whakaorangia.
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.
Ano ra ko ahau, E te Ariki, kia pehea te roa? Na ka mea ia, Kia ururuatia ra ano nga pa, a kore noa he tangata hei noho, kia kore ra ano he tangata mo roto i nga whare, kia tino ururuatia rawatia ano hoki te whenua.
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.
Kia whakamataratia e Ihowa nga tangata ki tawhiti, a ka nui te whakarerenga i waenganui i te whenua.
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.”
A, ki te mau ano he whakatekau i roto i a ia, ka kainga tuaruatia ano ia: ka rite ki te terepini, ki te oki, e mau tonu nei tona uho, i te mea kua tuaina; na hei uho mona te uri tapu.
