Isaiah 6
1 In the year in which king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, sublime and exalted, and the things that were under him filled the temple.
I Kong Uzzijas Dødsaar saa jeg Herren sidde paa en saare høj Trone, og hans Slæb fyldte Helligdommen.
2 The Seraphim were standing above the throne. One had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they were covering his face, and with two they were covering his feet, and with two they were flying.
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 they were crying out to one another, and saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! All the earth is filled with his glory!”
og de raabte til hverandre: »Hellig, hellig, hellig er Hærskarers HERRE, al Jorden er fuld af hans Herlighed!«
4 And the lintels above the hinges were shaken at the voice of the one crying out. And the house was filled with smoke.
Og Dørstolpernes Hængsler rystede ved Raabet, medens Templet fyldtes af Røg.
5 And I said: “Woe to me! For I have remained silent. For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King, the Lord of hosts!”
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 And one of the Seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
Men en af Seraferne fløj hen til mig; og han havde i Haanden et glødende Kul, som han med en Tang havde taget fra Alteret;
7 And he touched my mouth, and he said, “Behold, this has touched your lips, and so your iniquities will be taken away, and your sin will be cleansed.”
det lod han røre min Mund og sagde: »Se, det har rørt dine Læber; din Skyld er borte, din Synd er sonet!«
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send?” and, “Who will go for us?” And I said: “Here I am. Send me.”
Saa hørte jeg Herren sige: »Hvem skal jeg sende, hvem vil gaa Bud for os?« Og jeg sagde: »Her er jeg, send mig!«
9 And he said: “Go forth! And you shall say to this people: ‘When you listen, you will hear and not understand. And when you see a vision, you will not comprehend.’
Da sagde han: »Gaa hen og sig til dette Folk: Hør kun, dog skal I intet fatte, se kun, dog skal I intet indse!
10 Blind the heart of this people. Make their ears heavy and close their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and then I would heal them.”
Gør Hjertet sløvt paa dette Folk, gør dets Ører tunge, dets Øjne blinde, saa det ikke kan se med Øjnene, ej heller høre med Ørene, ej heller fatte med Hjertet og omvende sig og læges.«
11 And I said, “For how long, O Lord?” And he said, “Until the cities are desolate, without an inhabitant, and the houses are without a man, and the land will be left behind, deserted.”
Jeg spurgte: »Hvor længe, Herre?« Og han svarede: »Til Byerne er øde, uden Beboere, og Husene uden et Menneske, og Agerjorden ligger som Ørk!«
12 For the Lord will take the men far away, and she who will have been left behind will be multiplied in the midst of the earth.
Og HERREN vil fjerne Menneskene, og Tomhed skal brede sig i Landet;
13 But still, there will be a tithing within her, and she will be converted, and she will be put on display, like a terebinth tree and like an oak which extends its branches. And what will remain standing within her will be a holy offspring.
og er der endnu en Tiendedel deri, skal ogsaa den udryddes som en Terebinte eller Eg, af hvilken en Stub bliver tilbage, naar den fældes. Dens Stub er hellig Sæd.
