< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord seated in his place, high and lifted up, and the Temple was full of the wide skirts of his robe.
فِي سَنَةِ وَفَاةِ عُزِّيَّا ٱلْمَلِكِ، رَأَيْتُ ٱلسَّيِّدَ جَالِسًا عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ عَالٍ وَمُرْتَفِعٍ، وَأَذْيَالُهُ تَمْلَأُ ٱلْهَيْكَلَ.١
2 Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.
ٱلسَّرَافِيمُ وَاقِفُونَ فَوْقَهُ، لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سِتَّةُ أَجْنِحَةٍ، بِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي وَجْهَهُ، وَبِٱثْنَيْنِ يُغَطِّي رِجْلَيْهِ، وَبَٱثْنَيْنِ يَطِيرُ.٢
3 And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.
وَهَذَا نَادَى ذَاكَ وَقَالَ: «قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ، قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ. مَجْدُهُ مِلْءُ كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ».٣
4 And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.
فَٱهْتَزَّتْ أَسَاسَاتُ ٱلْعَتَبِ مِنْ صَوْتِ ٱلصَّارِخِ، وَٱمْتَلَأَ ٱلْبَيْتُ دُخَانًا.٤
5 Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.
فَقُلْتُ: «وَيْلٌ لِي! إِنِّي هَلَكْتُ، لِأَنِّي إِنْسَانٌ نَجِسُ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، وَأَنَا سَاكِنٌ بَيْنَ شَعْبٍ نَجِسِ ٱلشَّفَتَيْنِ، لِأَنَّ عَيْنَيَّ قَدْ رَأَتَا ٱلْمَلِكَ رَبَّ ٱلْجُنُودِ».٥
6 Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.
فَطَارَ إِلَيَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّرَافِيمِ وَبِيَدِهِ جَمْرَةٌ قَدْ أَخَذَهَا بِمِلْقَطٍ مِنْ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ،٦
7 And after touching my mouth with it, he said, See, your lips have been touched with this; and your evil is taken away, and you are made clean from sin.
وَمَسَّ بِهَا فَمِي وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْ شَفَتَيْكَ، فَٱنْتُزِعَ إِثْمُكَ، وَكُفِّرَ عَنْ خَطِيَّتِكَ».٧
8 And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.
ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ قَائِلًا: «مَنْ أُرْسِلُ؟ وَمَنْ يَذْهَبُ مِنْ أَجْلِنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: «هَأَنَذَا أَرْسِلْنِي».٨
9 And he said, Go, and say to this people, You will go on hearing, but learning nothing; you will go on seeing, but without getting wiser.
فَقَالَ: «ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِهَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ: ٱسْمَعُوا سَمْعًا وَلَا تَفْهَمُوا، وَأَبْصِرُوا إِبْصَارًا وَلَا تَعْرِفُوا.٩
10 Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.
غَلِّظْ قَلْبَ هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبِ وَثَقِّلْ أُذُنَيْهِ وَٱطْمُسْ عَيْنَيْهِ، لِئَلَّا يُبْصِرَ بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَيَسْمَعَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ وَيَفْهَمَ بِقَلْبِهِ، وَيَرْجِعَ فَيُشْفَى».١٠
11 Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,
فَقُلْتُ: «إِلَى مَتَى أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ؟» فَقَالَ: «إِلَى أَنْ تَصِيرَ ٱلْمُدُنُ خَرِبَةً بِلَا سَاكِنٍ، وَٱلْبُيُوتُ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ، وَتَخْرَبَ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتُقْفِرَ،١١
12 And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
وَيُبْعِدَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ، وَيَكْثُرَ ٱلْخَرَابُ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.١٢
13 And even if there is still a tenth part in it, it will again be burned, like a tree of the woods whose broken end is still in the earth after the tree has been cut down (the holy seed is the broken end).
وَإِنْ بَقِيَ فِيهَا عُشْرٌ بَعْدُ، فَيَعُودُ وَيَصِيرُ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَلَكِنْ كَٱلْبُطْمَةِ وَٱلْبَلُّوطَةِ، ٱلَّتِي وَإِنْ قُطِعَتْ فَلَهَا سَاقٌ، يَكُونُ سَاقُهُ زَرْعًا مُقَدَّسًا».١٣
