< 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 that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train 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.
Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings. With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew.
3 Ipukpukkawda iti tunggal maysa a kunada, “Nasantoan, Nasantoan, Nasantoan, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin! Napunno ti entero a lubong iti dayagna.”
One called to another, and said, “More holy than the holiest holiness is Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]! The whole earth is full of his kavod ·weighty glory·!”
4 Nagunggon dagiti ruangan ken dagiti pundasion iti ariwawa dagiti agpukpukkaw, ken napno iti asok ti balay.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, 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!”
Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!”
6 Kalpasanna, timmayab nga immay kaniak ti maysa kadagiti serafim; adda iggemna a beggang nga sinipitna manipud iti altar.
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 Insagidna daytoy iti ngiwatko ket kinunana, “Kitaem, naisagid daytoy iti bibigmo; nadalusanen ti nagbiddutam, ken napakawanen ti basolmo.”
He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin forgiven.”
8 Nangngegko ti timek ti Apo a kunana, “Siasino ti ibaonko; siasino ti mapan nga ibaontayo?” Ket kinunak, “Adtoyak; ibaonnak.”
I sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then 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.
He said, ‘Go, and tell this people, “You sh'ma ·hear obey· sh'ma ·hear obey· yet still don’t understand; and you indeed see, but don’t perceive.”
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.
Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and sh'ma ·hear obey· with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.’
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,
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land becomes utterly waste,
12 ken agingga a papanawen ni Yahweh dagiti tattao, ken naan-anay a langang ti daga.
And Adonai has removed men far away, and the forsaken places are many within the land.
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.
If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock.”
