U-Isaya 6:1-8

Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u-Uziya ngabona uJehova ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi esiphezulu nesiphakemeyo, umsila wengubo yakhe ugcwalisa ithempeli. Ngaphezu kwakhe kwakumi amaserafi;* yilelo nalelo lalinamaphiko ayisithupha; ngamabili lamboza ubuso, nangamabili lamboza izinyawo, nangamabili landiza. Elinye lamemeza kwelinye, lathi: “Ungcwele, ungcwele, ungcwele uJehova Sebawoti, wonke umhlaba ugcwele inkazimulo yakhe.” Izinsika zomnyango zathuthumela ngezwi lomemezayo, indlu yagcwala umusi. Ngase ngithi: “Maye kimi! Ngokuba ngiphelile, lokhu ngingumuntu ozindebe zakhe zingcolile, futhi ngihlezi phakathi kwabantu abazindebe zabo zingcolile, ngokuba amehlo ami abonile iNkosi uJehova Sebawoti.” Kepha landizela kimi elinye lamaserafi* liphethe ilahle elivuthayo esandleni salo, elalilithathe ngodlawu e-altare, lathinta umlomo wami, lathi: “Bheka, lokhu kuthintile izindebe zakho; ububi bakho sebususiwe, nezono zakho zihlanguliwe.” Futhi ngezwa izwi leNkosi lithi: “Ngiyakuthuma bani, ngubani oyakusiyela na?” Ngase ngithi: “Bheka, nangu mina; ngithume mina.”
