< Isaias 6 >

1 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.
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.
2 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.
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.
3 Ipukpukkawda iti tunggal maysa a kunada, “Nasantoan, Nasantoan, Nasantoan, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! Napunno ti entero a lubong iti dayagna.”
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!”
4 Nagunggon dagiti ruangan ken dagiti pundasion iti ariwawa dagiti agpukpukkaw, ken napno iti asok ti balay.
And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
5 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!”
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!”
6 Kalpasanna, timmayab nga immay kaniak ti maysa kadagiti serafim; adda iggemna a beggang nga sinipitna manipud iti altar.
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.
7 Insagidna daytoy iti ngiwatko ket kinunana, “Kitaem, naisagid daytoy iti bibigmo; nadalusanen ti nagbiddutam, ken napakawanen ti basolmo.”
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.”
8 Nangngegko ti timek ti Apo a kunana, “Siasino ti ibaonko; siasino ti mapan nga ibaontayo?” Ket kinunak, “Adtoyak; ibaonnak.”
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.”
9 Kinunana, “Mapanka ket ibagam daytoy kadagiti tattao, dumngegkayo ngem saankayo a makaawat; makakitakayo ngem saanyo a maawatan.
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.’
10 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.
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.”
11 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,
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.”
12 ken agingga a papanawen ni Yahweh dagiti tattao, ken naan-anay a langang ti daga.
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.
13 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.
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.
