Isaiah See di Throne
For di year wey Uzziah die, Isaiah see our Papa sidon for throne, and e scatter am because im own lip no clean, until coal from di altar touch am. E volunteer before e even hear di work: go talk to people wey no go understand, until di cities dey empty. Na only stump go remain.
6 1For di year wey King Uzziah die, I see di Lord Jesus wey sidon for one throne, high well well wey dem lift up, and di edge of im robe full di temple. a a v1 Di apostle John tell us sey na Jesus glory Isaiah see — John 12:41. 2For im top, seraphim dey stand, each one get six wings: two dey cover di face, two dey cover di leg, two dey fly. 3Dem dey call one anoda sey: “Holy, holy, holy na our Papa, di Pikin, and di Holy Spirit, di Oga of heaven army; di whole earth full with im glory.” b b v3 Di three-times ‘holy’ wey di seraphim talk, Christian tradition dey hear am as worship of di three-in-one God. Di New Testament name each Person of dis throne-vision: Jesus (John 12:41), di Holy Spirit (Acts 28:25), and di Papa — wey John own parallel vision echo (Rev 4:8).
4As dem voice sound, di foundation of di doorway shake, and di house full with smoke. 5Den I talk sey: “Trouble dey for me o! I don finish! I be man wey im mouth no clean, and I dey live among people wey dem mouth no clean—and my eye don see di King, Jesus, di Oga of all heaven army!”
6Den one of di seraphim fly come me with hot coal wey dey burn for im hand, wey e take tongs carry from di altar. 7E take am touch my mouth and talk sey, “See, dis one don touch your lips; your guilt don comot, dem don cover your sin.”
8Den I hear di voice of our Lord Jesus dey talk sey, “Who I go send? Who go go for us?” I talk sey, “See me here. Send me.”
9E talk sey, “Go, tell dis people sey: ‘Make una dey hear, but una no go ever understand; make una dey see, but una no go ever perceive.’ 10Make di heart of dis people hard like stone; make dem ear deaf and dem eye blind—so dat dem no go see with dem eye, hear with dem ear, understand with dem heart, and turn come make dem heal.”
11Den I talk sey, “How long, Lord Jesus?” E answer sey: “Until town dem lie waste and empty, houses wey no get person, di land wey dem leave completely bare,
12“Until our Papa don send di people go far away, and plenty emptiness cover di land. c c v12 Jesus, wey dey for di throne, name our Papa for here — dey name anoda Person of di same God wey dey send di people go exile.
13And even doh one-tenth remain inside am, dem go burn am again—like terebinth or oak tree wey im stump dey remain when dem cut am down. Di holy seed na im stump.” d d v13 Terebinth na big, wide tree — e resemble oak — wey dey leave wide stump when dem cut am down.
