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.
I Kong Uzzijas Dødsår så jeg Herren sidde på en såre høj Trone, og hans Slæb fyldte Helligdommen.
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.
Serafer stod hos ham, hver med seks Vinger; med de to skjulte de Ansigtet, med de to Fødderne, og med de to fløj de;
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.
og de råbte til hverandre: "Hellig, hellig, hellig er Hærskarers HERRE, al Jorden er fuld af hans Herlighed!"
4 And the bases of the door-pillars were shaking at the sound of his cry, and the house was full of smoke.
Og Dørstolpernes Hængsler rystede ved Råbet, medens Templet fyldtes af Røg.
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.
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!"
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.
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;
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.
det lod han røre min Mund og sagde: "Se, det har rørt dine Læber; din Skyld er borte, din Synd er sonet!"
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.
Så hørte jeg Herren sige: "Hvem skal jeg sende, hvem vil gå Bud for os?" Og jeg sagde: "Her er jeg, send mig!"
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.
Da sagde han: "Gå hen og sig til det folk: Hør kun, dog skal I intet fatte, se kun, dog skal I intet indse!
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.
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."
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,
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!"
12 And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.
Og HERREN vil fjerne Menneskene, og Tomhed skal brede sig i Landet;
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).
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.
