Izaija 6
1 One godine kad umrije kralj Uzija, vidjeh Gospoda gdje sjedi na prijestolju visoku i uzvišenu. Skuti njegova plašta ispunjahu Svetište.
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Iznad njega stajahu serafi; svaki je imao po šest krila: dva krila da zakloni lice, dva da zakrije noge, a dvama je krilima letio.
Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 I klicahu jedan drugome: “Svet! Svet! Svet Jahve nad Vojskama! Puna je sva zemlja Slave njegove!”
And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
4 Od gromka glasa onih koji klicahu stresoše se dovraci na pragovima, a Dom se napuni dimom.
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 Rekoh: “Jao meni, propadoh, jer čovjek sam nečistih usana, u narodu nečistih usana prebivam, a oči mi vidješe Kralja, Jahvu nad Vojskama!”
Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
6 Jedan od serafa doletje k meni: u ruci mu žerava koju uze kliještima sa žrtvenika;
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 dotače se njome mojih usta i reče: “Evo, usne je tvoje dotaklo, krivica ti je skinuta i grijeh oprošten.”
And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
8 Tad čuh glas Gospodnji: “Koga da pošaljem? I tko će nam poći?” Ja rekoh: “Evo me, mene pošalji!”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
9 On odgovori: “Idi i reci tom narodu: 'Slušajte dobro, al' nećete razumjeti, gledajte dobro, al' nećete spoznati.'
And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Otežaj salom srce tom narodu, ogluši mu uši, zaslijepi oči, da očima ne vidi, da ušima ne čuje i srcem da ne razumije kako bi se obratio i ozdravio.”
Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
11 Ja rekoh: “Dokle, o Gospode?” On mi odgovori: “Dok gradovi ne opuste i ne ostanu bez žitelja, dok kuće ne budu bez ikoga živa, i zemlja ne postane pustoš,
Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
12 dok Jahve daleko ne protjera ljude. Haranje veliko pogodit će zemlju,
until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 i ostane li u njoj još desetina, i ona će biti zatrta poput duba kad ga do panja posijeku. Panj će njihov biti sveto sjeme.”
And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
