Isaiah 6
1 In the year that king Ozias died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and elevated: and his train filled the temple.
烏齊雅王逝世那年，我看見吾主坐在崇高的御座上，他的衣邊拖曳滿殿。「
2 Upon it stood the seraphims: the one had six wings, and the other had six wings: with two they covered his face, and with two they covered his feet, and with two they hew.
色辣芬」侍立在他左右，各有六個翅膀：兩個蓋住臉，兩個蓋住腳，兩個用來飛翔。
3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
他們互相高呼說：「聖！聖！聖！萬軍的上主！他的光榮充滿大地！」
4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
由於呼喊的聲音，門限的基石也震撼了；殿宇內充滿了煙霧。
5 And I said: Woe is me, because I have held my peace; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people that hath unclean lips, and I have seen with my eyes the King the Lord of hosts.
我遂說：「我有禍了！我完了！因為我是個唇舌不潔的人，住在唇舌不潔的人民中間，竟親眼見了君王－－萬軍的上主！」
6 And one of the seraphims flew to me, and in his hand was a live coal, which he had taken with the tongs off the altar.
當時有一個「色辣芬」飛到我面前，手中拿著鉗子，從祭壇上取了一塊火炭，
7 And he touched my mouth, and said: Behold this hath touched thy lips, and thy iniquities shall be taken away, and thy sin shall be cleansed.
接觸我的口說：「你看，這炭接觸了你的口唇，你的邪惡已經消除，你的罪孽已獲赦免！」
8 And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me.
那時我聽見吾主的聲音說：「我將派遣誰呢﹖誰肯為我們去呢﹖」我回答說：「我在這裏，請派遣我 ！」
9 And he said: Go, and thou shalt say to this people: Hearing, hear, and understand not: and see the vision, and know it not.
他說：「你去對這民族說：你們聽是聽，但不明白；看是看，卻不理解。
10 Blind the heart of this people, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I heal them.
你要使這民族的心遲鈍，使他們的耳朵沉重，使他們的眼睛迷矇，免得他們的眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裏覺悟而悔改，獲得痊癒。」
11 And I said: How long, O Lord? And he said: Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land shall be left desolate.
我追問說：「吾主！要到幾時呢﹖」他回答說：「直到城邑變成廢墟，沒有居民，房屋無人居住，田地變為荒蕪。」
12 And the Lord shall remove men far away, and she shall be multiplied that was left in the midst of the earth.
上主必將人民遷到遠方，本地區荒蕪異常。
13 And there shall be still a tithing therein, and she shall turn, and shall be made a show as a turpentine tree, and as an oak that spreadeth its branches: that which shall stand therein, shall be a holy seed.
境內雖只留下十分之一，還要遭受摧殘；就如松樹和樟樹在伐倒後，尚留有餘幹，聖善的苗裔將由這餘幹產生。
