Esajas 6
1 I Kong Uzzijas Dødsår så jeg Herren sidde på en såre høj Trone, og hans Slæb fyldte Helligdommen.
In the year of the death of King Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple.
2 Serafer stod hos ham, hver med seks Vinger; med de to skjulte de Ansigtet, med de to Fødderne, og med de to fløj de;
Seraphim are standing above it: each one has six wings; with two [each] covers its face, and with two [each] covers its feet, and with two [each] flies.
3 og de råbte til hverandre: "Hellig, hellig, hellig er Hærskarers HERRE, al Jorden er fuld af hans Herlighed!"
And this one has called to that, and has said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
4 Og Dørstolpernes Hængsler rystede ved Råbet, medens Templet fyldtes af Røg.
And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
5 Da sagde jeg: "Ve mig, det er ude med mig, thi jeg er en Mand med urene Læber, og jeg bor i et Folk med urene Læber, og nu har mine Øjne set Kongen, Hærskarers HERRE!"
And I say, “Woe to me, for I have been silent, For I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I am dwelling in [the] midst of a people of unclean lips, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen.”
6 Men en af Seraferne fløj hen til mig; og han havde i Hånden et glødende Kul, som han med en Tang havde taget fra Alteret;
And one of the seraphim flees to me, and in his hand—a burning coal (with tongs he has taken [it] from off the altar),
7 det lod han røre min Mund og sagde: "Se, det har rørt dine Læber; din Skyld er borte, din Synd er sonet!"
and he strikes against my mouth and says: “Behold, this has struck against your lips, And your iniquity is turned aside, And your sin is covered.”
8 Så hørte jeg Herren sige: "Hvem skal jeg sende, hvem vil gå Bud for os?" Og jeg sagde: "Her er jeg, send mig!"
And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom do I send? And who goes for Us?” And I say, “Here I [am], send me.”
9 Da sagde han: "Gå hen og sig til det folk: Hør kun, dog skal I intet fatte, se kun, dog skal I intet indse!
And He says, “Go, and you have said to this people, Hearing you hear, and you do not understand, And seeing you see, and you do not know.
10 Gør Hjertet sløvt på dette Folk, gør dets Ører tunge, dets Øjne blinde, så det ikke kan se med Øjnene, ej heller høre med Ørene, ej heller fatte med Hjertet og omvende sig og læges."
Declare the heart of this people fat, And declare its ears heavy, And declare its eyes dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And hear with its ears, and consider with its heart, And it has turned back, and has health.”
11 Jeg spurgte: "Hvor længe, Herre?" Og han svarede: "Til Byerne er øde, uden Beboere, og Husene uden et Menneske, og Ager jorden ligger som Ørk!"
And I say, “Until when, O Lord?” And He says, “Surely until cities have been ruined without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground is ruined—a desolation,
12 Og HERREN vil fjerne Menneskene, og Tomhed skal brede sig i Landet;
And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
13 og er der endnu en Tiendedel deri, skal også den udryddes som en Terebinte eller Eg, af hvilken en Stub bliver tilbage, når den fældes. Dens Stub er hellig Sæd.
And yet a tenth in it, and it has turned, And has been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Has substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!”
