Esias 6
1 And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
I Kong Uzzijas Dødsaar saa jeg Herren sidde paa en saare høj Trone, og hans Slæb fyldte Helligdommen.
2 And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
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 cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
og de raabte til hverandre: »Hellig, hellig, hellig er Hærskarers HERRE, al Jorden er fuld af hans Herlighed!«
4 And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
Og Dørstolpernes Hængsler rystede ved Raabet, medens Templet fyldtes af Røg.
5 And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine 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 there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
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 said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
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 to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
Saa hørte jeg Herren sige: »Hvem skal jeg sende, hvem vil gaa Bud for os?« Og jeg sagde: »Her er jeg, send mig!«
9 You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
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 For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should 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, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
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 And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
Og HERREN vil fjerne Menneskene, og Tomhed skal brede sig i Landet;
13 And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
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.
